Lennar Reviews

Drywall and painting of our home was rushed and it shows. We have crooked wall as well. The lack of concern from our project manager during walk throughs was terrible even though he promised all of our concerns would be addressed and corrected.

Each day is a discovery of so Erving else not working correctly, having to deal with rude contractors, or experiencing an issue with trying to get resolve a repair that’s been “fixed” poorly. Also, this lot is way too close to other neighbors. When a contractor friend of mine stated, “when someone pays over half a million dollars for a home, they shouldn’t have these kinds of issues”, the response from the Lennar customer service manager, “Everyone is paying that price for these houses”. Does that mean it’s okay the workmanship is awful?

In this area, spend more money with a builder who is known to produce a more quality build. It will be worth it and a better protection of your investment.

know you will have to spend lots of time calling and waiting for your issues to get resolved, and some will never get resolved even after they acknowledge there is a problem.

Waiting on work to be finish 6 months after closing

The beginning of the process started fine, the sales department knows how to pull emotional strings. Lennar’s tag line of “everything’s included” is only true for luxury homes. Every room in the home I purchased has issues with quality and poor installation, just barely to squeeze by the building code. Sod was laid over garbage in the yard and patched together with a variety of grasses. All in all, I paid for a roof and walls. There were no quality checks during construction. I had to contact the mortgage department (Lennar was the lender) twice as my HOA almost sent me to collections. The HOA dues collected at closing were not sent to the HOA and would not have been sent if I hadn’t pointed out their oversight. I will never purchase a Lennar home again, and I should have done my research as colleagues told me later of situations either they had or heard about regarding Lennar. ... More

I am an existing homeowner believed Lennar for best home home buying experience. However, it is not same after closing. Be aware of the promises. Do not blindly trust by brand name. Know the fact that there are very good other builders. If there is no other option other than going with Lennar, please prepare for nightmares.

I believe they hired the least qualified people they could find. I have had problems with so many areas of this house that I may try sell it before the one year warranty has expired. My neighbor's have expressed the same feelings that I have. The best part about this house is the neighborhood. My neighbors are great. And it's very attractive here. But the quality is terrible. It seems as though no one inspected any part of this house as it was being built.

Poor workmanship, seemed disinterested when we expressed our concerns. The third stall garage stall measured smaller than on the blue prints. Therefore we are unable to fit a small car in that garage, which we had planned to do.

Customer service was horrible. Promises on timelines were all not met. Several issues in the house.

This was not a good experience as I am still dealing with issues 5 months later. The salesperson and closing agents did a great job with the buying process and tried to help me as much as possible. Communication with them to get things repaired that their vendors created is terrible and seems to be eventually forgotten and erased. If I don’t follow up, they will not and then the process starts all over again. I am truly disappointed. This is just my experience which is very stressful.

