Lennar Reviews

First our closing process was the most stressful and unprofessional as you can experience. Pushed , delayed, communication was poor and even threatened to lose our house . Wouldn't lock us in till 2 weeks before close with very little notice , tried to jack our rates up . Building process was same , using subcontractors with poor work inside and out. And been a nightmare getting fixed , tried to force DocuSign without completing work. NOT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED as lennar states, they changed our wall color with no choice but accept. No warranty for landscaping at all , paint is sloppy , blisters and knots in walls that they will not fix . Grout all over bathrooms cabinets. Do not trust this company and many neighbors are saying the same thing. Very poor sloppy work. Worst builders I have ever experienced with. Please do not go with a lennar home there is a 65% chance you definitely will have problems from the beginning. ... More

There are more than 150 blue tape markers covering everything from numerous uneven floor tiles, gaping at every door frame and baseboard joint, broken window frames, window panes without gas revealing moisture, roof has more than a dozen non-matching tiles replaced before possession, two very visible and disturbing depressions in the roof giving a wave-like image to the tiles, concrete and stucco splashed over window & door frames, the home was not properly cleaned following construction, entry door step plates are dented, scratched and appear to be borrowed from a warehouse, exterior paint has dried to three different shades of the original color, all eaves lack a much needed second coat of paint (easily seen by a casual observer . . . where was the painter?). The refrigerator was severely scratched, apparently at delivery, but was not noted by Lennar and Frigidaire refuses to be responsible, interior paint is so poorly done as to require a complete re-do. Nothing is properly cut-in. Over-spray, poorly cut at wall-baseboards, scratches on the ceiling, missing vent cover in master water closet. Workmen with dirty hands leaving hand-prints, yes, the entire hand, on the attic access panel. The entry door was painted in a rush and none of is clear with over-spray on the window panes, scratches and no painting below the bottom trim panel. Cabinets are poorly aligned & the self-closing function is 50-50. The AC condenser held up the close until one was located at a model an moved to my home - the vents on the unit are bent in numerous locations. Incredibly the list goes on . . . Lennar's customer service reps are stand-up folks but the people who actually built and supervised the construction of this house failed. ... More

Lack of communication, lennar mortgage will not lock rates in advance, prior to closing service is bad enough imagine once you closed, they don’t care, i put 3 tickets for same work and it’s still not done. Don’t blame the people who works at lennar I blame the system they have in placed, most employees

Lennar have no integrity. I still have issues with blue tape. Submit work orders and they are closed without being done. I will not recommend Lennar at all. From the sales representative (Jeannette Beltran)to, the person I did the new home orientation (Annisa) to the Construction Man. (Chris) no integrity, don't solve your issues. Rick is another one that keep calling me to make appointments and mever show up to fix the work orders. Lennar is a circus

I am very disappointed with all processes that I have been engaged in. I secured a mortgage with Lennar only to have this company break every law and promise to my wife and I. I have spent hours looking up previous reviews and on-going issues and they are not good! I am going to make a highly recommendation that this company should be investigated.

Home building process not done in correct order causing more work appearance problems. Paint on driveway and patio pavers, paint drips on floors and walls, texture sprayed on our kitchen cabinets, no power to one of our bedrooms.

If at all possible stay away from a Lennar home! Very very very poor quality work, not responsive, and misleading, And if you still decide to buy from Lennar…. you best make sure you hire your own inspector!

Terrible workmanship, dishonest, difficult to get things done. We closed in November and are still dealing with items that have not been completed.

I understand the labor and material shortage due to COVID but want get the new home completed even with delay. However, the new home has many items not finished such as the garage door. We have been forced to accept new house with many uncompleted things and defects. We have given Lennar construction supervisor a list of things need be improved but has nothing done so far.

I am having a very bad experience with getting issues corrected on a home I closed on Nov. 30th and paid way over asking price. The electrical company is yet to show up to install electrical fixtures, havent showed up 2 times already. Cabinet doors not set correctly, installed the wrong closet doors, grout in tile has all damages and dirt imbedded in it. Closet shelves are all crooked. I am very disappointed with what I am dealing with!!

Price is too high Material is very cheap It’s been two month already things are getting bad

Exterior and interior construction was rushed and shoddy. Construction manager and supervisor lied so much to homeowners on what they've promised they were going to do. My cabinet has a cracked before moving in September and still waiting on replacement. Still waiting on lanai to be installed as well. It's almost February now and nothing has been done. They put so many tapes to all over the house to remind them which ones needed attention and all they did was took them off. Nothing has been done. I will never reccomend Lennar. What I will recommend is a class action lawsuit against them. ... More

Every step of the way, we encountered issues. From the sales process, to the mortgage, to title listing the wrong fees on our CD, to having closing delayed two and a half months, no communication, they had the wrong carpet installed during our walkthrough, items listed to be fixed before closing were not, and now dealing with major issues post-closing and contractors show up whenever they want and just leave without finishing the work. Poor communication, lack of workmanship, no real customer service. They just want to move fast and get your money.

