Lennar Reviews

The home seems well overpriced for the poor quality of materials used, especially the flooring. The houses are built MUCH too close together, and my backyard has a very steep decline that makes much of the yard unusable.

I was promised warranty work on my house and they even dropped off the materials. While the house next to me was getting constructed they got stucco on my house and they didn’t fix it. Greg the Knowologest was amazing. He got everything fixed for me and called me the next day. The new knowologest took over and is horrible. Before Greg let he said the GC would fix the paint and the GC never did. No the new knowologest said he not going to fix it. While buying the house the waiting until the last day to say they needed documents to close. They have 3 weeks and waited until the last day. The loan officer was very nice through the process. ...

Very disappointed in our new build. Cheap construction & quality. They used the cheapest appliances they could find. The 1st 2 builds in our community have double pane windows, ours are single pane & the condensation every day is crazy. They just threw the houses together as quickly as possible with multiple issues for the homeowners to handle. Our floors ate uneven, our garage wasn't working correctly, the refrigerator & dishwasher were so cheap we have already replaced them. We regret buying a new build right now.

I don’t even know where to begin. I trusted you. I was excited to get a brand new home only to find out that the the workmanship is shoddy. My yard is a swamp and I have expressed my concerns about this for two months only to be pushed aside. I have had multiple contractors over to my home only to state that they’ve never seen anything like this in their life. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar to a dog. The walk-through was smoke and mirrors I couldn’t even concentrate on the issues only to be told after I close that sorry you’ve closed so there’s nothing we can do. I’m just waiting for my foundation to crack in half. I’ve put thousands of dollars into this house already and I’ve only begun to just make it livable and I haven’t even totally moved in yet because I’m scared too ... More

Still emptying buckets from our leaking ceiling every single morning 5 weeks in

From the beginning I said I did not wish to do things electronically but was forced into it. Then I was told after everything was done I being transfered to another mortgage company without any reason or notification. Bad communication on getting back to fix issues. This refrigerator is faulty it keeps beeping when I heard the beeps when looking at the house before buying I thought It was a security alarm on the house. I've been calling in about it but getting no one to get back with me on the issue then on left side of house there looks to be a problem with the bricks. I need the correct number for the warranty company to look into these problems. Thanks if you can help I'd appreciate it. ... More

Good luck getting anything fixed! Worst experience I have ever had with a builder. Their word means absolutely nothing. Still having issues with getting things fixed that was supposed to be done from our final walk. The only experience that was pleasant was between our sales person and the loan process. The construction side was a total mess!

For the price we pay for the home, you would think the quality would match however that isn’t the case. Not only did they rush to put it together, after we purchased the home before closing they were sloppy. We had a walk through and they still did not fix issues. Just removed some of the tape and acted like they did. Still to this day, we are finding tape they never addressed too. All around just think they are sloppy and want their money - not interested in having returning buyers bc they try to scam you.

I had high expectations when buying from lennar been looking to buy lennar since 2019 i have seen multiple lennar south and west texas neighborhoods but when it came to buying our first home this year 2024 I was very disappointed in lennar, when we went through our inspection walk, our inspector Abdul was great and he helped us find a lot of issues and mistakes with the home, we felt very confident in him that these issues were gonna get resolved. There was damage to the kitchen cabinets, trim that was bulging around the island, doors not properly latching, missing touch ups on the paint and the grass was not evenly laid out. There were many gaps in the grass and some boards on the fence were also missing nails. The driveway and patio concrete was dirty in the back yard. I'm not sure how they prepare the home for move in but our flooring came with scratches and was filthy when we moved in. When we met the construction manager Marcus M., he assured us that everything was going to get fixed and there was no need to have a secondary walk through which we trusted but turned out to be a huge lie and mistake of our part because when we moved into our home none of the items were fixed. I believe that these homes were rushed to built just so that there could be inventory homes to sell. I'm not sure if there is even inspection of the framing and foundation. For the quality of the home, I feel like we overpaid. If anyone is looking to buy a lennar home, I highly recommend you get your own inspector to inspect the building process prior to move in. ...

I stil waiting for some issues to be repair

Lennar is extremely low end. They pinch pennies and do not build any part of the house with quality. There will be glue on the floor, chipped sinks, sheetrock lining hanging out with staples showing, no spicket in the backyard for a hose (who doesnt put water in the front and back?!?!

