Lennar Reviews

Horrible building company. So many things wrong with house and finding more everyday. The communication was absolutely horrendous. We were told nothing about Hué about where the closing was going to take place etc. Then we find out closing is on the line my appointment was at four and we did not even get on the line until eight because they didn’t get on. Would never buy a Lennar home again

New Home buyer please do not do with Docu sign procedure, never get chance to review purchase documents. Sales person high light few things and get you to sign documents, once documents sign and if we question about things to be done in the house, we will get to hear that you sign documents!!!

Make sure you get everything you were promised

The whole lennar process is designed to optimize their company’s benefit at the expense of the customer. They have rules / restrictions / policies which make the entire experience awful for owners (this includes home buying, inspections, closing, lennar mortgage, and warranty). I will not buy another lennar home.

Get everything in writing.

Our closing was delayed 3 months. Fair, I understand building materials and labor have dried up. The day after we move in, our master bathroom’s toilet flooded due to contractors having put waste in the plumbing. The flooding ruined our entire first floor and a lot of personal property. It took 4 emails and 2 voicemails before we finally got in contact with the customer care manager and got the issue resolved On top of all of that, even after our final walk through, there were paint stains all over the floor, nicks in the walls, drawers that don’t stay closed, garage door didn’t work, mud prints on the carpet, among other issues. If the closing was delayed by that long, you’d think this would give Lennar proper time to address issues by or after the final walk through. We will not be doing business with Lennar in the future ... More

Keep the right prices and use it a good material also let the customer shows the designer

Ensure you get your independent inspection along the way and have Lennar fix it prior to closing. Post closing resolution is incredibly slow. I'm still waiting for things to be fixed that were identified at closing and 4months later still waiting.

They lied to me. They didn’t make the buying experience feel special. They ignore you when you need issues solved. We got yelled at by the painters and the construction manager did nothing about it.

We have been in our home for 6 months now and it still is not complete. We should not have closed but we trusted that they would complete items on the list in a timely manner. I would run far, far away from Lennar.

Poor workmanship Full disclosure not evident

First time I called Lennar’s Waterwheel office I was told I couldn’t buy a home out of California where i was stationed as a Texas RESIDENT with a Texas drivers license where I was registered to vote IN TEXAS. Only bought this house as a temp with disabled VA loan will not be staying past 1 year. 0/10.

Nothing . - I hated my self for buying such low workmanship and poor quality home. Both are below standard. It’s not what I expected form a reputable builder such Lennar. If I have other choices I would have walked out In a heartbeat. I could go on and on how bad it is, but every time I thing about how stupid I was for buying such low quality home I get depressed.

Sales Agent did not disclose property was in a flood zone. Lennar Mtg Rep figures was way off and was not meeting VA guidelines. Was forced to sign punch list stating everything was completed to be able to close. If punch out list not signed it would cost the us the buyers. Lennar promised to complete the pending items on the list from April 2021 and it is now August 2021 and we are still waiting after several request made. Very disappointed with Lennar and will never refer Lennar to anyone.

The workmanship and the construction manager was horrible. He was very rude and disrespectful. It felt like our home got started and then forgotten. When we went for our walk through we had 15 or so pages of repairs, the day before we were to close they were still not completed and we were told we were not going to be able to close. We had already given notice, rented a truck and everything; we proceeded to close while they were still working in our home that day. Even after that we have had to complete many warranty issues.This was the worst experience.

Be prepared for worst case scenario and having to go make repetitive inquiries on progress of your home and repairs. READ the fine print as everything comes back to what is best for Lennar not the customer.

We closed in march and still don't have punch list completed. We are in process of having a GC provide a quote and seek legal counsel to proceed.

Two days after we moved in, we found the bottom of our kitchen cabinets were wet. We contacted Lennar right away and they left us without water for 24 hours and drilled through the concrete to find the leak. Three weeks later, it turned out there was another leak which was the result of an unconnected AC pipe from the second floor, flooding the kitchen for a month. Lennar only blamed their contractor, Bayonet Plumbing, the entire time. 30+ people came in and out of our brand-new home for a month, leaving us impossible to stay home due to the construction in the kitchen.