During this 6 months Journey our house practically build itself without any concerns or diligence from any of the construction managers. Outstanding issues like the shifting of our entire foundation was never even recognized unless I physically came over to the construction site and made them aware. Our Sales guy Patrick was completely oblivious of the status of our home and when we asked for any updates we would always have to wait for days before getting a response or would never get one at all. Our “Construction manager” changed 5 times during the course of the construction process, and in a few cases the home had no CM assigned to it. They all would say that “they really didn’t know what was going on with our home but that eventually it was going to get built…” We paid about 400k for a home that never felt that it was being built for us. There was no structure and no organization and definitely no communication from the operations side to the home buyers. You cant pretend that people spend this amount of money just to be kept in the dark until the home is completely built. This has not been our first home purchased but it has definitely been the worse. The finished product was unfinished. And we had to make over 30 warranty claims so that they can complete all the outstanding items. Without mentioning the huge grading issue that we were left with, the home being painted the wrong color, the electrical being wired wrong and the knee wall of our loft upstairs being completely loose. I HATE writing bad reviews and over analyzing a purchase. But honestly this process was so bad that it demands the attention of higher ranking personnel. ... More

I have worked with several other builders and this home buying experience with Lennar by far is the worst. Builder rushed closing when the house was technically not ready. Lots of issues were promised to be fixed by move-in and ended up taking over months. Severe plumbing issues were found and quality of workmanship and materials is way below standard. I will never buy another house from Lennar again.

Don’t try to buy a home around the fiscal year end or any fiscal quarter because your home will be slapped to get it off their books and try to show a good profit. So many problems from rushing through a NHO to closing that problems and issues were not fixed or prior to closing due to doing a “Pre-sign” for closing.

Not responsive to quality of workmanship and materials.

Very Bad. experience. Terrible craftsmanship.

This is not the first time our family purchases a Lennar home which is the reason we are shocked and disappointed by the poor experience. Our home was delayed and finished months later than expected. At closing, items were not finalized. We were promised these items would be addressed in a timely matter. It has been months since closing and the customer service rep and construction manager are not responding to our inquiries as to when the “temporary items” will be finalized. To top it off, the interior finish has several poor quality products that were visibly damaged at installation. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. We regret the purchase of this Lennar home. Would not recommend. ... More

Not great, very disappointed with process

Very poor craftsmanship,from the wood framing ,siding,tile,etc.Would not recommend Lennar at all.

Stay away from lennar, costumer service disappears the second you sign the contract. Furthermore they will lie to you about the build quality and potential issues the house might have until you have signed. Do yourself a favor and find a different builder.

It was a rough experience from the start. We had a sales man that was just that a salesman. It was tough to get updates because he has to constantly wait on someone else. It would be beneficial once locked in to be able to speak directly with the construction manager as there was a lot of inconsistencies. Even after telling them of the issues with the home early on, on the final walk through these issues were still present. Timeliness to get things fixed is practically having to stay on top of them because there is no action otherwise. It’s sad, the home itself the floor layout we fell in love with. But the whole process for us was a nightmare. From start to even now. We still have issues that are not corrected and it’s sad to say. To top it off, it just seems like bandaids or excuses for how things are. We were constantly told there is no issue for them to come back and say oh there is something missing because we had to continually press on the issue saying it’s not working properly. They should take faults in things that are done incorrectly and not try to cover it up with excuses. For a company that everything is included, customer service is not one of those things. ... More

From the beginning this has been a poor experience for me with Lennar. I was relocating from WA to AZ and was so excited that my wife and I were able to save up enough money to purchase a home. The sales person that was in-charge of the Arroyo Secco section never listed was worried about getting a commission more than understand what we were looking for. Because were were not in AZ we of course depended on Lennar team and her to give us the proper information and help us with the construction process. This was a mistake. It was hard to get a hold of people they would take days to respond or not give us the information. 3 different people reached out to us saying they would provide pictures/videos that only happened when I reach out to the them. I had to continue to do this throughout the coming weeks. During the walk thru and the closing she just stopped by for about 2 min and left. We closed on our home Nov 4th during that time we found a few things that needed to be fixed and things during the walk through. We put in the work orders at the end of Nov and it's now Jan 2022 and it still has not been fixed. When workers do stop by they have no idea what they are doing and do not have any work orders our Construction Field Assistant who we are supposed to reach out for these issues never has any answers and I have to text him 2-3 times a week to remind him about updates. It's very exhausting. As a first time homebuyer this was a terrible experience for me. One of the reason we decided to go with Lennar was because of the Nextgen. My father in-law is retiring and we wanted to be able to have him live with us so this was a great option, but if it was not for that portion I would never have gone with this company. There are so many more issues not only with this house, but even with things like the sidewalk. They have had to replace my and both of my neighbors drive ways and sidewalk cause all the concreate was cracking and that's currently now cracking in the garage foundation. ... More

After the closing, anything that came up was ignored
