Lennar Reviews

The closing was remotely, I was literally enforced to close before the issues in the inspection report were resolved. In addition to the confusion on the home warranty request dates with my other Lennar home, the request for the location of the public utility in in front of my house goes nowhere. I need someone really listen to my request, respond and resolve the issue!

Although the home is in the beautiful Glen Lakes area we had many issues through the entire process as it relates to workmanship and materials. Now, Lennar did do a price adjustment but that did not change the fact that we received something completely different than agreed upon. We are now in the home and it seems our warranty rep is very responsive but we still have (3) outstanding issues that we can not get resolution on. I am trying to decide if I need to involve legal counsel to get traction on these issues or is Lennar going to step forward and resolve their pre-closing issue noted on the walk. ... More

I feel may be they were bias with me, may be on purpose because I asked for things they had on contract but were not delivering and were finding excuses, some homeowner says they got lots of thing as add on to their house, but I got nothing. well construction manager was so rude that he does not want to fix visible dent on garage floor, then paint issues and even had provided wrong paint code and when I did touch up with that paint code it does not match the wall paint they had painted, exact paint is not available within 40 miles of Garner NC, and they don't give sample to homeowner for touch ups. finance team will lure you by saying they give 5k or 10k towards closing cost if you finance with them, but actually they just want to get that money back to their own finance company account in the name of buying point. as the lower rate is already available outside but due to that 5k or 10k offer you get in their trap. there is no escalation process, like I literally have to google to find some contacts to escalate the matter and the horrible part is that nobody called or talked to understand all the concern. must say there are other builders doing really great as I had seen some other friends getting best in class house as well as service from entire team. Lennar does not care to even talk to customer, at-least for me they were not. other homeowner in my same community says they took care of all the issues and gave them extra appliances and fixed few things on curtsey but for me they discriminated and were bias . ...

During the inital viewing tour, I thought this experience was going to be amazing. The folks were eager to show homes but that is where the accommodations ended. The entire process was rushed and stressful. Although the home I purchased was unfinished I was unable to make any changes to the decor (i.e. carpet & home automation). During my final walk through & key turnover my home was not even cleaned. That said, I cannot comment on the craftsmanship specifically because my home has not yet had time to settle. However, theses houses are constucted entirely too fast, my neighbors have complained about plumbing issues, cracks in the concrete and chips in their walls. Lennar you must do better to make people feel as if this experience is important. I have seen some residents welcomed with a sign and others including myself told, here are your keys! Moving forward do better Lennar, try to ensure that people feel as if their purchase is exciting and important. ... More

You'll spend most of the process chasing people for answers, and then you might also get verbally abused by at least 1 Lennar representative. Our initial disclosures were sent within hours of the 3 day requirement passing. We were told that they would extend our closing date (due to reasons on our end), if we paid an additional $3K on the price of our home. They then proceeded to extend the closing date further due to workmanship issues. When we inquired about the additional $3K being removed since now the delays were not due to anything on our end, I was berated by a Lennar manager to the point that I was in tears. He used it all: gas-lighting, guilt-tripping, criticism, etc. My husband took over conversations and also received this treatment. By the end of the conversation, he was assured that while the $3K couldn't be removed, our home would be perfect prior to closing. One major concern of ours was that our kitchen island was more than an inch off from one end to the other, causing it to look obviously crooked. This manager assured my husband that he would see to this being fixed himself. We performed our initial walkthough and the issue hadn't been touched. The warranty representative confirmed the issue was documented both in our inspection and had received attention from management and would be resolved. We get to our final walkthrough, the issue was still not fixed. At the same time, we begin getting pressuring calls from their lender that we need to close the next day or we risk getting charged a fee for each day after. It's crazy to think that they want to haphazardly plan a closing date and give us no time to plan time off from work. You'd think they'd want us to have time to appropriately plan so that we keep our jobs to pay the mortgage we're acquiring. With so little time to plan, my husband and I had to sign for our first home separately. In the end, we were so worn out from the chasing, berating, and pressuring that we decided that we would deal with the island issue ourselves. We are still finding issues that we can only hope they will resolve within our first year living here. If other homes in our area weren't going for so much more than the one's in our neighborhood, we would've went a different route. We'll be sure to be ready to pay more next time instead of working with the shady and unprofessional people that Lennar chooses to employ. ... More

Construction issues unresolved during build and after closing. Inability to control quality of subcontractor work.

Very poor customer service and difficult to get warranty work done. Lennar lacks ownership of responsibility and transparency. I would never recommend buying a home from Lennar.

