Lennar Reviews

My loan officer was great, he was their every step of the way. After the sale John reached out and checked on me. Jessy was good during the walk thru but became unresponsive after the sale was final. I did not like the fact that the house I had a contract on was still been used for site tours. No walkway in the front of the house, you must walk in the grass rain or shine to get to your front door No gutters on the house bummer. The grass was installed in the winter you have more dirt than grass present day I have all weeds. I was given a water hose for irrigation. We are in 2025, and you did not offer a smart home package ? No walking path from garage to the house, inside garage unfinished. Closing was a really bad experience; construction was going on I could not hear the attorney I have to keep asking questions as he keep repeating himself. I love the house however I fell in love the first time I walked into the model, the stairwell and the big Island take the show. Ammie the sales professional did her job by getting me interested in the house welcoming me taking me on tours connecting me with John and then she was off to the next one. I was moving from and did not have a lot of time to house hunt, Lennar was the only company that hah inventory. Anyway, this feedback will not change anything I am sure it will just go to the junk mail anyway thank you all and good luck. ... More

Our overall experience with Lennar so far has been a mix of positives and disappointments. One standout positive has been the exceptional support and responsiveness of the seller agent, Steven—his helpful nature truly made a difference for me and my family. Unfortunately, our experience with the Homebuyer Concierge contact, Sara, has been quite the opposite. She was unresponsive, lacked clear communication, and did not provide the necessary support when we needed her assistance. Additionally, we've faced several issues with the home's quality and the post-sale service. The AC unit makes an unusually loud noise, but customer care dismissed our concerns without even conducting a proper inspection. The garage door is also not balanced correctly, but we were told that if we fix it now, we won’t be eligible for any further balancing services under the warranty period, which feels unreasonable. One of the AC thermostats wasn’t functioning, and when the technician arrived, he discovered that a key component required for the thermostats to operate independently hadn't been installed at all. He had to spend over three hours rectifying this issue—a clear indication that the initial quality checks were not done thoroughly. One of the primary reasons we opted for a new home was to avoid the typical issues often encountered in older homes. However, within just a month, the recurring problems and lack of proper attention from customer care have left us feeling like we’ve purchased a used home. Sadly, many of our concerns have been dismissed or downplayed by customer service, which has been quite frustrating. ... More

Unfortunately, my home buying process did not go as planned. As soon as you sign the purchase agreement with Lennar you become nothing to them. Questions were not answered, meetings were not scheduled and therefore missed, and items were different on the house compared to purchase agreement and photos shown. The pre-approval process with Lennar mortgage was seamless, but then as closing got closer communication took a turn. I emailed twice 2-3 weeks leading up to closing, they responded saying they’d be in contact the week of closing. 48 hours before they sent me the statement and wire instructions, but the numbers were wrong requiring them to re-do simple paperwork and they acted like it was my fault. So far the house seems to be worth the hassle, I hope it stays that way as I do like the home and area! ... More

We own a Lennar home in Las Vegas that is well built, with quality materials and great attention to detail. We have been so sad to see that what we expected here was not what we got. It appears that the company saved a few bucks on the bathtub, the carpet, the trim and countless details. I spent a lot of money to have the garage textured and painted... something I expected from Lennar since my Vegas house had that. We love the porcelain tub at our house there and hate the cheap fiberglass one we got here with structural cracks in it. The fit and finish is so cheap we will have to be replacing many items soon. When half of our electricity went out, including our refrigerator, on a Friday night, we were unable to reach anyone to help. Our "customer service" rep keeps his voicemail full so that I was unable to even leave a message. The "emergency line" referred me to a phone number that was only monitored Monday through Friday during the day. I had to call in an outside contractor to get the solar system reset and get the power back on the next day. This will be our last Lennar purchase and we will let everyone know what a horrible experience we have had. ... More

Thought we would give Lennar a second chance. Only good thing about it was our salesman Cody. We received the home on time but it was filthy. We complained on walk thru but nothing changed. We cleaned it ourselves. Workmanship is below par as well as quality of cabinets, appliances. Disappointing.

