Lennar Reviews

We have purchased several homes in the past, and this by far has been our worst experience. First, we had many difficulties with the builders in order to get the issues fixed correctly in the home before the signing date. The representative who was assigned to us and who suppose to be handling these issues, made us feel like we were in the wrong for bringing them to his attention, and he tried to pursued us that these issues were not valid. We had to go over his head a couple of times in order to resolve them. Very disappointed in the customer service. As far as the actual closing, we had to do a lot of the leg work ourselves in order to get the closing completed. We literally had to go to Lennar's attorney's office twice because they were not returning our calls, which was within just a few days of closing. If we did not made these trips ourselves, our closing would have fallen to the next business week, which would have cost us a substantial amount of money and caused several other issues. This was extremely stressful and unnecessary. We will never buy from Lennar again, and urge people to do their homework before choosing a builder. On the upside, we do love our home and the location. ... More

This is the second lennar house and the experience Of this second purchase was not very professional Employees disappearing/ massive punch list/ difficult to get in touch with and frankly while staff was over stressed and hanging breakdowns under the stress On employee had breakdown during a handover mtg Not a pleasant experience

Had a bad experience with the recent purchase. I was either given with a wrong mailbox key or the label inside mailbox is swapped. I’m only getting mails of my neighbour. Followed up with postal office and they say they’re delivering mail to correct box. HOA does not help with this and no one from Lennar owns this issue to resolve. The issue is still unresolved

I was really excited to buy my first ever home but after the experience I’ve had with LENNAR I would have chosen differently. The experience I had with the mortgage team started off very rough and I experienced very poor communication and errors with the loan officer. I wanted to get a new home expecting that I would not have many issues however since moving in, that’s all I’ve had. Not to mention the cleanliness of the home upon move in was just unacceptable. I have spent days on my hands and knees scrubbing floors clean and covering many holes where caulking was missing to avoid pests. I would not buy LENNAR again nor would I recommend them. The positive thing about LENNAR is that they take the warranty claims seriously and they reach out pretty quickly to get things resolved. Since moving in 1.5 months ago I have had to submit 7 warranty items already. ... More

After the walk through nothing has been repaired. We also have not been able to complete the warranty process. Call numbers and no one will return calls. Make sure everything is done before you close or you will be extremely disappointed

It’s been a roller coaster ride since the day since we signed the contract. Just to highlight our issues: - construction/closing delayed multiple times from December 2022 to April 2023 eventually. - the workmanship is below par at best. - the walls are not straight. If you point it out, the standard response is that it is within spec. - window sills are misaligned. I had to follow up almost daily and eventually fixed it on the morning of closing. - The paint used and the job is shoddy. Wipe with a damp cloth and the paint comes off! Even the lightest touch will scuff the walls and remove the paint. - the contract had one color for the cabinets but we got the house with a different color altogether. Thankfully we liked the new one. So worked out for us. - the floors are squeaky! - the one positive thing is the warranty and service team (although they reject a lot of items as being “within spec”, they fix the other stuff pretty quickly. So to sum it up, make sure to walk each and every room of the house and inspect it from top to bottom. After you close, neither the sales team nor the construction team will bother to respond with a helpful answer. ... More

Horrible experience Lies on many things

For the price paid, the interior of the condo has poor quality materials. Parking assignment was terrible. I bought a unit in building 10 however they assigned parking near building 7. They wouldn’t disclose this details during the final walkthrough and were sneaky about it. Now, Lennar and the HOA are pointing fingers at each other. Guess who suffers? Me and my family.

Being a first time home buyer, I wasn’t familiar with the process of purchasing a home. The information required was understandable since it’s a large purchase however it was time consuming and extremely detailed. Once that was complete I thought the worst part is over. I was wrong. One week prior to signing my papers I was told it needed to be extended, I understood. The second part, I was told that the home I was purchasing (which was completed except for minor details) was inspected and it was valued at about 13K more that I was paying. I was told I needed to pay that difference. At this point I understood the price was set, as well as my down payment and monthly mortgage. I couldn’t afford to pay this amount. I was then told what can I pay and I stated I couldn’t afford anymore. The agent stated he would contact the area president and would explain why I couldn’t pay the full amount but was able to pay an additional 1K. I was told of this offer was declined, I wouldn’t be moving into my home. I was upset, and was ready to give up. After a couple of days I was informed my offer was accepted and I’d be receiving a final overview of my down payment and the other details involved. Upon reviewing my documents I noticed that they increased my down payment by 6K more. This was the third time my down payment was increased. I was pretty upset. I was explained why, which was something that was previously discussed with an agreement and solution. My overall experience was horrible and I feel somewhere in this process someone messed up and tried to get me to pay for the mistake. Disappointed and wouldn’t recommend. Now I’m moved and it’s been more issues, such as my A/C and electrical issues that apparently are not up to code. I signed my papers latter part of March and moved first week in April and still dealing with electrical issue. ... More

My loan and mortgage officer Anna and Deacon were completely unresponsive for days leading up to closing and terrible about returning emails, texts, and phone calls. Very frustrating process. Our salesperson Trent showed us online a home with wood flooring and when we asked for photos of the home he sent us two photos are night showing very little. When we saw the hole with tile flooring and were upset he just said "well it was in the contract."

