Lennar Reviews

The home buying experience was tainted by the Lennar company, Eagle Home Mortgage, which made the entire process so stressful and they ignored entirely the impact every delay, and there were numerous delays by Eagle Mortgage. They did not care a little finger that every week they delayed, cost us, the customer, more in lodging, loan points, and utility charges from scheduling service starts, then having to reschedule them, appliance deliveries has to be delayed, orders changed or canceled. It was the worst experience we have ever had in home buying and this was our 6th home. Aside from that, our home was built fairly well, and during our acceptance only a few smallish repairs needed, and the construction manager handled those well. Eagle Home Mortgage, for us, was unprofessional to the point of amateurish and bumbling. Never once were we apologized to for their ineptitude and wholly unsatisfactory customer service. In fact, after all the delays, due to their incompetence, they had the gall to charge us more points because of those delays. I recommend never using Eagle Home Mortgage, if you can avoid them. ...

The overall design and architecture of the home is great. However, the workmanship and installation of materials in almost every area is substandard. Especially for a price point nearing $800,000.

We have a number of issues that are now going on over 8 weeks. Yes we do understand the need to keep folks from inside our home because of the virus concerns. The issues that I am speaking about are exterior issue.

We moved in on December 2019 and the building is not ready yet. The lobby is not ready and the Fob entrance system neither.

Do your homework. Really critique the model homes. Be vigilant during the building process. Submit tickets after you purchase.

Poor quality control during the build. House next door has been half built for 6 months and I have a constant flow of trash in my yard. Lennar mortgage company was a nightmare to work with.

I love my house, the workmanship is great but I am very disappointed that the swimming pool will not be installed until the summer or 2021 when I was told it would be built by 2020. Management has not reached out to make accommodations for us to perhaps utilize nearby facilities until the pool is place. Also there has been a recent decrease in the value of townhomes in Grand Bees which is very disconcerting.

My realtor was amazing and caught quite a few financial mistakes.

We were told if we didn’t close by May 30th we wouldn’t get the special interest rate, our original closing date was June 17th, we moved it up to help them meet a quarterly quota. Our agent informed me that this was one of the top three worst and most challenging buying/selling experiences he’s encountered in his entire 10-year career in real estate.

It was unfortunate that we had to provide the same documents over and over again to the mortgage representative. We kept getting asked the same questions about which we’d already answered. The shower enclosure is not safe for folks who are 6’ tall and the builder would do nothing about it. The new home representative said I couldn’t park in the drive way because the driveway still belonged to Lennar. Overall a poor showing.

Lennar charge 2% of the sale price for not closing in time. If you live out of State, Making sure communicate directly to Title Dept that you need mobile closing. Dont trust the Sale agent. I paid $4800 for this matter. It was a trap!

Everything was great except the sales rep Bryan. He doesn't return calls very unprofessional. He was the only downside of the process. He was not there when I closed they had to call someone else to give me my keys which took an hour. It is once he received my deposit he turns cold. Even when I first applied he didn't return calls to follow up. Thankful for the loan officer and others but the sales staff should be replaced. I would not recommend anyone to purchase based on his professionalism but everything was great

I found it extremely frustrating that the walk thru time is dictated by lennar and not the buyer. I asked them to send me a calendar invite and was told " we don't do that". My experience with david weeklyvwas amazing and they worked with the buyer. Lennar has a very military like feel to the home buying experience. I wanted a different front door and was told no, I wanted different colored cabinets and was told no. " we at lennar don't do that" is what I was told. In my humble opinion Lennar is a turn and burn company in regards to their buyers. Lennar just cares about the sale. However my driveway is too steep and I filled out a complaint online and a gentleman named Josh contacted me the next day which exceeded my expectations and they are fixing my driveway. But now I have to buy a new front door on a brand new house, I have to buy brand new cabinets on a brand new house. None of this happened with David Weekly, the buyer was in control and valued. ...

Cheap materials in everything cabnets the paint horrible finish work from the workers I can't even imagine the inside the walls or areas un able to see. Everything is the cheapest materials you can buy. Lennar is top leaders supposedly, so unfortunately that they use the cheapest quality and the houses are not the same price as the cheap crap they use.

We love our home but the home buying process was arduous at best. We have now been in our home for 5 weeks and we are waiting for repairs from the initial FaceTime walk through. All of the things that were supposed to be fixed were not. I am not sure if it is a corporate issue or just the local office. We have reached out and have not been contacted back. There is clearly a disconnect from the sales to lending to closing process. We are still waiting for confirmation of funds distributed and we found out today that Lennar did not actually pay all of the 2025 hoa dues as promised (even though the correct rate was available at the time of our closing). We love our house and neighborhood but feel Lennar should have completed all tasks as promised and someone should be accountable and follow up when they are fixing the repairs prior to closing. ...

My experience was not good.

Poor communication throughout entire process.

