Lennar Reviews

If I had known what the home buying experience was going to be like with Lennar I would not have purchased a home with them.

Customer experience worst i ever received.I close at the end of Nov 2021 i still have a bunchs of things they never finish.Cheap materials and a lot of bad things on construction.On the financing was not to bad.I dont recommend to anybody to buy Lennar.

Terrible. Lots of confusion. Aggressive sales tactics. Lieing. Etc. consider my options due to gathere evidence.

Poor build quality, lack of communication and Lennar attempted to bait and switch a few items that where in the sample model.

Horrible house finishing. Close in August we are in January and still waiting for things to be fix.

I had a horrible experience . The sale of my home depended on my purchase of this home. I needed one more day but lennar didn’t care. They would not give me one more day. They told me they would turn around and sell it for more than I was buying it for. The paint is awful it’s a flat pain shows all the marks. In the bathroom caulk is missing around the floors. I fell that the home was built so fast that paying attention to details are missed. My grass now that’s another issue. I have holes in the back yard where grass is missing. I was told that someone would come roll it but never happened. I’ve been very disappointed. ... More

We hears nothing but good things about Lenna but had trouble from day one due to Carlos.

I will never buy another lennar home and will make sure anyone I know or see looking into lennar hear how terrible this company is from the lies I’ve been told to how terrible the house was put together the builders drink on the job the loan officers don’t know what half of the stuff they send you is the person I did my final walk through with lied to me saying everything that needed repairing would be finished b4 I moved and wasn’t and he didn’t even submit requests for the repairs the home consultant I worked with was terrible didn’t give me any info at all and refused to submit a request to make my home handicap accessible over all lennar is a terrible company ...

When spending as much as we spent there is a specific expectation when taking ownership. This home was not built with care. We are constantly finding issues that should have been found by the CM team. It is as if they are treating their home buyers as numbers. Hence, the demand is high so let’s pump homes out and if a homebuyer doesn’t like it and backs out, well we have a backlog of people that will. The only positive experience was Lennar mortgage with Felice. Other than that I would not recommend nor would I ever purchase a Lennar home again.

Customer service with various parts of Lennar were horrible and have no idea what the word communication means.

I would like to see better quality materials used. Better workmanship. It didn’t seem like there was construction supervision.

Poor communication, broken promises, poor quality. I would recommend using a different builder.

Very large number of issues! Quality control is minimal to none!

The house cost me nearly $1.1 million and has been nothing but problems. First, the closing was a nightmare due to multiple errors made by the builder whose closing department couldn't seem to find the correct corporate resolution showing that the subsidiary conveying title actually owned the property. Then about an hour or two after the closing ended and I had received the key, I received a phone call from the builder that said it can't confirm that it received the funds so I can't enter the house until after the weekend. After that issue was resolved and I go to the house, I discover how many corners the builder cut to save a few dollars. For example, several of the outlets upstairs didn't work and since multiple outlets were involved I suspected that the circuit must have been tripped but all of them looked fine. Long story short, after hours of digging I found out that in an effort to save a few dollars the builder installed only one GFCI outlet on the circuit so I needed to find the bad outlet downstairs, outside the house, and reset it. Had this been brought to my attention during construction I would have gladly paid the $30 extra in parts to do the job correctly. Similar cost cutting measures were taken when it came to the flat wall paint, improperly fitted blinds, poorly sized A/C units, skimping on the insulation, etc. If the builder was that desperate to save what collectively amounts to maybe a few thousand dollars, I wish I would have just been given the option to pay a few thousand more to have the job done right. Then I also discovered that multiple items on the pre-closing punch list were never fixed and kept discovering more and more issues. For example, I paid nearly $75,000 for an upgrade package that included GE Monogram appliances. After moving in the microwave started making a terrible noise and the laundry room flooded. I contacted the builder who wanted nothing to do with it and told me to call GE. When a repair representative came out he showed me that the builder had dropped the microwave before installing it denting the back where the fan is causing the noise, and that the flood in the laundry room was because the builder improperly connected the machine. GE fixed the laundry flooding, but told me to contact the builder about the microwave. Finally, after several weeks GE came out to replace the microwave but said the replacement was damaged. As a result, GE took the bad microwave and left me with nothing saying they were out of stock of my microwave and would not install a different Monogram model. After several months, multiple missed appointments, and hours on the phone with GE telling me it's the builder's fault and the builder telling me it's GE's fault, finally I get a replacement microwave. It has been 5 months since I closed on the house and paid the builder more than $1 million, and I still have to deal with cabinets that were installed crooked leading to seams and drawer fronts that are cracking at the seams; 2 coffered ceilings that were never built; the wrong sliding door having been installed; getting reimbursed for replacing the doorbell chime which was wired incorrectly and despite multiple requests the builder never sent an electrician to fix it; fixing improperly leveled pavers; crooked front door jamb leading to cracking in the frame; sloppy paint and wall texture throughout the house; trying to get a refund of a duplicate $750 HOA contribution that the builder collected at closing but never actually forwarded to the HOA, and a variety of other issues. While I understand that no construction job is perfect and there are always some things that need to be fixed, the sheer number of issues are excessive and the builder's refusal to timely correct them is unacceptable. Many of my neighbors have similar complaints about getting the builder to fix issues, and on the whole I regret purchasing from this builder. Do not make the same mistake as me - especially when spending this much money on a house. ... More

