Lennar Reviews

Lennar is a horrible company to purchase a home from. Very poor quality. They cut corners wherever possible. Paint quality is horrible. Do not buy a Lennar home in Idaho

My experience with Lennar was the worst I could have ever imagined. The Concierge person that I initially worked with never explained a process of a priority list which made us go into a contract on a house we were not 100% satisfied with, this house is on $3M+ price, corporate office was NO help, nobody cared about our concerns. I wrote emails to corporate hoping for some answers because the Concierge rep lied to us and corporate didn't care. Lennar doesn't care about its clients or their experience. Do Not buy from Lennar.

I really dont recommend buying home with Lennar. They are not honest. They fixed a faulty appliance and never helped to replace.

Awful experience. Do not recommend to anyone

The worst buying experience. Very stressful process. Their priority is to get you to sign at all costs

I would not recommend Lennar’s financing to prospective buyers. My experience with the loan process was frustrating, with numerous issues that could have been avoided. The required Letters of Explanation (LOEs) felt intrusive and unnecessary—other lenders I was working with didn’t require similar documentation. The only reason I ended up using Lennar was because I signed a disclosure agreeing not to use another lender within 30 days of closing. However, Lennar moved my closing date up by a month without providing an addendum, which added to the frustration. My dissatisfaction continued when I was threatened by Kelsey K., the Lennar Concierge Agent. She told me that if I didn’t use Lennar as my lender, they would cancel my purchase just days before closing. This seemed entirely unreasonable and put me in a position where I felt I had no choice but to go with Lennar. I reached out via email, cc’ing several individuals (Diane B., Cameron B., and Lori T.), but I received no follow-up or assistance other than from Kelsey and she barely answered any other questions other than sending me a copy of where I signed the disclosure. It was incredibly disappointing, especially considering the lack of customer service. Regarding the loan team, I had a relatively new agent, Cole A., and there was a lack of consistency. Someone was always on vacation, which made information transfer difficult and delayed the process. Similarly, I had two loan processors, John and Chevon, during the few weeks leading up to closing. John was excellent, proactive in communicating, and always made sure I had the information I needed. However, Chevon was responsive, preferring to only communicate by email, which made it harder to resolve issues quickly. Speaking directly on would have saved a few days of back-and-forth. On a positive note, the QA and construction teams were much easier to work with compared to the administrative side. Overall, the experience with Lennar financing was unsatisfactory, and I would advise potential buyers to be cautious and seek alternatives. ... More

The whole experience except our sales person has been AWFUL. And it’s still awful, we have so many issues still not fixed. Our closing documents were lost for 5 days and almost made us homeless after closing was pushed back 5-6 times. We never got an actual move in clean and now I cannot get my floors clean and there’s residue all over that I cannot get off windows, counters, etc. we have damage to our siding from when they installed the sod which is only half the yard btw they wrecked into our house, still not repaired. Lennar is the least helpful with the most incompetent people working for them, always giving the runaround, no accountability but you had better do what THEY need asap or your deal can fall through. I had to do so much of the work myself bc if I didn’t we wouldn’t hear from anyone including our “liaison” I don’t remember what he’s called but we were supposed to be contacted weekly and that NEVER happened but when I’d reach out for updates he wasn’t very pleasant. For as much as they charge for these homes the experience is just INSANE. I 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING LENNAR.. ... More

terrible warranty service. They do not want to honor their home warranty

If i could go back in time and tell myself to not do it i would!!!! Rude incompetent people. No communication. I will never EVER suggest Lennar to ANYONE not even my worst enemy. Please save yourself the money, headache, and gray hairs and buy from literally any other builder. You would think they would try and make the first time i’m buying a home pleasant but NOPE. Seriously DO NOT BUY LENNAR.

The amount paid of the house is too much as compared to quality of materials used in the house. False information provided that Lennar don't install blinds for windows and gutter line. I have checked other houses build in the same area with lennar builder and they all have blinds and gutter line. Builder don't response to the email after they sale you the house. Lots of space was wasted in building the house like big bathroom and no store closed provided

Where to start. We showed up with keys in hand to a house with trash outside, paint on almost every exterior window, side paneling was bowed, flooding, nails all over roof, which all of this was called out on our inspection and walk through 2 and 4 weeks prior. We were lied to on multiple occasions. We had to change our move in date as almost every single side panel had to be replaced, then the entire interior had to be repainted which in turn pushed our movers and painters back. The "management" team had poor communication and acted like we put them out. Very unprofessional, took no accountability, lied to me more than once, and once we signed off, good luck getting anything else done. We have uneven walls, baseboards, nail heads, etc. Oh! And we have a soaker tub 80 gallon and Lennar only installs a 50 gallon hot water heater... false advertisement! I cant even fill my tub with hot water. We will not recommend Lennar to anyone and especially not the local team here. Very disappointed. ... More

Treated like second class citizens AFTER closing.

