Lennar Reviews

Don't like the experience in the warranty agents. They are not responsive.

Bad Experience with Lennar when it came to building materials, options, and service areas.

People changed left and right. Buck was passed throughout process. Was told these were single family homes in reality there is a shared driveway and it’s a condo. Shoddy work that builder refuses to fix.

We had a hard closing date that Lennar would not budge on even though the house wasn't move in ready. It's been 2 months since closing and our issues have not been resolved yet. The construction manager had made promises that he couldn't deliver on. Not a good look for a national builder like Lennar.

Kevin is horrible. Lennar mortgage ran my social security number without my consent. I had told Kevin that I had my one lender but he would not listen. I felt like he took advantage of me because I was a single mom doing this on my own.

Work order after work order right after moving in

Dan the salesman was great and worked well with us. The problems seem to be with corporate and their response to our concerns. We purchased the home while we were living out of state and across the country so we were not able to observe the progress on our home being built. However, there were certain benchmarks in the building process that Lennar wanted us to be there for. The first was the pre-drywall inspection/ orientation. Since we were coming from across country we asked that we would get three weeks notice. We were assured it would be ready by the date indicated. We flew out for the inspection only to be told our house wasn't ready and that we would do a walk through of the same model at a different address. Our home wasn't ready for the walkthrough for another month. Then it came time for the final home orientation and walkthrough. Due to the fact that we were coming from across country and the airfares were considerably less a week later we asked if they could put it off a week. Corporate would not grant our request and insisted that we be there on their specific dates and close on their time frame. It was clear when we arrived that the home was not even close to being closed. The walkthrough was a disappointment and a disaster. The finishing work was horrible and still rough, the windows were all different types, the miniblinds were not all installed, it had the wrong front door, and there was a myriad of other problems too numerous to list. It was obvious it was a rush job and corporate just wanted the house " off the books". We found that the house was not even close to closing on and we refused to close on it until most of the items were fixed. We ended up closing on the house about a month later. Lennar was not very sympathetic to the trouble and inconvenience they caused us for two cross country trips that they requested we attend but were useless because they weren't on schedule. In all fairness they did pay the airfares for our final trip to close on the house, but they didn't pay any expenses or compensation. Since taking possession of our house, I noticed that the door to the downstairs was put in backwards. It will need to be completely removed and reinstalled. Overall, I feel it was a rush job and there was a lack of attention to detail. Lennar comes across as taking pride in their customer service and quality of workmanship. With the exception of a few individuals, I found neither of these in the purchase of this home. ... More

Our sales representative and construction manager were very nice however you could tell there was too much on their plate. I constantly had to call to get updates. There was very little proactive updates sent to me. Quality of craftsmanship is embarrassing. Our new house orientation was a joke. We took 3 hours marking mistakes instead of going through how to manage our house.

Cutting too many corners, bathroom ceiling downlights that replace a $40 fixture with a $5 fixture but make it virtually impossible for the homeowner to come back and add proper lights. Elimination of any kitchen/breakfast lights and dining room light that are of really poor quality---in a half million dollar plus house. Then there are things like the carpet and padding which is of such poor quality that it has to be replaced in a couple of year, it is the lowest of the low end--wall paint where you can see the brush strokes because the painters watered it down so much to meet their budget allocation for the job which means you really just get a primer coat of all one color, ceiling and walls. There are lots of other things too but this is a good start. Of course you can get by with these things now because of home shortages but it is never right to take that approach with customers or sub contractors. Profits over people usually does not end well for long term competitors. ... More

The is no follow up after a job has been addressed to see if the job was completed and done correctly.

If you want to purchase a brand new house with little attention to detail/quality of workmanship, this is the place for you!

Late handover Too many changes to the construction manager team Construction managers being unresponsive to the feedback . End Handover of the house being incomplete.

