Lennar Reviews

Not a very good experience..

The overall buying experience with Lennar very bad, you wont feel respected in their office. I could have responded them in different if i want back out for my purchase, but i liked the location Carolina Springs community. And later i was never interested to talk to them in any manner because of their behaviour. Construction manager is not even ready to do small changes while doing the construction even we are ready to pay for that. I felt their legal and construction teams are so worried on their quality of work that preventing them taking these kind of small works. I will recommend this community just for its location, and if they allow some small enhancements. ... More

Disappointed as to how unprofessionally Lennar handled the sale. What was stated and what was said were not correct. Extremely disappointing to keep getting feedback that this is not a custom home, so we need to expect this poor quality of work. Cracks in the tile and imperfect paintings and not aligned walls....first time buying a Lennar Home....maybe the last time too.....

Things pointed out on walkthrough were not fixed. Payment is 25 % more than quoted at closing, fencing had to be redone by myself and 3 neighbors.

It was not clear who address your issues to because I was constantly told that’s not my department. I didn’t have a pleasant experience with financial group with Lennar. It’s an unwanted experience for me and I am glad it’s behind me.

Honestly this was my 3 home purchase but if was the worst of the three. More stressful, communication wasn’t good at all, timeline kept changing, walkthrough and final walkthrough did not repair a lot of things that were broken or damage. Plan to purchase again but it will not be with Lennar.

I wish I could give a higher rating because I love the layout and space of our new townhome but we just had a difficult road getting here. The home buying process went smoothly until we took over ownership. Within a few days of closing our AC unit was stolen leaving us responsible for all charges. Lennar was very helpful in helping us find someone to replace it but it was an additional cost we did not forsee. Then the dishwasher leaked on the first use, the back door leaked during the first rain storm. We had trouble registering our ring cam because it was already registered so had to wait for account to reset. It was just one headache after the other. I don’t hold Lennar responsible for all of it but I do think they could have put a fence on the common property behind us and on side to deter theft. They did add a fence to other corners of their development but not ours. I would have liked to see them take the safety of the homeowners more seriously when planning a community because unfortunately that is the world we live in. I do want to point out that Nathan our construction manager was extremely helpful throughout all of this and guided us on how to resolve the issues and always responded to our messages in a timely fashion. ...

Home wasn’t ready for me to move in, did a walk through with the superintendent and found a bunch of problems and was promised everything would be fixed in a week, which was a lie took over 3 weeks.upstairs floor still squeaks all over the place even though they claimed they fixed it

Overall Homebuying experience with Lennar has been a "nightmare". First they would not put in the right outside light like "every other house" on my street has, they told me there was a blue print change but if you go through the neighborhood you will see that my house and only 1 other has NO outside light like all the other houses. Then the gas leak that I had to find and had to have the gas company come out to fix. Then the water is running and the water company is charging me an arm in leg because the metor was broke. Now the sprinkler system is leaking and Lennar keeps sending out workers that DONT speak english to fix but its still an ongoing problem.............the list just keeps going. Oh and I am disabled so go figure!!!!!!! ... More

I was looking to purchase a home early this year. I went to another Lennar community where an agent named Blanca helped me. After deciding that community was not a fit for me, I decided to look at other properties. After letting her know my budget and also timeframe, she kept pushing for an earlier date, to which I didn’t feel comfortable. I decided she was not a fit, because I wanted someone who understood my timeframe and knew I wasn’t interested in spending thousands of dollars more since I was still leasing an apartment. After finding Falcon, I went for a house there. The process was smooth, until the walks and inspections took place. Lots of items needed to be fixed and also there were items that seemed rushed and quickly done, just to get it out of the way and fulfill the closing time. In addition to that, 6 days prior to closing, the Lennar office removed incentives from the sale and increased my closing over 5k more. Unbelievable! They even told me I could stop down from the sale when I said that was not right. After going back and forth during several days, they were able to correct some of the incentives. That was such a nerve-wracking week filled with tons of emotions. It was extremely stressful to say the least! Then, at the last minute, they said that blinds didn’t come with the house, even when I had in writing by 2 people from the company, that blinds came with the home. They told me no. That’s a very deceptive practice. The last thing that happened, on the day of closing, I went to pick up the keys of my new home and the person who was in the office, was the manager Blanca, who in a very condescending and harassing manner asked me why I didn’t put her as my agent, if she was helping me at the beginning. I felt very threatened by the fact she was telling me this as I was picking up my keys. Instead of congratulating me on my home, she was complaining to me that she didn’t pretty much have my sale. That was crazy! What an experience! I hope Lennar gets it together! ... More

