Lennar Reviews

Builders rush instead of ensuring quality products. The level of professionalism is below standard. Communication between all parties in the process is poor. If you have a new build, expect significant delays from the original move in date. I could go on, but basically expect to be disappointed and don’t set your expectations high.

Communication and response time is horrible for any warranty work needed. We were promised several things from first warranty guy then he was switched to different property and new guy has no idea about anything. Wait time to get items addressed and taken care of is ridiculous. We have asked to speak with supervisor verbally, through text, and via emails. No response on that yet either.

I would avoid Lennar knowing what I know now about the company and quality of their homes. They have admitted to utilizing a fast pace low quality model that I feel lends itself to poor craftsmanship, unaccountability, and a propensity to only be concerned with the bottom line. Simply put, they just don't make quality houses like they use to. When issues came up, I was given the cold shoulder for weeks and told that the warranty doesn't cover the issue that I was concerned about. It did not seem like they were going to provide an amicable solution until I started CCing people on emails unfortunately. ... More

I say poor workmanship & oversight because so many of the issues are related to an untrained workforce. Simply stupid things: leftover carpet padding kernels under the carpet, so there are chunks of unevenness noticeable when you walk on the carpet in your bare feet; same with subfloor fasteners not set fully that you feel through the carpet; extremely poor caulk quality called out during the walk through, made worse when corrected; garage door track misaligned causing the door to warp; garage door weatherstrip short by 3+ inches; refusal to paint the wood truss portion that is visible in attic windows; refusal to allow inspections predrywall (I understand why now); doors that overlap improperly and different location than model and in plans; cracked window frame; inoperable window sash; electric to AC unit left too long laying in dirt- just poor oversight of under qualified workers. I would add Lennar's Mortgage Company offers a nice buydown, but they contact you nearly daily with new things to sign- very frustrating. ... More

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to pay premium prices for the thrilling experience of being treated like an inconvenience, look no further than Lennar Homes! Lennar Mortgage: Apparently "transparent pricing" is code for "surprise rate changes at the 11th hour." Nothing says "trusted partnership" quite like last-minute rate hikes when they assume you're too invested to walk away. Spoiler alert: we did walk away and found a lender who apparently attended the radical school of "honoring their word." Construction Management: Customer service training must have been replaced with a masterclass in condescension. Email responsiveness? Think geological timescales. And heaven forbid you follow up - how dare customers expect communication! Warranty Services: My personal favorite - the "it's not broken enough yet" approach to obvious installation errors. Backward vent? "Come back when there's water damage!" What a nice treat to save for when your warranty expires in a year. The cherry on top: A month post-closing and the vacant home still offers that distinctive eau de budget paint store. Really ties the whole experience together. Would I recommend Lennar? Absolutely - to anyone compiling a "what not to do" guide for the housing industry. ... More

Hope to have more options for mortgage and title. The overall service from Title is not really satisfied.

I just purchased my brand new house in Stone Manor last month and the AC is not working, the roof is leaking at the front door, there is a yellow stain at the wall by the entrance door and there is an electrical switch that is catching on fire when you turn it on. No garbage bin

I don’t know where to start here. They use the cheapest labor. Cheapest parts. We moved into our home, and our home received 0 internet signal (we pay through our hoa). Cheap siding that had fallen off more than once. Then the people who fix it, leave white caulking on the side of the house and expect you to file claims to get it fixed. Plumbing was backed up with concrete. Rocks. Trash. Screws. Our customer service rep tried saying “well we can’t prove that it was or wasn’t you”. As if my family and o would take off toilets and sinks, to jam a bunch of rocks and concrete into our new home and pipes. Makes 0 sense. Plumbers came. Knocked a pipe. Sewage went all over the house. Weeks later, the flooring guy came and had to bring his daughter to translate into English for him. I’ve had more strangers come into our new home than family or friends. Wrong parts have been ordered. Things have been ruined. I paid people to move and set up our new house (normally I’d do it myself but I was in a head on collision and had a whole slew of problems with my neck and back. My 9 year old broke his back and spine). So you’d think, with Lennar knowing all of this, they’d be more helpful. Boy, you can’t be more wrong. It’s like pulling teeth. We had the kitchen cabinet people come yesterday, only to find out they had the wrong parts ordered, so more waiting is to be had. I miss my Pulte home. Be careful, make sure you hire your own inspector. Do not use whoever Lennar uses (that you pay for). Good luck. ... More