Initial meeting with sales rep was great. Told about 6 months to build. When signing purchase agreement, $10,000 was added to cost of lot and a tentative closing date of 8 months out. Although they really didn’t give a reason, I sensed they didn’t want to lock in a lower price knowing that it would take longer to build during supply chain shortage and labor issues. Actual closing date was backed up twice and ended up being 9 months and 2 weeks after singing purchase agreement. Front line staff were always cordial and empathetic but it was obvious there was much going on behind the scenes that was well beyond their control. Lennar likes to promote EI (Everything’s Included) as far as all of the latest technology is concerned. I’d agree that there are many items that can be linked and controlled using a mobile phone. However, when you call Customer Care for assistance, you are told that you have to install internet smart home hubs on your own and that you can watch videos on the Lennar web site for instructions on how to connect all the technology devices to your phone. A flat out, no, is what you can expect to hear If you request a representative to come to your home. Everything’s Included except the help to connect any of the EI devices. ... More

Don't go with Lennar. They have some great people working there, but the company is run poorly. Someone at the top needs to be fired.

Homes are built with little to no pride of workmanship, just slap the homes up as fast as possible and any mistakes are overlooked or covered up with putty and paint.

The insulation around the house is terrible, we can hear everything from the outside. Construction process was very poorly inspected. Materials used are not the best quality as promise. I'm not confident that I bought a house that will last for a very long time.

Home quality is in par but the overall process was just a nightmare. There is a lack of coordination between departments and as a seller i had to constantly follow up on the process. Mortgage was also a pain to deal with. Every person needed hand holding to get me to close. It maybe because we were one of the first few movers in the community but i hope they fix the process.

Frequently asked your sakes consultant and/or construction manager to walk you through the home, so you can address poor workmanship immediately!

My overall experience is fair.just had some issues regarding the date of delivery because the builder insisted on closing date even the home was not ready for leaving in it. Like painting,bathroom shower doors were not installed yet.

We were made several promises only to receive crafty excuses, repeatedly. Quality is lacking in so many aspects of this construction it's difficult to name them all. Attention to detail is minimal from Lennar subconstractors. Simply put, the Lennar Team lacks integrity.

Although we appreciate that Lennar pushed to meet our established closing date, it was at the expense of the quality and completion of certain items. We are now 4-5 months post closing and still have items unfinished. Our construction manager essentially abandoned us and it's been extremely difficult getting things fixed via the warranty group. We love the house but this did not go the way it should have.

They will take a long time to replace items on the list when you closed. No ETA on when it will get done. Move in since the end of Nov 2021 and had issue with refrigerator which is still not working since day one. They will not replace and will tell you to deal directly with the manufacture (Frigidaire) Please don’t buy anything with Frigidaire they’re horrible to deal with, and will not replace anything even though it’s brand new. I would not recommend buying with Lennar. No follow up to resolve the issue and the details are so so…

Quite a few things went wrong since the closing. We did not receive the gate RFID stickers so we were not allowed into our community, even though the HOA pdfs we received 4 hours after the closing (around 10PM) stated we should've received gate stickers to access our home, so our move was delayed. We were also missing 1 garage remote (the package mentioned 2, we got 1), but around 2 months later we finally received the missing remote. There were 6 holes in the drywall: 2 in the staircase, and 4 in the ceiling. When installing ceiling fans, I found out some of the industrial screws holding the switches to the electrical box were completely stripped, and drywall screws were used right next to it. Drywall screws rust easily, not appropriate for electrical work, and it's not up to code. Some of the screws in the door latches upstairs are completely crooked and stripped, and 1 door in the master bathroom has visible damage and it was just painted over. There are gaps in the double doors that let in/out air and bugs. There are also gaps in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and visible staples that need to be covered, painted over. These are lots of problems for a brand new ~$500k home. The salesperson, Irma Almodovar was very nice though. I think she was one of the few upsides from this whole transaction. ... More

Horrible buying experience, a nightmare dealing with the loan side. Paperwork a mess, not responsive, when responsive being combative.

Home is brand new and has issues that have not been fixed. Minor issues but still haven't been fixed.