Like used car salesman, they fast talk you to look over and past their work. The cm had no integrity and did not stand by his word. The Sheetrock was poorly done throughout the entire house and even after a month of work still not right.

its not worth for price paid , it is 30% overpriced , flooring and doors also front porch all are bad quality , plats were dead immediate after closing the house , only best thing i can say is my sales man is very responsive and excellent person

it was the worst buying experience of any product I’ve ever bought in my entire life. The only good news is my salesman was perfect and very helpful. Also, the community and the neighbors are very friendly and the clubhouse is nice. Other than that it was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. They lie through their teeth over and over again. They do not back up their products and they don’t care about the health or welfare of any of their customers. The only reason you should buy here is because of the price. It is definitely lower than every place else and it’s probably because they have such a poor reputation about their customer service. I am extremely angry and frustrated at this company and if I could, I would walk out of here and get my money back, but my wife would be very upset because she loves it here so I am biting my tongue as much as I can. I have actually been injured because of a bad design refrigerator. They gave me I tore a bicep Muscle Pulling the refrigerator out away from the wall to get the ice tray out because that’s the only way you can get it out and they will not give me a new refrigerator over and under so I can get the ice bucket out without pulling refrigerator out that goes to show you how their customer care And they didn’t even say they were sorry that I have to have surgery on my bicep. What a pitiful laughable disgraceful group of people, Lennar is as a company. ... More

Buyer beware - false statements by salespeople, archaic, disorganized and unnecessarily time-intensive requirements that customers deal with way too many emails and multiple online platforms and excessive amounts of conversation with multiple employees in multiple departments, to get anything done. I suspect this is intentional, so that buyers just give up reading and writing emails and talking to way too many employees, and they give in to builder demands. Lots of..."didn't you see that in the fine print?" types of things. And zero accountability from management, which apparently won't even talk to customers, choosing to hide behind their underlings. I would never buy from this builder again. I wish I was aware of all the negative feedback and class action lawsuits against this builder before I acted on the purchase. ... More

Quality is definitely below what we were used to. Previous Lennar home you can see was built with higher standards. Floors squeak everywhere upstairs. Doors are thin as paper. Front door I can see through to the outside barely has weather strip. The wall moves when you pull on one of the sliding glass doors. Dry wall is barely finished. 2nd floor moves when kids run across it.

The home buying experience I had with Lennar was just horrible. It seems like all they care about was me closing as soon as possible. The workmanship for this 340,000 house is so horrible. I am still dealing with issues to this day. I have paint and texture all over my light fixtures, flooring issues, spray paint on my floor. The biggest thing that was so bad was the communication. I have spoken to managers , directors and rude consiglieri’s and it was as if the right had no idea what the left hand was doing. if I had know certain things like the HOA mandatory internet and other things I would NOT have purchased this home. I did believe Lennar to be a great home building company given they are one of the largest in the country, but now I am selling this home as soon as I can. My “ premium “ home is no more than an overpriced spacious poorly built track home. ... More

Thus far I have encountered many issues with construction failures in my new home. Issues such as crooked walls. Missing components. Central air and heating problems. Flooring issues with instalation flaws. No windows screens to save lennar money. Front yard still has installation failures, it appears as if they just went on to the next job and forgot about it. No personal follow up on new home. Last walk through was fast, sign here intial there. In 5min it was done. Never saw or heard from anyone again. I could go on but I won't you get the picture.

