Lennar Reviews

We are not first time home buyers and we did our due diligence to make sure we were pursuing the best possible purchase available to us, but Lennar made the experience so horrible that we will never purchase another property through them again. Our understanding is that the laws in Florida allow for unethical, shady business practices by builders, where the sales and mortgage teams essentially lie and overpromise to the buyer to quickly lock in the sale and then once the truth of the details are established there is no option to cancel the contract and get the escrow funds back. The manipulation and bait & switch tactics are strategic, calculated, and widespread throughout the company. Zero protection is offered to the buyers and in many cases the quality of work doesn't line up with the purchase price. From the time we signed the contract until today (50 days after closing) we have been dealing with constant issues, lack of communication or wrong information from various individuals, no accountability, increased costs that were not disclosed, and unresolved punch list items. It's incredible and shocking to us that Lennar continues to do business this way and they are allowed to get away with it seemingly unscathed. ... More

Some of the workorders were not done and we mover in and now it's a inconvenience for me to work around other people's schedule

I'm very sad with everything Lennar has to offer.

By far, one of the worst experiences I’ve had with purchasing the home. Was informed incorrectly on multiple things. Would not recommend.

The sales people don’t know how do the job warranty people worst

The day before closing I showed up for final inspection to be told the house was not ready and I should have been contacted by sales. No one could tell me when it would be ready. Then I was told I would definitely close by the 29th. I closed on the 20th, 3 weeks later. Delays happen but it is clear they knew there would be a delay long before they notified me, 24 hours before closing. Now that I have been moved in about a month I still can not receive mail because my mailbox is in the construction zone and the key has not yet been provided to usps. No updates as to when this will be corrected as the construction manager, Anthony, is non responsive to calls and texts. The construction team also left a mess of nails, fast food trash, and construction debri in my backyard. I have a work order in for a broken screen, no response after 3 weeks. ... More

This house was not ready for occupancy. Still dealing several issues. Lennar construction is the sloppiest workmanship we’ve ever encountered. We expected more for the money.

When we were touring the homes, it was fine. But once we actually decided to pull the trigger, the experience was downhill from there. Typos in contracts, long wait times for a response to our questions, no response at all from Lennar mortgage loan officer (they tried to bait and switch us but luckily we had an outside lender lined up just in case this happened), and then the home wasn’t even completed by our walkthrough date. And this is just for starters. After closing, we’ve had a roof leak, broken refrigerator, and have noticed shoddy workmanship throughout the home. Definitely not worth the $1.5M we spent. One word if you’re considering Lennar: RUN!!!! ... More

The original house we got on contract for was not the house that was built. No drawers in any of the bathrooms, and not the kitchen cabinets that were in the home that we were told we were buying. We were not told about certain credit requirements for the interest rates until after we were under contract. We were told that we could not close in a certain month and then were rushed to close in that same month to get the home off of the books. The utilities were promised to be on at the time of the home inspection and were not on BOTH times the home was to be inspected. We finally had to back out of the original deal because of the multiple misinformations and seemingly overlooked items.Would not recommend Lennar to friends. ... More

Love the area, but from the start had a bad experience with Lennar. First, we asked for a different sales consultant which they provide a different one but the first was still involved with paperwork. Second, tried to screw me out of an interest rate lock which was already accepted. Builders did a poor job with material and not following design as they had to rebuild my island on move in day with it being to far over. With warranty repairs, also poor job with the fix of my plumbing leak. They sent out 4-5 different people from the same company to fix a simple drywall repair. They closed me in a different phase which ended up making me wait 3-4 weeks to get WiFi and other 5-6 weeks to get a mailbox key. Just an overall lack of communication. Only positive is that the area is fantastic. ... More

They cut corners on everything. Material, especially doors are incredibly cheap. The new house even looks like it's been lived in by other people for months. It's was dirty with lots of scratches when we took possession. We have all the photographs for evidence. The salespeople were tricky, sneaky, unwilling to help, and don't return calls most of the time. About the only tiny bright spot are the warranty/Lennar Care people who help address issues with the house. And there were tons of issues, probably more than 2 dozens. Will try to avoid Lennar in the future at all costs.

This is our first Lennar home. Very disappointed! Garage door not working after purchase, took two weeks for someone to come out! Lousy customer service. They are nice before closing, afterwards, zero customer service. Run, don't walk away from this builder! Cheap appliances, cheap paint used on walls, We moved from AZ where the builder actually cared about their customers. Very disappointed and let down by this builder. Would NEVER buy another Lennar home or recommend to anyone.