Kept being told this would be one of our happiest moments, had many issues and concerns still haven’t been addressed and have moved in still waiting to get some resolution. Luv my home but overall experience was horrible and still not able to enjoy our home. Very poor communication at the very beginning, still lack of her and now. Felt so rushed and pushed and thrown to the side. Hope no one else had to or will have to experience what we did. My realtor was the only one I felt that was really here helping and supporting us. Neighborhood is wonderful so far.. wouldn’t change anything

Wouldn’t recommend LENNAR to anyone still trying to get get doors flipped right side up no handles on doors took two months to get lights in rooms

They changed the building code to have your drain pipe from your hvac system to drain in your master bedroom sink and it makes a loud gurgling sound every time the heater or a/c is turned on so it’s impossible to get sleep. They won’t come and reroute it either. I wish I would have used my realtor instead of their’s. I would not recommend using their loan officer, get your own! worst experience I have ever had buying a house. I will never buy another lennar home.

As an investor I'm not sure I would ever purchase from Lennar ever again. My experience with the Lennar team in Pensacola was a nightmare and frustrating. They have you come in and put blue tape on all imperfections and giving you full confidence that these items will be fixed only to have you come back on closing day to show you that the imperfections we're taken care of when they weren' knowing that you are closing later that day they assure you that these items will be taken care of then they don't follow through. They also did a switcharoo of the person conducting the walkthru between the initial walk thru and the final walk thru so that the person conducting the final walk thru has an excuse to say that he wasn't there and didn't know about xyz. I have photos of every imperfection I took that we taped during our initial walkthru and they did not fix these in full during the final walk thru. By then they have removed all the blue tape so you can only take them at their face value which isn't worth much at all. Crooked if you ask me. Then lennar financing calls you when you're 70% within the process with your mortgage lender and throws your mortgage lender under the bus and tries to snipe you away from your current lender after talking crap about them and offering us a lower rate if we increased the price on the sale price we already negotiated and finalized. I have all the call logs and emails between lennar mortgage and I during that time and my realtor was notified as well along with the loan officer and we both were astounded by the unprofessionalism of this company. Give me the reigns on running this entire pensacola branch and I will fire most of the personnelle as this isn't the gold standard you expect from a company who supposedly has ethics and integrity to uphold. They also have a 60+ page contract, that you must review in full... Skip a page and you end up with them taking the shirt off your back. There's alot of loopholes within the contract that is only beneficial for lennar... It is not anywhere near a standard farbar contract. I can go on and on but this is more than enough to reflect why I rated this company low. ... More

We closed the home a couple of months ago. The house was not ready to be closed due to several issues found during the final walkthrough. But we closed as they promised to fix all items on the same day. But they did not fix all issues. I had a terrible experience working with a few folks. After I moved into the house, I found several issues and reported them to Lennar’s warranty department, and waiting for their response. I went back to my apartment in NJ as no internet is available, and I needed to work from home. I fixed several issues associated with the washer. The dishwasher doesn’t work correctly. No power connection to the internet panels. No grounding rod is installed. Poor painting. Overall I had a very bad experience working with Lennar. Hopefully, they will learn one day how to treat customers with respect and gratitude. ... More

This was one of the most stressful processed I have been through. If we hadn't loved the floorplan and neighborhood I would have walked away from a $15K deposit. To say that communication was terrible is putting it lightly. It was essentially nonexistent. I sent 100s of emails that went completely ignored and unanswered. Our sales rep deliberately misled us to calm us down when we were really exhausted from the process. While he didn't outright lie he did mislead and showed highly unethical service. We were delayed time and time again. They even pushed our closing on the day of closing with no one telling us when the new day would be for another 5 days. When we finally got into our home there were still many items that were not completed, painting, doors, etc. The materials are cheap builder grade which is to be expected so I can't completely fault them there. On the positive the warranty team has been wonderful. If anyone is considering buying with Lennar I would be sure you really love the house and neighborhood and add 3 months on top of whatever they tell you is the timeline. Also, don't expect communication and be prepared to experience the worst customer services of your life. ... More

