Lennar Reviews

Buying home with Lennar is nightmare, I would not recommend anyone go with Lennar at least in Sutton fields. 1) To start with Ronnie (sales agent) She is one point of contact who gave me 20 min to select a home and never picked my call after booking, responds only text message, no regular update on construction or meeting with construction manager. For any questions asked she was rude and will threaten like you can cancel your home if you are not happy. No updates provided as a courtesy to us on changing home Brick color, removing vinyl on bed room or delay in construction time. I must reach her every time to get weekly update. She will provide default answers like construction delay or no updates from construction manager, Never provided specific details. Two of my buddies booked home with MI in my street Sutton fields, I was part of walk through and closing, they took responsible for every item and had really good home busing experience. After that I would never recommend any one to go with Lennar. 2) Walk through is less than 15 minutes and sent me document in mail only 15 mins before inspection while I was driving to inspection, Sprinkler or Sod was not covered in inspection and it is not part of warranty. Sod provided to home 4316,4317,4321 and 4312 tartt ave are 4- Quack glass weed. When I asked during inspection solution provided is we will mow it before closing. All the concerns I said during inspection was not documented and inspection person said we will address it and will do pressure wash home before I close it. After getting the Keys home was untouched and none of the issues are addressed. When I asked sales agent, she asked me to go to warranty. Warranty people say exterior is not covered in warranty. (Door threshold is full of cement, Patio is covered in mud, insulation was removed in attic and not placed back under A/C unit.) When all 4 homeowners raised this issue to Wayne on the second day after closing, he inspected home and said it is from soil. When I pulled sod out and should him it from sod, he has no answer. Then move on and saying this is not covered in warranty. That shows lennar has no Quality control on Sod purchase. Even now all 4 home owners have no clue how to get red of quack glass (which has no herbicide to control it) Nursery and lawn experts recommend to resod or kill and reseed entire lawn. Would like some one to come and see the Sod provided to us, who is genuine and ready to address issue. Will continue writing my lennar home buying/after sale experience in all possible forums and groups until we get any solution from lennar. ... More

My buying experience was horrible, from the moment I signed the contract and paid my down payment. My sales person did nothing to earn his fee. No one even met me at my home to hand me my keys. I was told they were in a drawer. When I arrived, the house was filthy; there was even a dishwasher in the great room. I have over 40 issues needing warranty work. The workmanship was deplorable. I am shocked that Lennar would let such a product carry its name. The mortgage company was also sub par. I couldn't get people to respond to me, and it took several attempts to get every issue resolved. The ONLY part of my buying experience that was of quality was the closing. My notary was excellent, and the closing was smooth (although, the title company had the incorrect closing date on several documents). Since my purchase, my warranty rep, Susan B., has been EXCELLENT. She is responsive, dependable, and takes pride in her work. ... More

Really just to much to type. We had several changes in contructuon managers. Major communication issues and many things overlooked due to changes. Several push backs with closing dates. Very stressful process with many false promises

Process was not what I expected. Got a lot of push back from agents. It’s been 45 days and I still have not gotten the grass installed.

Being a first time home buyer, I wasn’t familiar with the process of purchasing a home. The information required was understandable since it’s a large purchase however it was time consuming and extremely detailed. Once that was complete I thought the worst part is over. I was wrong. One week prior to signing my papers I was told it needed to be extended, I understood. The second part, I was told that the home I was purchasing (which was completed except for minor details) was inspected and it was valued at about 13K more that I was paying. I was told I needed to pay that difference. At this point I understood the price was set, as well as my down payment and monthly mortgage. I couldn’t afford to pay this amount. I was then told what can I pay and I stated I couldn’t afford anymore. The agent stated he would contact the area president and would explain why I couldn’t pay the full amount but was able to pay an additional 1K. I was told of this offer was declined, I wouldn’t be moving into my home. I was upset, and was ready to give up. After a couple of days I was informed my offer was accepted and I’d be receiving a final overview of my down payment and the other details involved. Upon reviewing my documents I noticed that they increased my down payment by 6K more. This was the third time my down payment was increased. I was pretty upset. I was explained why, which was something that was previously discussed with an agreement and solution. My overall experience was horrible and I feel somewhere in this process someone messed up and tried to get me to pay for the mistake. Disappointed and wouldn’t recommend. Now I’m moved and it’s been more issues, such as my A/C and electrical issues that apparently are not up to code. I signed my papers latter part of March and moved first week in April and still dealing with electrical issue. ... More

Low quality of products used to sell fast, lack of great customer service, no responsibility to fix items prior to sell forcing customers to close without options

My loan and mortgage officer Anna and Deacon were completely unresponsive for days leading up to closing and terrible about returning emails, texts, and phone calls. Very frustrating process. Our salesperson Trent showed us online a home with wood flooring and when we asked for photos of the home he sent us two photos are night showing very little. When we saw the hole with tile flooring and were upset he just said "well it was in the contract."

