Lennar Reviews

Not very happy with the experience overall.

Lennar sales, mortgage, insurance and the builder were the worse I've ever dealt with..

This my my 2nd Lennar purchase, 1st purchase was a great experience, after this 2nd purchase, I could not recommend Lennar Homes in DHS due to vendors/contractors and, they have really cheapened their homes products.

This is a 410k house but like 100k. Nothing is even, straight, or symmetrical. You should be ashamed of yourselves for selling this. Also, can we get a translator when someone comes to make touch ups or repairs? Soo far the communication is awful and they leave worse than it started and have no idea what we are saying. This entire house is a disappointment and until it’s fixed I’m recommending no one

I would never recommend Lennar to any home buyer. The overall experience was so poor and this is my 4th home purchase. So many things went wrong with this home purchase from day one up until the closing day. I will NEVER buy a home with Lennar again and I would NEVER recommend them.

We had so many issues but didn’t get fix at all or on time I would never recommend friends to buy Lennar home because of all cheap material and price which is not worth it compare to houses we bought previously. Still waiting for garage door to be changed , loft to get fixed , front door key not working , cheap flooring to get fixed and so many other issues.

My experience with Lennar was extremely horrible and made my first time home buying process a nightmare. For several years, I knew I wanted a Lennar home based on the reputation and quality of the homes. When a Lennar community was planned in the exact area I’ve wanted, I knew it was a great opportunity for myself so I made sure to be prepared once the homes became available, which I was and began the process right away the end of Feb. 2021. I was originally told my home would be ready by the end of July and from there the nightmare began, it was delay after delay. In these unprecedented times with Covid, delays were understandable, but 7 whole months? I was given many different reasons and believed the next delay was the final one, but it wasn’t. I feel Lennar was absolutely inconsiderate and thought/believed that they could just find another buyer if I decided to pull out of the purchase. During all my delays, I had multiple family and friends also purchasing new homes from different builders that started their process after mine and somehow moved in their homes months before me. I understand there were different situations, but a 7 month delay is not acceptable. The plan for myself was to upgrade to a bigger Lennar home in a few years, but after this experience I will definitely be purchasing from a different builder and will strongly encourage family and friends to use other builders as well and not to consider Lennar. ...

Multiple issues! Too many to list from exterior to interior

This was my first time purchasing a home. I thought it was going to be amazing, but I would never recommend Lennar homes. I was not able to do a walk through until the morning of closing. After closing thinking the improvements would be worked on during the day after the walk through to come back at night to move in with half the house without electricity. The home was not cleaned prior to moving in. the fridge needed to be replaced thank goodness that was done, cabinets have dings in them. the tile is not leveled. there are unleveled areas of the walls. the carpets have nails sticking out of them. The building managers are not easy to reach I went through 3 of them since I moved in and only have been there a month. I am still waiting for things to be fixed. I love my home as slowly it is coming together but this building company is not the way to go even their workers advised me I should have researched more before buying from them. ... More

Not impressed one bit by this company. Too many corners cut.

Communication via lender was scares - little to none The day of closing didn’t know if I was going to close or not due to lack of communication finally 2 hours after my set closing time I got a call and they told me that they were working on it and they would let me know by 5 , 5 rolled around and still nothing. The builders pushed my closing date from , 2/28 to 2/25 at the very beginning of the loan process no big deal but they didn’t communicate that with the lender so the lender thought they had more time to work my file. No only was the house not ready to close, there where things not done on the house. Both my initial and final walk where a joke as things needed to be done and on closing day when I was handed my keys i had no sod ground was not grated before sod was thrown the day after closing so the ground is uneven and feels like quicksand even to this day a month after closing (the CSR added a drain pipe to help with the water flow in the grass but we still have the unevenness and still is like quick sand , behind the back fence just drops down so when you water the dirt just washes away and we have holes under the fence line) no cabinet doors and damaged drawer (they grabbed a cracked/damaged cabinet and drawer from a different house and installed it in mine) , a giant hole in the wall in the hallway wall where a lite switch was suppose to go, so no hallway light, foundation on the side of the house was cracked and honeycombed did not look very nice on the eyes. They peanut buttered cracks in the siding when it was broke off thinking we would be okay with the look of it Just overall construction was poorly handled and done. The biggest excuse I head was DUE TO COVID. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone I know. ... More

Possibly the worst experience I have ever had. It was exhausting and heartbreaking. The sales rep was unsympathetic and gaslit me multiple times before closing. When people do not care about their jobs, it truly impacts others.

