Lennar Reviews

Sub work was poor for painting and finishing. Our saving grace was Alan. He cleaned up the issues for us. Lennar title was difficult to work with. Would go with a back on the loan.

Great house terrible customer service. Tammy wouldn't talk to us regarding our closing cost. Dishwasher had to be replaced, the fridge hasn't worked for a month and the microwave had to have the fan replaced. I battle geese leaving waste on my driveway and yard. This is a huge health hazard. Like I said love the house but now have to live in conditions that I didn't ask for and not getting help with. There were 75 geese that were counted in my yard over the last weekend. Please help me enjoy my new house. My neighbor has an infant that she has to stroll through ALOT of droppings just to take her child for a walk. ... More

Buying a house in this market is tough. We were thrilled to get the house and at the price we did. However, the loan process was pulling teeth to get anyone to respond. I sat at closing for 5 hours because they messed up paperwork and were not prepared. Our house is beautiful but they definitely cut corners on thing. We have random cement piles they tried covering up in the backyard, cabinet doors were put on the wrong direction. Cabinet under the kitchen sink completely fell off. The home was not cleaned as stated prior to move in and there is paint marks on our carpet. Overall we are happy to have a home but definitely will not buy Lennar again. ... More

A lot of issues with doors, dead grasses, and sale lady never answer or reply email.

If possible monitor your home being built from start to finish. Look closely at your walk through - there are lots of discrepancies to pick out as the contractors used during the home build are not attentive to detail.

Bought a brand new home. A/C already needed fixed. Took 2 weeks to get done and the temperature outside was in the 90s. Also, two months in, we STILL don’t have access to a mail box. Two outlets have stopped working in the kitchen. Solar panels have still not been activated when they said they should be. Overall, disappointed in my overall experience of buying a half a million dollar home.

Agent was not very good about getting back to my realtor on the purchase of the home. Had to contact her more than once. Even had to go to a supervisor to get updates. Issues with electrical after I moved in. But can say very prompt on coming to fix.

I literally got approved 1 hour before scheduled closing, A totally horrific experience and ridiculous as i had been approved for double the amount 4 months earlier

Picking the house and putting the down payment was easy and getting financing wasn't hard for me. Then I was met with an extreme escrow office that accused me of being an investor because I have multiple houses. So, I canceled contract, I thought about it for a day and the house was a good deal, so I went back and did everything all over again, just to be told no by the same escrow officer. I got another lender and closed within 30 days without issue. I took me almost 3 months to buy this house all because the assumption of me being something I am not.

We built a Spencer in 2022. Was disappointed that there weren't more options for a seniors living in next gen suite. After moving in, we had several issues. The first 8 weeks we had contractors in fixing something. Thankfully the warranty request process is easy and Lennar responds quickly. Overall really disappointed with tge overall craftsmanship of a nearly $500k home. I would not recommend building with Lennar.

Not all staff are qualified for customer service, or dealing with problems. Since they did not solve the problem at the moment. They take a long time to respond

Quality and workmanship also sub par.

Everything was great until my close date was pushed back 3 times. I understand building materials have been scarce in the past 2 years so that wasn’t the main issue but the start. When I did the final walk through, the agent who did it was respectful but I believe deceitful as well. The front area of the home did not have power until she said “oh the breaker is off” when she flipped jt on everything worked for about 10 minutes. The electrician was there working on the breaker and even thought it was odd that the laundry breaker kept flipping. I submitted a warranty request where it took almost two weeks to have someone come out. Once that was fixed I submitted a warranty request for my front door (was an issue with the walk through but was told it would be fixed as well). The front door didn’t latch once closed. The wind, the two year old or the pull of one finger could open my front door. To lock it the door had to be held shut and locked (still wouldn’t latch). In the first month of owning this home I have submitted three warranty requests and about to submit a fourth for my bedroom fan/light fixture. My neighbors AC unit went out two days ago and they bought their home a week before me (early December ) . Am I next ? All in all I love the home , the lot but there are definitely some things that should have been done better (large scratches and cracks in my floor that weren’t there the morning of my closing when I left and people had to come in to finish getting the home done). Will I buy another home from Lennar? Most likely not. They have great looking home and people working for them but cutting corners when it’s someone’s home is not acceptable. I’m sure this review may get thrown in the trash or overlooked how all bad or non glorified reviews of companies are but to whoever is reading this, make the right decision and ask the right questions. Thank you ... More