Lennar mortgage officer Tom was quite difficult to work with, After establishing this was my first property and needed various issues explained, at times the answers were borderline rude, left me feeling like an idiot for asking a question he was inferring I should know the answer. Was nice in general conversation but didn't feel the need to explain. I found issues with his work, initially I wanted 20% down. Later to find out that the numbers in his system were showing 18% down and added insurance. He didn't see the need to make corrections and re send the correct figures. I was away from home, out of state for over a month, where I left clear instructions that my real estate agent(family friend) will represent me in my absence. Not one call or email was returned to my real estate agent during that period. As it got to a point, I confronted Tom and said I will not deal directly with him anymore as I feel I am not getting the service/support I need as well as expressing my complete disappointment in the service provided. Lennar concierge Jody Ann was quite confusing at times with not replying to all in thread, omitting information in various emails, causing confusion between myself, my agent and other people in the email threads. I fought for a month before I received an answer about the Flood report survey, and after multiple emails asking for this documentation to acquire home owners insurance, she sent it to Lennar mortgage. Again, more emails, more time, more frustration I acquired what I had been asking for over a month. Finally at closing, They went past their day for closing that THEY made, then wanted to reschedule at a day that didn't suit me. If on my next home I have an option of a Lennar home and ANY other home, I will choose any other builder based off this poor experience. ... More

Financing was easy. Workmanship is the absolute wort. My Brand New home was not detailed at all. My stove I was told it was on when they did their inspection it was UNPLUGGED. My flooring was put together with bits and pieces. Lots of little pieces landscaping cheap only 20 feet of sod when I have at least 50 feet needed to cover yard. Big gaps that my dog got out under the gate. I didn’t realize how small the door entry to the bathrooms are my walker doesn’t fit through the door. Bee nest in my garage it’s my problem. I just moved in. I’m allergic to bees No upgrade center. You pay HOA fees even though the pool is not ready the workout area is not ready but you can pay every month that it’s incomplete. Would I buy again from Lennar. No. I would not. Buyer beware. ... More

It seems that they were trying to get the work done to sell the house. The workman ship was very poor. We had to walk this home 3 time and items were not addressed as of our purchase date. Items still need to be addressed with us living here. The door opening from the outside and the hinges on the outside of the door is very unsafe as well. Someone could just knock the hinges off and come into the home.

The volume of paperwork that could not be changed nor copied to have someone else look at it was ridiculous. Why send it if no changes can be made. We have not been impressed with the electrical outlets in the house.

Call me if you really want to know. Most certainly the worst buying experience I've ever had. HORRIBLE customer service. & response times.

Water tank, dishwasher, emergency shower hinge, ungrounded rail. These shouldn’t occur with adequate quality control. Home experience stafff became invisible and unresponsive after sale, warranty filing process is inconvenient and closed so my property managers cannot file claims on my behalf.

