Lennar Reviews

any issue with the property takes too long to get fixed, there was a week with the elevator not working

No responsive to warranty repairs that I am still waiting on for over 4 months

Expertise in timing was honored for my home, however, was not well informed when looking/buying~~all models were not shown to me in my price range when looking in Heritage Courtyards

Lennar makes a beautiful home. I just wish i could enjoy it without the constant stress of things going wrong. From multiple leaks and cheap paint, to defective AC causing heat and high humidity. Uneven flooring, broken cabinets, half completed yard, plumbing was FULL of garbage that overflowed and flooded the first floor. The initial rep basically brushes things off and we had to call repeatedly to get things fixed. He was replaced and the new rep is far better. Now they fix things a lot faster but i just don't understand why there are so many things that need fixing in a new home. Things that should have been done right the first time. They rush to build the homes on a deadline while using the cheapest materials possible. They replaced a closet door with one that had mold. Seriously? I had to wait even longer for a third try. My neighbors actually had their house built missing an entire closet in the bedroom. How do you forget to build a closet in a bedroom? The AC wiring was incorrectly ran so they had to redo it along the side of the house as a giant eyesore. It's ridiculous. ... More

Overall the home buying experience is good it's once you move in when it gets a bit tricky. Lots of finger pointing when things done get done and financial misinformation was given prior to the close. The companies chosen to do work, like lawn maintenance are not customer service friendly and there is no little to no communication from our point of contact with the HOA.

Although we closed on the expected closing date, the mortgage process could have been a lot smoother, poor communication. As a first time buyer I would say we love the house, only mishap was that we were expecting a step tray ceiling in the master bedroom and our home was built without, so again poor communication. Once moved in getting things repaired RIGHT has been nothing short of frustrating. The only thing I can add is that quality for the most part is above average however the drywall and painting is below average and getting these issues corrected is a pain. Needless to say I learned a lot in this process, mistakes I will watch out for on my next purchase. ... More

It was our first home buying experience, and I was hoping to enjoy it. Overall they did ok, but the mortgage part with constant postpones and delays was frustrating. Moreover, the construction manager was very irresponsible and would not fix stuff that we noted during the walkthrough.

As stated earlier, I know Lennar sells thousands of homes, however we bought one. What was supposed to be an exciting time became a frustrating chore. This is the fourth survey i had filled our and no one from Lennar has reached out. Says a lot.

I’ve been waiting 2 1/2 months to get the sod in the back of my house replaced. I moved in on June 26th and sod was dead when I moved in. Started notifying people on Aug 5th

Overall, this has not been a good experience for us whatsoever.

Love the layout of the house, communication between site manager and Mortgage was horrible experience. The model home and your home should be exactly the same. Everything that is included is not included. The Wi-Fi throughout the house was never installed and was told it was not available anymore but on the website it’s included also in the model homes signs inside the house it says it’s included. Five months into the house we are still having major problems.

From start to finish I feel like we’ve had issues. From paperwork to buy the house to even now closed on it and living it in. Just not at all what we expected

Terrible follow up from constantly rotating construction managers caused a lot of stress and delays. Generally poor workmanship. High pressure sales just tells you what they think you want to hear. Don't visit without a realtor or you're on your own for the duration.

Personnel very friendly and helpful. Home materials used were inferior. Interior paint chalky, appliances installed incorrectly, sound of garage door opening and closing very loud, backyard grading nonexistent, sod crabgrass and weeds, much more...

Was not happy with the fact that there were no choices, just packages. I took the highest priced packages because of the size of the floor tile, Loved package 3D except for the floor. I wanted the floors in package 3B (Same price package). Was told it was not going to happen. It was a really simple change at no extra expense to Lennar, but I was turned down. I understand they're their to make a profit but my floor change would not have affected their bottom line or the time line to finish the house. There were a few other issues along the way that I don't even want to get into.

The mortgage process didn’t go smoothly

Once the buying process was completed - Lennar has not upheld the convenance & restrictions of the neighborhood. They don't hold trades accountable for their lack of performance. And the property management team is lacking. It would help if tasks were completed successfully the first time instead of making promises that issues/concerns will get better.

Disclosure about flood insurance and the rental townhomes directly across the street from my house we were never informed about these issues. If we had known we were in a rental community we would not have bought, the agent in the model was not informative.

There have been multiple issues since moving in. The front rain spout that goes underground had to be dug up twice, as my drive way was an ice skating rink due to overflow. The flooring was not installed properly and had to be repaired, then the baseboards had to be repaired by 3 different people! The upstairs bathroom tub has cracks apparently from shipping and the manager just had someone repair it. I bought a brand new home I expect brand new everything. The oven is not level and hasn’t been fixed yet. The granite countertops are now pulling down and away from the wall; all that will be done is caulking according to what Chip indicated. The master toilet plugs up frequently with just urine and 1 piece of toilet paper. The requirements for fencing does not match up with where the front landscaping ends - almost 5 feet between where gravel ends and where fence can begin. Front landscaping still not started at any home and no indication of when it will start. The stainless refrigerator and dishwasher look terrible even after washing with special stainless steel cleaner. There is no towel rack in the master bathroom -just a hook, which is not sufficient. Stephan and Chip are great! They are/ have been very responsive and do their best with what they are able to do. Great customer service with those two. Just very disappointed with some of the craftsmanship of the home. ... More

It doesn't appear that the construction team did a quality check/inspection on all the sub-contractor work. Since we moved in this past January, we have had several visits from contractors to repair/finish work that should've been completed before closing. Cracks in windows, unfinished paint jobs, drywall issues. It is very noticeable to see the poor workmanship and lack of quality in how the work was supervised. We were not expecting to have all these issues within the first three months of living in a brand new home.

Flooring feels like it's coming up, wall paint peels off by wiping it, caulking on floor peels, bunch of nails, screws, papers, plastic, etc that has came up just by leveling the dirt in my backyard, paint on windows, back sliding door wouldn't stay on tracks for about 2 weeks.. I asked for help once and will never ask again.. nor do I want a follow up email or reply!

Felt like my concerns during build were brushed aside. Have lived here for a few months and still finding things that are weird/not straight, clumps of texture that we didn't catch on walk thru. Floor plan is great. Located near schools. Probably would try not to buy from lennar again. Someday could be a good rental property.

I will not be recommending lennar to anyone. The experience of buying a new hour was ruined by Leeca and John B. I was appalled at the way they treated and talked to me throughout the whole process. It was bad. My realtor is not even taking clients to lennar anymore.

This is my second time purchasing with Lennar and it seems that departments are not connected and do not talk to each other.The best part of this experience was working with Irma in Arden Park. She was amazing and made everything ok. She should be commended for providing exceptional service!

Purchase the home and 2 months in things started falling apart. Called to get it fixed and no one had came to fix it.