1. Lennar Mortgage - easy to deal with, competent mortgage officer. 2. Lennar Title - titled our unit to 3 other buyers who actually purchased other units. Seems someone didn't change the unit number when preparing the titles. When we went to the tax collector's office we found out about the title issue. This prevented us from applying for our homestead exemption until it was corrected. Luckily the Lennar Title was fixed just in time. 3. Lennar sold our mortgage within 3 weeks of moving in. Our mortgage included a buy down, which was an incentive, so we would use Lennar mortgage. The buy down is for 3 years and allows use to pay a lower monthly payment with the remainder paid by Lennar. Seems no one told the company that purchased the mortgage. I sent the first payment as directed to the new Mortgage company only to get an invoice for the entire monthly mortgage payment. It took me having to go through several people and emailing of documents to prove there was a buy down. Luckily that was completed and the buy down payment was accepted just before the payment would have been late. 4. We have a small cat that we lost one night in the unit. We could hear her meow but could not find her. Finally I looked under the cabinets in the kitchen and she had gotten through a space between the kickboard and bottom of the cabinets. There was anywhere between a two and five inch gab all across the cabinets and kickboards around the kitchen, kitchen island and both bathrooms. The cabinet installer came out and put in new kickboards. The issue was solved timely. 5. Construction of the unit- very poor. It seems the construction workers are paid by the job and they rush through without really taking care that the job is done correctly. We had paint and glue on the title floors, which we were able to scrape up. That was not a big deal. The floor tiles had and some still have writing where measures were taken. Not a big deal comes up with four of nine. The electrical outlets in the second bathroom did not work. Seems the electrician crossed the wires. Was repaired timely. There was a chip in the tub from, it appears tile falling on it. Was somewhat repaired, but acceptable. It seems that there was no final inspection performed once the work was completed. 5. Plumbing. Our unit is a first floor end unit, which is Lennar's biggest condo unit in Terrace Condos. Every time our upstairs neighbors flush their toilet it sounds like Niagara falls coming down the walls. We complained to the customer service agent for Lennar and at first we were told there was nothing that could be done. There is sound proofing in the ceilings and that should control the noise. It did not and I complained again to the customer service agent, who actually got upset and asked if I wanted a plumber to come out and open the ceiling so I could see the sound proofing and I accepted her offer, however that never happened. My wife ended up sending an email to Lennar's CEO and after that we received a call from the customer service agent who offered to have Rice insulation come out to check and make sure the PVC pipes were insulated. Rice came and found none of the four inch PVC pipes were insulated, which is a code violation, so I don't know how the walls were put on without it. Rice wrapped the pipes the best they could. The walls were sealed back up and we can still hear the water, which we again reported to Lennar's customer service agent, who again got upset and told my wife we should have purchased a fourth floor condo, which we would have done except for health issues. She further stated she wasn't going to do anything more concerning the water noise. Checking with a neighbor who has the same unit they have no water noise issues. My neighbor next door has no water noise issue. The neighbor above me has the exact same issue. Lennar's construction crew did not insulate our stacked end units, which is poor. ... More

Lennar built its homes sloppily. Poor appliances. Cheap carpet padding. Cheap bath fixtures. The woman who walked us through houses (Priscilla) wanted absolutely nothing to do with me after the sale. No guidance. Nothing. I ended up getting new appliances after 3 months and the company who installed my new ones said they’d never seen such sloppy work with the garbage and cans and nails left behind the old appliances. Dishwasher installed crookedly. Patio door lock broken. I got push back on some of my complaints which I don’t expect when I buy a house Smoke alarm so close to kitchen I had to wave towels to cook so alarm wouldn’t go off. Until I got the new appliances. Hmmmm. The customer is always right certainly does not apply here. ... More

Purchased a silver leaf, was the only one who did not get a covered patio , was told our fence was going to be finished and never gotten any responses from managers.

A lot of little details were left undone just to push the sale. Plants were dead not enough mulch irrigation heads messed up water bill has been high because of lack of repair. A/C unit went out in 3 months.

My wife and I purchased a home from Lennar back in October 2019. And we wished we would of done more research. We love our townhome. But it seems lennar utilizes inexpensive and low quality materials.

There warranty is a joke

The home Lennar delivered to me and my family was full of issues - and still is - and their people seem not to care.

Sales Team was great, transparent and enthusiastic through out the purchase process. However, construction team (Kyle) was pathetic and unprofessional. Issues from first walk through are still open even after 4.5 months from closing! Hundreds of follow-ups needed to get issues fixed whatever are fixed till date. Have the records of all calls and messages sent to Construction Engineer Kyle. He has stopped answering calls too for 1.5+ months now. Kyle has behaved unprofessionally on multiple occasions (f* words to Lennar for his high workload, not returning calls/messages, not appearing at home for issue fixing even after fixing the date etc.). Very minor issue requiring literally 5mins of attention (e.g. caulking around sink faucet) were kept open for months and needed dozens of follow-ups to get those fixed. Still, few issues from closing sheet are open after 4.5 months since closing! Very frustrating!! Feel free to contact me for any specific details on any statement written here. ... More

Sales people are not professional.

We were excited to be buying a brand new home in a great community. We trusted our construction manager that they were resolve issues and unfortunately we are now five months later and still battling to have items fixed. Do not trust them and get everything in writing.