I’ll preface this by saying that I have base-level experience in construction and I’ve built a home with another builder before- so this is not my first rodeo. I will say that working with Logan, in the sales office was a pleasure. He was kind, informative, speedy, and helpful. So this doesn’t reflect on him. But the process by which they handle the build of your home is sloppy and lazy. For over a $700k home, you’d think they’d care enough to not leave orange peels all over your newly laid carpet, leave pizza in your window wells, a rotisserie chicken under your deck. You’d think they’d care enough to have more than one builder call every few weeks. I had 2 in the entire duration of my home building process. Linda in their Lennar lending office went away on leave and never got my loan covered, so stuff fell through the cracks and I was scrambling at the end to get handled what needed to be handled. It’s lucky I’m smart, quick, and capable or I wouldn’t have been able to close. I was also pressured to change the terms of my loan at the 11th hour. The quality of work is REALLY POOR! They slap your house together as fast as possible with zero care or attention to detail. I have doors that don’t close, ones that won’t stay open, yellow tape from our walk that never got addressed. I closed with a long list of items that were supposed to be handled in the 30 days after closing- surprise surprise- they weren’t. Now the warranty rep, Justin is VERY nice and did a great job making me feel comfortable and assured on our preclosing walk that I’d be taken care of. But 30 days came and went, and I got several stock emails saying that they attempted to schedule trades and were unsuccessful so I was being transferred to warranty. As you might have guessed - no attempt was made to schedule ANY trades, and I wasn’t even living in the home, so it could have been easy. They sent one guy to power wash, who showed up unannounced, despite me saying I needed appointment times! Now Justing did try to call me twice over 8 weeks. I was working so I missed his call - and I called him back both times- no answer. I sent a distressed email- which he assured me he prioritizes and always responds to! That he’s trained to take e-mails seriously! Zero response! Just some more stock emails and DocuSigns that I’m refusing to sign. When I built with David Weekley, I was treated WELL! The trades cared and did a good job, the builder was highly communicative, I was involved in every step, the warranty rep handled the inevitable issues like a pro. I was thrilled with that experience! This experience at Lennar made me feel like I bought a $500 slab from them. I read the reviews, I saw the comments on my community FB page to not sign on the house until things were done, that Lennar doesn’t care, and they do terrible work and just sell you - and when you close you’re on your own. I assumed I should take that with a grain of salt because ppl only write reviews if they have an amazing experience or terrible one - nothing in between. I should have listened! Now- I love my community and neighbors, but I wish I could have built with another builder! Or at the least that Lennar would streamline their process to make the customer happy and provide work and craftsmanship that is worthy of the prices we’re paying! ... More

Overall had an experience I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Horrible customer service representative, who was so aggressive and self centered that she recommended to forget about our crying baby who just fell and hurt but focus on her as she needs to go. Every single request for issues is fraught back with not supported comment or do it yourself suggestion.

Kelsey in sales deserves 5 stars and was unfortunately the only positive part of our homebuying experience. Lennar clearly overclosed as all the homeowners we talk to in the Avion seems to have several issues. Our home came with multiple issues from the start that were identified during the walkthrough, of which several are still not fixed over three months later....let alone many additional issues found afterwards. Our dishwasher wasn't working for over 6 weeks and we identified that it wasn't working when we first tried it on day 6 after moving in (took a day or two to unpack our dishes and then fully load it) and lennar said they couldn't replace it and we had to go through GE only to find out one of the top wires was frayed, likely from cutting the box open or something. Our garage door was scraping the walls and wasn't aligned yet they'll only paint over it, flooring folks have confirmed that it needs to be redone, and the painters confirmed that they only had time to do one coat of paint. This is just a sampling of issues and the worst part is that they have clearly moved on since nothing gets done without us nagging them all the time... Again as evidenced by the fact that our list from our walkthrough is still not addressed and no one follows up with us without us reaching out. We are genuinely concerned there are other issues we aren't even aware of yet b everything was so rushed. ... More

There us no consistency within the Lennar teams which takes away from the process. The follow-up is poor, the workmanship is sloppy and everyone blames the last person when there are mistakes. During the walkthrough, I pointed out areas of concern that were not addressed when I moved in. The house was spot cleaned, ie. Dirty windows, paint on the floors and windows, paint on the railings and carpet, debris from the sanding left along the trim of the walls, and on the flooring.While the carp we ts were vacuumed and the house smelled fresh, it was not cleaned properly. I made contact immediately after returning from closing, but it was never addressed. There was interaction with too many to name, so I will just reference the Lennar team. ... More

Maintance person is not helpfull they say every thing is warranty , construction manager Bill is zero helpfull, they gave my home with lot of patches in walkway they say everything is warranty and my attic door is also not working properly they say no warranty we brought a new brand home but its like second hand home. Please ask some one to call i can explain and show all the issues

Poor workmanship , filthy , many major issues , Poor quality control and still waiting for issues to be repaired correctly .