Unfortunately the quality control of their homes is non-existent. I have found issues with EVERY SINGLE TRADE!! I am an engineer by trade and run a construction company so I do know how good work should look like. Flooring / Tiles: Floor in general is off level. Had to add shims to almost every piece of furniture in the house. Very poor quality installation. Also found a couple of broken tiles as well. Grout stained with compound and tiles stained with lines from the framer, Bathroom tiles were never properly grouted on the top edge on all 3 bathrooms. Tiles poorly grouted and poorly caulked where needed especially in the bathrooms. Framing / Drywall: Multiple walls off square, especially window and sliding door openings. Joint cracking in several locations. Upon installing blinds, you lower the blind and one edge has 1/8" light while the opposite end has close to 1" gap. They implement "skip trowel" finish which looks hideous in my opinion and it is just to hide all imperfections and poor installations so they can pay less for the work performed. Electrical: Very poor rough in, off level boxes and face plates. missing light bulbs, faulty wiring on 2 points, missing screws on faceplates. Very poor design, electrical meter is on the opposite side of the house to where the electrical panel is. Cable / Internet: Very poor design, the utilities junction box on the sidewalk is on the opposite side of there the house junction inlet box is. Therefore, to get the utility connected the cable company has to go across the driveway which means going under all the pavers, or going all the way around the back and to the other side of the house to avoid messing up the pavers. The second option is detrimental to the speed of the internet because we all know the longer the run from the hub to the box the greater the loss in signal strength. Plumbing: Loose fittings / connections creating leaks in cabinets under sinks in multiple locations. Poor rough-in resulting in crooked shower heads. Water heater had to be replaced a week after we moved in because there was a foul smell coming every time you open the hot water faucet. When replaced, they were draining the old one and milky water was coming out of it and smelled horrible. Cabinets: Extremely CHEAP quality, poorly painted and scratched all over the place. Dings and dents all over the place and one in particular severely cracked and they tried hiding it with spackle and paint. No soft close mechanisms which these days and for the price point should be standard. ZERO caulking on joints. some of them were drilled on the wrong location and hole was poorly spackled and painted to hide the mistake. Very cheap quality overall. Multiple areas missing paint, poorly painted and dripped paint. Glazing: No impact window option which in Florida should be standard. Missing screens and scratched glass. The silicone work on the glass around the frame is horrible. As if a toddler would've done it. Very disappointing. Masonry: Fortunately most of it is covered by drywall but what is exposed in the garage is not good. Blocks were not laid out level and multiple voids in mortar joints. They also installed cracked and chipped blocks. Pool: It took almost 10 weeks after walkthrough and 6 weeks after closing to be able to use the pool. First at walkthrough, the pool control panel was dead and some of the jet plastic fittings were missing. By closing time it was still not fixed. Then it turned out the wiring of the panel was faulty so they had to replace it. That took 2 weeks to get done. Once it was working the pool turned green. Apparently Lennar forgot to pay the bill so the pool company stopped performing the service. Once that was resolved the pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. Furthermore, the pool heater is not working properly and las but not least the overflow drain was installed a bit too low so the pool fill level line is low obviously because it can't be higher than the overflow elevation as that drain works by pressure equalizing. Pool fence missing pieces and hardware all rusted out. Pool light housing not flush with pool wall. 1/4" gap on 1 and 1/8" gap on the other. Paint: Very poor paint job overall. you can see brush marks, roller marks, drips... In addition to it, EVERY SINGLE HINGE has paint stains. The garage floor is another failure. It is advertised as "Epoxy Garage Floor" but in reality this is false advertisement because they just pain the slab gray and throw the flakes on it. The 3rd step which is the epoxy resin is skipped and Lennar says they don't include it. Therefore it shouldn't be advertised as epoxy garage floors. And since the painter got there after the plumber, the garage floor under the water heater is not painted either. Sprinkler: Sprinkler system control box has a lock and no keys were provided. Rain sensor post was painted green but paint job is horrible. They overplayed some portions of the actual sensor assembly and missed some spots on the actual post. HVAC: Apparently system was ran while the drywall crew was working because all the vents already full of compound dust so you can dust in the morning and you will have a small film already accumulated by the end of the day on all your furniture and belongings. Lennar's response is they don't clean ducts. So one buys a brand new home to get ducts full of compound dust, which by the way is extremely bad for your health. House delivered with no filter in the system either. Pest Control: House has a bad problem with ants and spiders. Ants are undermining pavers all over the driveway and spiders invading the fascia all around the house. Makes you wonder about that termite spray they should used under the slab. Pavers: Chipped, cracked, off level all over the place. 27 in the back and 36 on the driveway. Roofing: Gutters are full of roof tile debris. This is unbelievable! Carpentry: Door hinges, some are missing screws, and others were installed with an array ... More

We have warranty items that have been identified to Lennar to be fixed. Some items like exterior doors that let air come through the threshold. This is a critical defect that is making our energy cost spike that has yet to be fixed. We have to keep rugs in front of the doors to keep our heat in. Other items have yet to be given an estimated time of completion.

