Lennar Reviews

Run far away. Lennar uses subpar materials and even poorer contractors. So many problems with our new house. And when you call they just lie and deflect. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. The worst experience possible. Buy anything else.

The only good experience about this entire process was Jean and Kim. The lender was a terrible experience. The builder started out nice but after the close didn’t really care anymore. Still waiting on promised items. With me buying the flagship house first one on the corner at the entrance of the neighborhood you would think I would be the last client you would want to treat bad. Your reputation is on the line and word of mouth is everything.

Poor supervision of Sub contractor's workmanship. Low quality hardware. Lack of hardware: No towel bars. No backing for towel bars. Careless / unnecessary damage to finished items like walls, concrete, pavers, windows, etc. while being built. Things that can't be repaired Complete disregard for buyers desire to have a few simple additions to the home while being built: Refusal to add an outlet, light, or insulate walls Lack of follow through to ensure deficiencies found on walk through are repaired properly or at all. ( I took five inspections to get to closing and at the end I finally gave up and decided to fix some things myself) ... More

Buying a home from Lennar is like buying and RV. Once you buy it your salesperson drops you like a bad habit. Arthur our salesperson won't call or email you back and then when asked about he states he tried but I wouldn't return his call. which is a bold face lie. Chris the construction person was supposed to get back with me in a couple of day about an issue. It has been over two weeks. So in conclusion , If Lennar folks can't honor their word what good are they? I mean after all how much effort does it take to respond to a buyers Issue? It speaks to the culture at Lennar where lack of professionalism is tolerated. ... More

Absolutely horrible experience all the way from the looking at the home to closing. Zero communication within the company, everything is compartmentalized. Straight up will lie to your face. Use FOMO tactics to get anything done. God forbid you call them out on the workmanship and they have to make repairs. Just easier to pay someone else after the process to get your home to where you want to be.

This has been tiresome and disappointing all the way around from beginning to end. The salesperson misled us on when amenities would be completed, the unit wasn't finished even though we traveled a great distance for our closing & to move in, no one ever reached out to say it was delayed. Even after we moved in the work wasn't completed and was shoddy. In just 2 months we've had to constantly get into touch with them for issues (referred to warranty) and schedule workers to come. Yesterday 2 guys came to fix one thing and we discovered after they left they made a gash in the Sheetrock in the process .... it's always like 1 step forward 2 steps back. I cannot wait to sell and find another better quality built place. ... More

Awful experience! At final walkthrough the house had terrible detailing and the customer service agent didn’t resolve. It’s one thing before you close and another after closing! Lennar practically abandons you after closing and you have to resolve through warranty, which is an impersonal online unfriendly and confusing process! I will never again buy from Lennar! You shouldn’t either!

A 1500-unit development with no onsite sales manager. Sales department was not organized on what is going on with the development. Construction personal are drive by superintendents, that let the subcontractors do what they want without supervision or direction. Lennar's in field creed is to pass all mistakes onto the service department. Building wasn't finished during walk through or closing. Hats off to Maria Vasquaz of the service department to finish off the buildings and do it efficiently and make many homeowners happy.

Terrible quality. I call this home my trailer on a foundation. The end.