During my initial walk through I found several issues to include a/c not working, toilet not working and several cosmetic issues prior to closing. The worst thing I found was someone had used and spilled something in my microwave and urine on my master bedroom toilet. I was in complete shock and disgusted and the construction manager, Mark, was made aware of these findings prior to move in. The day of closing the house seemed in order but the toilet was supposedly being replaced and when I mentioned to the construction manager that the a/c was still on the same number he said it was fine and gave some poor excuse. He apologized for his staff using the toilet and microwave and that he was shocked as well and would have a conversation with his crew. When I finished closing on my house and was ready to move in I found that someone used my microwave again and left food in my sink, my toilet was still slow to flush and urine stain was still on the lid. To make matters worse my a/c was NOTA WORKING and my daughter and I slept hot our first night. When I called Mark the next day he told me it was no longer his issue and that I would have to contact warranty. I felt super blindsided. When the a/c guy showed up he realized it was unplugged. I’ve had to put in warranty requests just about every week to have them come fix things that should have been addressed prior to closing and I’ve found the worst construction flaws in my house. You would think the workers were drunk while putting this place together. So far my toilet has stopped working three times and the last plumber that came out found a huge chunk of TILE had been thrown down the pipe and the wax ring had fallen in the pipe as well which was causing the clogs. Worst home buying experience I’ve had. The only upside is my new home orientation contact, Sharmin, has been on top of things when I’ve put in requests and she’s been the only person that has cared about all the issues I’ve encountered and she has proven to care about me as a person whose hard-earned money went into buying this home. The sales rep could have cared less even when myself and my realtor brought these issues up to her nor did the construction manager nor his superiors when contacted. Buyer beware!! Purchase a Lennar home at your own risk!!! ... More

It started out good and took a quick bad turn. First, my house is supposed to close in April and it closed in February. I found out why. They had me sign all the paper the last day of January on a Friday had I waited two days my interest rate would have been 4.5 but my interest rate was at 4.99. That was Friday night and I had 20 minutes to make it to the bank and they had me go and get it cashier check if they didn’t get it in by the 20 minutes it would’ve closed on Monday instead of Friday and I would’ve got the 4.5 interest rate . They told me in the office that I had to close Friday and I had to be back before that 20 minutes. I’m sure they didn’t know that Monday the interest rate was gonna drop. it took them three weeks to check out a breaker and a plug in my house for the dryer and now I have to contact the appliance company and have them come out because my dryer doesn’t work and I’ve been waiting. They just told me oh yeah, it’s your dryer contact the appliance company and have them replace it, I’m about five weeks out but no laundry. I open my windows and now I can’t close them because the wood swell from raining and the latch doesn’t fit in the slot no more the windows are very cheap. Period. I had tack boards on my stairs, sticking straight up under the carpet , as I’m walking up the stairs with my baby, they’re stabbing my feet, and I almost dropped him on every stair. It takes forever to get something done call Customer Care they have me do a video chat I got to submit something on the computer try to make two or three different appointments for someone to come by and fix anything not convenient for the homeowner at all. ...

I will not buy a Lennar home again. The lack of attention to detail is astounding. First time buying a new build. Live and learn. No shows and lack of communication on getting repairs done underscores my dissatisfaction. Pre buying there was a lot of talk about being responsive. Let’s see it in action!

The workmanship is lacking and responding to fix things is awful

Our experience continues to be exhausting and frustrating. We had a 9 page punch list on the first walk through which was not addressed by the closing date. Being in the house for almost two months we are still waiting to get things corrected that should have never been issues if the builder used common sense. The issue costing us, is our AC is not working properly through out the house costing us high electrical bills. Light switches did not work, had to paint the entire house inside and out, seals on all windows had to be replaced, still waiting on hardware for the hurricane shutters. There is not enough staff to complete these issues for all the homes. We were never clear who the contact person was, the warranty person, contract manager, virtual Lennar contact (have two of them) or to reach out to the subcontractors directly. We are at the point where we don't want to say anything, for concerns the repair will make it worse, like matching the tile that needs to be replaced. We were not left extra tile of the same lot incase repairs are needed. I have designed and built homes before retiring, and the biggest issue is the building manager or general contractor is not managing the quality as the house is being built. If they corrected these errors as the house is going up, it's more cost effective then repairing after build is complete. ... More

Quality non existent in Lennar homes.....everything was done as cheaply as possible!

Tasks aren’t being completed to the satisfaction of the homeowner. Work is shoddy at best. Unprofessional builder.

