Lennar Reviews

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

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

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

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 homes tried to sell us the home which was 80% complete. They force is to close threatening to take away the deposit money. We had a 80 items on the to do list at the time of walk-through end since we have closed two months ago, I have had no luck in getting any of those items taken care

The disorganized nature of your closing process and miscommunication was unparalleled. Never had a more frustrating experience in my life. Unresponsive. Rude. Disorganized. Lack of knowledge etc. I could not get keys but finally a woman who was a manager took time 7am on a Sunday morning to let me in. She was really helpful, annd fantastic , and an exception the the rule.

Bad experience with stuart and the Ivan (Customer rep). This is regarding the dent on the refrigerator. David inspected (Sep 20th) the house before we moved in. And found there is a big dent to the refrigerator and he contacted the respective team to replace it with a new one. Seems they agreed for a replacement (I don't know who he contacted). Till now no one contacted me for a replacement. It's been months and no one contacted me on this. I was not expecting this kind of service from Lennar. I was emailing Ivan and Donald (director of customer care). Still there is no response till date. The worst customer server i have ever faced in my US stay (10 years). ... More

Unskilled labors did the work homes really not ready to close...however many of us were between a rock and a hard spot ...had to move in fast too many issues to list but would love for upper management to pay liberty village a visit ...its time for you guys to see first hand its past time to see this sub

Workmanship is terrible. The grass in the garden is pretty much dead at this point. No toilet paper holders, shower rails, soap dishes, broken roof tiles, damaged windows screens, lamp on the front lawn doesn’t work, cracked/missing tiles in the driveway, unwired faceplates throughout the home, paint dripping over light switches/tiles, holes behind all light switches, loose fixtures in the all bathrooms, all windows blinds hung the wrong way, gaps in doors throughout the home, missing stucco all over the outside of the home, grass wasn’t placed Properly resulting in tripping hazards everywhere, broken cabinet doors, rusted cabinet handles, drawer handles different for each drawer, broken dryer, rusted bathroom fixtures. I paid 50k over asking price and the house needs a lot of work ... More

No Comment at this time.

My overall experience with the company was beyond subpar. Once I signed the contract documents the entire process went downhill. From having several delays relating to everything from permits, building materials, inspections, etc… to the lack of transparency while providing updates. I always had to escalate the situation to find out simple answers. Once I switched lenders the mediocre service I did receive stopped also. I am still trying to have paint issues address that were denoted prior to closing. This was 19+ months of my life I could have done without.

Other home buyers should be welcomed by a properly trained manager able to assess and answer the multiple issues that normally arises in the process of buying a new property. This manager should shield the buyer from everyone of the Lennar employees that have little to no training on how to deal with Customers. I suggest to start training Mr Jaime from the Closing Coordination.

We paid through the roof with a almost 6% interest rate for screens that are too small, glue on floors, carpet padding missing in some spots, toilet shoots out water when we flush, not all window sills were painted. They used cheap chalk paint to paint. Honestly this house is not worth what we paid. Not to mention I can’t do anything or it will void my warranty so when I call the builders they are never available. Second Lennar home and Incredibly disappointed. I will never have a build with them again.

The issues started as soon as I closed, faulty main door (not locking nor closing), missing components inside the house, missing cabinets, food left in the fridge by the crew, there about 18 items still not completed by Lennar. And of course the promised of reimbursing for my expenses for the faulty main door was 6 weeks the estimated amount to get the money back and of course, nothing.

My experience with the property manager of my new development was not a pleasant one. I was unable to reach him most of the time and when I did he was very short with me as if I was inconveniencing him with my questions. I also experienced a huge delay in my closing time which was due to covid but when I did close one of the window fixtures had still not been put on the home and is currently still missing. My Lennar loan officer on the other hand was amazing and provided me with all the information I needed and the construction team has also been very responsive.

Extremely bad experience working with Amanda. Not responsive at all once the house is signed. heard the same feedback from all my neighbors I spoke to.

Once you sign your contract, you become just antother number to Lennar, from the Sales Center to the Construction Foreman. They are not forth coming with information, progress updates are elementary at best. The management team is more concerened about the "sticks in the air" than they are about your home. Also, tell your buyers agent to read their contracts too, make sure they get paid on the whole house and not just the "base price" of the ho,e The sales contracts and all the addendums ore to protect the seller, not the buyer. Good Luck!

The experience we shared with Nancy was unprofessional and could have been handled better. It was not a great experience and would not recommend Lennar to family or friends

Sales person was terrible with unprofessional attitude and manner No update about the progress, never heard back from him the moment we paid the deposit.