We choose a lot and purchased a Lennar home to be built for us in early November 2024 and then closely monitored and videoed the entire build. We are left disappointed with the construction workmanship, much of which took place during the winter. The concrete for the foundation and floors was poured in sub-zero temperatures with inadequate freeze protection with constantly failing heaters allowing the concrete to freeze in early curing stage leaving questionable quality. Roof ice shield installed over snow on the sheeting in temps so cold there was no adhesion at all. Windows and doors installed in the same conditions and any hand framing done was of very poor workmanship, overhead garage door which fell off due to missing/ un-tightened fasteners, etc. Interior fit and finish poor with low quality cabinets (our fault for not noting prior to purchase), Refrigerator door that slams into pantry doorknob (response from Lennar when complaint filed was " no action will be taken since construction was to plan"!). That points up Lennar customer service. Since nothing can be changed after the purchase agreement is signed, customer service consists of reporting what's been done. Jordan and Noah, our building supervisors, were very good within the constraints of what Lennar would allow. They personally accommodated us in our requests for changes or corrections whenever they could. Our Lennar Mortgage Lender local Rep was not very helpful, leaving us confused, with little information and failing to correct several errors along the way. Alan at Lennar Mortgage Main Office was always helpful and followed through on all matters in his control. Lennar closed on the original date they gave us, a plus, however we had no driveway or sod for another month after that. At this date, 2 months after closing, we still wait for Lennar to issue our final grading report so we can apply to the HOA for approval of an exterior deck we wish to build. Our contact efforts have so far gone unanswered. I would never recommend anyone pre-purchase a Lennar Home to be built for them. Buying a pre built spec home wouldn't change the poor winter building outcome but at least you wouldn't have to watch and you would avoid all the post closing finishing work.. ... More

Samantha with Lennar mortgage was rude. I hated my home buying experience with Lennar. You guys were available on Easter Sunday, a holiday to coerce me into purchasing this home. Then when the deal went through, you could not hear or find them. Calls went unanswered. I remember moving day, my Keys won’t work for the door. I called everyone I could’ve think on for help. They did not offer no help. I had to pay a locksmith and did NOT receive my full compensation. I’m very disappointed in them. I had to get 4 new tires because the nails from the builders next to my house got in my tires. No worries I won’t ask Lennar to compensate me for that. I’m not at all happy with my home buying experience from Lennar and won’t recommend them to anyone. Go somewhere else if you have to. My mailbox keys were sitting in the office all the time while I waiting for the post office to reach out to me. They never called and told me anything. Lennar want you to hurry up and purchase and then when the deal is done, they scatter like roaches when the light comes on . FACTS!!! ... More

If you're considering buying a home from Lennar, let me offer you a word of caution: proceed with eyes wide open. Lennar is not a company focused on the customer—they are entirely built around maximizing shareholder profits, even if it comes at the direct expense of the buyer’s experience and satisfaction. From the outset, it becomes painfully clear that Lennar refuses to accommodate even the smallest request to substitute or add materials. Need a minor deviation from their cookie-cutter setup? Forget it. Any suggestion, no matter how reasonable, is met with a flat "no." Why? Because customization doesn’t serve their bottom line. It’s cheaper and faster for them to mass-produce homes and leave the burden of upgrades, repairs, or adjustments entirely on the homeowner. Their one-size-fits-all approach isn’t about quality or service—it’s about efficiency, speed, and profit. Lennar’s true customer isn’t you—it’s the boardroom. The executives, the shareholders, the quarterly earnings reports—that is who they answer to. Once they’ve squeezed every last dollar from a development, they pack up and move on to the next unsuspecting community. Let’s talk about their HOA. Calling it a "dictatorship" would almost be generous. Everything is on their timeline, not yours. Want to install a simple fence to keep your children or pets safe? You could be waiting months for “approval.” Instead of streamlining the process by coordinating fencing options pre-move-in (as any thoughtful developer might), Lennar stalls and delays, wielding unnecessary control over what you can and can’t do with your own property. The entire experience reeks of corporate indifference and bureaucratic arrogance. You are not treated as a valued homeowner—you are a transaction, a line item, and a means to an end. So before signing on the dotted line, remember what you’re walking into: a sprawling, profit-driven machine that views neighborhoods as revenue streams and buyers as disposable. Choose wisely. ...

So many issues and lazy work that led to dozens of warranty claims in the first month. We were unable to move in as scheduled due to the volume. Was a shame to have so many issues including construction debris clogging pipes, electrical work not done correctly, etc.

I am writing to express my appreciation for my new home. Buying my first home was a dream come true, and I love both the house and the neighborhood. However, I am also writing to share some concerns regarding the communication and efficiency of the homebuying process and subsequent support. Throughout the entire process, I experienced significant communication issues. For example, no one showed up for the initial walkthrough appointment. After closing, I was locked out of my home, and although the construction manager did respond, it took over an hour for someone to arrive and open the door. Furthermore, I attempted multiple times (weekends, weekdays, after hours, and during office hours) to get issues in the home fixed by contacting the construction manager, as instructed for the first 30 days. While he sometimes responded promptly, and sometimes later, nothing was ever resolved. Now, over a month later, I've been told I need to go through the warranty department. I regret that my time was wasted, as I could have initiated the warranty process from day one when these issues were first noticed. While the team was very prompt in requesting items and sending emails during the buying process, I felt there was a lack of efficiency in responding when I, as the homebuyer, needed assistance. I am grateful to have my home, but I must admit that these experiences have been frustrating. I would have genuinely appreciated a smoother and more efficient experience for my first home purchase. ... More

The Muirwood Model is ridiculous. The pantry is to big which caused the island to be to far from stove-especially when taking full pots of boiling water off the stove-the primary bathroom has doors banging into doors along with the shower door encroaching into the water closet door way, the stove is horrible. You have 3 very heavy grates and a griddle which have to be removed to clean the stove properly. The quality of the fit and finishes are pathetic and cheap. Typical of Lennar. House was way overpriced.

