Lennar Reviews

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.

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.

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

Spend the extra money and go with a better builder

Craftsmanship is below par and have a lot flaws. Mentioned it to dirt walk through and took a long time to fix it. Took off many times and was stood up by concrete 4 times without a notice and I have to follow up a lot of times. Until now it’s not fixed. Been lied during building process and overlooked it . Been lied again and might follow up with Lennar corporate to get it resolve. Upset with the company and couple employees. Jerry and Brandon are the one been helpful

Lennar is a shady company that builds cheap houses and doesn't stand behind it's work. I have had so many issues with this home. Which have still not all been addressed. Lennar Lending is a joke and almost caused me to be homeless after they were going against Home Lending laws. Horrible experience. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

Not a positive experience. Would not recommend Lennar to family and friends based on my bad experience. Note that every neighbor I’ve talk to all expressed the same bad experience.

Now that we are in our home, we are discovering poor quality throughout our entire home.

I had an incredibly awful experience with the customer service of Lennar. The company did not work in a timely fashion for necessary community approvals, but did not disclose this until the evening prior to closing. Days with an unknown closing date followed with Lennar completely lacking in communication, concern that my household goods were already on their way from across the country, and telling me on multiple occasions that I should be calling the government agency to get the approval faster. It was the worst experience I have ever had (by far, literally don't have anything else to compare it to) and I will never buy from Lennar again. In fact, I was ready to cancel my contract, losing thousands of dollars, just because of how bad the experience was. The only reason I didn't was because my child had already started school in the area and there was no other housing available at that time without having to transfer my child to another school. Don't do it if you don't want a miserable experience! ... More

Finnished home is nothing like the model homes, from staged lamps in living rooms with cords hidden under rugs were no outlets are provided, to trim tile in showers that isn’t put in actual homes. Overall quality is terrible, Door openings uneven, lights not centered, outlets in wrong places, internet wiring frayed in walls/connectors loose, appliances not correctly hooked up, light switches not working, yard with construction debris all over, landscaping a mess!

This is not our first new home purchase, but this was by far the worst. There is not enough room here to describe everything and I do not have all night, but I'll start by saying that we were rushed to "close" the purchase on November the 29th last year and it is today, almost 2 months later to the day that we received the key to our home after multiple attends and visits to their office from our realtor. We still do not have any documents what so ever that show that we purchased a home. To this day there is still work to be done in our new home as everything was rushed, but nothing done properly: scratches, dents, paint damage, wall damage, floor damage, water does not get to the irrigation system up front ....and so on. Consider a different company for a new home....... Terrible service, and no one gets back to you from the Lennar Title. No one....in 2 months.... ... More

The whole process was a nightmare from beginning to end.

We were and are excited about moving into the community of Ave Maria. Our purchase of the Ariaballa not so much! The quality and workmanship of this build has alot to be desired. Lennar was quick to take our money and when we notified them of the several issues it seems to have landed on deaf ears. From garage overhead doors that don't function, to missing trim, missing shower doors, several damaged and marked cabinets, and a long list of other items. Our suggestion would be to run as fast and far away from Lennar as possible!

Lied about picking options until after contract was signed. Then we were told we could not pick our options. Lennar lied to us on multiple issues.

I hated my experience with Lennar and will never t Go through this again! The lack of communication, the issues with closing, and all the little details and problems in my home like it all not being cleaned by my celebration walk. The carpets were t vacuumed, none of the windows were cleaned, scratches in my stainless steel sink as well as a dent in my refrigerator. Paint all over the breaker box. Leaves and dirt in my garage. Stains on the concrete in the garage. Almost every corner in my house is cracked. As well as the master bathroom shower. Even the doors/ walls and corners of my bathrooms are crooked. ... More

Builder is not at all responsible. Very slow to address issues.

Lennar rushed their product. It shows in the lack of attention to details in their finished product. Also, closing was a nightmare.

I really have nothing good to say about the experience. Lennar is very slow to respond to issues. I would absolutely not recommend asking for any upgrades as I promise those will get screwed up too. They have already moved on to building the next phase of homes and see little urgency in helping to fix issues with their existing homes. I hope my experience is unique but I don't think it is from what I understand. Good luck if you choose a Lennar home - you'll probably need it

Irresponsible project manager and low quality of workmanship. My worst experience ever from buying a new home in years.

TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A BRAND NEW HOME

Choice is theirs. But do not expect a lot. Quality might be lot lower than expectation of buyers. Everyone who saw my house felt sorry for me. And check their included GE appliances especially. Not even buyers choice but buyers will have to deal with the problem.

Mortgage process was more painful that an inquisition. Materials and workmanship is pretty cheap. House wasn't cleaned before handed over to me and it has way too many repairs that need to be done, the more toy look, the more you find. Won't recommend Lennar not even to my worst enemy.

Lennar charged my more than disclosures amount that I originally signed

Very disappointed with the service I have received. I will not be purchasing with Lennar again nor would I recommend to any family or friends.

Seller wasn't the most responsive, has an attitude and seem like there was no accountability within the system when reported to higher ups. Closing moved 5 times, family stayed in an extended stay for 2months. Home orientation scheduled while home was not completed yet and then threatened for not completing orientation on an incomplete building. Displeasure about the whole process
