Lennar Reviews

Sales team is terrible and made this experience not worth it. Builders were good and the project manager and QA representative were great. But with the issues with the sales team and concierge and the lack of respect for the buyer having an agent made this experience sub par. Would never build with Lennar again

I’m in the military and my wife was going to be closing by herself. Just like every other time, I made a power of attorney authorizing my wife to conduct all legal matters. It took multiple explanations that my wife would be closing in the house and I would’ve unavailable and Lennar acted like that wasn’t possible. Even wanted a written explanation why I wouldn’t be available. That information is not only unnecessary due to having a POA but confidential due to military operations. On the day of closing Lennar never even showed up and missed the time they put out for the closing. Upon finally closing we couldn’t even get into the house because they gave us the wrong code. ...

Two months dealing with breaker issue in bedrooms, still not resolved. Losing power every week once they think it is corrected. Large ant hills around property, now my issue to deal with, HOA too restrictive on storm team colors, making us use very dark brown on White House’s, HOA using my wrong email address on denial letter, now asking for another month to review colors they are making me use. Just too difficult for the price of this house.

I would not recommend Lennar based purely off the customer service. I received my keys one week after closing, as it was the first time going to the investment house far from where I live. I entered the home and hot water is blasting in all sinks and tubs given it was also the weekend of a freeze. The builders opened all the faucets to protect the house, which is a good thing, however, I am having to pay the water bill for faucets that I did not open. And prior to even visiting the house. This is absolutely insane. I issued the water bill with exact times that the water was running to the office and they are only covering half of a $220 water bill, despite knowing I did not open these faucets. I should not be responsible for stuff prior to my visit to the new investment house. ... More

I was disappointed in my experience as the communication from all teams involved was inconsistent and created financial burden for me. I went through three different mortgage people with no awareness of the changes happening, my move in date changed multiple times with no communication and my sales team just blamed everyone else. This is a big company and the multiple failure points was very disappointing. Take ownership within each team for each family.

Lennar very aggressive closing date, wasn't very accommodating.

Although the home buying experience was pleasant and the people professional, the quality of the home is unsatisfactory. The fire alarms had old batteries and went off several times, resulting in the fire dept coming to our house. An outside irrigation line was broken underground and resulted in a completely soggy back yard. Chinch bugs destroyed our front yard and Lennar simply plopped new sod directly in top of the bad grass.The back yard is comprised of more weeds than good grass. Our trees were not tethered and leaned over badly in a wind storm. This is the fourth new house we have owned and, by far, the worst home we have purchased, regardless of builder. I cannot recommend Lennar to a potential home buyer. ... More

The title company doesn´t respond emails. It´s really a shame

I think it's like any other townhome community. As far as the building when you basically are doing copy and paste construction there should be no flaws, sloppy workmanship happens.

Sloppy finish work on floors and trim work caulking. Ramon very helpful in trying to resolve issues. Learned I really received NO buyers incentives of any value when it was all said and done. Love the community and Floorplan, but cannot say I'm over the moon happy with everything.

Communication was a big issue during this process. I diffinitely would not recommend using Lennar Lenders. My sales representative Laura went Mia after the signing of paperwork. No photos were sent during building process as promised. There's been some issues after purchase that been addressed immediately i must say customer service after the purchase has been great. I love my house and my community. Didn't like the process at all.

This is the first time we have bought a home. We decided to go with a new build in the Woodruff area. The sales people and finance people were great. Once we were in the home it was hard to get a hold of the HOA over our neighborhood. I will say to read the CCRs before you put down any earnest money. They are not transparent about that. We have a few pets a lots of children. We wanted to put up a fence. They say explicitly that you can’t do chain link or wood fences. They want you to get a black picket fence. There are two other homes in the area with white vinyl fencing. So we decided to go ahead and ask for the white vinyl as the dogs can jump over the black picket fencing and there is no privacy with those. The HOA approved our request but only with constant hounding. It took months for an approval and they have it written in the CCRs that they can take as long as they want to get back to the home owners with an answer. Well, we decide to go ahead and order the materials and get a contractor to schedule us for install. Two days before the installation of our new fence the HOA sends another email stating that they have to revoke our approval because Lennar “the builder” decided they don’t want us to have white vinyl and we have to stick with the black picket fencing. The HOA even wrote in an email to me stating that they are all for the change to include the more modern fencing options but they can’t do anything against Lennar. Now I have to spend more money on legal counsel and will be looking to sell my property if we can’t get this settled. By the way, we can’t get a straight answer for anything, Lennar points us to the HOA and then the HOA points us back to Lennar. I highly recommend doing all of your due diligence. If you are a new home buyer please please read your CCRs before committing to anything. Lennar is not on the home buyers side, they only want you to buy their homes. I mean we are working to bring up the value of our homes and feel comfortable in them. ... More

The home buying experience was unfortunately horrible. Each step of the way we were rushed to make important decisions and make large payments without fully understanding the process. Complete and written guidance was not provided to us in advance. The staff tended to appear as if they were looking out solely for themselves/Lennar, rather than the customer, oftentimes cutting corners or excluding critical information.

