Lennar Reviews

The whole process with securing the loan and financing with Lennar was great and seamless. Once you get your keys and sign off on issues in your home you think will be fixed you hear nothing back. It’s like once Lennar got their money I was on my own. I put in three customer care requests and was “supposed to hear back in a week”. Well that was December 4th and today is January 10th. I have not received one phone call as to when these issues will be fixed. I even texted the rep who I did my customer care appointment with and I have heard nothing back. Be mindful, when you buy a Lennar home after the transaction is completed you are on your own. Luckily I haven’t had issues like my neighbors have (Heater not working, water heater issues, plumbing issues). Still it’s incredibly frustrating I feel like once Lennar got their money they don’t care anymore. ... More

Let me start off by saying that this is a wonderful community and I’m very happy that I moved here despite the construction issues. The other residents make it the wonderful community. My home sat with no progress being done for much of 2022. It wasn’t until the final month that they hurriedly slapped it together. It shows! I am a disabled veteran and have felt totally overwhelmed with all that needs to be done but I will make sure that Lennar fixes all of the issues with my home. As I type this, tiles are being replaced in my living room. The place basically needs to be repainted, I still need beat up doors replaced And other doors repaired. ... More

We just purchased and moved in the end of November. We had things that we were told that they would come back right away to fix or finish and that still hasn't happened. For what we paid for the house, you would think that we would get better customer service and timely repairs. The fact that we were promised grass before we moved in and it didn't happen, very unfortunate. Everyone that I have spoken with has said they can't believe that gutters aren't a part of the home building package, which again is just sad. We are happy to be in our house but just wish that the things would just get done. ... More

Waste of money pay too dollars and the house is built with the cheapest materials. Sales people have no interest after ur contract is signed don’t even make sure you have everything that is supposed to come with your home. Just horrible.

I have many outstanding items on my punch list--such as my deadbolts don't work. a cabinet door is damaged, poor shelving has left holes in the wall and the subs they want to send out only work Monday-Friday from 8-4 and are totally impossible to book. It is a nightmare. I took the day off work and the folks came to fix the deadbolts and they brought the wrong equipment-- meaning I have take another day off work with no consideration of my time and danger in living in a house with inoperable dead bolts. Do not sign the closing papers until everything is fixed. They DO NOT uphold their warranty. ... More

Very disappointed with Lennar. Everything in the house looks like low quality. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything. Doors are extremely light weight. Only one internet port in the whole house. Sprinklers don’t work from day 1. When asked was told its not covered under warranty.

I would not recommend. Workmanship is poor quality, finding more and more issues as we get more settled- poor painting, lots of seal and caulk issues, cabinet colors don’t match, mouse infestation, the list goes on and on. Not all issues are covered which makes it more frustrating. Major issues with hot water, recently fixed after enormous gas bill. Working with Jonathan now on warranty items and he has been great thus far! Lennar should spend a bit more time in the details of the home prior to close and move-in. The walk through is very difficult as they are showing you all of the amenities and doing the walk through at the same time. Sharon was our walkthrough rep and she was good at making excuses for things that were clearly broken and needing a fix- example- gentleman was power washing our pack porch and a flood of water came under the door- I asked if that would be fixed and she attempted to convince me if was normal from water pressure and would not put it in the list for repair. During the 2nd walk through, construction manager- Juan- confirmed it did require weather stripping, after I asked about it. Doing the right thing the first is key in customer service and business especially on a $460K plus purchase! Right now, wouldn’t recommend to a friend and wouldn’t buy again with Lennar. ... More

We came home from work to find our ceiling was leaking and caving in over our master bathroom. The home is a month old. We feel like we were tricked and are very disheartened by this whole experience. Our life savings is in this home and now we are staring at a giant hole in our ceiling and are displaced from our master bedroom for close to a month, waiting for the repairs to be completed. Also, the microwave is short circuting the whole wall every time we use it and the refrigerator that came with the home had a leak which took a month to get fixed. I would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone at this point. Our DR Horton home we bought brand new never had a single issue the whole 5 years we lived there. This home seems to be falling apart weeks to moving in. ... More

From day one, you're on your own! NHCs are worthless. Male construction manager won't talk to you and ignores emails. Responsiveness is slim to none. Too many mistakes were made, and when you point them out, they get mad and ignore you even more. The only time you hear from Lennar is when they want money. Otherwise, you remain in limbo for the duration of construction. The most unfriendly builder (except for one concierge) in NV, and I've dealt with several over the last 30+ years. If not for the floor plan and location, I would have cancelled my contract and walked away. If you don't care about communication or workmanship, and plan to stay silent the entire time, they you'll be fine. If not, just know that you'll have to be your advocate by keeping an eye on things on a weekly basis, especially towards the end. And know that there are NO options. The entire experience was extremely frustrating and disheartening, especially for the price that you pay...and never know what's going on. ... More

The handover to my new home was a horrible experience. The puchout list and other outstanding issues were not met. I'm very disappointed at the lennar team.