This home was supposed to be my dream home. I was not given upfront, honest information from the time I signed the contract to the building of my home. Front elevation by front door was not what i signed for , it was a bait and switch. Lot was not what I needed - specifically told sales rep I wanted yard with a pool, my yard has so much utility items now running through that I cannot have a pool. The company has not been responsive to my issues, I have had to follow up multiple times to get any actions completed. Their subcontractors are not reliable. Lennar does not return messages. What should be my dream home now makes me sorry that I bought from Lennar. My “seeded” back yard is an atrocity yet I wasn’t allowed to pay extra to sod my entire yard. I sincerely hope no one else is duped into what I am going through. It’s caused issues in my marriage because of the stress of theae issues. I've only been in my house since Feb 2021 One should never have to fight to remain a customer- I should have cancelled my contract and taken the loss. ... More

Have only lived in this brand new house for a few months and have to had several things fixed, half our outlets didn’t work, faucet won’t work correctly, sprinkler system was broken, and you can see several screws sticking out of the dry wall. Didn’t come with anything worth the cost, not even enough cabinet space for 2 people to store a very small/normal amount of kitchen appliances. Our sales lady Alyssa was also very rude and unresponsive throughout the entire buying process

Overall so disappointed We had delays and issues that were never communicated until we went higher up At this point the VP of the area said quote “If you don’t want the home tell me and we will give you your money back” WOW!

I wanted to move in on the closing date that was promised. So I was ok if there were 2 or 3 items that could be fixed later. But I had around 45 items on the list. After 4 months, there are still several items that haven't been fixed. Especially the windows have so many scratches. Contractors from different companies have visited and taken a note of all the issues. Still there is no resolution. The painting/Stain on the rails are so poorly done. The house was not cleaned and I still dont have this resolved on the places where I cant reach. I would never trust Lennar with such poor experience.

They promise the world then when it comes to warranty work, they close warranty work tickets due to how it would effect them, use excuses to not match paint on new builds (they replaced a garage panel due to holes and now they say they will only paint the one panel and if I want it to match I have to do it myself. Say its due to normal weathering when I only been here 4 months) My firewall door to garage and the back porch door have large gaps that you can see outside and qhen the wind blows it opens the door. They say it meets builder standards when even my inspection listed it as an issue. I have had 3 electrical outlet problems. I could not test/reset one and they warranty customer service rep came out and plugged an electrical tester in it and said its working. The will not produce an invoice or send out licensed contractors to fix the issues. I would recommend never to buy Lennar or do not close until all work is completed. ... More

Many problems as I moved in

Would NEVER buy with Lennar EVER again. House was supposed to undergo several QC reviews before my walkthrough. During my First New Home Orientation there were still huge gashes in drywall, places weren't painted, couldn't even complete the walkthrough because utilities were not on and appliances weren't installed. They apologized, then proceeded to call us back twice to the same conditions. Clearly nobody communicated and was just going through the motions to get home sold by end of their "record" quarter 1Q2021. The day of the closing is when it finally looked like something remotely decent, but still had several issues we documented and had to get done later. But the morning of closing we finally got the ALTA back and all the numbers looked completely different from where they had been for the several months since putting a deposit on the house. Went back and forth several times to fight with them to make it right. Finally received resolution there and closed late on a Friday afternoon . Since being in the home 30+day, we have received a lot of lip service on the warranty items, but ultimately, no one has been out to service those items including erosion and huge holes under sod in backyard that makes it impossible for my kids to play outside. Maybe I had the sales team, construction manager and Customer service people from hell, but even if my situation was an anomaly, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. This was too much stress on top of the normal home buying and moving process exasorbated by the pandemic. Lennar talks a good game, but getting houses sold is more important than customer service, customer satisfaction, or putting out a quality product they stand by. Choose wisely ... More
