Lennar Reviews

Poor from the moment we closed So many issues. Such poor finishing. Such a slow unprofessional service getting the house as it should have been. Even untidy, broken tiles everywhere, pool green etc etc Couldn’t have been worse

Bad buying experience with Lennar

I would not buy a new home with Lennar again. I paid ~$950K for a house moving in Jun 2024 that vibrates so often during days and nights whenever there is big cars running on the main street, and the shaking becomes very strong (feel like 3-4 degree Earthquakes) whenever there is a train passing by the train track which is a few blocks away from my house. And the trains pass by 3 - 4 times per day, sometimes at late mid night which makes it worse. My family had really bad times lacking of sleep and tried to get used to with the vibration and the shaking. The house also starts showing cracks after 2 months of moving in. I wish I could just return the house to Lennar. Also even it's a gated community, but the wall was built too short and the fence is useless, it could not stop homeless people who camp next to the wall coming into our community to check on our houses at night and try to steal stuffs from the residence homes. The home delivery process was also bad, they tested the washing machine when the manual was still inside, causing it to be shattered all over the place, they didn't even clean it up after my complain and I had to spend 2hrs cleaning up inside the washing machine after moving in. The garage door was also stop working after 2 months of moving in. I would not recommend buying your new home with Lennar builder. ... More

My experience has been very bad, the customer service people are not responsible, the do not care about the client, they never fixed anything or to complement the commitments to fix the property, they make appointments and do not go they do not respect the client's lost time, they do not solve problems it really was one of my worst experiences buying this property, I would never recommend them.

Since moving in, we have discovered a lot of subpar Building practices, craftsmanship, and quality of materials. Although addressed with the local customer care team, our backyard is a swamp. Cabinetry finishes failing from a poor cover-up of damage Prior to delivering the home. The subgrade siding material is flaking off on its edges. Our floor is sinking around the entry to the garage. Just to highlight a few of our issues. Starting to feel a little bit like we were scammed a bit.

We were originally offered a chance to get a lower interest rate and then right before closing were told that there was no way to even consider lowering the interest rate, but it was kinda too late at that point for us. Our closing date was miscommunicated to us and after planning move out dates at our other place and setting up installation appointments at the new place, this delay in closing caused us to have to rush back and forth to get everything moved in half the time we expected to have. After moving in, we found multiple issues.....paint on the carpet, paint on the vinyl plank flooring, paint on the power outlets, drywall texture sprayed all over the windows and shower doors. Our garage door button wasn't connected all the way and shorted out. Our dryer circuit breaker wasn't connected at all. The circuit breaker for our microwave kept tripping b/c the wires were installed wrong. For a brand new house, we are having to spend A LOT of time fixing everything. If we wanted a fixer-upper, we would have chosen something much cheaper. Awful experience. Will never do business with Lennar again. ... More

Quality issues especially with the electrical components of the home. Fuses blow every other day and at the moment, our electric car cannot be charged because the 220V plug does not bring juice to the electric car charger. Its an every day task to go out to the garage and reset a fuse that tripped in various rooms of the house. The final delivery of the home keys was ridiculous. It was at that point, we as a homebuyer were nothing more then a commission check for the Lennar sales agent. CarMax makes you feel pretty special when you purchase on of their cars and they are 1% of what a new home sells for. Car dealers also assign you a technology advisor to get all of your electronics setup. Lennar hands you a stack of manuals and says "figure it out and good luck". Tim was pretty responsive at first to things now working but now as moved on to other "hair on fire" urgent problems with the new releases of homes. Home Lottery - not at all trustworthy! Everyone from Lennar played that game, much like when the car salesman "Would go in the back to speak with the sales manager", not a good customer feeling. Sales people under-staffed, knew very little of home details because they were often rotated to other Lennar properties. Instead they pointed us at the website, which was full of inaccurate home information. I looked at the plot map one day and saw there were homes for sale. The Lennar sales agent said "Oh you cant trust whats on the website". So if the website was wrong and the sales staff had no idea whether they were selling in the 92129 or the 92108 zip code, where does a consumer go when making one of the most biggest decisions in their life? ...

We were rushed into buying a home and selling ours at a lower price then we wanted. We were told if we weren't under contract within 2 weeks that our interest rate would jump from 5% to 7.2%. A week after we got a contract, lennar was advertising 4.5%. The upstairs is hot because dampners went set correctly and my furnace/AC leaks in the basement

I will never recommend Lennar home to anyone as house qualy is extremely poor, no consistency, bad materials used

The experience was horrible, our realtor Kem was not good. He did not do a good job. Lack of information and communication. Things were half done in our home. If we could go back we wouldn’t buy from lennar.

