Lennar Reviews

In the beginning we had a few hiccups but everyone was available and supportive; however the bad experience started on the first day of the walk/ through when I was told it had to be done on a particular day and many things were not completed in the home. Since that day it has been an unpleasant experience. I finally realized no one cares once you’ve signed on the dotted line.

I am not a happy Lennar Customer! Too many issues to list here. It's exhausting. Poor communication, paid way too much for the quality of the home--materials, appliances, workmanship, quality or lack thereof, slapdash finishes, severely poor responsiveness, lack of integrity and more. All of this wears you down and leaves you angry and stuck.

Hi, This is my third lennar home, but my experience of buying of third lennar home was really bad that I would never buy another home from lennar. I had primary home and investment home from lennar prior to this...they were forcing me to close home with open drywalls and lot of work pending. Can you imagine closing home and some attorney coming to your home on Saturday evening 9PM to close home ? They forced me to do this although still pending items. They said If I dont close it today I will lose my 10% security deposit and my interest rate will go up even my rate lock doesn't expire another 1 month. They said Will address all the pending issues next week but It has been almost 7 weeks and no one responds it. Even when I raise warranty ticket 1 week ago still no response. Lennar was never like this before, otherwise I wouldnt buy my third home with them. But I am done with them. Its nightmare as a lennar customer now...never seen anything like this. If they continue to treat their customers like this and think get away they are making huge mistake. This could be the beginning the end of largest home builder. I hope management sees these issues and fix them before its too late. Again this is not just my experience so many people in that neighborhood complained the same thing. So you get the idea. If you are first time home buyer I would remove lennar home from your shopping list no matter how attractive their incentives and sale price compared to other builders. This is not the quality and home buying experience you want as a first time home buyer. Thank you, ... More

The only reason we continued with the contract is it's the only thing we could afford

Major construction issue of water collecting in the crawl space. Unresolved after nearly three months. Customer service not responsive even to smaller issues. Walk thru are perfunctory. Explanations of home systems basic at best. They just want to slap up homes, push the sales and move on. Little care for customers who paid top dollar for a very mediocre product. Home marketing promises everything included but they excluded a refrigerator and air conditioning unit. What is provided is low grade as are the building materials.

Will not recommend Lennar to anyone

I closed on a house in a Lennar community 6 months ago. The building process was ridiculously stressful. Zac, the building manager over my home, was hard to communicate with, did not follow through on requests, left my build sitting with unfixed issues for months. Even untouched the week between my initial walkthrough and my final one. I ended up coming to my FINAL walkthrough, with several trades people actively working to fix problems WHILE I WAS WALKING THROUGH. I was asked to give them a couple of hours and come back to walk again. Zac’s lack of attention to issues, left me dealing with NUMEROUS warranty issues from the moment I moved into the home. Brooklyn, our warranty contact, has been helpful and responsive. However, the companies that Lennar are contracted with are horrendous at following through on their trades. The companies either don’t show up when scheduled, or don’t repair things as expected. Now, something that our community was promised as an incentive for living in our neighborhood (4 season-passes to the water park next door, annually) because we don’t have any pool amenities, the HOA is saying is not correct information. Why are the sales people promising buyers something if the HOA for our neighborhood is not backing that information? None of this even touches the issues I encountered with the incompetent mortgage team. Lost files, incorrect numbers, missing credits, TERRIBLE communication, and a whole slew of other problems. At this point I cannot, in good conscience, recommend LENNAR to anyone. This company seems to revolve on words of smoke and mirrors. What a terrible way to do business. ... More

Closing delayed three times because house was not ready for occupancy. Punch list items promised were not completed. Still do not have water hook up to refrigerator two months after closing. Poor workmanship and no follow through on quality of work by construction superintendent. Disconnect in communication between sales team and construction team. Given our experience, would not buy another Lennar home.

I went in to this experience with Lennar with an open mind even though I read many bad reviews. In the beginning it was good and everything was progressing nicely. Then it hit dates changed multiple times which led to us being homeless for some time. Then we finally closed and it was evident that there was no detail to attention but we were promised it would be taken care quickly. Now two months in and I believe I have set the record for warranty ticket which the majority of them are not resolved. In short I will never but another Lennar home if I have a choice.

