Lennar Reviews

Our home buying experience wasn’t bad at first but the closer we got to closing the worse the experience was. The mortgage company told us they couldn’t lock our rate when I asked and then when our payment jumped up $400 in a matter of two months, they finally locked our rate. We were told we would close mid June so we scheduled our family vacation for the last week or May. Only to be told, that we’d close on 5/31/22. We checked the house before we left and it did not look ready for closing. We were correct. Lennar forced the closing with many items incomplete. Upon arriving back from vacation and trying to move in, we found the AC upstairs wasn’t working and the power in the master suite wasn’t either. We had drywall spray cover trim all throughout the house. We had exposed screws in every room. The back door wouldn’t lock and an upstairs window was damaged. We had various plumbing issues and tile issues. Our front entry was a disgrace. Words cannot describe the magnitude of issues the home had when we moved in. Yet, we were forced to close and were repeatedly told that if we did anything to stop the closing that we would lose the $24k we put down and would lose the home. They told us if that happened we could buy the house back for even more than we signed for months prior. We had no option but to close on a home that was not ready for people to live in. ... More

DO NOT SEND US MORE EMAILS OR DO NOT CONTACT US ANYMORE. Lennar is the worst company to work with. I will encourage all my friends not to use you as an option.

Worst buying experience in my life 7 months late, incomplete at time of closing,still have a dozen open items on the to do list. Can’t get a return phone call

This is our second home with Lennar and I’m extremely disappointed with this experience. Lennar Mortgage was more interested in finishing their paperwork a month out rather than handling things at a proper pace. My husband felt harassed by them. On closing day no one bothered to contact me to sign documents. I had to make phone calls to get an appointment. I’ve had to put in numerous work orders because our house of shoddy workmanship. I’m still waiting on resolution on items.

almost 3 months behind schedule even though all supplies were here, would tell us 2 more weeks so we checked everyday, no one was working on house. When we were told a home inspection which we were paying for could be done work in house was not finished you didn't even have a water meter here. One wall had no electricity at all, we were told it was repaired and it wasn't. So many things not taken care of from final walk thru and house was not cleaned. Not sure what ever happened to customer satisfaction but Lennar has none. Neighbors on both side's had same sort of issues. Nice homes but will never buy another one due to lack of caring if your issues are handled or not. ... More

Get your money and drop you as fast as they can. Been asking for items to be fixed for over 6 weeks without any progress. Started fixing items myself. Reported a water leak over 4 weeks ago and still waiting for anything to be done. Have no idea what damage that is causing. Still waiting on painting to be done and the gutters leak water everywhere but where they are meant to put it. Very sad buying experience!

Really bad experience with the Lennar corporate office. They move slow and are always 3 steps behind the title company, sales office, agents, and CMs

Please keep away from Lennar. They tell you one thing and then do something in the back. When questioned, they say, "oh my mistake" etc or delegate that messaging to someone else. No one really takes responsibility for the mistakes.

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION !WE WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT A DELAY ON OUR HOME BEING BUILT UNTIL WE MADE LENNAR AWARE THAT OUR HOUSE WAS RUNNING MONTHS BEHIND.... WE CLOSED 2 MONTHS AFTER THEIR "WORST CASE SCENARIO DATE". THEY HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED AND THEY DO NOT COMMUNICATE WELL WITH EACH OTHER OR THE CONSUMER... MAIN PROBLEM IS ETTA , HE A SALESMAN AT LENNAR AND TELLS EVERYONE THAT LENNAR STANDS BEHIND WHAT THEY DO, BUT THATS NOT THE CASE... THEY HAVE SCREENED IN PORCH AS A STANDARD FEATURE ON ALL OF THEIR HOMES IN WILLOW SQUARE. ETTA TOLD US THEY DID NOT INCLUDE IT IN OUR ORDER AND THAT THEY WILL NOT INSTALL IT, EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE INSTALLED EVERYONE ELSES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SAID WE COULD FIND SOMEONE TO INSTALL IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1500.00 TO 2,000.00 DOLLARS. WE GO TO OUR CLOSING AND WAITED 3 HOURS TO GO HOME HEARTBROKEN AND CONFUSED. ETTA WOULD NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE WHILE WE WERE WAITING, AND WHEN HE FINALLY DID - 3 HRS WAITING AT THEIR OFFICE - HE SAYS THE COUNTY DID NOT SIGN OFF ON A FORM.... AND NO APOLOGY , OK ATLEAST TELL US INSTEAD OF HAVING US TAKE OFF WORK FOR NOTHING! AFTER WE CLOSED AND MOVED THEY FAILED TO INSTALL SEVERAL THINGS AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR ONLY TO GET AN ANSWER FROM ETTA SAYING THERES NO USE, I HAVE ALREADY ASKED THE MANAGER , AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER... THEY ALSO RAISED THE PRICE DUE TO " MARKET CONDIITIONS" AND TRIED TO PLAY A GAME OF BIDDING WARS EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO OTHER BUYERS BIDDING, THEY JUST SAID THIS IS THE NEW PRICE - 30K HIGHER THAN ADVERTISED. SO IN SHORT THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY GOODWILL TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY, AND TELL THE CONSUMER WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR! ... More