I moved from out of state so I relied on my realtor and Lennar sales rep to assist me thru the process. There were some issues at walkthrough which were addressed by bldg mgr such as dead sod replacement before closing. I drove for 2 days to get to DE and upon arriving at the sales office to pick up my keys I was handed my keys by the sales agent. There was no welcoming feeling from her which I thought was odd. How about welcome to the community or welcome to Delaware. All she said was “I wonder when you were getting here”. Moving on, I got to the house and within 48 hrs my water was shut off. Again, every state does water a little different and I was in the middle of moving in. Lennar, how about knocking on my door to let me know that in Delaware you need to set up an acct with Artesian water. My daughter moved into her home and was told that she didn’t need to call. Some confusion there but again I called to have it turned back on. A week passed and I went to use the oven for the 1st time and flames shot out throughout the entire oven. Scary but immediately turned it off and called our customer care person Chris. He stopped by, made a phone call and had someone out to my house same day to install properly sized converter for oven. Chris was pleasant and helpful. Several weeks now passed and weeds were up to my knees. No grass was being cut until pics were taken on top of the grass becoming brown again. I was watering daily but between drought conditions and heat wave grass was struggling to take root. Fast forward to September and I have a lawn company out to see if they can fertilize/aerate/seed grass. Keeping fingers crossed that they can save the lawn. Meanwhile neighbors have made comments about my lawn. (Embarrassing). Moving forward, to late September and my water meter’s not recording the water usage. Called Artesian and they sent a technician out to see what was going on. Well, he told me that meter wasn’t working so he replaced but told me that the underground area where meter was installed was collapsing and that I need to contact builder to have that addressed. He thought maybe it was damaged during the grading process. I took pictures and emailed Chris again. He did respond and said that he’s not sure it’s a Lennar or HOA issue but wanted to see the pictures of the broken meter and ground so I sent them. So here we are. Next week will be 2 months. I am hoping that I made the right decision to purchase a Lennar home. Overall, I am staying positive and maybe Lennar will reach out and speak to me. ... More

Closing on the house was a stressful situation in itself. I've had several issues inside and outside of my house to include quality of craftsmanship and quality of material. My door frame has been split since before moving in but I could not see due to the builder painting over the split in the frame until recently due to opening/closing the door on a regular basis and the paint wearing off. The drainage in the yard has been an ongoing since I moved in.

I really had to advocate for my wife and myself throughout the whole process as so many balls were dropped during construction, contracting, and even turnover day. So many things had to be escalated to regional sales or regional construction members as the local folks just couldn’t close the loop on so many items. Don’t get me started on working with their financing either. I had to threaten to walk from the deal before they finally gave me final approval. They wanted to know every detail of my life, even what auto savings transfers of a few dollars were for. Really? I was literally told something along the lines of, “We do 77,000 of these a year, stuff is bound to fall through the cracks.” It was a good reminder right at the end that we truly were a number. Our keys didn’t even work right on turnover day so guess who was guided to file a warranty claim instead of actually having the vendor give us keys that worked for all the locks of the home. Already been doing work on the property and discovered so many corners were cut. Who hangs a horizontal fence beam with only one screw out of three to hold it in on each side. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to many years of fixing all the issues we’ve already noticed and those yet to come. ... More

My first contact with Lennar was not good. I was supposed to meet a representative at a model house, I arrived ands she was not there. I tried to contact her and she said she was sending someone to meet me. I left since she was deceptive about the whole thing. If it were not for the Real Estate agent I used, I would not have bought a house from them. Their customer service is worse than the DMV. IF you email a question, they do not respond. You have to blast email them and everyone else involved in the process to get a response. The house is not badly constructed, they will use the cheapest materials they have at hand, but at least the construction is sound. I have had one service request after the purchasing of the home and they responded in a fair time frame to resolve it. The purchasing of the house was the biggest disappointment, but the home itself is very decent. ... More

Fast built but works are not neat. We got crooked attachment plugs, hole in front porch, no shower seal, paints that are already coming off, creaked doors. High ceiling is a plus but still hear people upstairs stomping and moving around so loudly. Thin walls, we can hear people walking upstairs next to our unit. Sales person, loan officers, and customer service are very professionals and answer to all our questions.

The process was very stressful. No one would answer even when deadlines were coming up. It was constant pressure to sign contracts. Felt forceful. We almost didn’t go through with purchase. The house is nice but cheaply made with lots of issues. Overall a 3/5 recommendation. Still working out issues after 2 months. Overall I am happy to be in a house but the process was a 0-1 star to obtain this house.

This purchase was the worst, and I'm a real estate broker so I should have known better. I sold my home and purchased this to downsize into. Under contract first on the CH townhouse and then sold my house. I paid my buyers to close a little earlier to coincide with the promised date from Lennar. Got two pods and put all of my stuff in storage to be delivered to the townhome after closing. Forwarded my mail. Then I got notice that Lennar was going to be delayed delivering the home. This notice came only a few days before schedule closing and closing was confirmed previously before I did all of the moving related things. The home actually seemed far enough along to make closing, so I don't know exactly what was going on behind the scenes. Anyway... that was the end of February. Closed about a month later. I can see mailboxes out my back door... but one of those is not mine. The boxes for my street are far away and not installed at time of closing... not installed a month later either, finally installed but not accessible for the post office. So, I've been without mail since the originally scheduled closing in February! Not a priority at all for Lennar. Honestly, I don't think a builder should be able to get a CO without mail service. Then, there's the floor plan... not very well thought out. Master closet is smaller than my car and has a huge door that makes it impossible to use one of the three sides of hanging space. I don't think there's much more than 7' total of hanging space in the master closet. Crazy! Anyway... I didn't even unpack all of my boxes. I'm going to rent this because I paid too much and can't get my money back right now. Kicking my self for this decision. ... More

Homeowners have been waiting 2 years for a pool. We can’t rent out or enjoy our vacation home without a pool. Prompt response to fix issues. We are happy with our unit and appearance of community.