People from LENAR were so rude

Rushed construction resulting into many problems and forced closing without all the fixes.

The Lannar mortgage broker was terrible. Just qualifying me they ran my credit three times they were so incompetent was unbelievable. I would never use them again. In fact I’m going to write a really bad review all over social media

They do not communicate with the buyer. Don't return calls. Very difficult to work with. I actually never talked to the builder.

Very disappointed with my experience at Imagery. Comments here are restricted so I can’t tell my perspective

Our home had been delayed for months throughout the building process. Our sales person kept us up to date throughout this time. We understood due to supply shortages, labor shortages, a global pandemic, a winter storm, etc. We were patient. We had to pay extra to live where we were due to having to extend our lease on a month to month basis. Still....we did not complain. Things were very pleasant through this period. When it came time to close, there was a very noticeable shift to rush US into the home before it was complete. We hired a 3rd party inspector to look at the build prior to close, and were given the green light by Lennar to go ahead and send our inspector in. The home was far from finished. The inspector couldn't even inspect a handful of major checklist items because Lennar had not completed building, so we had wasted more money there. Lennar kept pushing us to close when the the home was not finished or even live-able. They even pushed us to close when the gas meter was not installed. It was the end of the month, and it felt like pressure was raining down on us. Our realtor pushed back, and they waited until the meter was put in before forcing us to close. Due to the current housing market in Austin, we were afraid that the builder would pull the rug from under us, and were forced into a corner and accept the home with many flaws during our final walk through. We were told many times, that the things we brought up were "cosmetic", and that their build team would come out to fix it with our "warranty". DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. They will take forever to do anything. Our master closet collapsed and couldn't be used for the first 2 months we lived in our home. We currently have flooding issues that they are "fixing", but just left a mud pit on both sides of my house with no updates as to whats going on. They came, ripped up the grass, and left. Didn't tell me about it, didn't tell me when they were going to come back to fix the rest. Just left a mud pit moat around my house. I'm fixing many of the things around the house myself at this point. They've promised many things, and have not held up their end of their deal. They have sent out teams to fix some things on our checklist, but it took forever. We have a new born baby, so having work done at this point in time is rough on us. Many of our neighbors echo the same sentiment. Terrible quality homes.....but feel lucky Austin's housing market is insane, and has inflated our home values. Long story short, our buying experience started off okay, and ended up horrible. Quality of the homes are pretty bad with poor attention to detail. Many "cosmetic" problems that they'll never deal with when buying a brand new home or take forever to resolve. Buyer beware! ... More

The quality of materials used in construction is not good also most of the items are opted our from warranty, not a good customer experience.

San Antonio Lennar was the worst homebuyer experience I’ve encountered with multiple purchases to my credit. Be prepared to pay out of pocket to correct their building errors and hotels for missed closing dates with NO notification.

Disaster from the start, homeless squatting and cheap materials.

I did not shop my loan to different brokers and Lennar locked me into their lender. I was moving from CA and unaware of TX real estate laws. My fault. I had to jump through hoops to get closed. The underwriter requested forms contradictory to information on Lennar’s website. Lender was not clear in communication requesting information that caused delays. Someone wrote “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and I lived it. If Lennar was the last builder on the planet, I wouldn’t recommend them.

lennar cuts corners and will do anything to save money on materials and also contract the worst people to finish and complete jobs.