Poor workman ship Had to request VP sales to assist me to get things fixed

I just bought the home and the appliances needed to switched out abs a bathroom leak started. All of this is putting my property on pause for a month due to lack of builders attention and appliances are the worse!

Lennar builds decent homes with functional floor plans, but they have no scruples and will keep on smiling while they ignore any request you make and any obligation they have to create decent communities. Their sales agents were unhelpful and unresponsive, their main office staff were rude, and they sold the houses on BOTH sides of me to an investor who’s now rented one to people who are violating our city occupancy limits. The tenants have five cars parked up and down the block, and trash in the front yard. The house on the other side of me sits empty and abandoned, but honestly that’s better than the alternative. It’s sad to think that in a neighborhood where houses cost from the high $500s to the mid $700s, Lennar cares so little about what happens once they pull out and move on. They’re the very definition of a slick self-serving corporation. My region is high-growth with skyrocketing home prices and very low inventory, so when we wanted to downsize we had few options, but if I had to do it again, I’d definitely buy from the other builder in the neighborhood who is local, and skip corporate, faceless Lennar. ...

Quality of work on the house wasn’t what we expected. There’s a lot of things that still need to be fixed and it’s been 2 since I closed. They need to be more attentive to there customers.

I'm just glad it's over, and I'll leave it right there!

To be honest since day one I've been having bad experience with Lennars Home from the day I gave my deposit until my closing date plus things that currently have not been fixed when I was advised it will only take a week after my closing date. Just unacceptable.

My experience was horrible since we felt were forced to sign on a house that wasnt to our liking. I had a better experience with KB homes then Lennar. I expected more from Lennar since theyre "BETTER" then KB homes but my experience with KB was excellent compared to Lennar. My home feels like it was slapped together just for us to sign and move in.

Not a good experience at all. Quality is not a priority. Management has worked to make things right. However, the experience is ruined and the home is not what we expected.

Poor experience. House built poorly. Still finding garbage everywhere they put the sod down over garbage I had to pull roof shingles out from underneath my lawn. Very disappointed.

Long story short, 47 days after closing on my property I am not able to move-in due to several deficiencies that violate building codes, industry standards, manufacturer’s requirements, and/or required building performance standards as identified by a structural engineer. A week ago, the county issued a correction order. Lennar Homes knew of several deficient areas prior to settlement and still forced me to close or lose my deposit and closing costs ($80K). Given the situation, I had no choice but to purchase the property. I am now working with the Customer Care Department to make all corrections. I am not pleased and this process has been a total and complete nightmare. All of this could have been avoided if the property was built correctly. ... More

I have owned over 20 homes through out the years and this is the worst experience thus far . I have been in the home over 6 weeks and still with a lot of unresolved issues . The last issue that happened yesterday is that they came to replaced the masters bedroom carpet and in the process they damaged the frame of the closet door and even forgot to put it back in it’s place . I will have to spend another day from my business schedule to wait for work men again. This is just not acceptable and the list goes on ….

You should consider taking your business to another builder.

Based on my personal experience and some of the fine people I have met in the neighborhood I wouldn't recommend Lennar! The home buying experience should be a joyful time in your life especially your retirement home and they took the joy out of the process and turned it into a nightmare and they can't give that back to my wife and I no matter how much the eventually try to correct the poor workmanship and fit and finish.

Closed 2 months ago, still couldn’t move in due to issues not addressed as of yet

I was forced to close the house on 11/30/21 just so that Lennar can report the sales before year-end closing. Closing was originally scheduled for online and later changed to notary. Signing was done at 11pm EST on 11/30 which was completely unreasonable. Sales/title company were unresponsive; lack of proper planning/communication (as everyone was overwork). The whole street is not even available on google map. All the houses around me are still under going construction. Rajmani is the only one that's responsive and be able to provide great service.

AFTER we moved in we found MANY cut corners and issues of rushed or shoddy construction standards BEHIND appliances, still unable to get RING DOORBELL and security system set up, when you buy a NEW home this should not happen, during walk through notice front door needed to be painted now it doesn't hang right and is difficult to lock. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