It seemed to me that the communication was lacking, we had to buy from Lennar because it was a new home, but I would not recommend them as a mortgage company.

Hard to contact responsible party.

The construction side was great, they were attentive, prompt, fixed any issues right away, communicated well. The mortgage side was awful. They messed numbers up three times, over a month later told us we weren’t qualified to begin with, all because they never factored in 3/4 of our income from the very start. Too many people to talk to, no one knows what’s going on. Concerning payoffs is a joke. We paid down 90% of what we owed, provided more than enough proof that we did so, then argued that we had to pay Lennar the full amount still, we did. Lennar told us they’d cut us a check for the full amount we owed then other companies would pay us back the difference. That’s not what happened which led to more confusion. Horrible experience on the mortgage side. Never again will we buy Lennar nor recommend the company based on that. You’d get more stars if it was even slightly better, but it wasn’t. It cost us a few thousand more because we had to keep renting because no one could get their act together and figure simple things out that were on the most basic level of their job description. ...

Loan officer Craig was horrible and I almost lost the Lennar home based on all the mistakes he was making. Sam and Jennifer were great

My main point of issue with Lennar was their response times to emails, calls or texts. This especially goes to Tracy their salesperson, Julie in Finance and Lennar Title. Many errors on paperwork that took forever to fix. Once 5pm arrived, Tracy was nowhere to be found and when I finally moved in, no call, text or email to congratulate me from Tracy our salesperson. Every time I dealt with her, it was a job, albeit there were times she was great. Overall, Lennar was unorganized and left me out to dry quite often. I want to point out that Carlos in QA was a bright spot. He was very effective and his response times were superb. ... More

Very frustrating with the process and arduous data requirements. Although the staff was helpful they seem to be hindered by rules that are arbitrary and rigid. In the past 15 years we have purchased several properties and with a credit ratings above 850 we had to do the preponderance of work where in other loan companies we do very little of that.

La experiencia con la propiedad como tal es buena pero en lo que concierne al cierre es desastroza

There were just too many missing accessories, unfinished items, broken tiles. And no opportunity to give input into appliances or needed vents, such as in the garage.

The grass seed they put in has sooo many weeds. Im not sure why, but the grass in the back coming up is mostly weeds, not grass. Lennar gets things done quickly, but with that comes some sacrifices. One of the vents wasn't even cut correctly, so the grate didnt even fit in the hole. They just left it on top and my father in law had to fix it. Theres also paint marks from the black door on the white interior paint, there's caulk on the sliding back door, etc.

i really dont have a good experience during the entire process. unprofessionalism is there. the team is not helpful and giving so much stress and worriedness.

All-in all i think I got good value.. the quality seems decent for the price though its only been a few months I have had no issues. The only upsetting part of the transaction was that it was made clear my closing date was set in stone and could not be changed (i asked to move it up even 3 days and was ignored). On the day of closing it seemed nobody knew i was closing. I reached out to my realtor a few days prior as i'd heard nothing and she didnt respond. I sent a frustrated email the day before closing because I hadn't heard a thing and finally got a response that was quick and impersonal - check your welcome email basically. The day of closing I asked Lennar who was doing my walkthrough and it seemed they forgot again I was supposed to walk through the home to confirm all the repairs had been made before I signed papers. Someone rushed over 1 hour before i signed and did a very quick rushed tour of the house. I noticed other neighbors had signs hanging on their garage with their names saying welcome to the neighborhood. I got nothing. In fact a few days later my sales person drove by and parked just outside my driveway and wouldnt even look at me when I attempted to wave or say hi. Very rude honestly.. I didnt feel very good about the whole process after I had been forgotten the day of closing and it was Lennar that insisted I close on that day without any alterations. I think if I didnt start sending a ton of emails and calls the day before I never would have closed. The worst part is! i found out the day before closing my street didnt have internet and there was no timeframe for when we would. It took over a month after closing to get internet. Who in this day and age can survive with no internet in their home? And to not even mention this untli day before closing!! ... More

My realtor was amazing and caught quite a few financial mistakes.