Working with Lennar was a nightmare. I’d heard negative stories from friends and my real estate agent about buying a home from Lennar, but I’m usually a pretty easy going guy, so I didn’t expect to actually have any issues with them. I was very wrong. Two of my friends who were also moving into this development backed out of their contract and sacrificed their $3,000 deposit because of how bad their bad experience was. Instead, they went with a DR Horton development and loved it. I decided to stick with Lennar, but in retrospect, I wish I would’ve backed out too. Their communication is horrible. They don’t respond to most emails, texts, or calls. They didn’t schedule a closing date and time with me until a couple of days before, which by that time, I’d already had travel plans and had to make adjustments. They changed the flooring for my house from what they had initially told me, and didn’t even bother to give me a heads up. They tried to strong-arm me into using Lennar’s lender, even threatening at one point that they weren’t going to let me close if I switched to my preferred Lender. On closing date, they promised that they’d have the certificate of occupancy from the city that same day. Because of that, I agreed to go ahead and close. However, when I went to get my keys the next day, they wouldn’t give them to me because they still hadn’t received the certificate. I felt tricked and manipulated. It was incredibly upsetting that I had just bought a house and couldn’t even get my keys to move it. Immediately after moving in, the garbage disposal and dishwasher stopped working. My mailbox key didn’t open my mailbox. Instead, it opened someone else’s mailbox. Lennar is having to reprint keys to my box, and to this day, I still can’t access my mail. But I can access my neighbors mail. They haven’t responded to me or given me any kind of update about when this will be fixed. A month in, and my cabinets are pulling away from the wall (which isn’t covered by warranty), so I have to fix the issue myself. I closed on my house over 6 weeks ago, and I still don’t have a working dishwasher or garbage disposal, I can’t even access my mail, and I’m having to fix cabinets. ... More

Do not recommend buying homes from Lennar ever. The home is fine, and we enjoy it compared to paying considerable amount of money to rental agencies, and we had to do a lot of work to our home after we purchased, in order for it to feel livable. The process of buying a home with Lennar was 0 out of 5 stars. We almost didn’t go through with the buying based on the communication and lack of willingness to fix issues with the home prior to close. We were so frustrated we were willing to lose our 3k deposit. If you do happen to buy a Lennar home, know that you will like your home as long as you invest your own energy into making it better. 100% get your own inspection done and be thorough. Give yourself a good 30-60 extra days before closing so you don’t get stuck with all the builders mistakes. And be prepared to spend extra out of pocket to upgrade the home or fix things they won’t fix because they’re not compassionate humans, and they work for a corporation that doesn’t allow them to admit fault anywhere. Process - 0 of 5 stars Home - 4 of 5 stars after we fixed all the issues and upgraded the builder grade install options Yard - 1 of 5 stars. Tree is nice and the irrigation is great to be connected to Yardbird, but the landscaping will have to be all redone. Our entire backyard is mud anytime it rains. ... More

It was my worst experience buiding a home . Quality is extremely poor, standards are very low for the premium price that was paid. Most of the workers don't speak English and try to do a quick very poor job . Would not recommend them to anyone

I just moved in to this brand new construction and I found out how bad the finishing and the materials quality are poor: all doors and baseboards are chipped, the guest bathroom tub is broken, toilette lid is broken in the master, appliances have dents, garage walls and ceilings not painted, cracks in the garage ceiling and concrete, cracks on the patio concrete, etc I submitted a SR to have things fixed before I move in to the house and they insisted in doing an online inspection even though I informed I have no internet connected in the house and the 5G signal was bad. All Service Requests have been close as they have been fixed and never have done anything yet. Very bad experience ! ... More

Lennar homes tried to sell us the home which was 80% complete. They force is to close threatening to take away the deposit money. We had a 80 items on the to do list at the time of walk-through end since we have closed two months ago, I have had no luck in getting any of those items taken care

The disorganized nature of your closing process and miscommunication was unparalleled. Never had a more frustrating experience in my life. Unresponsive. Rude. Disorganized. Lack of knowledge etc. I could not get keys but finally a woman who was a manager took time 7am on a Sunday morning to let me in. She was really helpful, annd fantastic , and an exception the the rule.

Bad experience with stuart and the Ivan (Customer rep). This is regarding the dent on the refrigerator. David inspected (Sep 20th) the house before we moved in. And found there is a big dent to the refrigerator and he contacted the respective team to replace it with a new one. Seems they agreed for a replacement (I don't know who he contacted). Till now no one contacted me for a replacement. It's been months and no one contacted me on this. I was not expecting this kind of service from Lennar. I was emailing Ivan and Donald (director of customer care). Still there is no response till date. The worst customer server i have ever faced in my US stay (10 years). ... More

Workmanship is terrible. The grass in the garden is pretty much dead at this point. No toilet paper holders, shower rails, soap dishes, broken roof tiles, damaged windows screens, lamp on the front lawn doesn’t work, cracked/missing tiles in the driveway, unwired faceplates throughout the home, paint dripping over light switches/tiles, holes behind all light switches, loose fixtures in the all bathrooms, all windows blinds hung the wrong way, gaps in doors throughout the home, missing stucco all over the outside of the home, grass wasn’t placed Properly resulting in tripping hazards everywhere, broken cabinet doors, rusted cabinet handles, drawer handles different for each drawer, broken dryer, rusted bathroom fixtures. I paid 50k over asking price and the house needs a lot of work ... More