I guess the biggest thing is the only objective is to get the money from your buyer. Afterwards, it’s you are On your own. But, with all the HOA’s, water, gas, electric, etc. buyers could greatly use the benefit of a helping hand. Also, warranties, what we need to do who to call, connectivity issues in the house, all this can be overwhelming!!!

Where do I start? From being misled by the realtor to the poor workmanship in my home, the experience with Lennar has been nothing short of disappointing. The issues didn’t stop at closing—getting warranty work addressed has been a constant battle, with delays, lack of communication, and unresolved problems. I expected better from a national builder, but I’ve learned the hard way. I will never buy another home from Lennar, and I’d strongly caution others to think twice before doing so.

The entire process with Lennar was very poor. Minimal communication and unresponsive. The best part of the process was communication and follow through with Lennar Mortgage, Ali was outstanding!

Had a terrible sales experience. OUr sales person lied to us over and over again. The build quality is average. There were several bowed walls throughout the house. There was little attention to detail. Get an inspection PRIOR to closing . We were missing roof tiles and joists.

Entire purchase experience was miserable.

Disappointed to find out things that were not right would not be fixed and that’s within the first two weeks of living there other work to be done was not done.

The after care is awful and when we go to sales office if you do not find your representative that sold home they walk away with zero direction

Workmanship is poor - No ability to choose any upgrades - does not exist - poor communication on what is going on - No screens for windows - No drawers in sink for Master Bedroom - Cannot upgrade anything - Poor Poor value for the money you are spending on new home!!

I purchased a "Qucik Move In" home. I am someone who likes to thoroughly read everything that I am signing, to make sure I completely understand what I am signing but I was rushed and they attempted to hurry me along with the signing telling me several times "Its all standard" - well - I have never bought a home before so I dont have a clue what the standard is! On top of that, once we did sign, and got final full approval, we did our first home walk through, and even that felt like we were being rushed through in order to not find all the flaws, and issues with a NEW HOME BUILD. We decided to come back ourselves AFTER that initial walk through before we accepted the home to thoroughly spend more time looking at everything, and we found a lot more areas that needed fixed. There is no pride in their work. They hire electricians that are not licensed. There were loose cables at our electrical panel that had to be later fixed. I cannot stress ENOUGH - HIRE AN INSPECTOR!!!! He found they improperly wired our home with the wrong color cable and then they painted it at the panel to show like it was correct. We have a wall that is literally wavy and they're telling me they may not fix it because they are stating the wall can be inside of a 1/2" on a 12-ft area of a wall but they are misquoting the ROC standards. ROC standards show it is 1/4" but that doesnt even matter. Ours is out of standards, as it is 3/4" or more in some areas. . Just do your research on what home builder you buy with. No home is ever going to be 100% perfect, but this appears to just be lazy workmanship. ... More

I will say that the home is built with the lowest cost of materials possible, the interior paint is very poor in quality, and I believe it is only a primer coat, there was no garage door opener installed and we had to pay $500,00 to get that installed, the water pressure in the neighborhood is very poor and most of the new owners are very upset with the water pressure because you can't water the lawn because there is not enough pressure to run a sprinkler, take a shower, do laundry! I have had several issues with the house that need repair and can't get anyone to come out and repair it! I get told that someone will be out, but they don't show up!! No sense of urgency to meet my request for repairs. My wife and I feel that during the purchase process everything sounds perfect and how Awesome Lennar takes care of the Owner, but after the deal is done, the true colors come out and nothing gets done!!! So, overall My Opinion is that we would not purchase a Lennar home knowing what we know now!! Unless Lennar steps up and comes through with the promises they put forth, I will never reccomend a Lennar home! One final thought, The toilet in the guest bathroom is all but tipping over because the floor is so out of level the toilet doesn't mount flush to the floor!! I have called the number given for the plumber to repair it but like always, nothing has been done and I have been waiting for 5 days now for this to be repaired! what I'm being told by the plumber is " someone will be out today, but nobody ever shows up" not even a phone call telling me they wont be out!!! Very unprofessional indeed. ... More

I was verbally promised backyard grass and 3 trees upon moving in to my new Lennar build (as incentive). It’s been 4 weeks since move in and I have 2 trees and no grass in the backyard. Lennar will do the bare minimum for you as a customer because they only care about moving you in fast! Be careful.