The price of the home doesn’t reflect the low level quality of materials and craftsmanship in the home. The home has a beautiful face on it but basic everything else from the cheap doors, no locks on the door knob, the basic level stove and microwave, carpet padding, no screens for the windows and the most horrific caulking and painting of the base boards. I reached out to inquire about upgrading the low level things and I was told that it violates the warranty!?!?. You don’t know all of these things until you get in the house and live in it. Also what happened to everything is BIG in TX??? The driveway doesn’t fit to full size vehicles. You can’t even get out and not be standing in the grass. That is TERRIBLE. I’m coming from Florida and the Lennar homes are on a completely different level and quality. I was excited about this experience but I feel like i’ve been scammed for $150K. My last place was built in 2019 and very similar. I wish I was back in Florida. ... More

Build rushed. Drywall not satisfactory. Paint not satisfactory. Appliances not set up correctly. A/c unit not powered up. Propane tank too close to home, can't build a sufficient deck because of it. Very responsive warrenty program though. New home sales team pushing construction team too fast. Corners are being cut, mistakes are being made due to aggresive schedule from what I can see.

If you purchase in Babcock National from Lennar, DO NOT expect to move in within the first 60 days of closing - your residence will not be inhabitable! The worst part of the experience is the attitude of the construction manager and failure to communicate on resolution. INSIST ON THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT TO BE AT YOUR WALKTHROUGH WITH AN IPAD TAKI G PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALL THE ISSUES. TEST EVERY APPLIANCE THOROUGHLY DURING YOUR CLOSING.

Empty promises. Deceptive sales tactics. Unresponsive building manager. Deceptive purchase agreement. No response from customer services. Some incredibly incompetent decision’s made to save a buck.

Kept being told this would be one of our happiest moments, had many issues and concerns still haven’t been addressed and have moved in still waiting to get some resolution. Luv my home but overall experience was horrible and still not able to enjoy our home. Very poor communication at the very beginning, still lack of her and now. Felt so rushed and pushed and thrown to the side. Hope no one else had to or will have to experience what we did. My realtor was the only one I felt that was really here helping and supporting us. Neighborhood is wonderful so far.. wouldn’t change anything

Wouldn’t recommend LENNAR to anyone still trying to get get doors flipped right side up no handles on doors took two months to get lights in rooms

Construction manager Patrick Diiorio has been rude, disrespectful and unresponsive when asked about status or had any concerns. He would respond only at his will and did not bother to even respond at times. He has to learn how to speak with customers, nobody is doing anybody any favors. A lot of the things could’ve been easily resolved with better communication

They changed the building code to have your drain pipe from your hvac system to drain in your master bedroom sink and it makes a loud gurgling sound every time the heater or a/c is turned on so it’s impossible to get sleep. They won’t come and reroute it either. I wish I would have used my realtor instead of their’s. I would not recommend using their loan officer, get your own! worst experience I have ever had buying a house. I will never buy another lennar home.

As an investor I'm not sure I would ever purchase from Lennar ever again. My experience with the Lennar team in Pensacola was a nightmare and frustrating. They have you come in and put blue tape on all imperfections and giving you full confidence that these items will be fixed only to have you come back on closing day to show you that the imperfections we're taken care of when they weren' knowing that you are closing later that day they assure you that these items will be taken care of then they don't follow through. They also did a switcharoo of the person conducting the walkthru between the initial walk thru and the final walk thru so that the person conducting the final walk thru has an excuse to say that he wasn't there and didn't know about xyz. I have photos of every imperfection I took that we taped during our initial walkthru and they did not fix these in full during the final walk thru. By then they have removed all the blue tape so you can only take them at their face value which isn't worth much at all. Crooked if you ask me. Then lennar financing calls you when you're 70% within the process with your mortgage lender and throws your mortgage lender under the bus and tries to snipe you away from your current lender after talking crap about them and offering us a lower rate if we increased the price on the sale price we already negotiated and finalized. I have all the call logs and emails between lennar mortgage and I during that time and my realtor was notified as well along with the loan officer and we both were astounded by the unprofessionalism of this company. Give me the reigns on running this entire pensacola branch and I will fire most of the personnelle as this isn't the gold standard you expect from a company who supposedly has ethics and integrity to uphold. They also have a 60+ page contract, that you must review in full... Skip a page and you end up with them taking the shirt off your back. There's alot of loopholes within the contract that is only beneficial for lennar... It is not anywhere near a standard farbar contract. I can go on and on but this is more than enough to reflect why I rated this company low. ... More

