Lennar Reviews

Over all my experience with Lennar was not so good as I expected. Everyone wants to buy a house at least in so good condition as seen visiting demo house. But unfortunatelly Lennar has a lot space for improvement... Twice was changed the closing date...it costs me, of course. I was shocked for the amount of undone jobs and broken materials, building materials were laying all around house, unclean pool, unpainted walls, unfinished frontyard etc. during New Home Orientation. Obviosly the closing should be held at least 2 weeks later to let the builder finish my house completely, but the pressure on closing by the end of the month did not let enough time for total completion... The list for undone and unfinished jobs was really long, and - after one and a half month after closing, all of them are still not completed...This deal with Lennar costs me an extra money and I still can't start a rental business because of Lennar's delays. I am really disappointed on the manner how Lennar doing their bussiness. ... More

The purchase process was overall smooth. But there were a lot of issues in the house that had to be resolved. Considering that the last walkthrough was a day before our move-in day, we decided to ignore many marked touch-ups that we had requested and yet were still not fixed. Upon move-in though, we started to face many more bugging issues, such as a randomly opening garage door due to faulty switch circuit, smart frontdoor lock that was failing to pair due to faulty installation, broken patio screen upon installation, broken parts all over the place, pest infections that were in place from day one, ... Over time, the contractors have been in and out and have been able to resolve most of the issues. But considering the headaches of move-in, it is too much to handle so many construction failures at the same time. ... More

I have had problems with the landscaper and have absolutely no help getting the problem resolved! I had an agreement with Debbie from Double H as of 8/25 to install the rest of my sod for $525 when they finally got around to installing my sod that came with the home, which was already 3 weeks late. I emailed her on 9/9 to find out when the install was and she doesn’t reply until 9/12 at 8:26am and says they are installing that day but they are no longer installing for homeowners. Then she tried to use some excuse that it had to be paid 3 days in advance, which if I was told when it was going to be installed I would have been able to pay it in advance. I requested help from Lennar since it was their landscaper that went back on their word, but got nowhere and Debbie at Double H just kept hanging up on me. I feel very let down by Lennar knowing they could have done more. And I would definitely not recommend Double H Landscaping to anyone! I believe she went back on her word because I didn’t use them for my sprinkler system which they were $1000 more than who I got it from and they proceeded to break 4 sprinkler heads while installing my sod that they did put down!! Very poor customer service!! ... More

The issues I saw during my walk through have not been address for the past 9 weeks. The Condo was dirty when we got here 2 weeks after our closing. Getting help through the Lennar warranty department now.

Houses were slapped together quickly. New home had sloppy workmanship, garbage and extra materials were left in the home, and a light was literally hanging out of the ceiling by a wire, upon moving in. Disappointing for the price paid for the home. The closing date was pushed back day by day, which made hiring movers, a nightmare. It was pushed back over a week with little to no information of why. The home is beautifully designed but the process and craftmanship need improvement.

Sales representative Mary Ann is the very rude and not responsive to address the question and refuse to meet in person despite repeated attempts. Home orientation session is rushed and don’t cover everything but expect the DocuSign be signed which makes it one way and not two way. Overall, Lennar do not have customer empathy as a service and not a satisfactory feeling. They are not trust worthy when reported the damage on delivery and don’t practice the code uniformly. I will not buy a home with Lennar next time

Would not recommend Lennar unless no other options. Too big business and corporate pushiness.

The material used to build these homes are of the cheapest.

Not a great experience for a 1st time home buyer. Bad communication, there was never an answer on time, still having issues and there not being addressed or taking care of, was not provided the important information.

Felt like we were lied to during the entire build process.

The home buying process with Lennar was highly disappointing. Our brand new home looked like it had already been lived in— dings in the walls, imperfections in the paint, torn up baseboards, paint splatters on our upgraded laminate flooring, and carpet, as well as a dirty home that was NOT cleaned after construction before move-in. Both the front and back doors are difficult to close and take a bit of force, while lifting up on the door to get them to close properly. There was no pride in workmanship to be found in our home but rather lots of cut corners. We were not informed upon moving in how to go about getting the gate code or even which post office we were zoned for. We were later informed that this information was supposed to be given to us at closing but it was overlooked. As a military family, we had to put blind faith in this process as we were out of state. We trusted our realtor to guide us in the right direction, but even she was highly disappointed with the quality of our home and interactions with Lennar. Overall, my family has been highly disappointed with the quality of our home, especially for the price we paid, and sadly would not recommend Lennar to anyone we know. After speaking to several of our neighbors, it is evident that we have all had the same issues and that we were not the only ones with this experience, despite being made to feel that way by a couple of Lennar employees. The only positive has been that our interactions with most Lennar employees have been pleasant with only a few that were less than desirable. ... More

Quality was bad. It was not unto Lennar standard. I will never buy again from Lennar.

