Lennar Reviews

Workman ship is lousy. Responsiveness is awful. Forces closings before home is complete

This is by far the worst new home experience ever, due to the fact that the home was poorly done and rush with missing cabinets in which I have to wait until Feb to get finished, poor and sloppy job on the interior painting in which half of the wall were not even touch and had to paint myself. For this to be a new home felt like a fixer upper, Felt sorry for the new construction manager in which no fault of his own was very helpful and tried to fix many of the problems in which I was not the only one. I totally blame Lennar for rushing and allowing the sloppiness that took place for an over priced TH, very disappointed because my last Lennar home was perfect wish I would of kept that one ... More

We couldn’t move in for 30 days after closing because the sod wasn’t installed and we have dogs. Both yards were a giant mud pit, and the lack of sod almost caused the house not to close. Then when we needed to access the plumbing clean out, they had buried it in the dirt and sod and came in with a backhoe and ripped it all out. It has yet to be replaced. The house has flooded 3 times now when using the washing machine, dishwasher doesn’t work due to incorrect wiring. There’s a huge gap in between the floor and backdoor where cold air blows in constantly. Numerous other issues and we have only been in this brand new house for 2 weeks. After talking to neighbors, we are coming to expect many other issues to arrive in the near future. Disappointing to say the least. ... More

My experience was very bad. It started with the first walk-through. I identify some stuff. The second walk-through identified some stuff. It is now been 45 days in the items that I identified to be fixed is still not fixed. Follow up from all of the above is very, very poor. I asked for a price adjustment paid 15,000 more for the same home that sold across the street. overall a very bad experience.

Would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone. Sales associate to building supervisor were absolutely horrid. I arrived to my house after closing with front door lock improperly installed so I was unable to lock my front door. Was asked to just stay with it unlocked for one night. Frame or door was full of holes from whoever tried to install previously. After hours of waiting lock was fixed by neighbor. Front door and sliding door left open so home was very dusty and dirty. Sales associate, angie, stated someone would come clean. Never did. Building supervisor stated that I was being untruthful per Angie as walk through was day prior. Pictures were taken as proof. No hot water was available in home day 1 and 2. Boiler went bad within a week. Grass was also dying due to sprinklers not being “hooked up” as stated that they would be during walk through. Blue tape was left in home where items should have been painted but were not. Electrical issues were present as lights flicker and power trips in varies rooms, electrician blames OUC, OUC blames electrician. Was told excuse by building supervisor that buying a new home is like buying an older home. Only positive is that items are addressed by Linette quickly. ... More

Yes, their warranty service is fairly quick to respond, but we have severe water damage every time it rains. We have torn the drywall apart in the front room three different times. The seams of the house were not sealed, there was a fist in the block wall about the size of my fist. This is rental property and we haven’t been able to put a single renter in after three months. I will not buy another Lennar home, the workmanship and quality are just not there.

From delays all the way through the entire build. The The craftsmanship is terrible they’ve had to replace a couple of doors four times inside my house still haven’t got it right the trim work is uneven there’s painting is terrible the ceiling looks terrible all the way through have failed on this entire build on top of that The project manager/corporate lennar I don’t know who can’t figure out how to get mail to our mailbox post office says they have no idea which mailbox is ours so it’s just a terrible terrible experience I will tell everyone to never buy lennar

The whole process was a mess, things that were promised on walk through still not done. I’m currently being ignored by the guy who did my walk through and I put everything into the system and with Lennar to fix not one thing has been done. Haven’t had a functional garage door since move in either and a leak in my sprinkler that was promised to be repaired before move in… still not done.

Many issues, not the quality you would expect. They respond to issues, but speed to resolve is slow. They install cheap appliances.

A horrible experience. First, communication with everyone from sales to the mortgage team has to improve. There was no proactive communication from any of the representatives, except, obviously when something was needed from us. They changed our closing day three times, each of those times without advance notification. So you can imagine how fun it was to reschedule the movers etc. During our final walk, the Lennar rep. informed us that they couldn’t install the FLO by Moen due to an inventory shortage; hard to believe since all the houses in our street have it… Also, during the final walk, I asked the rep to include the driveway on the report, which he did but clearly said that they would not do anything to make the driveway looks better. He was right, it was not fixed, they did put a resurfacer, but it did not help at all. We decided not to push the issue since we needed a place to live and did not want to delay the closing any further. When we finally moved in, the title company sent the insurance check to a different insurance agency, long story short; we had to pay out of pocket to prevent being uninsured while they fixed their mistake. In summary, horrible customer service, I don’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Horrible workmanship and communication.

Bought the home and the move it was rushed. During the inspection the builder hid flaws on the counter top by taping the inspection notice over the defect during the walk thru. Once we closed the build has forced us to go thru the customer care site to fix problems and it has been a nightmare. Customer care rep is unresponsive, has not fixed any of our several issues and when I complained the customer care rep called me and berated me for complaining. 2 months in and I really regret using Lennar. Very disgusted with this builder and will never use or recommend to anyone.