I was warned that Lennar builds cheap homes. I should have listened. It all started on the intial pre-closing walk with our superintendent Luis where we gave him a punch list of items that needed to be addressed. Six days later (1 day before our closing and when we were to move out of our current home) I was called by Luis and told he couldn’t get the majority of things done but he promised we would have them addressed starting the week after we closed. So, we trusted him and on Thursday, October 17 we closed and got our keys. That is the day we started noticing there was more than a punch list not completed. Take away: DO NOT CLOSE IF ITEMS ARE NOT COMPLETED Here is a run down of all the issues we have had: -All of our initial walk through items were pushed to our 30 day list forcing us to take numerous days off of work to meet all the trades. 45 days after closing and we are still getting all of the trades out to fix the laundry list of items. Some of them look at the issue and say oh. My work order doesn’t say that. Sorry we will have to come back. -Sewer backed up into house at 8:30 pm two weeks after we closed. -AC condenser unit froze on move in day and was so loud that you could hear it from across the home -Master bedroom air vent was closed on walk through so we wouldn’t hear that when opened it sounded like an airplane was taking off and so that the other rooms could get air (this has now been band aid fixed with adjusting the dampener so less air goes there). We were recently told that was the best they could fix it but we will see how the house cools when it’s 120* outside -grout in tile is all different colors throughout house. We were told on initial walk the cleaning team would fix this. Didn’t happen. (waiting to see how they will band aid this one) -Front door isn’t square so when a breeze blows wind howls in and our hallway sounds like the set of a scary movie. -Electrical wiring is so cheap in home that when you vacuum your room the lights flicker (electrician said it’s to code and completely normal) The only positive in this process as been our current superintendent, Dan, who is amazing an an asset to Lennar. Too bad he wasn’t the one who did our closing! ... More

My experience with purchasing a new build from Lennar was horrible and will Never do it again. They were not easy to work with, their were to many people involved and was extremely confusing, so many different people and not clear on what they part of the transaction they were calling from. The impression I got was, nothing is changing or negotiating with price, colors, etc, and come to find out the house was painted the wrong color, and did a crappy job repainting. They also had to remove the stone at the front of the house as well, because that was the wrong color as well. The subcontractors didn’t pay much attention, but to build and go onto the next house. While visiting the home while being framed, there were quite a few pieces of 2x4’s that were split and should’ve been replaced, to where they looked like they would crack as the home settles. I’m still having issues with the home, they said they fixed these issues but Im still dealing with them. The tone that was set by Lennar was, if it’s an issue, don’t purchase the house and move on. We purchased grass/landscape and all it was, was grass that had no shape to it, sprinklers that weren’t working so some grass died, and tones of bark with no weed fabric under. You’d think for $7,900 at least weed paper would be provided. The interior of the house supposedly had been clean for move in, Nope! The windows were filthy inside and paint on the floors throughout the whole house, which wasn’t noticed until I vacuumed and mopped the home. Everything was as cheap as they could get to put inside and outside the home. There is much more and I could keep going on but see it now as a waste of time because that’s how they do things. Our neighbor moved in and had a gas leak behind their stove and couldn’t figure out exactly where the smell was coming through until the gas company came out So dissatisfied and will never go through this again with Lennar. ...

Lennar people had multiple mistakes on closing contracts and it was not easy to get is all corrected as their first reaction is blaming instead of accepting the mistakes and working on corrections. Home was handed over with many issues and I was only able to get some of them fixed after many requests.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the performance of the underwriter. I found their work to be highly disorganized, with significant delays in both requesting necessary documents and providing approval. This caused considerable confusion and frustration on my part. Due to these issues, I was seriously considering canceling my purchase. I would recommend that no further assignments be given to this underwriter, as their performance did not meet expectations. I have decided to submit feedback regarding my unsatisfactory experience with Lennar Mortgage.

Got a 2 story new home it's 1,950 square feet and they installed a 2 1/2 ton unit that does not cool properly the way it should they have gone out 4 times and still can't find solution and they know that the problem is that the unit is to small for house doent cool it at all down stairs till this day they haven't resolved anything and it's been over a month!!!!