Lennar's workmanship is surprisingly sub par. This is truly a production home and that is what you get. There are such minor design features they missed that would move their home from below average to top notch but unfortunately, Lennar's home design team must be novices at best to have missed such minor things in their floor plans, at least in the many plans we reviewed. The community was the selling point for sure - NOT the Lennar home. We wanted to be in the community and had very limited home design choices with Lennar within our budget. If it wasn't for that, we would never have chosen Lennar. I wish I had a home designers ear to give them a few, low cost, home design pointers that I'm certain would definitely increase their home sales by a lot. Additionally, none of the "walk through" items were addressed as was supposed to be the case during that one week before closing. Also, the response time to issues raised . The masterbath tile design was not at all what was indicated it would be and I'm still dealing wit that. Overall, not a good experience at al. MI Homes and Mattamy have MUCH. better workmanship. Unfortunately, they did not build in the community we were looking at. But, highly recommend them over Lennar unless you are looking at their 55+ community homes, which seem to be of better workmanship and quality. I gave it 3 stars in the "value for the price" only because of current price trends and in the location we bought (Mirada). The home we purchased was a good value for the size of the home, comparatively speaking to other homes on the market. ... More

They changed my closing date 3 times because they had no idea what the right date was the fees we incorrect I had to send 2 separate wires it was the worst experience I have ever had!!!!!!

Eric has been excellent and transparent with the repair process. The rest of the overall experience, not so much. If I could do it all over again, I definitely wouldn't. Nick was helpful during his part as well. From the get go I felt punished for not choosing the in-house lender which is extremely wild to me that sales are being potentially jeopardized because of stinginess wanting to keep everything in the Lennar circle. I was penalized and forced to pay late fees because of an intentional act of not awarding the cert of occupancy until the day I was supposed to close while knowing that's needed to have an appraisal done. After talking with others in the neighborhood, I wouldn't have been better off with the in-house lender either because it's consensus that it's a bait and switch. Hope the value of my home doesn't plummet so that I can sell this and not have a complete loss within the next few years. The area is great, the people are great, the homes we were given however, just no. From there being massive holes in the front yard that I'm not sure how were missed (they laid sod over a hole that's about 6-7' deep, 1' wide and about 6' long to the HVAC system not being sufficient for the size of the home it's just overall been a nightmare since moving in. ...

I thought it would be a better first time homebuying experience. They found a quick sale. Thats all.

Didn't have a smooth process.

Tuvimos varios inconvenientes: 1. Nos asignaron la casa que no habíamos escogido y la compra se retrasó un mes y medio. 2. La casa la entregaron con muchos defectos de pintura, grama del jardín, detalles en la madera y mal pintada o sin pintura en el garage. 3. La firma de los documentos fue toda una pesadilla. Y nos sentimos mal tratados por parte de Lennar. 4. Solucionar los problemas de la casa es todo una odisea y más cuando eres extranjero y no estás en USA. Realmente no compraría otra casa con Lennar.

