Lennar Reviews

This is my second Lennar new construction home, and it's been a completely different experience compared to the first one. My first Lennar experience was great! This time around has been a different story. From the sales person, Daniel, who was completely rude and unprofessional, to the issues I'm going through now, I'd highly recommend getting an inspection before closing. I did a walk through, but it went by so fast, that I wasn't able to see all the issues. I had a service call back on 7/15 of a laundry list of items, and if it wasn't for me continously following up, they never would have been done. Today is 8/23, and my cabinets finally got repaired today...back from the 7/15 visit. I asked the cabinet person when they were contacted, and he said just last week. It takes 5 weeks to contact the cabinet folks? I also have another laundry list of items that need to be repaired; it's going over 10 days now and still nothing. The work is sloppy! And that's putting it nicely. I had to replace ALL the door knobs because they were covered in paint. Every last one of them. I spent 4 hrs on the floor with a razor and a cloth getting all the paint and excess grout off the floor. There was even paint on the range and dishwasher that I had to get off. Paint on the interior window frames. It's literally everywhere. There are paint drips on the baseboards. There's even paint on the bathroom shower tile. I haven't tackled that yet. And the shower tile grout is uneven and sloppy as well. I had to pay $200 to have someone come in and do a final construction clean because the home was disgusting when I moved in. The interior doors were damaged at some point through the construction process, and instead of replacing them, they just used wood filler. I have 2 that look awful. All of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets looked like they came from a seconds and surplus store. All of them had issues, from actual cracked cabinet door to finish issues. The drywall texture on the wall is awful. You can tell in several areas where the drywall is not the same. It looks like somehow the walls/ceilings were damaged, and whoever did the drywall repair, they didn't match the existing texture. There is a weird looking spot on the living room ceiling that looks like it's bulging, and I have no idea what is even going on there. "Covid" is not an excuse for poor quality and workmanship. With what I'm seeing beyond the drywall, terrifies me on what's behind it. But unfortunately, I can't remove the drywall to see. Please beware. And if you buy your home early enough in the process, I would definitely have construction phase inspections done. ... More

It was the worst experience ever. I went through a lot to get this home.

If Lennar can save a nickel they will. They did not seal the walls, I am not sure if they just sprayed the walls with texture or if they actually used paint. The landscape was a mess, and we still have problems with the sprinkler system. We have dogs, so every day we have to walk to the yard and pick up styrofoam cups, fast food packages, and other garbage left to the wind. I had to coordinate the mailboxes being put in, they did not know who the waste disposal provider was, and it was a battle trying to get sprinklers, fences, and lawn fixed. The warrantee process is practically non-existent, none of the subcontractors take any pride in their work and blame everybody else for the problems and issues. The worse investment I ever made. ...

No recomiendo a Lennar

I went with Lennar because I was under the impression it was a reputable company. The mortgage department is extremely unorganized causing a lot of unnecessary time, work, and stress. At closing, the end of June, there was a list of items still not complete. I was promised the items would be promptly addressed. As of today, 8/23, not one item has been taking care of. Would not recommend Lennar.

Please, please check Lennars review before buying!!! By far WORST experience ever. Bunch of idiots working there! Workmanship BAD! Very bad! Walls crooked, not responding to work requests and retaliation are just some of their qualities. Scott (main lennar builder guy) on question why is my half million dollars house so poorly built answered that he personally couldn’t afford one. Obviously, he cannot build one either. Never ever again. Do mot buy, save yourself headache.

Had a bad experience with the recent buying process with builders mortgage and couple of sales rep.I am fortunate to close the house on time.

Not happy with issues at property. Will not buy another Lennar home.

7 Months delayed, no proper progress updates during this time, incomplete things, did not provide what they told\showed me. Very un-professional dis-organized procedure was not expected from Lennar. Still trying to get things done with no timely response.

Not happy with hundreds of 1 star reviews on Lennar.