Financing people are not the best and sales person was not supportive and interactive

The workmanship was essentially non-existent. The initial walk through was embarrassing for the Lennar employee. The number of serious issues were many. A hole in the shower stall, island counter top improperly placed and crooked, windows that wouldn't open/close properly, vinyl flooring that had to be replaced, damaged appliances, sloppy trim painting etc. Some issues have been resolved after an Regional Vice President got involved. Discussion with our immediate neighbors indicate all had quality issues. We understand the impact of the pandemic, worker issues and material delays, but the price remained constant and we were simply expected to accept poor quality. In all fairness, the on-site construction management have been helpful and friendly. ... More

There was very little and very poor communication during the build process. Timing estimates were impossible to get to get. The initial completion date was missed by 9+ months making it hard to arrange financing, furniture and a move in schedule. Some home features were changed or deleted during the build with no discussion with the customer. Communication overall was very poor. The Lennar contacts attitude was also poor. Home options were almost nonexistent. The clothes washer and dishwasher installed are very noisy. There was a nice home protection and Wi-Fi package provided but the home buyer had to find and pay someone to install it. ... More

Make sure you get what you pay for.

Don't believe any closing dates or promises made that are not in writing. I understand the supply chain and labor issues but this sale, closing and quality of product received was the worst home buying experience that I've ever had and I've had more than a few.

Before making my first payment my home had five separate issues with flooding from the main drain. !!!! Responsiveness was rated a 3 because someone from the corporate office did contact me regarding my issues and provided in writing timing of when all my repairs would get completed. Very unsatisfactory with the issues my wife and I had to deal with.

This national builder does not live up to its promises. The representatives are either lying or don’t know their business. The closing was a slapstick scene from a comedy, but we weren’t laughing. The follow up to fix outstanding items has been a nightmare. Several repairs have required multiple visits. No one from the builder will take responsibility, everyone just passes the buck. Mediocre finished product and horrid customer service from the builder.

I am extremely disappointed. At the beginning Lennar offers a paradise but after you buy from Lennar, they treat the buyer like an ignorant or even worst, they bully the clients.. Lennar products are of a terrible quality, and they don't do the repairs or acknowledge their mistake. Lennar uses the strategy of the bureaucrats, in where no one is responsible and nothing gets done. In a word Lennar is a bully company.

From start to finish, nothing was done right. It’s over a month since my family moved in the house, Still can’t get anyone to finish installing and repair things that wasn’t installed correctly.

The builder uses low quality trades, makes numerous mistakes, and hires staff with no relevant construction experience. They fail to keep their word on basically everything, workers do not show up when scheduled, and, overall, Lennar is the McDonald’s of buying a house. Absolute garbage.

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

This was and continues to be a bad experience. The construction quality is embarasingly bad. The customer services is unprofessional and helpful. Lennar "takes the money and runs".

For a home that was over 1/2 a million dollars, the quality and craftsmanship were not there. Things never added up to what the builder was thinking from the landscaping (who puts really big trees right next to one's house and expects there not to be a problem 10 years down the road), Even the kitchen looked like someone brought in a bathroom with the subway tile backsplash in which we asked not to be put in. The outside of our home is not painted in the proper color scheme as indicated in the design plans. The master bathroom shower has a small shower head on one side of the shower and 80+ inches on the other wall is the shower bench in which the water from the shower head never reaches the bench. The shower door in the master bathroom lacks sealant and water goes all over the floor. The Master bathroom has Cabinet Shells but nothing inside and no way to organize the things that might go under the sink. Laundry room lacks functionality as the cabinets are too small. The Kitchen Sink was a single stainless steel sink 14 1/2" by 22"....could not even put a big pot into it and lacked functionality of a normal sink. Overall closet space is very limited. For a new house, I expected to pay a bit to add my family touch to it but 25,000 to sink in is a bit ridiculous as I had to remove the bathroom from the kitchen (got rid of the white subway tile, removed all carpet and put in tile, Cut the white quartz counter top to accommodate a bigger sink that provides functionality. Installed a Shower Panel to get water flow to the bench (barely gets there but 1billion % better than the small shower head. Still waiting to properly fix the color scheme of the house. Have to pay someone and ask HOA for permission to remove the soon to be big trees from the house all together to prevent problems with foundation and/or sprinkler system. Sigh...the list keeps growing and I just am left asking Whomever designed this home and layout must have been higher than high. ... More