If I could put zero stars for Responsive to issues, I would. My actual home buying experience with the salesman was excellent. His name is Mitch. Great guy and he was always there to answer questions. If he did not know an answer, he would find it for me by the next day. There were many issues to be addressed with the home before closing. The “construction builder” and the “main warranty” man assured me that I should close on time and that they would be here for me to fix the numerous outstanding items. I trusted them. So I closed. The quality of workmanship in my home is subpar, at best. Every day I find new things that were not completed correctly. I followed the steps that Lennar outlined for me by putting in “warranty requests” on all outstanding items. My list just grows and nothing gets fixed or resolved. There is no interest or timely communication in addressing all of the things that were incomplete or broke before I closed on my home. Lennar has one man who they entrust to “fix” all issues except electrical. They will not honor the Lennar warranty properly by sending out qualified “trades” to address the issues. Each one requires a different job specialty, but Lennar will not spend the money to make things right. I always wanted a “Lennar Home”. But my experience in the last few months has forced me to regret the purchase of this home. ... More

This home buying experience has been a total nightmare. Everything from poor workmanship to electrical, plumbing, door issues, etc. We closed 2 months ago and still have multiple issues that have not been taken care of. In addition, we found out after we closed on our house that Lennar does not include screen doors on the patio doors! We purchase them from C&C window for $720.00. When they went to install them on the triple slider, they couldn't install because the door frame was installed incorrectly. C&C replaced the door jam and installed the screens but in the process ripped out a big section of drywall and Stucco that still hasn't been repaired. In addition to that I still have a list of 14 items that have not been corrected. Once they get your money, good luck with getting issues fixed. ... More

My experience began with a very energetic salesperson and loan processor who worked to get my home under contract. My experience went downhill from the time I did the final walkthrough, closing, and moving into a home that has lots of poor workmanship and materials. The final walkthrough was conducted by the Superintendent alone, no salesperson. The Title company, was horrid to say the least. We met with a Notary and no one from the Title company addressed us at all. The title company sent emails indicating that we were to return to the home after the closing, however there was no one here to meet us, we had to go find the Superintendent who showed us where the keys were. No one bothered to explain who we were to contact for utilities or where to pick up our mail as the mailboxes were not operable. The painters dripped paint on my tub, light switches, tile holders and the floors. The concrete installers missed a section of the back patio, so we had to except a glaring difference in the concrete or the section would be without concrete creating a breach between the patio and the back of the house. In the front walkway, the concrete is not only cracking, it is breaking up and we are being told that nothing can be done to correct the problem. The concrete in the garage is not level, and again we are being told that nothing can be done and if something is done, we will have two different colors of concrete in the garage. Nothing has been done so far, therefore, I do not trust Lennar as a builder and have serious regrets about my decision to purchase my home from Lennar. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Lennar to anyone else. ... More

We’ve had many issues with our home after closing escrow from water leaks to appliances not being installed correctly. Getting a lennar rep to fix the issues has been very difficult

There still pending Items that need to be corrected or completed...workmanship was the worst. Spent my own money and time to get the house in order and thanks to Justin who is taking care of lots of things for me at this moment.

My home buying experience was not pleasant. From the start representatives tried to force me to use Lennar financing and threatened that I could lose my deposit if I went with another lender. From there it got worse. My closings date was chosen by Lennar and it did seem like there was any coordination with the construction side. A week before closing I have my orientation and the electrical had not been tested so there were no lights or AC and the water had not been tested with we could do a proper walkthrough. The day before closing I spoke with a representative from the construction side and they told me the home wasn’t even 90% done yet. On my original closing date I arrived at the home to do a final walkthrough and there were holes cut out of my pantry wall because my water heater was leaking. The stove top was missing and my oven/ microwave was sitting on the floor. To make it worse. The plumber realized the fixtures on the bathtub were reversed. Since there is no way to access them he had to cut a hole in the dining room ceiling to access the supply lines. After that was fixed the turned the water on and water came gushing out of the ceiling. At this point the construction rep called his boss to look at the situation. I them received a call from the sales representative stating that they will give me $6500 towards my closing cost if I closed on that day but I wouldn’t be able to move in for 2 weeks. I replied that I would close only if they paid all closing cost at this point. They declined. The started the remediation to make sure no mold or water damage was evident. They had heaters and blowers on 24/7 for at least 4 days. I notified the sales representative that the electricity was switched over to my name 48 hours prior to closing as per the letter Lennar sent listing things that needed to be done prior to the closing date. The sales representative replied “ why did you do that. You haven’t closed yet”. So I send her a copy of the check list they sent me. Again they declined to do anything about it. I was stuck paying the electricity bill for the month that it took for them to get the house ready for the 2nd closing date. 2 days prior to the second closing date we did a final walk through and notated what needed to be fixed and today over a month and a half later I still have things that need fixing. ...