My sales associate was not very knowledgeable abt the questions I had and he was easily offended. The lender scrutinized our accounts and disqualified the money we had to bring to closing. The house's workmanship and materials seems well built but lacking some very important features that leave a big impression like no sprinkler system, no garage door opener, no covered back porch, no fans in any room, dining area too small for a dining table, living room too narrow, and grass is dying. Our plan is to sell as soon as possible and get into something better suited for our family.

We purchased our home a few months back and the process seemed like it was never going to end. Our sales agent Devonte did nothing besides open up the house for us to view and collect his commission, the process of getting approved was so murky that we never felt confident during any point in the process that we were going to end up with the home. The grading on our backyard was terrible, planks in our fence are already falling down, and 2 months in I have already had to have the irrigation company, flooring company, plumbing and a contractor come out to fix various issues that should have be fixed prior to move in. The workers in our neighborhood leave their trash, nails and other materials thrown around for the residents to clean. Awful first home buying experience ... More

It is take it or leave it with Lennar. No changes possible. When you ask office staff a question they are wrong most of the time.

From Agent in the Palm River neighborhood that told us so many things that weren't true or factual in anyway ( Like the Ring Camera that we specifically asked about multi times). She never communicated throughout the process. The price of the home changed multi times. The walk through had a considerably more bluetape markup and issues then any standard. the final closing a week later more than half of the stuff was not fixed or addressed and has carried on for weeks to them properly addressed and have not been able to fully move in the home almost two months later for lack of issues being addressed like the marks on the tile flooring. the place was never really clean at all on move in day. I had to spend hundreds of dollars in cleaning supplies and tools to do it myself. ... More

There's a lot of little issues with the house, mostly cosmetic. The dishwasher door doesn't close it's scraping the top of the counter. There's a lot of shotty work. The door frames are about an inch from the floor so they just filled it in with caulk. The grout is like sand and it just dusts away when you clean, it it just comes out from in between the tiles.. several broke in half quarter round pieces that they just fixed it with caulk, one door frame is even made with two separate pieces of wood that they just poorly patched but my biggest problem is the fact that this house has laminate plank flooring. I was told that it was lvp flooring, luxury VINYL plank flooring. On the listing and on the website for these homes it says hardwood which I knew it wasn't hardwood. On the appraisal for the house it says Hardwood but it's laminate garbage and I know it is because my dog threw up in the middle of the night and now the floor is warped and vinyl doesn't do that. The warranty guy I think his name was Joe even said it was vinyl flooring when he was doing the new home orientation. I wouldn't even have considered this house I wouldn't have even looked at these homes if I knew it was laminate flooring because my previous home had laminate flooring. ... More

As a fristime homebuyer, the sale associate, the lender and Lennar overall made the experiences tedious and difficult. The lack of communication, attention, and assistance during the process were unbelievable.

I’ve written my review on another questionnaire and it’s too long to write: but this was the worst experience for myself and my family . Worst , and I do not write negative reviews , so that should say something.

Sales agent was not helpful

Zero communication. Lack of care in blue tape walkthroughs, unprofessional staff (ESPECIALLY at the Lennar regional level), shoddy craftsmanship. I can especially observe this watching all of the other houses get built around me in Guadalupe Heights in Seguin. Trash getting blown all around, builders trying to steal packages off my front porch, dirt and debris in the road. I will always tell people to avoid Lennar at all costs. Cutting corners should be Lennar’s slogan.

Poor subcontractors choice Lack of supervision of work done by subcontractors Quality of materials poor Mass produced homes to maximize progits

Home buying process felt rushed, our realtor also stated we would receive 2 ceiling fans which were never given. Was told we needed to sign a contract that very same day or else the interest rate and pricing of the home would increase the following day. We asked our agent to go through the contract with us prior to signing and he refused due to him being busy. We ended up having to visit the model home to have another agent explain the contract to us. We believed this was very unprofessional. The loan process required too many personal documents and there were too many contacts to keep updated. We had to re-upload many forms/paperwork into the portal and were quoted 24/48 hour deadlines with the threat of our loan not being approved. We were also not told that our closing day was done in person as we were initially told it was remote. Did not receive the address of the location of closing until 2-4 hours before the building closed. We love our home but the process of buying from Lennar was overly dreadful. ... More

Brio, the home final walk-through, I made them aware of some issues of the flooring of the house and some other details. The day came of the final war. True they weren’t take care of the person in charge told me they were gonna take care of the same day came back after closing they were not taken care of it, plus I believe it was my underwriter. Wait until the last minute to actually start working on my lawn we were supposed to sign on in the morning didn’t sign into 809 at night time then the title company was sending my personal information.

Overall we were not happy at all. Lennar is a bottom line driven company with little or no concern for customer satisfaction. We would never build another Lennar home.