Horrible responsiveness from my sales, lennar mortgage & customer care.

I have been waiting for them to fix things for over a month now. My yard continues to flood they left a tree up in the back yard that is touching my house we paid for a premium lot and did not receive that. We are unable to even use our backyard due to the water rhe back yard retains. I am not gonna eat these cost for a 400k plus home. The home was rushed and there were many issues not tended to. Lennar knew the yard flooded Jamar said I may need French drains. Which tells me lennar knows about the flooding issue. As a first time home owner i wish I never dealt with lennar at this point. Nothing but a headache. ... More

We're previously owned a Lennar home in Southern California. Pride was very apparent in the quality and workmanship provided in our Southern California home. However, here in Fayetteville, Georgia we're very disappointed regarding the workmanship in the home. Every time I think about the cost of the high cost of home and the cheap paint, the sloppy unfinished sealing in the molding, the visible cracks in the corners and cracks in the crown molding; as well as the floating tiles in the floor which crackle when you step on them makes me sick to my stomach. We've purchased 5 new homes in our lifetime and never experienced such sloppy work that this home offers. The location of the home and floor plan is very attractive, however the home lacks pride and quality in the workmanship. We feel stuck with a $420,000 mess we have to fix. I can't have my family or friends over until this home meets the quality we're use to. Also we've been trying to install a screen around the back patio. We've submitted two ARC (October & November 2022) and left several messages for CMA to contact us, no return call has been received however our HOA is submitted as expected each month. ... More

I am a first-time home builder and was not sure what to expect. I was always told that Lennar was a great company, but my experience here certainly hasn't reflected that. No one who pays what we pay for on these homes should be forced to put in warranty tickets on damaged or substandard materials in a brand-new home and then wait months for replacements or repairs.

The overall quality of the home is embarrassing. If Lennar could buy back the home today, I would gladly sell it! Too many things wrong to even begin.

The full process is a pain, from the sales agent, unresponsive, to the closing. I still have some unresolved issues. Only the two o three people in the CUstomer Service area, like Mr Delgado, communicated with me and tried to solve some major issues

Washing machine when on the spin cycle bangs the side The Dishwasher started smoking on the first use. The floors in the master bedroom squeaks very loudly as if it’s an old house. Paint on the carpet and tiles was told they be back to clean up. Of course no one came.

At the time of the initial walk thru, there was no electricity, therefore we could not properly inspect the home. There were many issues with this home, that simply is unsatisfactory for the price we paid. We are still in repair mode and to be honest, I don't wish to enter ticket after ticket for items that should have never existed in the first place.

Timelines are not met properly, they are just building in a hurry which decreases the quality After move-in issues are not fixed on time and responses are not proper. The promise was made to install full house blinds verbally but now the salesperson who told me is not with Lennar and now they are saying he is not with Lennar and there is nothing in writing, however, my couple of friends/neighbors brought it up and got full house blinds installed. It's not fair to treat one customer differently than other. Tickets opened regarding home repairs, once moved are moving very very slowly. I still have pending work for my 1st ticket. ... More

The agent handling our purchase, Danette, was excellent. She was very responsive and handled our needs very professionally. The house has an excellent floor plan and lot. However, no quality assurance of the work was performed. The house should not have passed occupancy inspection due to no water to the kitchen through the hot water line. A closet door was a single, instead of a double door per the house plan. Cabinet doors were poorly aligned. Guest bath vanity drawers did not close due to improperly placed water line. Garage door did not align with pavement, resulting in a gap. Shrubs were planted poorly, 2 were close to dead when planted. Doorbell did not work. Shower glass did not get installed until 2 weeks after closing. Ground was not leveled prior to installation of sod; lack of completion of sod installation resulted in failure of initial occupancy inspection. Mailbox was not installed until a week after closing; USPS was not aware of address and mail that was forwarded from home was sent back. Had to close with all these items on an "exception list", no money withheld in escrow, We are one week shy of 2 months since closing and only the following corrections were completed: shower glass, hot water to kitchen (2 weeks after closing), and cabinet alignment. Bathroom waterline was corrected, but necessitated cutting a hole in adjoining bedroom; hole filled, waiting on painter (supposed to be here today). All corrections required daily calling of construction managers. There are many other items on the exception list, still awaiting action. Lennar defined the closing date, not the buyer, and without regard to time required to complete the work so that the house was ready for occupancy by the closing date. In fact, the letter from Lennar stated that the buyer should not plan on moving into the house on the date of closing. ... More