First I will start by saying that after talking to other buyers in the neighborhood, we are not the only one that feels this way. Multiple delays on our closing date with promises that were never delivered. We dealt with an absolutely rude construction manager that had do desire to listen or get anything accomplished, but was argumentative. We appeared to be more of a hassle to her. Once we finally moved in there was a long list of things that were not acceptable and poor craftmanship. Lennar is about quantity not quality, this is why they can claim to be #1. For a home that was almost 3/4 of a million dollars you would think that you would be able to move right in comfortably without fixing mistakes, cleaning up messes, installing lighting, etc... Lennar is no longer a builder that I would recommend to family and friends. ... More

Beautiful homes with terrible finishes! There is no attention to detail. The skill level of the workers working on these homes is not great, to say the least. The drywall, paint and trimwork are the worst finishes. Lennar should have a better oversight of their contractors/subcontractors/sub-subcontractors. I hope this helps a potential buyer decide.

Bought home at Lennar Huntersville NC, construction quality is below average, materials used cheapest.. Common Mail box is in front of house , but they assigned 2 blocks away so this is the sample example of them If you want to waste your.Money then buy many homes with Lennar

After you close on your home, the warranty repairs never end!! The quality is horrible!

Lennar was on a strict schedule. They had hoped to complete the transaction by the end of November due to quarter closing. On the day of closing several things were not completed but due to Lennars reputation and buying experience I closed despite an uneasy feeling. I wish I had gone with my gut feeling. The warrantee experience has been terrible. We are almost at two months from closing and several things are yet to be address. We have tenants that are not happy as well. I have scheduled multiple appointments after coordinating with tenants that were cancelled without any notice. Why I am going through a warrantee process when the task were never initially completed is beyond me. I would like to more Lennar properties in the future but now I am second thoughts. I would appreciate if you can look into this matter. ... More

Holes and divets were found all over the house in the door frames, flooring ,and baseboards. These were pointed out during our first walk thru andmost were not fixed by the final walk thru. Paint drips were found all over the house.. on floors, walls, and doors. This was not corrected. Wood floor is just planks about an inch thick. Shower heads were cheap looking and there were no towel bars, hooks, or toilet paper holders installed in any bathrooms. Master bath shower and second bathroom should have had decorative tile accent; it did not. We were told they ran out. Very disappointed especially when on our final walk thru a Lennar representative that was present told us that these imperfections should be expected in a new house. For the money we paid for our new home we certainly didn't get our moneys worth considering how much we need to spend to correct all of the imperfections and missing upgrades. ... More

First walk-through inside and secund not finished, dishwasher sinse November 30 not install, is January 17, front door entrance no weather strip doesn't lock correctly, bedrooms doors unlevel and 20 more issues. Please come en see.

The house finishes and detailing are beyond mediocre. Then the response is slow and disorganized. It becomes a full time for the buyers to get the support to fix the issues we have.

I was so excited to buy a Lennar home! The process started out alright, but slowly went down-hill. The communication from the salesperson was lacking. The lady in the title office was rude. Then when I had my so called”walk-through” everything got worse. My house was not completed and the work that was done-especially in some areas was so shoddy. Very poor workmanship throughout the home. I’ve been in this “construction zone” for almost two months-Lennar is very slow at trying to make things right. They have fixed/finished some things, but now it feels like I’m being ignored. Even sending emails to company presidents falls on deaf ears. So very sad. This is supposed to be my last home-I’m retired and I can’t enjoy my home because of the poor quality of work that Lennar did and continues to do. Please don’t buy a home from Lennar-the stress is not worth it. ... More

What would I like other homebuyers to know about our experience... remove any emotion for the initial decision-making process and talk to the people that currently live in the development that you are looking at. If we would have done that, we probably would not have purchased the house that we did. Multiple people in our community have experienced or are experiencing what we are going through with the lack of workmanship, pride in their product, and responsiveness to issues. This was evident with the lack of communication and responsiveness through the building process, not having corrected any of the issues identified before closing, and lack of follow up after submitting repair tickets. ... More

Let me start off by saying that this is a wonderful community and I’m very happy that I moved here despite the construction issues. The other residents make it the wonderful community. My home sat with no progress being done for much of 2022. It wasn’t until the final month that they hurriedly slapped it together. It shows! I am a disabled veteran and have felt totally overwhelmed with all that needs to be done but I will make sure that Lennar fixes all of the issues with my home. As I type this, tiles are being replaced in my living room. The place basically needs to be repainted, I still need beat up doors replaced And other doors repaired. ... More

Horrible responsiveness from my sales, lennar mortgage & customer care.