My experience has not been the best from the beginning. The telephone tree kind of communication with the site manager and sales person in not getting the message right. I can go into details about how hard it was to talk to Chandra. Then the mortgage officer rarely listen to us and the constant missed opportunities of communicating on what was needed and not needed. The back and forward was confusing. Then I lost my VA opportunity in buying this home. That was just the beginning part of my his. Please call to find out more

This is a difficult review to write. While I love my home and am happy to finally be in it and somewhat settled, the process and experience getting here was very disappointing. The close date was moved multiple times. Often Lennar would blame outside sources but most times it was due to poor project management. The delays also cost me more money in the interest rate and escrow. Both my realtor and mortgage lender had to make several calls to get answers. Once I was moved in there were some minor things that I wished had been handled better. The first was the lack of cleanliness. The floors downstairs were covered in layers of red clay. Two months later I’m still trying to get it all up. The other was just the lack of attention to detail in some of the workmanship. There is more but for the moment I leave with the above. ... More

Poor plumbing installation with 2 showers leaking on Day 1. Windows on first floor breaking after 1 month, cause uncertain. Bad experience with blinds/shutter installation from the Design Center vendor.

We have had solar not working and it’s been 6weeks. Nothing has been done from Lennar to help us with this. It’s been a frustrating experience

Our sales person, Dylan was fantastic. We liked him and he was (and still is) very responsive to any questions or concerns. If I were rating just him alone I would say we had a very good experience. Lennar is a large builder and by all accounts should have their building process down now like a well oiled machine. They are, however, building these homes way too fast without a real attention to detail. Also, when issues are noted they are not addressing them while the work is being completed. It appears that they are just letting the issues slide in hopes that the new homeowner will not hold them accountable. Prior to moving in we had a walkthrough that should have only taken about an hour and at 3 1/2 hours I had to rush because of a work meeting. This was also the 2nd walk through of this home, so many of the issues we say were from the prior buyer that had not yet been addressed. They completed most of the repairs, but not all before our closing, and they were not completed with any quality. Instead they just threw some half assed workmanship and called it good. When we moved in you notice just little things that when added all together give you a negative feeling about their building practices. This is obviously all dependent on the Construction Managers and how they hold the subs accountable for the poor workmanship that they are seeing. When I talked with the Construction Manager about a problem we were having with our home I outlined the process that should have been followed to address and issue and his response was "that's not going to happen that way", to which I responded well it should. This is the single reason for the rating I have given. For the money you spend you should not be having any of the issues that we see in our home and many of the other homes around us. Overall I have had very positive interactions with the warranty people, Jesse and Arica. However, I have had way too many interactions already with them as our home was finished in June of 2022. Overall, I would give them a good rating if it was just dependent on them. Not sure that we would buy another home from Lennar without first seeing if they have fixed the issues with poor workmanship. We love the floor plan and the neighborhood. I just hope this home is still standing in 25 years. ... More

One do not use lennar mortgage they are terrible!!!! I know they say you'll save money that way, but your sanity will pay for it!!! The overall build wasn't bad, but their tile contractor did a terrible job in the master shower. You can't even drive a uhaul no matter the size onto the driveway because the concrete is so thin!! They didn't put a man door in the garage and to close off the garage even more they put the big ol tankless hot water heater on the inside!! Terrible idea!! This is the last lennar home I will buy ever!!!

Honestly it was one of the most horrible experiences ever done. The buying process was very unprofessional since they keep on changing the closing day and while me and my family already left the place we used to live at. I’m a disabled Veteran so I thought I will be a little easier for me to move into my new house but this was just a nightmare. The house was not even clean, some things were damaged and the response from the inspector is just not working for me so I ended up doing the cleaning and fixing with my wife for over two weeks. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar to any of my fellow Veterans at all. ... More

I would rather say nothing

I would NOT recommend Lennar's mortgage. I was unable to use Lennar's mortgage company due to their inexperience and I lost out on all incentives in addition I never received all the information at closing regarding who to contact, association information ect... The tile in my master bath had to be redone multiple times. Holly was amazing she was the bright spot in this experience without her I would have walked away from this home purchase.

Quality of workmanship extremely poor and problems since the day we moved into our new home. So far Lennar has been responsive in addressing these issues.

We have had multiple issues with this house - too many for the price. Customer service is always quick to respond, but getting quality work is another story. The most on-going issue...I still have not been able to get another router to improve my internet (we've been in the house almost 2 months). They supplied us with 1 router that is good for 2000 square feet - our home is almost 3,200. This is our 3rd new house and we will never purchase a home from Lennar again.

Too much hidden information that you must frantically discover with no help. Attempts at contacting help always fail with no assistance. Most assistance comes from neighbors.