The community is a good-looking community BUT since we got here, there are TOO MANY issues with the CDC not properly following up with things to do despite there is a major budget. So where does this budget money go? Also, they cancel meetings most of the time and the homeowner have little to say because they do not want to listen during the meetings. Also, gates are not working, sometimes the water fountain stop working, palms are all over the entrance, flowers have not been replaced nor the mulch and the grass looks pretty bad in many houses. After buying the house, there are so many problems, and it takes a while for the construction team to get it repair. It seems that similar issues are happening in many other communities built by Lennar. We hope that when Lennar leaves the community, FIX all the problems OR leave the money for the new HOA so we can have a beautiful community with HAPPY residents. Also, we hope that Lennar provides to the new HOA a way to acquire the clubhouse since there are rumors that the club might be sold to a third party. If that is the case, I will be selling my house and I know that it will be the same decision of other homeowners. NOT good for Lennar. ... More

Standard Quick construction homes at a decent price, depending upon the location and home plans etc. Construction quality is not great. Customer Warranty service is very poor. I have a HVAC issue going on now over a month, and they closed the ticket by saying fixed and completed. I had to reach out to management, and as usual they were unaware! Overall not so great experience as compared to other builders I deal with.

If you buy a house from Lennar, make sure you ask questions all informations that you're confused on because they dont explain things to you to level that you'll understand it and they expect that your comprehension about home buying informations are same as theirs. Another thing, make sure you review all paperworks before you sign the closing or as the notary agent explain stuff to you because again, the lender doesnt put out information to where your "credits" goes to and ours almost didnt get all credited because of lack of communication from lender. For inspections, their representative doesnt have honor on their words, if you see a discrepancy, make sure that they take care of it before you accept the house and its in writing, we got promised that some discrepancy will be corrected on our final walkthrough but since its not on the writing, we didn't get them to fix it because they dont deal with pest control even though its been promised on the final walk through. Dont trust any of their representative and double check all parts of your house as much as you can. If there's other property thats for sale close to our preferred location, we probably cancel purchasing this property and buy the other. I hope no other people will experience all the stuff that we experienced with this company. ... More

This was our first time buying new construction. We thought Lennar was best of the best and instead we encountered problem after problem during the entire process. Sales reps lie. model home, website, and documentation all advertise “everything included” then when you sign off on paperwork and close you find out not everything they said was included is included. They change it up and then tell you sorry you’re out of lucky. Nothing we can do. Lennar mortgage couldn’t get anything straight. Always asking for the same paperwork. Then sending us wrong numbers. Lennar insurance is another screw up. Quoted us one number then sent us a ridiculous quote for 5x more and then turned out they sent us someone else’s quote with their personal information. Then sent us correct quote but still 5x higher. Ended up going with Mercury for the best price. Customer Care rep Will, is unreachable. Never responds to my texts. Even when I immediately text him back after he asks me a question regarding the service requests I open. He never responds. And when he reaches out about a service request it’s usually weeks later. Horrible horrible customer service. I could go on and on. Do your research. Don’t let them take advantage of you. Don’t believe everything they say and don’t believe the documentation and website either because the like to change things up last minute. Good luck! I won’t be buying Lennar ever again. And I won’t be recommending them either. ... More

Lennar has responded quickly, but after nearly 2 months many issues are still not resolved. The workmanship is poor, and we have been dealing with a very hot upstairs due to A/C issues. The price and location was good, but we have been underwhelmed thus far.

The finance officer was incredibly non responsive to our situation. I will not ever consider buying another Lennar built house!

Low build quality, finding problems since day 1. A lot of relatively small issues but they build up and snowball. A lot of it can be avoided by putting in high quality work in the first place. Sales team and home rep are generally responsive but the same can't be said for their lender team.

Lennar has a very poor quality of service.

Lennar mortgage, the customer care team, the guy doing your walk through and the people who close with you are top notch. Lennar sales rep was completely worthless. Threatened us that we were going to lose our condo multiple times, gave no updates on status of our condo, why there were delays. And would only call with news two weeks after we got news from other people second hand. The only reason we stayed was because it would have cost us money to get out. Only showed up at our residence for literally 2 seconds after our walk through even though they told us they would be there hours before.