We closed the home a couple of months ago. The house was not ready to be closed due to several issues found during the final walkthrough. But we closed as they promised to fix all items on the same day. But they did not fix all issues. I had a terrible experience working with a few folks. After I moved into the house, I found several issues and reported them to Lennar’s warranty department, and waiting for their response. I went back to my apartment in NJ as no internet is available, and I needed to work from home. I fixed several issues associated with the washer. The dishwasher doesn’t work correctly. No power connection to the internet panels. No grounding rod is installed. Poor painting. Overall I had a very bad experience working with Lennar. Hopefully, they will learn one day how to treat customers with respect and gratitude. ... More

This was one of the most stressful processed I have been through. If we hadn't loved the floorplan and neighborhood I would have walked away from a $15K deposit. To say that communication was terrible is putting it lightly. It was essentially nonexistent. I sent 100s of emails that went completely ignored and unanswered. Our sales rep deliberately misled us to calm us down when we were really exhausted from the process. While he didn't outright lie he did mislead and showed highly unethical service. We were delayed time and time again. They even pushed our closing on the day of closing with no one telling us when the new day would be for another 5 days. When we finally got into our home there were still many items that were not completed, painting, doors, etc. The materials are cheap builder grade which is to be expected so I can't completely fault them there. On the positive the warranty team has been wonderful. If anyone is considering buying with Lennar I would be sure you really love the house and neighborhood and add 3 months on top of whatever they tell you is the timeline. Also, don't expect communication and be prepared to experience the worst customer services of your life. ... More

Working with Lennar was a nightmare. I’d heard negative stories from friends and my real estate agent about buying a home from Lennar, but I’m usually a pretty easy going guy, so I didn’t expect to actually have any issues with them. I was very wrong. Two of my friends who were also moving into this development backed out of their contract and sacrificed their $3,000 deposit because of how bad their bad experience was. Instead, they went with a DR Horton development and loved it. I decided to stick with Lennar, but in retrospect, I wish I would’ve backed out too. Their communication is horrible. They don’t respond to most emails, texts, or calls. They didn’t schedule a closing date and time with me until a couple of days before, which by that time, I’d already had travel plans and had to make adjustments. They changed the flooring for my house from what they had initially told me, and didn’t even bother to give me a heads up. They tried to strong-arm me into using Lennar’s lender, even threatening at one point that they weren’t going to let me close if I switched to my preferred Lender. On closing date, they promised that they’d have the certificate of occupancy from the city that same day. Because of that, I agreed to go ahead and close. However, when I went to get my keys the next day, they wouldn’t give them to me because they still hadn’t received the certificate. I felt tricked and manipulated. It was incredibly upsetting that I had just bought a house and couldn’t even get my keys to move it. Immediately after moving in, the garbage disposal and dishwasher stopped working. My mailbox key didn’t open my mailbox. Instead, it opened someone else’s mailbox. Lennar is having to reprint keys to my box, and to this day, I still can’t access my mail. But I can access my neighbors mail. They haven’t responded to me or given me any kind of update about when this will be fixed. A month in, and my cabinets are pulling away from the wall (which isn’t covered by warranty), so I have to fix the issue myself. I closed on my house over 6 weeks ago, and I still don’t have a working dishwasher or garbage disposal, I can’t even access my mail, and I’m having to fix cabinets. ... More