Company reps had no concern about customers, only keeping on schedule and selling a house. Build quality was not very good. Final cleaning was non existent. Company did not respond to issues we brought up on our final walkthru, only their own. Would never recommend them to anyone else

Not professional , not informed correctly , bad communication . I’ve dealt with builders in the past and did not experience what I have experienced with Lennar . Their finance team is no good

The experience is worst no co ordination among the teams no right information shared any time.

I will never recommend buying from Lennar. This company is a joke. The communication between the construction crew for walk throughs, the agents, and the loan officers is so laughable. The construction is crap. During the first walk through, nothing was cleaned up and the inspection couldn’t be completed because of this. More things were broke between the first walk through and the final walk through but Lennar didn’t want to fix it, because it wasn’t on the original walk through. They broke it AFTER the walk through. We were told we could lay soaker hoses down because the grass was dying and someone from Lennar stole them. No one was helpful with the entire process. The Lennar agency for the mortgage is such a joke. Over 30+ minutes on hold and being transferred to multiple different people who did not know how to help. No professionalism at all. I never want to deal with Lennar again, they cannot communicate for their lives and they are horrible to work with. Never EVER buying from Lennar again. ... More

I was sold one thing the day of the contract and delivered another on closing day. Walls and ceiling look like waves. Unfinished walls and poor customer service.over 2 months after closing no solutions or repairs.

So far the only good thing is ,it was the cheapest home that was available. The longer we live here the more areas we see where the builders cut corners, did quick patch jobs or even tried to hide the errors made rather than fix them. if you have an issue there's a whole lengthy process to get it resolved. We were made promises that were not kept, discovered trash that had been poured over with concrete because they were too lazy to pick up after themselves. All in all, they did get us into a home quickly but if we were to do it again I would have taken my time and checked every little thing over and over and the once more. Definitely will be looking into other builders next time! ... More

i will never buy the home from lennar again

The only people with Lennar I am thankful for is Bryan & Ken for being dedicated to customer satisfaction & Lou H. for how helpful she was with our loan underwriting. Other than that, this is The WORST experience I’ve had in home buying. The day we met with our consultant we told her our price range & number of rooms/bathrooms we wanted. She showed us houses at least 10-20k over our price range and not even what we had asked for in a home. The day we viewed our house & were submitting the app, our consultant texted us saying the price increased from $167.9 to $170 because someone placed an app on a house down the street at the same time we were. I still have the texts from her saying the website didn’t reflect the price change yet & her manager was unable to keep it at the price we viewed it at. Still to this day, the price shows at the $167.9 & no one even bought that house until at least a month after we lived here. The amount of documents I’ve had to submit is beyond ridiculous. Majority of the home buying process was submitting & then resubmitting documents because they didn’t communicate with each other & weren’t aware they were submitted already. Not even a week after we closed, our mortgage was sold to another company. We were told by 3 different people that Fision internet was included in our monthly HOA fee of $75. Not only is fision billed separate every month, the HOA fee is also paid quarterly. Not monthly. When we moved in we were told we had to call fission in order for our security to connect to the internet. We were never given an account number or any information on creating an account to make payments. We now received a bill from HOA for over $300, we’ve lived here for barely 2 months. Our neighbor received the same thing & we’re told if it’s not paid they can’t live in the HOA community. How can we make payments when we weren’t given any information to pay it! On the HOA form given to us by our consultant & in the closing documents, it has trash options as Tiger & Republic. We tried getting service from republic for over a month and were tired of waiting so we got Tiger. Come to find out, our community isnt allowed to use Tiger, it HAS to be republic. Along with this, the HOA form we were given said our electric & gas were through CPS. We tried registering both for a week with them & no one could tell us why our gas wasn’t showing in their system, only the electric. Our gas ended up getting shut off for almost 3 days. Turns out, it’s not even through CPS, it’s centric. Speaking of HOA, we’re still required to pay the fee for the community amenities. THE AMENITIES ARENT EVEN BUILT YET! We’re paying for something we can’t use, we can’t use other communities in the meantime & the HOA ladies said they won’t be built here for at LEAST a year and a half. Within the first week of living in the home, the baseboard on our kitchen cabinets fell off & literally looks like it was super glued on. We still had blue tape markings on our walls that weren’t taken care of. When we received our grass, we were told the ground was too wet/not in condition to lay it down. The grass pallets sat in the front yard for 3-4 days. By that time it was all fried & dry on nearly all of it. When they laid it, it was so uneven, overlapping in areas & huge gaps of just dirt in areas as well. But then we get fined by the HOA if our yard isn’t well kept. How are we supposed to keep up with it when our watering day is once a week & it was given to us dead? The construction workers go on our property at all times during the day & have come up to our door and grabbed lawn decorations off of our porch. They leave beer cans and trash all over the community and in our yards. Some of them make inappropriate comments and whistle at us when we get home from work or walk down the street. Ive brought almost all of these concerns to the attention of HOA, our consultant as well as trying to reach the builder team. Apparently, majority of my community has gone through the same thing as us. This is all well known throughout the Lennar communities and no one takes accountability. For any future homebuyers, do your research & look into other options first. ... More