Quality of workmanship and materials are very poor. After an initial evaluation of the home, issues were notified ahead of time. The builder manager agreed to solve the issues and by surprise, the manager changed the mind and didn’t complete any updates as requested. After spending several thousands, I had to close with many defects in the home. Lennar didn’t complete the initial walkthrough issues identified and after two months of the closing, they haven’t fixed all issues. Also, more issues have been identified with several tiles issues (hallow tiles/different shades through the home and now Lennar can’t find the right tiles to fix the issues. ... More

Very poor quality Lot of missing things during the final walk issues are getting fixed only after so many follow ups Promising that everything will be resolved before final walk. But there were lots of missing and left overs during my closing time. I was in a worst mood when closing the house.

What a nightmare, not recommend. Cheap quality & overpriced. Terrible workmanship

Lennar builds with cheap materials and labor. Their finish work is horrible. Regret being one their townhouses in Clovis.

Complete lack of communication. They clearly cut corners when they can in their workmanship. They also select cheep appliances and options for the house.

Very poor service and communication from the beginning to the end (sales including manager were horrible in every aspect of knowledge, service and follow through/follow up from the moment we put our deposit to take off the market to closing. We didn’t even get the mailbox key until almost a month after closing because we didn’t know who to get it from and where to pick up, construction manager Dave was the most incompetent person who didn’t oversee any of the contractors to ensure jobs were done well, make the contractors fix their sloppiness or even make sure they did their jobs at all. First, final and at closing inspections were completely horrible. Ceiling crack not fixed and slapped paint which was the length of the living room (still the ere 1 1/2 months after closing), cracked tiles, kitchen island and bathroom countertops not sealed so it was damaged upon move in and they won’t replace, large crack from top to bottom of other kitchen counter and passed Lennar inspection/manager, shower not level so about 2 inches of water sits and we have to manually push water down drain not to mention large gashes on the flooring of shower which were there before move in but not replaced, vents are loud to the point we can hear them in the living room (was told by AC folks it’s a roofing issue), electrical was not wired correctly on the outside of the garage and in some of the electrical outlets throughout the home, technician from GE came 3 times to attempt to fix the new dishwasher which was broken at the onset, holes in concrete in the garage was never fixed even when addressed during initial walk thru, tiles were not sealed, all walls are different shades of paint, bathroom lighting fixtures still crooked, all bedroom floors are uneven under carpet (Dave the construction manager and carpet owner from subcontractor) said it was no big deal but he would fix if Dave told him to. Well, that never happened. Hallway closet door and frame were broken due to wrong installation per the owner of the closet door subcontractor. He said he would fix if Dave out in the order. Well, Dave never did because when Dave came back after closing he said, “you want to replace the door? It’s just bent in a little and not a big deal.” Well it’s broken and the door is so obvious that whenever contractors come in, they point it out to me immediately. That’s the kind of construction managers Lennar hires and that oversaw this money pit and horrible new build. Gauges in walls, window panes are still not fixed after addressed during initial walk thru and via the report by our own home inspector. All panes are installed where it catches water and now has water damage because Dave never followed through. The master faucet shoots water so it goes everywhere. The dryer had a large dent by the controls upon closing. The “replacement” arrived yesterday (wasn’t informed about delivery day by Dave either) and it was worse than the first new one. It has large gashes and scratches on the bottom front, door and by the control knobs, no lighting fixtures for the garage were provided. The driveway has ripples throughout the entire driveway which is so obvious everyone that doesn’t even know us makes a comment about it including the Marion County inspector who told us it needs to get redone because it’s wrong of Lennar to force us to close and take all of our earnest money without doing the job properly. Some bedroom windows blinds did not fit in the allocated space and when they came back, they were angry to fix it and they cut it with a saw which left every single blind with jagged edges. Addressed it with Dave and he wasn’t interested in even seeing it. The list goes on…All of this were addressed during the initial walk through and still not done. Had we known what our experience would have been and what kind of slapped together job of a home (2,500 sq feet) we would get for the premium money we are paying at high interest rates, we would have taken our money elsewhere with no hesitation. We weren’t treated nicely right after we put the deposit down. And the realtor who put me in touch with a Lennar salesperson who never met me there or did nothing at all received the commission because the Lennar salesperson Austin put her name down as my realtor so he could push the sale. Definitely the most unprofessional company we have ever worked with not to mention the level of incompetence and/or uncaring of how they treat their clients. No follow up or follow through let alone never doing right by the paying customer. If your money is important to you, do not invest with Lennar. We lost everything in this home. Literally everything. ... More

Do not work with Lennar. Awful customer service and builder. Very deceitful and lied multiple times. Workers were under the influence while working on our house.