Quality is pretty poor and we were lied to about a lot of pricing

This is the third house I have bought in my life and by far the worst homebuying experience I have ever had. They pushed back my closing twice and tried to push it back a third time, despite very little work being left to complete when I looked at the house 2 months prior. They did not fix all of the problems that were identified during my independent inspection, despite saying that they would and that they did. I had to have 3 final walkthroughs as they hardly fixed any of the issues that were identified during the first walkthrough, and they had still not fixed them all during the third walkthrough. Some were never fixed. They shorted me 5 ft. of sod. The washing machine drain pipe was blocked and flooded my house the first time I washed a load of laundry. The toilet in one of the bathrooms was cracked and leaking onto the floor. ... More

By far the most frustrating experience of a lifetime. All my financial records I submitted somehow disappeared. Buying process was confusing. No loyalty to those that were on the magical list. Withholding of vital information about the lot. Poor workmanship on concrete, paint, and framing. Would NEVER recommend to anyone.

overall quality below industry standard, extremely dishonest . I couldn't ever in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

I regret purchasing a home built by Lennar. From the start, the quality of work has been subpar—sloppy finishes, poorly installed fixtures, and noticeable shortcuts in construction. It’s clear that attention to detail was not a priority. Trying to get repairs done has been a nightmare. I’ve contacted their team multiple times, and either get no response or I’m passed from one person to another with no resolution. The agent I dealt with during the buying process was unhelpful and dismissive once the sale was finalized. They made plenty of promises before closing, but completely disappeared afterward. If you’re considering buying a Lennar home, I strongly recommend thinking twice. You’ll be left dealing with problems they should have fixed from the start—with no one to take accountability. ...

PRETTY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH MY NEW HOME WITH LENNAR, After fully trusting the company for the build quality, I've unfortunately encountered several issues that I believe should not be present in a brand new home. While minor issues can be expected, I have discovered significant problems, including water leaks and siding bumps. These are considerable concerns that have caused me and my family great deal of stress.

Terrible service, the construction team all told us to let them know directly if there were any issues but never answered calls or texts when we reached out.

If I can give zero stars I would. This is the first time buying a house and I’ll never buy a house with lennar again.

The home buying experience felt extremely rushed and disorganized. During my final walkthrough, key components of the home were still incomplete—including the absence of both a sink and a dishwasher—as well as several other unresolved issues. Despite these concerns, the closing proceeded, and I ultimately took possession of a home that was far from move-in ready. After closing, I discovered multiple damaged cabinets throughout the home. Additionally, I had been told that blinds would be included as part of the home package, yet these were never provided. I attempted to address these issues directly with the seller’s representative, Yvette, but received no response despite multiple attempts to contact her. I also reached out to Chris, hoping for assistance, but he too was unresponsive. Overall, I am deeply disappointed with both the quality of the construction and the level of customer service provided by Lennar. The experience has been frustrating and disheartening, and it reflects poorly on the company’s commitment to its buyers. ... More

Bad buying experience which cost me 13k in incentives due to poor communication

I had high hopes when purchasing my home through Lennar, but unfortunately, my experience has been riddled with frustration and disappointment. Before closing, I hired a professional home inspector who uncovered a laundry list of issues—bad masonry work, sloppy and frankly comical electrical wiring, fencing that lacked proper nails and support, and concerning plumbing flaws, particularly with the water heater. Despite these problems, I was pressured to close on the home before the issues were properly addressed. While some of them were eventually fixed, the process was far from timely or reassuring. Since moving in, I’ve continued to uncover more problems: Poor concrete and driveway work More bad masonry Fence quality that is clearly subpar Scratched bathroom tiles that somehow passed inspection Sloppy indoor painting Missing roof flashing in at least one section Windows that were poorly installed, raising concerns about future insulation and efficiency issues with the double-pane glass These aren't just minor annoyances—they’re serious quality control problems that shouldn’t exist in a home costing several hundred thousand dollars. If I wanted to continue the list, I could, but these alone are enough to give any prospective buyer serious pause. Buying a home should be exciting. Instead, it’s been an ongoing battle to get the basics done right. I expected better from a national builder like Lennar. ... More

From day 1 with the initial sales contract and the tons of disclosures that were not made to the crazy surprises at closing, there isn’t enough space to describe all the communication and customer service failures by sales, construction and customer service/warranty//walk throughs. There was poor follow through on issues, the defensive attitudes by really everyone, untruthful statements, and extra hidden cost were unimaginable and never experienced by us in any of the 7 previous new homes we have purchased in our 40 years in Las Vegas.

Just to be honest , I won’t recommend Lennar homes to no body My bad experience was really bad . after 2 months moved in , grass never was set it on , I called & called to warranty department and not answer I was told that 10 days after moved you will have your grass set ,but that is not true . funny is all the houses sold out has grass already and I am still waiting on it..
