Lennar Reviews

Unfortunately many things in this home feel slapped together. The decisions made on things like where to put the pocket lights and where to position the AC unit show just how much the building team is thoughtless in their approach, which makes the home feel ... clunky. The materials used are the cheapest possible. From decking material that my child regularly gets splinters on to paint that literally rubs off when you get the wall wet, I would not say the quality of materials stands up to the price tag.

Very disappointed with solar. 3 months after moving in and solar not activated. Lennar tells me that I need to call Sunova and XCEL. None of my neighbors who moved in at the same time had to call anybody and their solar was activated months ago.

Very bad experience with our sales rep. No understanding of customer service. Luckily there is good customer support and great contract manager site.

Was very disappointed in my newly constructed duplex. I have had my previous homes built and never had any of the issues I had with this purchase.The positive aspect is that customer service has been very responsive in resolving the issues

The folks that are actually running the job sites do the most to correct the issues as they come up and from my experience with Lennar they will come up.

You will be forced into using their lender. Inspect the home as often as you can during construction.

Zero transparency during the build. Build was months behind. Closing was a disaster. Quality was very poor for the price Only saving grace for Lennar has been the warranty process, to which they have been very responsive.

I just want people to make sure they do the inspection correctly and not to sign until everything is fix. Especially the floor.

Many times they seem to take advantage of the situation and it seemed they were doing their best to make me lose my money. I had a bad time in those moments.

So the buying process was pretty smooth. My sales rep was Matt. Very helpful answered whatever questions I had. Only issue was I was sold a house that was supposed to have a pretty big backyard but when it was said and done the driveway was really long and the backyard was tiny. By then it was too late to wait for anything else. Plus they picked the poorest rated hoa for the neighborhood.

trust but verify

Many things in finished after I moved in. I constantly had to address un finished issues in the home on numerous occasions. This was a very frustrated experience. However, my closing was very smooth.

I am disappointed in Lennar’s overall service. My experience from start to finish was not the best or the smoothest. I think that a company as big as Lennar should provide a better overall home buying experience to their clients.

Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but with Lennar specifically you’re in for a wild ride, and I don’t mean in the fun way. Be prepared to receive an unfinished product, and be forced to close regardless. Be prepared for lack of knowledge of what Lennar even offers via sales consultant and lack of work ethic and cooperation. After the hurricane that was getting this home, 5 months later I can finally say it is a finished, beautiful product after many warranty claims, some of which are still unfinished. But the process in and of itself was a nightmare by most parties (they have since chance construction manager to Andy and all is well in that realm). You have to be knowledgeable for yourself because there is no one with Lennar who has your best interest at heart. ... More

Major repair was performed in one bathroom shower enclosure that was cracked and a poor attempt had been made to cover it up. Plumbing noise during use of hot water supply to upstairs bathrooms. Stucco and paint over spray on all outside windows. All countertops and plumbing fixtures had excessive sealant product left on surfaces. The tile floors had excessive grout haze. Doors and baseboards were covered in construction dust. When windows were opened there was literally mud in the sill.

Well we moved in and were told if there are any problems there a web page put all your problems there....If to bought a phone and I told you that there was a web site to go to if you have connection problems and you can't get on line how would you feel ?we have nails backing out..flooring problems..and paint that has piled back drive way cracks and you can't even have someone stop by know instead you send out surveys to make you feel better See how good we are..Ya no.....word of mouth go's a long way

I hate Lennar's Everything's Included program. Buyers spend hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions for their homes and can't even do something as simple as select what color cabinets or countertops we get. The Everything's Included program is just a way for them to streamline their building process, make as many homes as fast as possible without giving buyers the option to make a house a home.

I love my new home. Lennar had great floor plans and a variety of finishing options both inside and outside the home. Unfortunately there were some issues. Home itself was great. If you end up being a winter build, be ready to go through a maddening spring. If you close on your home in the winter, you do not get a driveway, sidewalk, or sod. This makes sense given the winter conditions. Here comes the fun part, so that Lennar can make its fiscal numbers, once spring comes, they prioritize their monthly closings first and the winter closings go to the bottom of the priority list for sidewalks, driveways, and sod. The have poor communication about this and try to avoid being straight forward about their practices, they just keep saying “soon” when you ask for updates. The end up laying the sod late in the spring and it doesn’t survive, but they don’t care because they checked the box. ... More

We love our floor plan and neighbors, but are really disappointed with the quality and expectations that Lennar has of its subcontractors. Apparently our standards are too high for a production builder.

My property happens to be the end unit on the side of the busy road where cars come at 45 MPH. I have taken photographs highlighting the need of the fencing similar to the fencing adopted by neighbor communities in Amberley area who are on the same side of the busy road. I wrote a note to Lennar sales, Lennar land department.. still they are not addressed. Their say is, its not in the layout and cannot be actioned upon. I have been asking the sales team to direct me to someone on the land department to talk about my concerns, I have never been directed till today. It has been almost 4 months after I closed and moved in. Yet to get a answer. THis is my biggest concern. I really want someone from LENNAR land department or someone higher up in the hierarchy to contact me to discuss this issue. ... More

Craftmans ship is terrible. Trim used is cheap wood. Paint was terrible and all over our flooring.

At first very nice, but complicated to deal with, rude not a good experience

While the initial contract and purchase process went smoothly, everything afterward was frustrating and poorly managed. Loan Application & Closing: The loan process lacked transparency and responsiveness. Confirming the closing date and time was unnecessarily stressful. The final walk-through and communication with the title agent felt rushed and unprofessional. At closing, I was given little to no information regarding the builder warranty—something that should have been clearly communicated. Post-Closing Issues: Just 1.5 months after moving in, the water heater broke down. I had to initiate and manage the repair process myself, which was unexpected for a brand-new home. Escrow & Tax Bill Confusion: I recently received a school tax bill due within 30 days. I was told the mortgage is still in the process of being transferred and the servicer cannot accept tax payments yet. This contradicts the fact that funds were escrowed specifically to handle such payments on time. This lapse is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about how my escrow funds are being managed. Lack of Mortgage Account Access: To make matters worse, there is no online portal provided by Lennar Mortgage where I can view important details such as loan balance, payment history, or escrow activity. This lack of visibility is not only inconvenient but also concerning from a financial management standpoint. Overall, the experience after signing the contract has been frustrating and stressful. I expected a much higher level of service and support, especially from a well-known builder like Lennar and its affiliated companies. ... More

The sales woman Lauren completely lied through her teeth about multiple things. Most of the time I think she just didn’t know the answer but acted like she did. The day after we signed I never heard from her again despite reaching out multiple times. She passed us off to Elle the homebuyer concierge who was useless. She would take days to get back to me if at all and when she did she would not help at all just tie in someone else from Lennar who wouldn’t respond. The construction manager Michael was clearly lazy and not smart or responsive. I asked him to get me simple measurements on something like the fridge opening and it would take him a week and require me to follow up multiple times. The only responsive and good people to work with were the Mortgage team Clif and Crystal. Lauren, Elle, and Michael should all be fired. ... More
