Lennar Reviews

Took too long to build and then the build was sloppy.

Worst experience i ever had in buying a home

Very expensive house not worth the money. Lennar give you incomplete house. My house was with no gutters and took them 6 to 7 weeks to install gutters. Garage door still missing side trim. Horrible electricity, when plugged any device it tripped the circuit breaker. Windows are not soundproof. Bad window screens can’t pull up or has no pull tabs. Doors are defected. Doors broken at strike plate. Towel and toilet paper holders loose and came out many times. Numerous paint and drywall defects. Terrible exterior molding defects. Kitchen cabinets has many cracks. It takes them long time to fix anything. Our representative did not come with us in the walkthrough twice. His excuse was he is busy and Lennar has shortage of staff! You will feel depressed instead of feeling happy in your new home. Horrible customer care! ... More

I don't want to give a single star to Lennar. My home buying experience with Lennar is my worst and biggest mistake of my life and i'll not recommend to my friends and colleagues to buy a home specifically from Lennar.

The only positive I've had throughout my experience is with my Sales Consultant Joe Casinguay. The Construction side of Lennar is Horrible! Communication, Quality of Construction, Integrity, Pride is workmanship from their Trades is nonexistent! My first new construction experience and I will not do it again unless I'm my own General contractor. If you care about buying a quality home and having good communication with the builder, Do Not Buy from Lennar!!!!!!

Everything about this home buying process was miserable and it was made worst when we moved in. We spent over a million dollars on this home and it is made so poorly. They even forgot to put air ducts in my home.. how do you miss that. The only thing that has come out of it, is that these issues have made me bond with my neighbors over our infatuation of Lennar and our home. I even told one of the builders I wasn't happy with lennar and as opposed to asking me why.. he said "thats a common theme". If it is a common theme then fix it. I am so incredibly disappointed that I can't enjoy my million dollar home ... More

I have moved to three other new built houses in the past, this was the worse experience ever. From beginning to end- starting with the sales person, who did not know much, everything had to be asked to supervisor, she provided wrong information. I was told all the closing cost would be covered and it was not, I am still waiting for answers, since November 29th- closing date. My home was not completed when it was supposed to be, I had to move in to a house needed another week of work. As of now, there is still long list of items needs to be completed. To top all of these, home owners association made a mistake with the monthly payments and actual cost is around $80 more than what I was told. Worse ever................................. ... More

Is not a good company

I will never ever go with Lennar again! If you’re looking for a home, don’t ever go with Lennar. Save yourself the hassle and certainly save your money invested somewhere else. once I started the process with them, we faced absolutely endless problems. Even after we moved in the house nothing but issues( leaking dishwasher, plumbing issues where they had to cut the drywall all over again, electricity issues, air-conditioning unit doesn’t work…..etc)

You have made my dream home a complete nightmare.

Home not finished after closing early Moved into home that was disgustingly dirty with little to no response Several things wrong with home

We identified multiple issues throughout the process of the build, yet they were not rectified. Now we are stuck with a large inconvenience as these things still need to be fixed and the emotional stress of not being able to fully move into our new house. The house has to be repainted, multiple windows replaced due to improper installation leaving windows to not close, the conditioned crawl space was not professionally done, multiple finishing issues throughout the house, and the exterior of the house has equal amount of finishing issues and sections of concrete needing to be repoured due to wood and debris being allowed to get into the concrete causing it to crack due to water/ice expansion. Even the design is flawed, given we have over a 110 gallon master bath tub but only a 50 gallon water heater. Industry standard calls for a minimum 2/3 ratio which would be approximately a 75 gallon water heater (why not install a tankless system???). The mortgage/lending team were not familiar with the military or VA loans which was disheartening. I feel like I grossly overpaid, expecting a Lennar quality home that you’d see in other states, but received an “economy” build where you’d expect corners to be cut and quality to be poor. Lennar is better than this, but it doesn’t show and is not represented by my home. I hope they are professional and compensate us appropriately. ... More

My experience was less than satisfying. At least I made it through the absolute train wreck from start to my 5 hour cluster of a closing experience and thought I could live happily in my home. But, NO!! Lennar didn't schedule a final inspection for the loan and out of the blue nearly 2 months after I close I find out they are threatening legal against me for them not scheduling an inspection??? This is beyond ridiculous!!

I was hoping for this new home build to be a great experience, but unfortunately every aspect of this process was terrible. From the sales team, to the financing, to the quality of work, to the final inspections my wife and I were extremely dissatisfied. During the financing process Lennars rates were higher than others and they used scare tactics such as “you will not get your keys after closing if you do not use Lennar Lending”. This was untrue as were most things Lennar informed me. Once the home was built and an inspection was conducted it was worst that we could have imagined. We had over 300 corrections that needed to be made. We were informed these would all be completed, yet they only had 7 days to do so. As my wife and I contemplated if we were or were not going to close on this house our concerns grew greater as the concerns we pointed out did not get touched until the Sunday before our closing. Majority (85%) of the problems we pointed out never got touched or repaired and it drives us INSANE to live in a home with so many imperfections. I have seen homes built in the 80’s that is in better condition than the interior of our home, which is less than 60 days old. I am extremely disappointed in the process and workmanship of Lennar and would never recommend them to anybody. If you are contemplating purchasing a new home from them I would heavily recommend a home inspector (Lennar will also use scare tactics and tell you that using your own inspector will most likely delay your closing) at a minimum. This purchase has been by far the worst investment I have made and just hope to break even by the time it is time to sell. I love our neighborhood, but this house was made, designed, and constructed atrociously and the builder should be ashamed of themselves for selling this shabby product. If you are dealing with Shelley or Angela from Harvest Point I highly recommend you get with Angela’s supervisor and ditch Lennar lending as fast as possible. The experience I had with the both of them is by far the worst from any professional in this industry that I have encountered. ... More