Overall Homebuying Experience Initially, the process of purchasing a home with Lennar seemed promising. The staff was welcoming, and the excitement of buying a new home was palpable. Unfortunately, this positive outset quickly devolved into a frustrating and disappointing ordeal. The dream of a seamless homebuying journey was shattered by a series of organizational and communication failures, making it a stressful and disillusioning experience. Quality of Workmanship & Materials At first glance, the home appeared to be everything one could hope for. However, it wasn't long before the façade began to crumble—literally and figuratively. The wall above the garage was improperly sealed, an issue that persisted despite multiple attempts at repair. The interior paint was so thinly applied that it would come off with the slightest touch. Within the first month and a half, the dishwasher ceased functioning, the solar panels malfunctioned, and the plumbing nearly caused several floods due to a piece of construction debris lodged in the drain. Additionally, the driveway repair resulted in further damage to the landscaping. These incidents underscore a disheartening lack of attention to detail and quality. Trustworthiness The trust that should form the foundation of the homebuyer-builder relationship was severely undermined in this case. The mishandling of personal information—a stranger's loan application appearing on my account—and the refusal to correct such a significant error is deeply concerning. Trust was further eroded on the day of title signing; misinformation and blame-shifting between Lennar Mortgage and Lennar Title showcased a lack of accountability and professionalism. Value for the Price Paid Considering the myriad of issues encountered, it's challenging to assert that the value of the home aligns with the price paid. The excitement of moving into a new home was tarnished by the need for constant repairs and the looming dread of what might fail next. The financial and emotional toll of dealing with these problems significantly detracts from the perceived value of the investment. Responsiveness to Issues The responsiveness to the numerous issues raised was, at best, inconsistent. While some problems were addressed (albeit inadequately in cases like the garage wall), others were met with indifference. The situation with the incorrect utility start date serves as a prime example; being told that nothing could be done about being billed for a week of utilities before legal ownership of the home was not only unhelpful but unacceptable. This lack of support and accountability adds to the overall frustration and dissatisfaction. Conclusion The journey with Lennar Home Builders, Lennar Mortgage, and Lennar Title was fraught with challenges that marred what should have been a joyful and exciting milestone. From serious privacy breaches and communication breakdowns to subpar construction quality and a disheartening disregard for customer concerns, the experience was deeply disappointing. While the dream of homeownership remains intact, the reality of dealing with Lennar has been a cautionary tale about the importance of trust, quality, and customer care in the homebuying process. ...

I never received a New Home Orientation. I never received a pre drywall orientation. The property was poorly constructed! Each day I’m discovering new issues and needed repairs in the house. I was so excited about purchasing a brand new home, which turned out to be a huge disappointment!

Working with loan officer was a terrible experience although I don’t have any issues with the builder.

Builder steal/removed curtains from this model home. Sent refund check very late, with buyers and realtors total five payee name in a check, how can we cash this check? Took Lennar 2 months to correct purchase number in ALTA, two months add correct name to deed.

The entire process was a joke and can be summed up as simply as saying I received better service at McDonald’s. The only reason I purchased this “home” is the promotional interest rate. I would not recommend Lennar to my worst enemy and will NEVER purchase from them again. Nobody at the company cares about anything other than taking all the money from you they can. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I want to say first how nice and responsive Amy and Stephen were that is who we dealt with most. They represent the company well. The problem I had is how much we were lied to. When we first walked in to view the house it was 281k and we were advertised a 4.25% interest rate. In a short 2 months it went up to 306k and 5.65%. We messed up and agreed. We got ripped off. Never again will I recommend to anyone or myself purchase a lennar product. I’m paying more for home owners insurance because I refuse to give Lennar any more of my hard earned money. We got taken advantage of. Some things still aren’t fixed from our walkthrough. Things don’t line up well. The trimming, paint, and caulking are horrid. Our closing date kept getting moved back because the house wouldn’t pass city inspection because I’m sure of cost cutting measures. We had to cancel movers and celeries multiple times. We were on a time crunch and there was 0 communication. They told us 1430 the day before our closing it was going to be pushed back 9 days. Terrible experience ... More

My experience moving her was not a pleasant experience when I first came here to look at the home that I picked it didn't have a stair way it had a hallway and that's not what I got no communication in progress also my house my jack up I really don't care for purchasing any home with them again no one can help you get a clear understanding also we were told if u put down a certain amount if we didn't get approve 250 will be deducted from that and would get the rest back it was my son he is un the military and they say he wasnt approve so they did FHA how about that was a lie my husband didn't wanted to go thru with it and was told if we could not get our money back after they say my son wasn't approve by him self the whole thing is they played with how to suckered u in also I got my water bill and it's so bad they run the water everyday and that bill I had to pay and called and spoke to different number and everyone telling me they don't know anything and can't help me I even text the young lady that did our first walk thru dead end with her I even send Aneese a picture about the bill she told me she would see what they can do when she took it to her boss brook told me nothing no help hunter no help at all no one helped me so I got force into paying a water bill and I moved in on the 19 of January cause I still had a other apartment that I was Still paying to finish out my lease all this was told to brook also they put a rush on this house cause the guy that did our second walk thru said they told him house had to be ready by January 9 and he said that what he did what they say and if they did stated a later Time he could have done that and I wouldn't have to pay all that money and my monthly payments would start later like I say no help at all bad experience for me in buying a home with lennar so don't send me no more reviews to rate you guys just leave me out of your reviews cause not good for me bad experience it could've been more star's no communication after you are sold a house everyone that you communication with doesn't even check on you call you before they called text email now no one is helping you be more fair with ur customer not because you sold a house when they called for help with certain things and the same wall you hit you keeping hitting it cause they don't have answers for you ...