When I walk into my home I am sad every day. The poor quality of this home can be seen in every wall, ceiling and floor.

Apply your hard earned money somewhere else. Voss Farms Lennar is built on nothing but shortcuts, the contractors are not overseen. They do what and how they want. I would have though that Lennar would oversee someone building under their name. From start to finish everything was presented in a misleading way. You will not find out till after you close and do not even get me started on the homeowners association, or the solar contractor that you are forced to use.. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE

Lennar takes no pride in assuring craftsmanship in their home building. During my NHO walk through, in every room throughout the home, there was drywall, painting, and baseboards that were damaged, in need of repairs/repaint and/or replaced. Closet doors are stained with dirty hand prints from installers not wearing cloves or washing their hands. Floor grout was not cleaned properly, making the floors appear to look dirty and dingy, not to mention poorly grouted with holes or gaps throughout. The drywall throughout the home, was poorly cut and installed leaving gaps of almost a 1/4" along windows and doors. Baseboards throughout the house, has either cracks, chips, unpatched nail holes, and appears to have been painted where there was lots of sand/dirt making the appearance look very rough and dirty. The worst of it all, was the framing of the front door entrance, it was so badly done, I was in utter disbelief, that words just can't begin to explained the sloppy work that was done. The installation of the was not properly sealed causing a bug issue, and the microwave is missing air vent filters. It's been 2 months I've been living in my home and none of these repairs/replacements have yet to be made. I'm constantly having to contact the construction manager badgering him as to when this work is to be completed. The kicker of this horrible buying experience with Lennar, is they build these homes so poorly with no pride in their craftsmanship, but then have the audacity to sell these home for top $$ knowing these homes are built with no pride, which only leaves unsatisfied home owners and bad reviews; therefore ruining their reputation and company branding. ...

Our experience with Lennar has been terrible. There was very poor communication throughout the entire building process. When issues would come up, blame would be cast on other members within Lennar with no sense of accountability. The work within the house was lazy. Our walkthrough with the warranty manager was the worst customer service we have ever had to deal with. We received many excuses that any issues were not real problems. We were told "well this is not a million dollar house." We continue to have to fight with Lennar for standing water and drainage issues in our yard that is being blown off and excused away just as was attempted on our walkthrough. Do not build with Lennar, they do not care about their customers and we continue to deal with their poor craftsmanship, our neighbors have all had similar issues within our community. A very disappointing experience. ... More

Looking for the right adjective here. To say my wife and I are Disappointed just doesn’t describe how defeated we feel after waiting 10 months for our home to be built. From the lip service we received from our sales Rep (Les), who did not represent our interest at all. which led to my closing date being delayed sixty days and homes that started construction after our being finished before ours. To the poor craftsmanship that after closing 60 days ago, we are still waiting for resolution on issues to include replacing my flooring that was not square and kitchen cabinets that are damaged and drawers throughout the house that are missing parts. Trying to think of something positive to say about this build and i honestly cannot. I have built five homes over the past 30 years and this home is absolutely the worst. All I asked when we started was that you build the home like you were building it for yourself. Obviously that did not happen and the only explanation is that those doing to work just didn’t care. Everything in this house was done as cheaply as possible and definitely not worth the $381,000. ... More

Very bad especially sales person and construction manager. They need professional trainings how to deal and satisfy customers.

I don’t even think there’s enough space here for me to tell you guys how horrible the experience was buying a Lennar home from the mortgage people that I am ashamed have access to my Social Security number to the workmanship that I am now living in a home that Hass to be redone. There was paint on the carpet. Things were not done complete walls were crooked. This house is been a nightmare And two months and I’m still waiting to have things done and planned to be fixed because I’m last on the list because I’ve already signed the closing documents.