My interest in Mar 2022 was at 3.75 but because of the three month delay (delayed twice Mar and again May) my interest rate went up to 5.75. Yep still angry

Very unhappy with the overall experience. Once the home was sold to me I had to call various people to get any little information that I needed but everybody has been Very unresponsive. There are things under warranty like my garage door and the ring doorbell for which we do not have the code and I have tried calling multiple times but no response. The light bulbs were fused and now I will need to spend money to get them replaced. I have also sent a request through the Lennar website but no response whatsoever. Also the delay in delivering the house has been so long over 7 months that it was next to impossible to find a renter and took 2 months. I’m just not happy with this experience and will in all probability not buy my next property from Lennar or recommend it to my friends. No concessions were given at all and I am losing money even after renting it out. ... More

We were rushed to close and they were not ready they could’ve taken another couple weeks and gotten things situated. After I came back from the settlement table I came back to a house that had no front door they still cannot fix a problem with with the door that they had so they took the entire front door off. There follow up on a bunch of things is really really bad

You get what you pay for. This pretty much sums it up. They do have a pretty decent and friendly after sales staff that mops up the Problems caused during construction. Don’t expect a quality build.

Expect to be frustrated going through the process. Lennar mad us close on our house before it was ready - the finance people must run the show. They somehow got the CO but our AC didn't work, we had missing drawers, a vent cover, the pool didn't work, missing tile, a warped wall, and more. I asked them to redo many areas of trim and the redo was worse than the original. The subs are not really skilled craftsmen so expect a lot of uneven, misaligned, or warped areas. They do respond to warranty request if you are willing to put a lot of work into submitting, tracking, scheduling, and talking to them and their subs. We are two months in and still waiting for lights on garage, the pool heater to get turned on, trim work to get finished, electrical items to get corrected. The construction manager is a nice guy but he doesn't wright anything down or follow up. So the subs seem to ignore him knowing he probably will not remember or follow up. ... More

The workmanship in the entryway of the front door was poor. The front door wouldn’t open all the way and I had to advocate myself to get it addressed. The first attempt at resolving the issue was sloppy. Then the construction manager stopped replying to my messages. I then had to find another Lennar representative who would help me. Hopefully the warranty manager that I am working with now will resolve the issue but I currently have a front door that doesn’t open all the way.

We unfortunately have had on-going issues such as a main shower water leak and a secondary bathroom exhaust fan leak that have yet to fixed - almost two months now since we moved in! We will not shower in the main bathroom because of the large amount of water that will leak onto the floor after showering. All together we have had about 15 service requests, many of which have been fixed. However, some have not been to date. The quality of work/attention to detail is not apparent in many parts of our house. In fact, our front porch had to be resurfaced due to staining throughout the whole porch. We are hopeful that all issues will be resolved in a timely manner. We do enjoy using the beautiful pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, etc. And we have met many nice neighbors. Lastly, Alex and Victor are pleasant to work with and have been extremely helpful. ... More

Tape and bed seams visible throughout house, front column bricks crooked, light fixtures fell out of ceiling, fence gate won't open or close

Subcontractors: the attention to detail is lacking. No home will ever be perfect but you can tell when a subcontractor cares about the quality of work they complete. These subcontractors left carpet being lifted up in corners, paint on the baseboards, more paint needed on the walls, and the sod is absolutely ridiculous. There are seperations between sod spots the size of my foot. Lennar- If Lennar truly cares about the communities they are building they will have the common grounds sodded and the subcontractors pick up their messes. I continuously pick up trash in my back yard, had gravel sitting in my newly laid sod (which I laid myself) for the last week. Project Managers and Community Managers- They are all great, but its clear they are stretched thin. Lots of potential but I have been let down with the 25-30 items existing on my 30 day walk through. This is also after paying for a buyers expensed home inspection. ... More

Oversold knowing they didn't have supplies, months overdue, and morgage company not in the best interest for the consumer. Overall D- in the experience with lennar, I would not recommend a Lennar home.

my home buying experience was not pleasant. I felt like I was a number, I was told more than once, if you don't want it, there are others that do...way to make one feel welcome. Workmanship was an issue, ongoing, especially dry wall. I had to fight every step of the way to get things done somewhat correctly...no specialty items, just how it should have been done to begin with. If it had not been for BILLY, I would have walked away. He was the only person that was honest and listened to what I had to say. I understand it is a seller's market but there is no pride in workmanship. YOU MUST FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, and you should not have to. ... More

The sells guy was awesome, still, the house was late, the rate was changed even if we had lock it, and the landscape job of the house is terrible.

There were several challenges from the very beginning and it took 2 years for Lennar to deliver our home. I can understand that there was a county approval delay and supply chain issues but we didn't have enough transparency through out the process and were left hanging. There were items like soft close toilets mentioned in the data sheet but was not provided and when asked they said they had the right to change and it was a misprint. We got a connected home which is a nice feature although it was in the print, but were told was not available but we ended up getting it. Our neighbors got to select EV charger and we were denied that option. Overall the model of the home is beautiful, but the workman ship and the whole process was very inconsistent and sub standard to say the least. I have bought home before from Toll brothers, Shea and Ryland and the experience with Lennar was my worst out of all. The sales and construction staff tried to do their best but they were just messengers. Lennar didn't focus on building a community at all - there are side walks that do not join - so if you walk in the neighborhood you have to jump in to a ditch before you can get back to the side walk of the perpendicular road, there is not one play area for the kids. I have seen smaller communities built better. ... More
