Lennar Reviews

Closing process was poorly managed, unprofessional.

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION !WE WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT A DELAY ON OUR HOME BEING BUILT UNTIL WE MADE LENNAR AWARE THAT OUR HOUSE WAS RUNNING MONTHS BEHIND.... WE CLOSED 2 MONTHS AFTER THEIR "WORST CASE SCENARIO DATE". THEY HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED AND THEY DO NOT COMMUNICATE WELL WITH EACH OTHER OR THE CONSUMER... MAIN PROBLEM IS ETTA , HE A SALESMAN AT LENNAR AND TELLS EVERYONE THAT LENNAR STANDS BEHIND WHAT THEY DO, BUT THATS NOT THE CASE... THEY HAVE SCREENED IN PORCH AS A STANDARD FEATURE ON ALL OF THEIR HOMES IN WILLOW SQUARE. ETTA TOLD US THEY DID NOT INCLUDE IT IN OUR ORDER AND THAT THEY WILL NOT INSTALL IT, EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE INSTALLED EVERYONE ELSES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SAID WE COULD FIND SOMEONE TO INSTALL IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1500.00 TO 2,000.00 DOLLARS. WE GO TO OUR CLOSING AND WAITED 3 HOURS TO GO HOME HEARTBROKEN AND CONFUSED. ETTA WOULD NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE WHILE WE WERE WAITING, AND WHEN HE FINALLY DID - 3 HRS WAITING AT THEIR OFFICE - HE SAYS THE COUNTY DID NOT SIGN OFF ON A FORM.... AND NO APOLOGY , OK ATLEAST TELL US INSTEAD OF HAVING US TAKE OFF WORK FOR NOTHING! AFTER WE CLOSED AND MOVED THEY FAILED TO INSTALL SEVERAL THINGS AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR ONLY TO GET AN ANSWER FROM ETTA SAYING THERES NO USE, I HAVE ALREADY ASKED THE MANAGER , AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER... THEY ALSO RAISED THE PRICE DUE TO " MARKET CONDIITIONS" AND TRIED TO PLAY A GAME OF BIDDING WARS EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO OTHER BUYERS BIDDING, THEY JUST SAID THIS IS THE NEW PRICE - 30K HIGHER THAN ADVERTISED. SO IN SHORT THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY GOODWILL TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY, AND TELL THE CONSUMER WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR! ... More

Poor workman ship Had to request VP sales to assist me to get things fixed

I just bought the home and the appliances needed to switched out abs a bathroom leak started. All of this is putting my property on pause for a month due to lack of builders attention and appliances are the worse!

Lennar builds decent homes with functional floor plans, but they have no scruples and will keep on smiling while they ignore any request you make and any obligation they have to create decent communities. Their sales agents were unhelpful and unresponsive, their main office staff were rude, and they sold the houses on BOTH sides of me to an investor who’s now rented one to people who are violating our city occupancy limits. The tenants have five cars parked up and down the block, and trash in the front yard. The house on the other side of me sits empty and abandoned, but honestly that’s better than the alternative. It’s sad to think that in a neighborhood where houses cost from the high $500s to the mid $700s, Lennar cares so little about what happens once they pull out and move on. They’re the very definition of a slick self-serving corporation. My region is high-growth with skyrocketing home prices and very low inventory, so when we wanted to downsize we had few options, but if I had to do it again, I’d definitely buy from the other builder in the neighborhood who is local, and skip corporate, faceless Lennar. ...

We had a leak in the plumbing in the slab of the guest bath and foyer the first week we moved in. Two months later, I am still waiting to have my guest bath put back together and the punch list of issues and missing items taken care of.

Quality of work on the house wasn’t what we expected. There’s a lot of things that still need to be fixed and it’s been 2 since I closed. They need to be more attentive to there customers.

I was forced to to close by 2/28/22 and there are list of 22 pages long of repairs are taken until now are nit repaired yet. The home did not have hot water and no appliances until a week ago.

Buy elsewhere. Trust me on this one.

Cheaper than other builder you get a lot of appliances at no cost but then he cannot change other things

DO NOT USE LENNAR MORTGAGE. THEY HAVE DECEPTIVE PRACTICES AND EXCERSISE DISCRIMINATORY LENDING PRACTICES. YOU WILL FILE A COPLAINT AGAINST THEM LIKE I WILL BE DOING.!! BEWARE!

Take your time during the final inspection. Do not close on your home until the corrections are completed. We have been waiting for over six weeks for the pavers to be replaced in the lani. The granite used in the kitchen is not sealed properly causing permament stains. The granite installation company and Lennar have stated the granite is defected in many homes in Lorraine Lakes but have informed home owners they will not replace the defective granite.

