Lennar Reviews

Derrick was very helpful and made sure we was taken care of

Hard to contact responsible party.

The construction side was great, they were attentive, prompt, fixed any issues right away, communicated well. The mortgage side was awful. They messed numbers up three times, over a month later told us we weren’t qualified to begin with, all because they never factored in 3/4 of our income from the very start. Too many people to talk to, no one knows what’s going on. Concerning payoffs is a joke. We paid down 90% of what we owed, provided more than enough proof that we did so, then argued that we had to pay Lennar the full amount still, we did. Lennar told us they’d cut us a check for the full amount we owed then other companies would pay us back the difference. That’s not what happened which led to more confusion. Horrible experience on the mortgage side. Never again will we buy Lennar nor recommend the company based on that. You’d get more stars if it was even slightly better, but it wasn’t. It cost us a few thousand more because we had to keep renting because no one could get their act together and figure simple things out that were on the most basic level of their job description. ...

Loan officer Craig was horrible and I almost lost the Lennar home based on all the mistakes he was making. Sam and Jennifer were great

My main point of issue with Lennar was their response times to emails, calls or texts. This especially goes to Tracy their salesperson, Julie in Finance and Lennar Title. Many errors on paperwork that took forever to fix. Once 5pm arrived, Tracy was nowhere to be found and when I finally moved in, no call, text or email to congratulate me from Tracy our salesperson. Every time I dealt with her, it was a job, albeit there were times she was great. Overall, Lennar was unorganized and left me out to dry quite often. I want to point out that Carlos in QA was a bright spot. He was very effective and his response times were superb. ... More

Very frustrating with the process and arduous data requirements. Although the staff was helpful they seem to be hindered by rules that are arbitrary and rigid. In the past 15 years we have purchased several properties and with a credit ratings above 850 we had to do the preponderance of work where in other loan companies we do very little of that.

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

There were just too many missing accessories, unfinished items, broken tiles. And no opportunity to give input into appliances or needed vents, such as in the garage.

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.

i really dont have a good experience during the entire process. unprofessionalism is there. the team is not helpful and giving so much stress and worriedness.

All-in all i think I got good value.. the quality seems decent for the price though its only been a few months I have had no issues. The only upsetting part of the transaction was that it was made clear my closing date was set in stone and could not be changed (i asked to move it up even 3 days and was ignored). On the day of closing it seemed nobody knew i was closing. I reached out to my realtor a few days prior as i'd heard nothing and she didnt respond. I sent a frustrated email the day before closing because I hadn't heard a thing and finally got a response that was quick and impersonal - check your welcome email basically. The day of closing I asked Lennar who was doing my walkthrough and it seemed they forgot again I was supposed to walk through the home to confirm all the repairs had been made before I signed papers. Someone rushed over 1 hour before i signed and did a very quick rushed tour of the house. I noticed other neighbors had signs hanging on their garage with their names saying welcome to the neighborhood. I got nothing. In fact a few days later my sales person drove by and parked just outside my driveway and wouldnt even look at me when I attempted to wave or say hi. Very rude honestly.. I didnt feel very good about the whole process after I had been forgotten the day of closing and it was Lennar that insisted I close on that day without any alterations. I think if I didnt start sending a ton of emails and calls the day before I never would have closed. The worst part is! i found out the day before closing my street didnt have internet and there was no timeframe for when we would. It took over a month after closing to get internet. Who in this day and age can survive with no internet in their home? And to not even mention this untli day before closing!! ... More

