Lennar Reviews

The home was supposed to be fully wired for alarm service only two windows out of six were properly wired. Workmanship and quality of product wasn’t up to par. Low grade windows only the bottom tilts in for for cleaning. And the windows had a lot of silicone around the frame Leaking out very sloppy work . From the paint to the caulking and seals very hastily done and not properly done . The workers spilled glue on the floor still trying to get that all off. Garage floor has chunks of cement not smoothed out properly. garage door has a 15 inch dent on the bottom panel and I didn’t discover it till a week later and I’m not a jerk and wouldn’t ask them to replace it at this point. and if you ask for service they will come out but then there’s two guys in your house tearing up walls and fixing stuff . Not cool. Project building manager obviously not keeping an eye on the workers and the quality of workmanship. Lennar should make sure that the quality of their product at their lowest cost homes is the same as their most expensive homes. I needed to change and upgrade a lot of things in the house. I thought I was getting a deal with the appliances included but they were very cheap and I’m slowly replacing them. And I’ve only been in the house for two months. I will have to spend around $10,000 to get the Home up to a better standard.We pay $750 a year for HOA fees, for what I don’t know there’s nothing here there’s a little play park for toddlers. That’s it ,no amenities besides that I have no clue what we’re paying for. Shame on me. What’s the old adage there’s a sucker born every minute. I’m the sucker that proves that. ... More

At first the experience went well, but we had a hard time closing due to the poor workmanship at the end that caused us to have 3 home inspections and end the end it was still done poorly

My wife and I were so excited about moving into our new townhouse in Florida. We were all prepared to turn key and settle in. We were not prepared for what we encountered when we arrived home after closing. Appliances were not installed, counter tops damaged and not cut correctly, cabinet doors installed damaged, trim work on doors cut too short, numerous drywall issues, missing window sills, hot water heater didn’t work, numerous issues with paint, home was not cleaned prior to move, floors were covered in drywall mud, paint and grease. Front door had missing weather stripping, water to washer did not work properly, shower floors covered in paint and grout. Spent weeks trying to resolve all issues, some to this day have yet to be corrected. Very dissatisfied with Lennar on selling a house in this condition. ... More

The customer service from Lennar and the vendors is poor. Waiting for weeks and months for simple fixes and repairs is ridiculous. The follow up from the builder to individual contractors is non existent to very poor. The homes are being closed before they are ready. So many of the issues we and our neighbors have addressed should have been taken care of before closing. We can only hope the the overall quality of the home is good and that we won’t be facing issues for years to come. Also why isn’t the second phase of the amenities completed let alone started. We have been hearing for over 2 years that it will be ready in a year. Here we are in year three of this development and it is not even started. ... More

I am overall so disappointed in my new home and the experience that I had purchasing that, six months in, I am considering selling. I have already had leaks around the toilet because the pedestal sat too high - no one bothered to fix it before I moved in. They had to remove the toilet and the flooring, sand down the large concrete bump in the foundation and replace the flooring and toilet - an easy fix if you do it right the first time. I was without full use of my master bath for about 3 weeks while this was being done. After 3 "final" walk throughs almost none of the items we listed were complete. It was closing day by then and I just had to go with it. None of the doors is hung correctly leaving large gaps around doors - the laundry room door is so warped that I am not sure how they hung it. My house was not the most expensive, so I conclude that they either just didn't care about our homes in favor of the more expensive ones or that is just how they do business. They market these homes as the"everything is included homes" when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth. They don't even include doorbells! You basically get your four walls. I will give them credit for including a tankless hot water system and insulating the water pipes well - other than that - I've got nothing good to say. ... More

Our closing date changed 5 times. We are still waiting for a replacement kitchen drawer and it’s been 4 months.

They wont budge on anything, you want an outlet somewhere? Too bad! You offer them 200$ to put the outlet there? Nope nada! Any upgrades to materials have to come out of pocket (not through mortgage) and you have to use their vendor who will gouge you because they know you cant get additional offers. Default floors are not waterproof, this is the pnw, we get water. Site mgr is a little man (matt) who will try to get you in trouble for checking on the progress of your half million investment. Cute floor plans, but they phone it in and then act like theyre doing you a favor

Would not recommend. Everything Included is a lie. Never getting a Lennar again.

