Lennar Reviews

Very organized process at first, but only to assure Lennar's rights and exemption of liabilities and obligations. My honest feeling is that the purchaser means absolutely nothing for them in any sense. Whenever things go wrong in the process (and they often do), all the burden is automatically imposed to customer. Lennar is extremely inflexible. They request escrow deposits with many days in advance, but cancel closing dates unilaterally with no (or very short) notice. If you have any problem (with loan bank, appraiser or insurance company – and I had them all), problem is all yours… No help, assistance or flexibility on Lennar side. All commitments assumed by buyer are demanded rigorously. All obligations assumed by Lennar are loose, fluid and subject to unilateral change by them. Terrible and very stressful experience. ...

Problems didn't take long to occur; there were cracks on walls, which was the slightest issue of them all. They didn't build the plumbing correctly, causing the water from the bathroom to overfill, have builders come back and dig up the waterline outside. The dishwasher leaked multiple times, which was an appliance issue. The kitchen cabinet had a huge crack on the side and was fixed, but after fixed, the drawer wouldn't close properly. The doorbell chime was burnt out within six months. The lightbulb in the bathroom dropped as well. The overall quality of this house was not worth the price, and hardly convinced it was newly built. The only thing good to say was the timely respondent of customer support. ... More

I had a horrible experience with Lennar. The communication was horrible. I received "update" emails for the building process but, it was not correct. The building process was about 2 weeks behind from what the emails were saying was done/ to be done that week. During the scheduled "closing" week, I received communication from the Lennar team threatening to cancel the contract because I was not using their Lender. THE HOUSE WAS NOT CLOSE TO FINISH at the time of. They expected us to do a walk-through of an unfinished house that did not even have power or water running. They even forgot to install a window. I had to notify them of this error. Once the house was completely finished almost two weeks later, the house looked great, but I definitely would not rebuy with this builder. 4/10 would recommend. ... More

It felt like they were just an assembly line putting a product together.

Home wasn’t close to finished for the walk through and wasn’t finished for closing. Almost two months on and I am still running around trying to get them to complete projects. I gave them four stars for trustworthiness only because I believe it will get completed.

5 months after purchasing my home I am still waiting for construction damage repairs. I should have never closed with the construction damage. Now I feel like they are taking their time with repairs.

Zero QA/QC in our home. Customer care reps were sympathetic at first and helpful, but as we have been putting in the numerous daily work orders the past 2 months, the quality of service has dropped enormously and close to zero cares given. It all started to go down hill during the construction process and has now trickled down to customer care experience.

Quality of the house is poor. Final finishes and products used very poor for a lennar community would notbuy another lennar home and we are already looking to sell this house and move away from this community

very nice community but the nearest school for my kids to attend is over 30 mins away and estimated bus drive is 1.5 hours. If we needed to pick up or drop off our kids it would consume over 2 hours a day spent driving. If you have kids that need to attend school do not move here. also the infrastructure has not been addressed. One builder is dropping 700 homes and the roads are single lane each way. This area is going to be a mess for several years until the growth catches up to the homes being built.

Worst loan company I’ve ever dealt with

The main issue my wife and I had with lennar was the lack of communication during closing from the loan officer, loan processor and a little bit from the sales rep. Important things were not communicated to me, which complicated the closing a bit. Luckily my real estate agent was able to guide us and help us. At closing, we found several other people complaining about the same issues. The only thing that saves lennar from 1 star is Bill, who did the walk through with us. He was more than helpful.

The communication can definitely be better all around. I constantly had to reach out for things and do my own follows ups. One of our first walkthroughs i scheduled to have a home inspector come in. He was barely able to do his job the A/C unit was not hooked up. The only appliance that was plugged in for testing was the refrigerator. Those were one of the biggest things. I scheduled in advance for the inspector to come 1 week before the walkthrough and got the ok. I let the construction manager know that if things were not going to be ready for walkthrough they should have let me know so I could have rescheduled the inspector. When closing day did come communication between the tittle company and our loan officer was ridiculous. The title company provided us a time to get there we did and had to wait and wait. Between waiting for them to get the documents they say never received signing the documents it took about 3 hours. The whole experience for us making such a large purchase could have definitely been better. ... More

The house is made of very cheap materials. The dishwasher is plastic, the island makes a hallow noise when anything touches it. The sheet rock in the garage is not finished. The windows leak. It is always cold down stairs and hot up stairs.

Ask numerous questions and don’t assume anything. It is a process that needs to be heavily involved with decisions made, and read all materials available to know exactly what you are purchasing. It is not as easy as they claim it to be. Highly suggest home inspections prior to settlement.

It was a delayed build and the overall product is of poor quality.

Communication was the biggest problem working with Lennar. As a first-time homebuyer, my experience was ruined because of my sales rep. The title company also gave me poor service as well. I was called after 6 pm to close on my house at 8 pm because that day I wasn’t even sure If I would since I didn’t hear from anyone. So I didn’t leave the title company until 10 pm.

Should finish projects before closing!

At closing make sure you look at ever detail when doing walk through. Test everything to make sure its working.

You use by far the cheapest products from appliances to folding doors Worst of all is the exhaust vents on the roof. When the wind blows the flapper inside bangs and bangs. I’ve looked at a sample vent and it is cheap cheap cheap With no real fix Mgmt tells me to but my own and install it Wow I won’t recommend your product in the future

I have already shared my experience in a previous survey and did not hear from anyone . I will never buy a Lennar home again after this experience.

I love the design of my unit very much. But all the materials are builders grade...very cheap, flimsy or functionally not optimal. It's a matter of time where everything will need to be replaced. Also I think it is criminal not to allow hardwood over carpet on the second floor. I cringe when I see many of the buyers rip out brand new carpet before moving in as I did myself. This type of waste and unsustainable practice is really unacceptable.

Rush everything, fix very little, Waiting 4months for issues to be fixed. Neighbors all having issues as well

There were over 25 issues upon closing on the house in August. It has taken over 3 months to get these issues resolved. I don't believe the house was even inspected by the onsite Lennar team prior to the closing date. Horrible experience!

That they claim to not be a "custom builder" when they need excuses for construction miscues and for their lack of options. For the price of their home, it seems unreasonable to make those claims. Buyers must understand that changes internally will be on their own, while changes externally are virtually non-existent due to HOA regulations.

Paint is chipping because they watered down the paint. The solar panels are not even close to netting out the results its supposed too. The amenities are not complete yet we are paying an hoa fee for them. The Mello roos is labeled as special assessment which has a 50 year bond on the property (where most have 25 year bond). The public lights to the street are not even turned on. The curbs leading into the property are incredibly high and are not up to code (which they are claiming that they are and are refusing to pay for improvements). "The Olympic pool" they are offering as a selling feature is a barely a lap pool. Hoa fees fluctuate based on phases opening up which was not discussed. Closing process was a nightmare. ... More