We bought our home less than 6 months ago and we had several serious issues that could have been prevented with proper supervision and workmanship. Without going into details, we have dealt with issues from flooding garage, improperly built shower (water behind tiles and on sill), to cracks and bumps on the ceiling. We had to place multiple work orders for new and existing issues. We must take time off from work to get these issues resolved and have had contractors not show up at all. When the work is not up to standards contractors point fingers at each other and customer service ends up denying the claim and leaving you stranded to pay for the repair out of packet. We dealt with deceiving contractors that say they fix something when we aren’t home, but the issue remains, and our security system shows them being on site for less than 12 minutes. We have also dealt with contractors that do not speak English and get frustrated if you don’t understand what they are saying. Same contractors that incorrectly make repairs are sent to your home again to fix issues. There are a few contractors we have dealt with that are qualified and get the job done right, but we have unfortunately mostly dealt with the opposite. We are disappointed with Lennar to say the least and should have probably “bought a better-quality custom home” as suggested by the customer service rep. ... More

I was initially pleased with watching our home being built from the ground up however as it came time to close on the property things started going Awry. We picked out a corner lot and was advised by the agent this would all be our land. As they lay the sod we began to notice they weren’t filling in the corner side of the home. As we did our first walk through blue taping things that would need to be completed before move in the house was covered with blue tape. When we came back to complete our final walk through we noticed hardly anything was completed. Our home was still covered in blue tape with we met with the head guy who apologized for the work not being done no excuse this happened to be our closing day. While going over the unfinished items I asked about the side of the home not being completed with sod it was then after paying an additional $2500 for a corner lot we were advised it didn’t belong to us and they couldn’t rezone the area. My neighbor owns the same amount of land that I do but $2500 less to not have a neighbor on side of them?? After informing them this was the reason we purchased the corner lot because we have a small child and would be throwing birthday parties and family gatherings. I was then told I could still use the property for those things. Needless to say about a month later they put all kind of landscaping making it impossible to use the land. Not to mention other things that were wrong with the home like cabinets, paint, uneven windows, first floor isn’t cool as second floor just to name a few. With a promise and handshake we were assured all things would be taken care of and we could close on the home with no worries. We did just that only to come back after hours and find out the work wasn’t completed. I will not purchase another Lennar home!!! ... More

Beginning with so much promises and still waiting for them to be fulfilled. So much stuff that is not done ✅ correctly done without care nor Quality there’s some stuff so bad that are already falling apart and we haven’t even being in the home for 5 months, starting from bad finishing job on cabinets, walls with horrible cracks, caulking and pain horribly done throughout the home, ships in shower bath floor. There’s lots of things that could being done right the first time before is given to the homeowner and run a right and good inspection, so Quality of products and workmanship they use is horrible very poor, inexperience who do not care about providing decent quality or good quality; horrible job in lots of stuff that every homeowner expects to be good quality. Builder claims top Quality, best and biggest throughout the US, but after this they prove otherwise very poor customer service, horrible materials and workmanship “very poor quality, ” Home not turn in or given to standard. ...

We were very happy with our experience with Lennar until it came time to close on our home. There were several things not completed but we were told that as long as the house was structurally sound we needed to close even though we wished to wait till everything was done. Once we closed it was almost impossible to get them to come back and fix things even though we were told these would all be taken care of right away. We were continually given dates and times that trades would be coming to work on things, paint, cupboards, carpet, tile, windows, only to have them not show up or bother to call to say they would not be coming. I should also note that often when trades came they did an awful job and repeat visits were needed to resolve the issues. We literally had to texted our customer service rep every day in order to get the things done that needed to be. We also contacted a supervisor who promised to come see our issues and get them resolved as soon as possible. This supervisor never showed up and we were never able to get in touch with him again. It has taken almost six months to get the majority of our issues completed and we still have minor little things that still require adjusting. This is our third new house build and we have never had issues like this before. We love our home but we would not recommend working with Lennar until they can work on their lack of follow through and customer service. Getting a new home is suppose to be a fun and joyful experience but when you move into a brand new unfinished home that you need to fight with the builder to get completed it becomes very stressful and anything but joyful. ...