Builders are charging a builders fee at closing which was supposed to be included in the original price . That’s another random $3,000 just inserted in there with no mention of it, very fraudulent. Not happy with Lennar at all.

Bad experience cheaply done work. Lots of problems but builder still wanted to close be fore fixing them . Also after removing there cheap carpet there was lots of dirt paint and construction trash under pad was not even clean up . Then all the closet shelves were not attached to studs fell down with my wife’s clothes on them and she got hurt. Also had to fix a wall outlet box when removing found beer cans and soda pop bottles in the wall with liquid in them and ants were already starting to make a home were there was food and sugar . Bad builders stay away!!!

The initial part of the home buying process was okay. It was until the inspection and after closing that the nightmares started to kick in. First, for starters, any real estate professional could see the gap between the foundation and the garage door. It seems like because I was out of town during the closing they just looked over the gap in hopes I wouldn’t say anything. I had to put in a claim for Lennar to come out and fix the issue that should have been fixed prior to closing. Second, there’s overgrowth of bushes and shrubs outside my property line. I reach out to Lennar regarding this issue, they shift the blame to the HOA. So I contact the HOA, they shift the blame to Lennar. I reach back out to Lennar in January regarding this issue, in which they stated they would take care of it. Here it is, the end of February, I have not received a return phone call after I reached out to follow up. The landscaping has yet to be cleaned up. Mind you, it’s not on my property line, so it’s not something I am responsible for. After spending 6 figures to acquire this house, no one should never have to go through hoops to get things done. I shouldn’t have to contact the corporate offices for Lennar to do their job that was supposed to have been completed before selling these properties. I regret purchasing through Lennar, should have went with another builder. This is the first and LAST time I will purchase from Lennar, and would not recommend them to anyone, not even my worse enemy. I am beyond upset about this issue. The whole team failed! ... More

I personally didn’t have a good experience at all when purchasing my home. My loan officer was fired days before my original closing date. Supposedly she didn’t upload any of my documents to my folder and I basically had to start from scratch with a new loan officer. This process pushed me back another 3 months. This was very inconvenient to my life because I had to make adjustments and spend a lot of unnecessary money in order for my family to be good while we wait on our home. No extra incentive for their former employees mistakes, no one reaching out to check in or being responsive when I reached out. I literally have messages/emails in my phone that were never responded to till this day. I heard great things about Lennar previous to this experience but I have not one Great thing to say about Lennar and my experience with them. I would of backed out and went a different route if I could go back in time but I was giving the benefit of the doubt to a company that constantly gave me the run around. ... More

The entire homebuying process was a nightmare from start to finish. Salesman was not knowledgeable at all to the product or process. Then the mortgage team I dealt with was absolutely horrid and unreachable most of the time. I almost pulled out of the deal due to frustration and complications that were unnecessary. In addition to this there is a design issue in the house that wont allow me to get furniture up the stairs. I am not a genius but even I can figure out that if you're building a house with all bedrooms upstairs you should design a staircase and handrail that allows you to get furniture up to these rooms. I have lodged a complaint and am getting the typical runaround. I am actively telling friends, family, and anyone I know to avoid buying a Lennar Home. Thanks! ... More

From beginning to end, this home-buying experience has been a nightmare. The salesman was unresponsive to our issue with an unfinished garage wall. The Title Company used by the builder was also responsive to our requests to meet in person for the purchase agreement signing. Worst of all, they recorded the WRONG names with the county. When asked when it would be corrected, I had to file two complaints with Headquarters in order to get things fixed. As of yet, they are still not recording our requested language in the warranty deed, as other title companies have done for us, after putting us in touch with their staff attorney. Since this is standard language for joint tenancy, which is allowable in Texas, there should be no questions on legality, and yet we have had a string of issues with Lennar. ... More