I'm just glad it's over, and I'll leave it right there!

Substantial unreimbursed costs associated with multiple closing commitment delays. Terrible painting and painting followup.

Be prepared to accept an unfinished home. I closed 7 weeks ago and have white raw drywall mud all over my walls, a horribly stained pool, nothing covering the attic openings, broken exterior trim, unpainted sections of exterior walls, etc. All with no hope that it will ever get completed. This is my third new Lennar home in 6 years, and I am still stunned that I live in such an incomplete house.

To be honest since day one I've been having bad experience with Lennars Home from the day I gave my deposit until my closing date plus things that currently have not been fixed when I was advised it will only take a week after my closing date. Just unacceptable.

We bought this house for a family member. There were so many issues with it at the walk through we were told by their foreman Jake that it could take weeks to get it finished. I explained to Jake, Ray, the salesman and the person at the walk through that since we lived out of town we would require 72 hours notice to plan a trip back to do the final walk through before closing. The closing was scheduled for less than a week away. They all said ok, we understand. Fast forward a few days and we are told that even if they don't get anything done inside the house we would be closing on the specified day and they would just address the issues under warranty. I was not happy with that option but I was told that I would be held in default of the contract and lose my $50k+deposit even though they weren't done, if we didnt close when they wanted. The upstairs closet door actually opens into another door and uses the other door frame is its door stop. Terrible design there and the same for the office door downstairs Jake, the construction foreman is extremely rude. Horrible people, horrible company. So sorry to have met them. ... More

There have been multiple issues with my home buying purchase from the Lennar mortgage all the way to the construction team that still over two months after closing has not completed the punch list or things that need to be addressed. The customer service has been terrible. I wouldn’t recommend ever buying a home from Lennar.

Lennar touts its next gen line of homes. The design is good but the construction process and closing process are poor. There needs to be more supervision and follow up on the Project Manager. They rush to close but provide homes that are incomplete and have to go through a tedious exception process through a customer care coordinator to complete repairs after close who is not quick on following up and coordinating issues. They are polite. However, Verbal acknowledgements and texts are made but poor follow through and accountability. They come and fix some things ignoring other concerns Then they try to close tickets without fully completing the work. There are several homes in this subdivision that have had issues. Not a good customer experience at all. Two months later I still have several concerns. Only after complaining a lot there Management gets involved and resolves issues. A customer should not have to go through all the hassles. ... More

My experience was horrible since we felt were forced to sign on a house that wasnt to our liking. I had a better experience with KB homes then Lennar. I expected more from Lennar since theyre "BETTER" then KB homes but my experience with KB was excellent compared to Lennar. My home feels like it was slapped together just for us to sign and move in.

Not a good experience at all. Quality is not a priority. Management has worked to make things right. However, the experience is ruined and the home is not what we expected.

Poor experience. House built poorly. Still finding garbage everywhere they put the sod down over garbage I had to pull roof shingles out from underneath my lawn. Very disappointed.

Long story short, 47 days after closing on my property I am not able to move-in due to several deficiencies that violate building codes, industry standards, manufacturer’s requirements, and/or required building performance standards as identified by a structural engineer. A week ago, the county issued a correction order. Lennar Homes knew of several deficient areas prior to settlement and still forced me to close or lose my deposit and closing costs ($80K). Given the situation, I had no choice but to purchase the property. I am now working with the Customer Care Department to make all corrections. I am not pleased and this process has been a total and complete nightmare. All of this could have been avoided if the property was built correctly. ... More

I have owned over 20 homes through out the years and this is the worst experience thus far . I have been in the home over 6 weeks and still with a lot of unresolved issues . The last issue that happened yesterday is that they came to replaced the masters bedroom carpet and in the process they damaged the frame of the closet door and even forgot to put it back in it’s place . I will have to spend another day from my business schedule to wait for work men again. This is just not acceptable and the list goes on ….

They wil lie, lie, lie. Tried to overcharge me after signing purchase agreement. Made our bathroom wrong and flat out refused to fix it. The workmanship is very sloppy. Scores of paint drips, uneven cabinets, uneven fixtures, chips and scrapes, capet staples, countless crooked screws. Never fixed a stain in pantry ceiling, 10 days after closing water was dripping through, bad pipe ceiling had to be cut open. Was given garage code by title company, doesnt work. Have yet to put in tile in the bathroom that was agreed before closing. Vitural closing was a breeze, recommened it.