First weekend we moved in the builder supplied en-suite washer leaked causing water damage that was exacerbated by the fact that their customer service rep doesn’t check messages after hours or on weekends. The floor got ripped up by the water remediation company and a month later has not been repaired. Lennar does not care about you after you close. Horrible company.

Please do not EVER purchase a home with Lennar, the customer service is awful. They do no reply to request. The home are rushed and have so many errors. The materials are cheap and the quality of the home is poor. Im looking to sale my home ASAP and build elsewhere with another builder.

Absolute horrible experience from beginning with our sales person to the very end. They have no ethics and do not follow true building codes. Sakes people tell you lies, the floor plan is 3rd grade pictures, craftsmanship of the house is beyond low grade, project managers aren’t even licensed builders which is why so many issues occur. No follow up from top to bottom. I closed in September and have 3 page punch list that has taken forever. I’ve had to have outside vendors come in. 48 outlets on 2 breakers isn’t even electrical code despite them trying to convince you it is. I can go on forever with all of the issues that have and are occurring. Lennar doesn’t care so avoid buying a Lennar home. I will continue to advocate this message on every social media platform until this corruption is exposed. ... More

Horrible experience, will not recommend anyone to buy a Lennar home. Pressure their client’s to close on homes that are not finished and getting them to do any repairs is a hassle.

Sales lady wasn’t ethical. Charges were not disclosed upfront. The townhome wasn’t ready at the closing. Struggling to get the paint issues resolved after 2 months of closing. Poor workmanship

Lennar uses unskilled contractors and cheap materials, contractors and subcontractors don’t know what they’re doing and have this “I don’t care” attitude. Getting anything done or fixed or repaired is extremely difficult and have to resort to escalating to Lennar Head Office. Construction managers and customer service reps all make big promise, trying to get you to close sooner. As soon as you Close on your house, game over, Lennar won’t touch or repair anything. Lennar needs to learn to treat their customers with respect. It’s very difficult dealing with Lennar. I hope that Lennar, some day will learn from their competitors D-R Horton - their home sites are clean and tidy, D-R H uses good materials and their contractors do a better job. Go to any Lennar construction home site and it looks like it was hit by a hurricane. Lennar doesn’t even have security at their new communities, homes are often targeted by thieves who break in and steal from new homes or simply walk into any open homes and steal brand new materials. This has been brought up to Lennar locally and no one does anything about security. All they need to do is , have a security guard or a camera that won’t allow people with pickup trucks to drive into the new community after 8PM or at least take a picture of their license plate. Nobody should be driving into the community and roaming around at night and late at night , might night and past midnight. I guess Lennar upper management don’t care that thieves steal material and appliances from homesites, I’m sure it’s cheaper to hire a guard for 8 hrs at night at $10 per hr but Lennar won’t do it. Lennar used to have cameras with lights on poles in new communities with signs “no trespassing, video surveillance etc””. Lennar has removed all of that. It doesn’t make sense. ... More

I have owned several homes in my lifetime. Some new builds and some resales. NEVER have had such a terrible experience as with this home. When I wasn’t being ignored; I was being lied to. I have done my best to patiently work through the Lennar process but at this point I am all out of nice.

From sales to closing an absolute HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Our sales person Matt was MIA most of the time. Our house was not ready for closing but expected us to close anyway. All screens were bent, painting and caulking was horrific. We have a mice problem, front doors don't lock. garage door dented. Because we sold our other home they had us over a barrel cuz we needed to move in. The house was dirty. Their follow up in every department was atrocious and still is. Extremely unhappy.... they don't care! We are seniors in our 80's and feel they took advantage of us. Very negligent. unfortunately this review is not letting me upload pictures. We have been in home for 2 months and still most repairs not completed. ... More

Lennar has been an overall bad experience.

My new house is a bundle of issues. Starting from the exterior to the the interior of the bathrooms every part of the issue had bunch of issues. There were so many bulges and dips in the every room whereever there is carpet. The issue was raised before closing and is not fixed yet. The carpet and the padding inside the carpet are so cheap. Beneath the carpet we found trash, the people who did that didn’t even care to vacuum the area before installing the carpet. The padding was not bound together which keeps moving when you walk, creating gaps. The framing is not flat. Every room has ups and dips. The carpet is not tucked well at the edges. The carpet in the model house is definitely twice as thick as ours. The exterior paint looks like it was not done by professionals. There is overage and gaps between the wood trims. The balcony floor has ups and dips which retains water after rain. There is a bulge in the dry wall of the master bed room. Faucets are cheap and each of them have different pressure levels. Landscaping looks like it was rushed.recessed lights in the loft area are put in at irregular places, and the list goes on. ... More

This builder should not be in business, I would never recommend Lennar to anyone.