This experience has been way too stressful to even go into detail. So many issues and so many broken promises. No one gets back to you and when they do, it’s nothing but excuses. You schedule for things to be fixed and the contractors don’t show up after you’ve waited around all day for nothing. Missing light bulbs, horrible paint job, grout and paint all over the place, toilet paper holders falling off the walls, pavers loose, crooked poorly installed drawers, dirty carpets. The list goes on and oh! These things were supposed to be completed upon the second walk through and they weren’t. I was promised and asked “do you trust me to finish it?” I stupidly agreed and it never got done. Shame on me for believing it, but shame on Lennar for lying and not getting the job done and getting mad at the buyer when there’s a concern. ... More

This our 3rd time buying a home, 2nd time buying a new build. We had to extend the closing date three times because the home wasnt finished. We did a walk-through before closing and gave a list to the builder of all the things that needed fixing. Some were cosmetic, but some were big deals such as the sofit was missing by the front door, the outside of the house needed to be painted (still gray with stucco), and the some doors didnt have hinges or locks. Nothing was fixed before closing and we were told someone would come during our first week. No one came for almost a month and only took care of the cosmetic things (re-caulking, etc). They then said since i already closed, everything else needed to be requested under the warranty because they need to prioritize finishing the other units. Where was that work ethic when it came to finishing my home? Ive since submitted the request via warranty and theyre getting fixed slowly but surely. ... More

Was a horrible experience, no communication whatsoever at any moment and builder was horrible

Will never buy another subpar product from Lennar. Poor quality, poor construction, poor execution. Don’t fall for the trick that everything will be fixed post closing. Walk away or trust me don’t get involved in this fiasco. Talked with 3 neighbors who experienced the same issues. This is just plain poor business practice and flat our wrong. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company; wish I did.

Terrible experience. We pushed to close on a house that was not finished and poorly constructed. We still have extensive damage that needs to be repaired.

Too long to txt.

Brand new house with a lot of issues.Severals. Wasting time doing claims to be cover by warranty. Staff don’t perform the right job on the site. Totally disappointed.

My experience has been horrible The team especially Beth my warranty lady, lacks urgency and seems to be a bit overwhelmed with her workload. I constantly have had to follow up with your office to try get things fixed in my house. I have An ongoing request that has been going on for a month. I have even reached out to your division president and I have not gotten a response. I reached out to Mark over 1 week ago with no return phone call. This company does not find customer service important. I will not purchase a lennar home again neither will I recommend anyone to purchase a home from Lennar. You guys don’t care. ... More

I would never recommend you guys to anyone I wish I could tell people when I see them in the neighborhood not to buy here it is the worst house it was put together like a 5 year old did it sorry I brought with you guys

Lennar is the worst home buying experience you could ever imagine. Broken appliances . the expectation is for them to completely inconvenience you and nothing ever gets resolved. Dryer broken, stove leaks gas.. techs have been out 3 times now. Still not resolved.Every issues is another problems issue

1. poor communication within departments; no one takes ownership; it's a pass-the-hot potato mentality. We were told.. “to sign this” with no exceptions or you can't close, with issues pending. House was dirty with bugs and spider, paint in the rugs. 2. Day one range did not work, had to wait 3 weeks to get it fix, and no one cared. 3. Electrical issues, took you 31/2 weeks to get it fixed, and you knew it was a known issue. You could care less if we had power. 4. Loan officer's poor communication had to chase the officer down to lock in my rate. 5. Would not recommend

Poor quality construction Poor post closing support Very good marketing team

This has been the worst experience of my life

During my final walk- through inspection, I noted several items that needed taken care of and informed the Lennar builder representative of these requests (kitchen cabinets missing shelves, sloppy sheetrock mud and exterior paint already starting to peeling to name a few.) After being assured that these items would be corrected, I proceeded to sign my closing documents. After 7 weeks of moving into my new home, and several phone calls and messages being sent to the builder's office requesting service, I am still waiting for these items to be taken care of. In addition to this, I had the supply line under my sink break loose during the night flooding most of my home. Lennar did respond to this immediately and arranged for the plumbing company and a water removal/ remediation company to come that day. I'm hoping that Lennar will step up and take care of the damages that I incurred quicker than my recent experience with them has been. ... More

shoddy workmen ship, rushing to get things done, workers did not seem not to have any pride in their work.