Lennar provided the day for closing and there were a lot of items that were not completed/resolved prior to moving even though it was promised thet would be completed before closing. It’s difficult to get any responses from them to resolve outstanding issues and when they provide a date they don’t stick to it.

I have bought at least 3 new homes in Florida over the last 30 years and I can say this is the worst experience I have ever had. The house was not ready in any fashion before we took it over. They told us 1 day before closing that they could not close. We had to find another solution for a temporary home for another 3 weeks at the last minute without any explanation from Lennar. They promised to refund us for some of our extra costs but as yet it has not been given back. The workmanship is shoddy all round and since closing over 2 months ago we still have sticky blue markers all over the walls and cabinets that need attention. The floors weren't even cleaned from tradesmen's dirt on move in day - and they were still laying carpets and putting up blinds. ... More

Bathroom shower tile horribly done. Every door way is not square. Carpet was installed with gaps in the carpet pad. Drywall finish poorly done in various areas. Paint overspray on cabinets. Damaged cabinets installed. Trim work done incorrectly. Exterior was left with siding shims in place. Areas left painted.

The agent on site nice, but, she is supposed to be. That is the best and only best thing which can be said for the whole experience with Lennar. As far as the mortgage experience is concerned, if it were not for the incentives used I would not have used them. As to the subcontractors used, if they worked for me they would have to get better real quick or find another line of work. Subcontractors work rating is fair too poor and that can be appealed from floor, to ceiling, to outside.

This company is focused on just pushing numbers out the door rather than customer satisfaction. The overall experience has been very disappointing as I'm still waiting for my home to be completed as we approach 2 months after the date of closing. I was offered an incentive to close on the original closing date (didn't really have a choice) and told the house would be ready within 30 days. We are nowhere close to being ready and the unresponsiveness from low level staff that are responsible for just booking walk throughs, to the sales teams, and even high level executives has been telling (I got desperate and attempted to reach out to regional presidents to try and escalate things without any luck). I would 100% never recommend purchasing from this builder and really feel as though I made a mistake myself in doing so. FYI the home I purchases was in Orlando. ... More

the construction of my home took over 34 months and was plagued with the worst management I have ever seen in a home builder. It has been and still is the worst home buying experience of my life. In the end we never moved into this house because the delay took so long. We have the home listed for sale and again the delay in construction has cost us 100s of 1000s of dollars.

This is the fifth house my wife and I have purchased, third new build. By far, worst quality build. We have been in the home for almost two months and original punch list items still haven’t been corrected. There have been multiple laborers come through to correct the same issues repeatedly. No pride in their work. To date, still not fixed. From start to finish, this has been a horrible experience. I wholeheartedly regret making this purchase. Would not recommend Lennar to friends or family.

Do not close on your property until you are happy with the job, the punchlist does not necessarily matter after you close. We are presently 7 weeks after closing and still do not have a functional pool. Lennar was in a rush to close for their fiscal monthly/quarterly numbers. New home consultant disappeared after closing with no replacement figure given. No messages answered or returned after closing, although project manager Trevor has been very helpful. Some of the problems on the punchlist that were supposed to be taken care of before closing are slowly being addressed, but I had to present them via the customer service portal. Also, date and time of the walkthrough prior to closing was scheduled by Lennar and when I requested a different date was refused. After I purchased an airline ticket and flew to Florida for the walkthrough, the NHC called and asked me to postpone as the house was not ready to be seen. This is not all and needless to say, it was not a good experience. ... More

Build quality is too poor.Flooring is pathetic,Vinyl planks are coming out already just in one month.

My home-buying experience was not pleasant at all. Renee R who was in charge of closing was unprofessional and unresponsive. It was to the point where she was arguing with me in front of one of the other managers when I made the complaint. I am still missing pieces from the fixtures in my home and they did a poor job cleaning it. I did not enjoy my home-buying experience. It's a shame because I've sent fellow agents with their clients to Lennar which I thought so highly of. I have been in my home for less than 2 months and the dryer never worked. I had to call the manufacturer and they determine the motor was bad. I will never get that moment back. ... More

Workmanship could be so much better. I’ve been going through warranty for so many things when it should of been done correctly the first time.

There are lot of problems with the finishing like painting and caulking. Especially the finishing is very bad and rushed for closing.

I have to say, buying our new Lennar home has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From our walkthrough (with no lights or AC), to closing day where these issues were still not resolved, to issues that are still not resolved in our home almost 2 months after closing. You have to jump through hoops to get things fixed, even when they been notated multiple times. The materials in the home are cheap- pressed wood cabinets and laminate counters in the bathrooms. It’s very clear that once the sale was made, we were no longer a priority. The workmanship inside the home is shoddy. It’s apparent that these homes are just thrown together, and as close tighter, in order to make quick money. We will never purchase another Lennar home. I cannot imagine that this company has consistent repeat business based on the way they treat their customers. ... More