My experience with Lennar has not been great. Short of the woman who assisted me as my homebuyer concierge the experience has come up short. Things started off bad after the walk pre purchase walkthrough. I pointed out many issues. Then when final walkthrough came I showed up to the appointment and notii nouns had been completed and then they said they would complete the items and send me pictures. They did complete some of the items but not all and I didn’t get a chance to do a real walkthrough. Then after I closed they couldn’t even be bothered to schedule a meeting to give me my keys. I had to go to the sales office and then nobody knew where my keys were and it took a couple of hours to find them. When I went to get my mailbox keys per Lennar instructions the usps couldn’t find those keys either I had to wait a week. There are several issues with the house. The material qualities are adequate. I’ve had so many issues. It’s the quality of workmanship and lack of pride that’s the problem. Two of My kitchen cabinet doors warped and some of my drawers were not assembled correctly. which were a material issue. The paint on the exterior and interior of the house is only applied with one thin coat. You can see right through it. In the interior you can not clean the walls if something gets on them. It will take the paint right of even with light touch and just water. It really needs a second coat. My garage which is unfinished that is fine but there are several corners of dry wall broken and weren’t fixed. In both bathrooms the pipe coming out of the wall go the shower heads were both installed at almost 45 degree angles intstead of coming straight out of the wall. There is drywall and paint all over my carpet. The final cleaning of the home was done very hastily. There are stains on my carpet from I’m assuming paint. My doors had to be readjusted twice. When I moved on the covers on the exhaust fans in the bathrooms were hanging down. There was paint all over my ceiling lights. On the website for the home community it states that standard the homes come with a water softener loop… turns out they do not. I found out the hard and expensive way. The first night I moved in the temperature outside was near freezing and my heater would not work. Turns out some idiot replaced the drip down on the gas line to the heater and did not turn the gas back on. I had to go through a whole reset procedure to get it to work. There is still a irrigation pipe sticking up in my backyard that needs to be reburied. My microwave above the stove literally lets air blow in from the roof vent. So much so that my stove gets dusty and during the freeze we had I had to tape up the microwave door and vents. I had to stuff rags in the vents. My microwave got so cold inside I put a thermometer inside and it read 32 degrees. I froze a bowl of water in there. When I addressed the issue several times they just said sorry you get north wind and we don’t install dampeners inside the vent. I have never lived in a house where I had to tape up the microwave to keep my living room and kitchen to not be freezing cold. It’s very disappointing. One of there hired trades drove their truck directly into my yard almost hitting my truck and destroying part of my yard. Then when the landscaping came to fix it they didn’t even notify me they were at my house and let me know they were here. Turns out while the were fixing my yard the damaged a pvc clean out cap that has yet to be replaced. I understand there will be some things that need to be addressed with any home new or otherwise but with a new home you expect less. There are several more issues I could go on about. It’s so hard to find anyone to take pride and respect in their work today. Integrity is lost. They throw these homes up and just don’t really seem to care. Which I get it’s numbers game. But the overall point here is that I am not so much mad but disappointed. Especially for a first time home buyer. The whole experience has been disappointing. It’s probably one of the most regrettable experiences of my life. If I had to do it again I would not buy from Lennar. If I wanted a ton of sissies with a home I would have bought a 1920s craftsman to remodel. I guess you get what you pay for. Thai is my analogy… just because I bought a Honda instead of a Mercedes doesn’t mean that the paint should have imperfections or that the seats have not been installed properly, or the radio not work. ...

Have had the worst experience buying a home from Lennar. They do not live up to their expencacy. Its all about.meeting the nubers for them. They dont care or are concern with pleasing their clients.

Lennar tried to close our home when house wasn't ready. We did Walk through 2 times but items didn't fix. Lennar pushed us to close the house and said they will charge us for each day if we push the closing date later. Finance team wasn't knowledgeble enough and they made a mistake on cash to close amount.