I’m surprise you ask. From day one there have been issues. Some resolved others still waiting and waiting. My current (but not least) issue is a situation whereby the way the roof is pitched , When it rains, the ground below becomes saturated and flooded by a deluge of water pouring off the roof. If it were concrete below, it would be a none issue but being dirt, it can only stand enough water before flooding and doing a surmountable damage to the ground below it. I have noticed there were many Sunrise model homes that had gutters installed to alleviate the damage done after each rain. I was lead to believe that Lennar installed the gutters to prevent further damage but am now told to ‘row a boat’. This is a serious enough situation that should be given careful consideration and not just poo poo it. Why is it that the homeowners have to spend considerable amount of money to fix Lennar’s cheap mistakes. Everything included ? Including the headaches. ! So in answer to your question, this has not been an enjoyable experience and as each occurrence a raise I tend to regret my choice of Home ... More

The buying experience was great, but once in the home, things starting to come up and fall apart fast. The walls are not straight at all, some are very noticeable. The drywall is bad, in some spots, you can see gaps, and builders wiped or used silicone caulking, making it impossible to paint without sanding out the caulking. When we got the house, you expect a "brand new home" in some way clean. Not this one. It was very dirty, so we hired a professional house cleaner. Builders aren't about quality and do not respect other people's property that has already moved in. We had several issues with the builders, and the Lennar supervisor team did nothing or speak to you about the problems. We still have unresolved open items since we got the house, and we have been here for over two months. The quarts top are already falling out, and caulking around the entire house needs to be replaced since they did not do it right when building the house. We had simple wire issues, like not connecting the wires to the outlet correctly or upside down. Model homes are spot on, but once in the built home, it's a completely different story. They want cases for everything, and they won't talk to you about the problems. We have been waiting on a replacement Bolt lock since the move-in, and it has not been resolved because it's on "back order," but homes continue to get built, and we still have not received our Bolt lock and garage window trim. Will see in about 6 months or so to see if other issues come up. Very disappointed with the quality since these houses are not cheap at all, so would expect at least some quality work done. ... More

I'm gonna be honest I love our home! It's a great location and something my wife and I are proud of! However the issues we need fixed still haven't been resolved. We had a call with the customer care person and she sent all the issues to the rep so he can schedule the trades to come in. We haven't heard anything from them. Responsiveness is severely lacking at willow bend. It seems like they are more interested in seeing how many they can get done this week and forgetting about their clients who have already purchased the property. Being told put it on the 30 day and then to hear nothing from them is disrespectful. We take pride in our home however that is not the same from Lennar. Its clear the priority is to finish rather than the quality of work. We are still missing things from closing but it's ok because Delano has it. I think we were told that 10 times since we purchase the property 2 months ago ... More

Lennar Financial Department and Real Estate Agent where Amazing. Title company Bellamy was horrific, caused multiple issues and were not accountable for there actions. Lennar Build was well below expectations and still has not completed outstanding build issues. Tried to push off on warranty and not close actions on punch list that was created to close with open actions. DO NOT CLOSE WITH WITH ANY OPEN ACTIONS. The one saving grace to my action list has been Zack. He is not the PM one my home, but has taken on the responsibility to complete it. Zack is a Super Hero. His knowledge, morales, and work ethic have been the highlight of this brutal process. Subcontractors on this build are atrocious and were not held to on my build. I believe in the saying “inspect what you expect” this did not happen. Lennar wanted to close to preserve there metrics and due to me moving 900 miles and having to close to preserve my locked in rates I had no choice but to close. As a Veteran who served in combat I fought to protect my country and one day own a brand new home. This was a dream of mine. This dream was essentially turned into another battle, just to get what I paid for. ... More

Terrible experience. Forced to close before property was completed. Still have many issues with quality of workmanship. Unsure of security of property with supposed open membership to non-owners for amenities. Review already submitted with same horrendous experience to Lennar. No response received.