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

There has been some random issues we’ve had to call in for warranty. Lennar is responsive, however each item has taken several days to get attention. Everything is at least one day for a telephone call, then a day or two to have someone come out. By the time they come out issues are usually fixed quickly. Aiden is very responsive and gave me his cell phone number and I’ve reached out with questions and gotten responses fairly quickly. I rated quality low due to my home specs was go be built with wood on the stairs and it wasn’t. Some various items was missed on building the home. We found the paint is not a great selection and anything that touches the walls leaves a mark. I hate that we already sang/need to repair with at least a satin finish to have it better quality. Electrical switches in many of the spots with several switches (to me) doesn’t make sense that the closest area is the further switch on the panels. Just small details that could be much better and wouldn’t have taken much efforts and no to minimal costs to please home owners a lot more. Overall we’re happy with our home this is just an honest feedback of items Lennar could improve on future homes. ... More

My experience with Lennar was mixed. I asked about purchasing a five-bedroom home at the same price as a four-bedroom with a home office, but was told the incentives would only apply to the four-bedroom option. The home was already pre-selected, so I didn’t have the opportunity to choose finishes or customize features. I also requested doors for the office space but was told that couldn’t be accommodated. Overall, I would give the experience a rating of two stars.

The main factor contributing to this low rating is all the incorrect information we were fed along the way by the new home consultant/agent. The most egregious being that we were told they would NOT be building any neighboring houses to one side of us. The agent even chuckled when I asked if we would have a neighbor on that side of our house because there was a big hillside appearing unsuitable to build a home on. I asked this question multiple times during the initial visit. This home had a $10k site/lot markup and we assumed it was due to the perk of having no neighbors on one side. After our offer being accepted, months later we later went for a walkthrough and saw they had brought in massive amounts of dirt to level and build another track of houses neighboring us where the steep hillside was previously. Not only that but they built the hill up so much that the houses will be looking down into our yard. We also asked repeatedly about the abundance of bees during our site visits and were assured they were not a continual problem and that they just pass through. This was not remotely true as we came to find out there is a large bee farm neighboring the development. I have a hard time believing this was news to the Lennar employees. At an early site visit I noticed how incredibly rocky, compacted, and uneven the soil was around the house and asked if they lay down decent dirt and level it prior to laying the sod and of course the NHC assured me their lawns turn out great and that they would just not lay it on the ground as is. This was also false and the sod has many dead spots that will not grow because of the giant rocks and compacted soil underneath. Extremely disappointed in the state of the lawn. I could continue stating these inaccuracies, but those are the big ones and you get the point… The positives were that the financing department (Lily) was great to work with and made up for the shortcomings of some of her colleagues. Also Lennar has done a good job of honoring warranty items after closing on the home. The overall quality of the home does not disappoint. ... More

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.

Long lengthy super stressful process would not recommend

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.

We had a very long drawn out purchasing experience through the loan application, both the FHA and Lennar’s conventional loan people. They were very impatient when they wanted information but otherwise slow in keeping us informed as to what was happening. They asked for information that was none of their business and eventually told me that if I did not give them the information that the loan would not be approved. This process took weeks. I went to a bank and got an approval with 4 days. After move in, I (a former builder) found that there were house framing studs missing in places where it was apparently inconvenient. ... More

From the start the buying process was terrible. It took up until closing to know if we were good to go for the loan from lennar mortgage. We were originally scheduled for a walk through the beginning of May. When we drove 4 hours for a 9am walk through, we were notified on site at the house that the walk through was moved. No one communicated this with us. The only formal documentation was sent 24 hours after our walk through. Do not trust the settlement contact to reach out to you. They will be unresponsive, and unprofessional. During our final home inspection walkthrough, there were numerous items we requested to ve fixed. Minor, but some still have not been addressed. The showers all leaked when we moved in, and has required someone to come out 4 different times. Come to find out, the showers were pulled out once already, without proper reinstallation. Ask for a copy of the house blue print as well. When trying to install blinds, we found out there's metal around the window, which made it so we are unable to properly install them. ... More

The process of buying the home was a mess.

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

The selling agent, lacked experience , Kept changes the deal. Negotiating with texting and should stuck with email so I have a track of any changes. Thanks to the manager Penny who was able to take over and close the deal.

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. ...