Lennar missed the mark

For +200k the least they could do is add window blinds. Water softener as well but mainly window blinds. Also most homes have two sided sinks to wash and rinse. Nor just one. We still haven't had our AC aligned as promised. Workers getting attitudes with one another about who's in charge. So it took a while to get a part of our home repaired and as stated, AC still doesn't blow to entire part of the house. Ants the first night. Everyone got bit. So many we had to get a hotel and hire someone to come spray. Information giving out EVERYONE. Salea people showing up even at night.

Sales team inadequate and unprofessional

Nothing to comment about my home other than what I have rated above.

The quality is lacking and Phil the customer service rep is horrible it wasn’t until I got a hold of his boss that anything got done around my house. They slap the houses together and want to walk away as soon as you move in no follow up poor customer service

Sales and local construction manager did a great job. The process of getting warranty claims resolved is terrible unless you’re talking to someone at the corporate office or a regional President. The preferred lender will lie and threaten you in an attempt to gain your business. Overall a pass if it were pass/fail (but not by much).

Not a good experience. Once they sold their home. They dont care about your issues. Built wrong foundation. Many many delays in completion.

I wish I could turn back time and wait on my close. Make sure you have everything complete before you sign. If Dillon is your construction manager, leave completely, he is not only incompetent, he is rude and unresponsive.

Since moving in there has been one issue after another with our home, as well as the surrounding neighbors. (and I'm talking about some BIG health and safety hazard issues). We have had people constantly in our home fixing issues since we moved in which has been frustrating. Many of the fixed items have been done very sloppy. Some of the issues we were told weren't under warranty, so we are already having to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for the extremely fast and sloppy work that is done with building these homes so quickly. Lennar uses the cheapest possible materials and the furnace installed isn't even suffice to heat half of our small home and so we can't use certain rooms when it's cold outside (and in Colorado it's cold for at least half of the year). More options would have also been appreciated with the home buying process as well, such as something as basic as a few different paint color options, or the option to have a bathtub. I am stuck with a yellow paint with modern style picks and it clashes. That is not a huge deal as I can repaint down the line but it would have been nice to have that option to avoid yet another cost. ... More

Buyer beware and Buyer beware.

Get an understanding IN WRITING that Lennar will not schedule / force closing until the house is fully complete.

House wasn't even finished during walk through Work is done cheaply Exceptions to close took 3 months to finish Bill with warranty would set up appointments you couldn't attend so work wouldn't get done Don't buy with Lennar

Was horrible and won’t ever buy another Lennar home

The team I worked with included people in San Antonio and in Austin. The only person that did their job on time and checked on us to make sure everything was ok was Thomas G. Everyone else didn’t know how or where to do their job correct. Starting off with the loan advisor who always had to ask a manager to do anything, then he never sent us our paper work for closing so when it was time to close and we were almost keys in hand that were like we need more money from y’all! Nope that’s not what this contract says, so they went and made a new one and had us waiting there! It was horrible! Then the quality of your home is subpar, all basic materials, they don’t provide full landscaping for sod so half of our yard is sod and the other is weeded grass that the city doesn’t come to cut (on their side of the fence), a lot of unsure attitudes dealing with Lennar. I gave two stars because I’m blessed to be able to even have a home, but their materials are cheap and their homes here in San Antonio aren’t meant to be forever homes just in the meantime homes unfortunately. ...

There were several items that had not been completed by the time of closing and several more issues once we moved in. We have now been in our house 4 months and are still experiencing issues. I feel that Lennar is now more about quantity than quality.

We like our home. However, the customer service experience is not great and horribly inconsistent. We would never recommend using Lennar Mortgage, terrible experience. I don’t think we would ever purchase a Lennar home again.

No trustworthy communication between sales and construction staff as to building delays, realistic settlement dates, or other updates. Each side blames each other when you talk with them. If materials are short due to supply chain, so be it. Just tell buyers the closing date is X and not hold to old and now out dated schedules just so Lennar can report sales and home closure progress for investor news. Then on top of all that blame the homeowner for wanting to know updates. Pressuring anyone who will listen for an update. Then be told a song and dance to get rid of me on the phone or in person in the sales office ... More
