Lennar Reviews

La experiencia con la propiedad como tal es buena pero en lo que concierne al cierre es desastroza

The grass seed they put in has sooo many weeds. Im not sure why, but the grass in the back coming up is mostly weeds, not grass. Lennar gets things done quickly, but with that comes some sacrifices. One of the vents wasn't even cut correctly, so the grate didnt even fit in the hole. They just left it on top and my father in law had to fix it. Theres also paint marks from the black door on the white interior paint, there's caulk on the sliding back door, etc.

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.

I was told that I didn’t need a realtor and that the process would be easy. But has a first time home buyer, there were things that was not explain to me. Such as, when first looking at homes, I was shown 3 different floor plans. Only one floor plan was explained on what came with the home “the package”. When shown the next two home nothin was explained, so I assumed all homes came with blinds, full sod, and irrigation. Additionally, my home concierge was hard to get a hold to and didn’t respond at times with my questions. Furthermore, my loan officer was asked by me to go over fees and the closing disclosure and did not. For a first time home buyer, this was not an easy process and was not pleasant due to the employees lack of care or responsiveness. ... More

The overall buying process was truly terrible. The sales representative didn’t seem confident in our ability to get approved. We spoke with 2 different loan officers who provided us with different information. When we ran into miscommunication issues about our initial approval, our sales representative was ready to cancel our contact as if she didn’t want to deal with us. We had to escalate our issues to management for issues with sales team and loan team. We were asked to provide additional funds for closing which was told hours before. If we didn’t really want this home, we probably would’ve backed out and forfeited our deposit simply due to lack of communication from staff. We did not appreciate receiving time sensitive information at 4pm or after because they do close at 5pm and become unresponsive. Our inspections process was smooth. The building team/inspection team were the most helpful individuals we encountered through this process. The construction manager for our development was very attentive and made sure all of our requests were satisfied. We are young; however, we come from a finance and building background and we are aware of what’s right and wrong. If able, I feel like Lennar would’ve tried to get over on us. ... More

This is the strangest homebuying experience I’ve ever had. Admittedly, I’ve never purchased a brand new home before, but I’ve never had so much miscommunication/misrepresentation(?) in a business deal before. While every person that I have worked with at Lennar has been nice and (seemingly) helpful, I constantly got incorrect information and made decisions based on that incorrect information. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing - as they say. Particularly problematic were the people in the mortgage department but the issue is across-the-board. I don’t plan on ever moving and really love where I’m at but if for some reason I had to purchase another new home, I would never buy from Lennar again. ... More

Overall, Lennar builds a decent house. However, as I’ve now learned, local workers impact the quality of the final build and buying experience a great deal. My first Lennar home was immaculate at closing. This new one was not complete, had a long list of things to finish or redo, and very dirty. Since closing Lennar has made some effort, albeit very disjointed and longer than it should be, to take of the issues. There were a number of problems in the buying process that led to delays in closing. In the three times this occurred, we were not informed until the very last minute and without sufficient transparency by sales and construction. The “everything’s included” slogan still holds true but the quality of what you get is way less than my first home. Appliances are the cheapest GE models vs the higher end models I had previously. Lennar’s financing group, on the other hand, was very responsive and prompt. In the end, we have made the new house home, but it requires a lot more personal effort than it should have. I may have had expectations set by my first experience that could not be met by the second, but I think they can and should do better by their buyers. ... More

Going through Lennar for the mortgage got a better rate, but their people have no common sense. Totally aggravating. Closing was ok. Terrible follow up on punch list items. No call backs. Been in for over a month and they have disappeared, but still building across the street. I would not buy from them again.