The only “positive” thing about this experience was that our home was done on time as promised by Lennar however there were A LOT of imperfections once we actually got in the house. Also not to mention that the home being done on time is the bare minimum from their end. We had our walk through scheduled the week before closing like it’s always done with any new construction. During our walkthrough we marked everything that needed to be corrected and very clearly communicated this with the construction manager. When we returned a week later for closing NOTHING had been done. There were a lot of paint touch ups that needed to be done, faucets to be fixed, towel holder was put at the wrong spot in the master bathroom, grout in bathrooms was discolored, tiles were dirty and stained, front door would not close right, elements missing from the house, paint was on the carpet in almost every room, backyard was not leveled before putting down the grass, and the list goes on with many many other big imperfections. On top of all of that there were no cleaners sent to clean the house before it being handed over to us. The house was dirty in every aspect. The day of closing we also expressed how the towel holders and paper towel holder they put in the bathroom are so outdated and looked horrible but instead of at least removing them for us and doing the drywall repair we were told by the construction manager that “his hands are tied”. We were told that the model homes we saw had the same ones , but it makes no sense to me how they took the initiative to put different different type of counters in the kitchen compared to the model home (flat instead of a breakfast bar) but could not put something more modern as the towel and toilet paper holders in the bathrooms. It is hypocritical that the house we got was different in some ways compared to the model home but only where it was convenient for them to be different without even notifying us of the differences. It would’ve been the least they could do for us after arriving there the day of closing with nothing being done. We spend the next month having numerous different workers come in the house fixing what should’ve already been fixed. The construction manager kept open communication with us and made sure most of the things got done, however, again, that is the bare minimum. Also would like to note that later we found out that the construction manager that was in charge of our home was on leave during the building process due to personal reasons which we completely understand, but I can confidently say we were MORE than patient and did not receive the above and beyond service we should’ve received to make up for this horrible experience. We are fist time homebuyers and we had the most awful experience with Lennar and with the entire home buying process as a whole. We will definitely never consider Lennar for our next home, or recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Do not recommend buying homes from Lennar ever. The home is fine, and we enjoy it compared to paying considerable amount of money to rental agencies, and we had to do a lot of work to our home after we purchased, in order for it to feel livable. The process of buying a home with Lennar was 0 out of 5 stars. We almost didn’t go through with the buying based on the communication and lack of willingness to fix issues with the home prior to close. We were so frustrated we were willing to lose our 3k deposit. If you do happen to buy a Lennar home, know that you will like your home as long as you invest your own energy into making it better. 100% get your own inspection done and be thorough. Give yourself a good 30-60 extra days before closing so you don’t get stuck with all the builders mistakes. And be prepared to spend extra out of pocket to upgrade the home or fix things they won’t fix because they’re not compassionate humans, and they work for a corporation that doesn’t allow them to admit fault anywhere. Process - 0 of 5 stars Home - 4 of 5 stars after we fixed all the issues and upgraded the builder grade install options Yard - 1 of 5 stars. Tree is nice and the irrigation is great to be connected to Yardbird, but the landscaping will have to be all redone. Our entire backyard is mud anytime it rains. ... More

Our sales agent lied about mortgage rate multiple times and then lied she never stated she had given us such a quote. I, the presence of my real estate agent, had repeated the quote several times back to her prior to shaking hands on the deal. She even had called a supervisor regarding our offer in front of us. She then stated it had been approved. When we had the contract a few hours later we were shocked to find the rate a point higher. When we called the mortgage agent she clarified it was to we 0.76 point higher, but still not the rate of 4.99%. No one could explain the reason for the change and we have excellent credit. Mortgage company was disorganized. Our mortgage agent and the underwriter agent efforts were redundant. Caused us nightmares with multiple requests for the same information. The names of documents and who might be able to supply them were confusing. We had to setup the two agents on a teleconference to clarify the multiple requests for the same documents. Additionally, we setup a teleconference between Fidelity and the underwriter’s agent to finally clarify that we had sent the correct documents. The underwriter kept asking for documents piecemeal over 11 week period to close. Closing was delayed because of it. We drove 50 miles to closing on the assigned date only to find out that financing was still up in the air despite being told that we were essentially approved. The mortgage agent told us it was still being processed and told us to leave the mortgage office immediately. Since we had come from Florida to complete the buying process this business added two extra days and plenty of stress to what should have been a happy process. We were just short of walking away from the deal, but we were coming back our hometown for my husband’s health. In discussions with other folks like our builder and our bank teller who helped with the cashier’s check.they both described terrible experiences with the mortgage division. Always thought Lennar made a quality home, do not think we will buy another home with them. Sorry, but we likely will advise friends and associates the same. ... More

It was my worst experience buiding a home . Quality is extremely poor, standards are very low for the premium price that was paid. Most of the workers don't speak English and try to do a quick very poor job . Would not recommend them to anyone

I just moved in to this brand new construction and I found out how bad the finishing and the materials quality are poor: all doors and baseboards are chipped, the guest bathroom tub is broken, toilette lid is broken in the master, appliances have dents, garage walls and ceilings not painted, cracks in the garage ceiling and concrete, cracks on the patio concrete, etc I submitted a SR to have things fixed before I move in to the house and they insisted in doing an online inspection even though I informed I have no internet connected in the house and the 5G signal was bad. All Service Requests have been close as they have been fixed and never have done anything yet. Very bad experience ! ... More

Lennar finance was awful in communication. The house itself is good but communication in Lennar is terrible