Honestly, I would never recommend nor purchase another Lennar home. The only positive experience was my initial walk thru 2 weeks prior to closing on my home with Lennar associate Beth. From the very start with Lennar, my sales personnel, Jimmy Zaid kicked off the negative experienc but his constant lack of communication, And most importantly empty promise of purchase price. He stated that every model of my home sells for $300,000 and that there were 3 left after looking at a model of one selling that day. Long story short after I finally got in contact with him, he stated the best price he could do was $338,000 and not $300,000 due to my specific home not being a short sale. This communication was done via text since he would not answer my calls. He stated he was off the days I left messages. Additionally, another time when I could not reach him, I ended up calling the local sales office and the associate who answered specified that if I signed the same day, I would receive a free copy washer & dryer. Once again Jimmy never mentioned any other this. I've spoken with several neighbors who went thru Lennar mortgage etc and very similar, terrible experience. Additionally, the Lennar lending associates (there were 2) consistently asked for the same redundant paperwork. I submitted w writhing 3 times (Lennar portal and each Lennar Mortgage associate) This was my third home purchase might I mention, so I am very familiar with home buying experiences. My neighbors and I are clearly guinea pigs to the Samara neighborhood and all share a similar negative experience. I could provide another page of my entire experience but I'm sure no one will read this. Surprisingly, I did receive a call a couple weeks ago when I received another Lennar surgery where I rated everything 0 and I spelled everything out to that associate who want d me to elaborate feedback responses. ...

Poor experience. Electricity bills have been swapped with the other neighbors have created crises paying $600 electricity bills Walls have been paded with color to hide these are broken Many other issues like the sink was scratched, floors are scratched etc

There is no communication between Lennar and the homeowner with informing them the work is going to be done in neighborhood examples sidewalk being poured ,backfill of dirt on property, installing asphalt driveway, and sod installation. Residents got their cars stuck in the Garage and couldn't get out. The homeowners association is non you call they say you have to talk to one person he's never available then your email never responds. Terrible buying experience and just too many things wrong already with a house in just a couple of months. You can't walk 10 feet in the house without hearing terrible squeaks in the flooring which was supposed to be fixed at pre-inspection before was told that it was because the house heat was down and the floor needed to acclimate. Wrong it's worse now. SCARY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN the FUTURE with a problem ... More

We selected Lennar because it was building homes in the area we wanted to live. No other builders really had inventory in our our price range and timeline. What a mistake! Worst experience I've ever had. They were late completing the home. The mortgage division is incompetent. They cost us thousands of dollars due to their mistakes.

The only good experience about this entire process was Jean and Kim. The lender was a terrible experience. The builder started out nice but after the close didn’t really care anymore. Still waiting on promised items. With me buying the flagship house first one on the corner at the entrance of the neighborhood you would think I would be the last client you would want to treat bad. Your reputation is on the line and word of mouth is everything.

Buying a home from Lennar is like buying and RV. Once you buy it your salesperson drops you like a bad habit. Arthur our salesperson won't call or email you back and then when asked about he states he tried but I wouldn't return his call. which is a bold face lie. Chris the construction person was supposed to get back with me in a couple of day about an issue. It has been over two weeks. So in conclusion , If Lennar folks can't honor their word what good are they? I mean after all how much effort does it take to respond to a buyers Issue? It speaks to the culture at Lennar where lack of professionalism is tolerated. ... More

Absolutely horrible experience all the way from the looking at the home to closing. Zero communication within the company, everything is compartmentalized. Straight up will lie to your face. Use FOMO tactics to get anything done. God forbid you call them out on the workmanship and they have to make repairs. Just easier to pay someone else after the process to get your home to where you want to be.
