Lennar Reviews

Horrible experience. Noone ever answers the phone and when they do they pass the issue to another person. There's problem every step of the way. Had to postpone receiving the keys because lennar mortgage did not release the loan on time. Many issues with the house, weak construction, water leaks, power not wired properly. Overall horrible experience

Not satisfied with home buying experience, had problems with water on the side of house, drainage and no one wants to fix, regret moving here,

Never got my keys day of closing, lock was broken, it didn’t get fixed for weeks and keys never sent to me like I was told. I had to drive 2 hours to pick them up. Leaks in the house after day 3. No one likes to help, I had to call a lot of numbers to finally get a response. I had lots that needed to be fixed and it took over a month with lots of contractors coming almost daily. This does not include all the blue stickers that were undone before closing. Lennar is not trustworthy in my opinion and to many of my neighbors as well. There is so much more to say but, I would run out of room to write everything. I would not recommend even Lucifer to buy from Lennar. I am still needing things fixed and there a big lack of communication. Wish my new home buying experience was better. There is no quality in the homes being built which is unfortunate. Maybe Lennar should teach their worker’s communication and customer service skills. ... More

Lennar mortgage is the worst! I may NOT purchase Lennar house in the future purely because of the terrible loan officer from Lennar. I have submitted my complaints about my loan officer and nobody has ever contacted me.

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.

Not a great satisfaction after buying home from Lennar

Briana was awful . She was not responsive to emails or phone calls. She didn’t know the answers to mortgage questions and told me inaccurate information. I had to get her boss involved because it was impossible to deal with her. She wanted me to sign documents that were inaccurate. Up to the day of closing, the down closing costs were still unsure. I literally was so stressed out that I ended up in the hospital the following day for tightening of my chest. I’m young, with no issue of the heart. The Dr said it had to be stress related. Carmela at lennar mortgage was outstanding. I wish she could have handled my entire mortgage process. She stepped in to assist where she could. William, my first NHC, was awful as well. Thankfully I was able to change to Sandra who made the experience a little better. Crystal was amazing and also helped with the walk through. Unfortunately, Briana and William were my main contact people throughout this experience which made it awful and I wouldn’t do this again with lennar if I had the opportunity. ... More

I could write a book...everything was terrible

The local contractors did a good job, however Lennar as a company cuts corners everywhere and use bad products. They short change at the dumbest opportunities, like a thermostat. All around bad, the best part is that the actual local contractors can come after you buy and then make everything right.

Beware of everything they tell you and be careful what you sign. When you ask for repairs to be made you or told that it us not covered or they sent unqualified repair people that have made the problem worse

Very dissatisfied with the home, paid over $600K and having to do a lot of things to get it to the way we want it, cheap cabinets, plain counter tops, all white, no color, no towel racks or medicine cabinets! A shell of a home!! I wish I would have not purchased this tome

Run far away. Lennar uses subpar materials and even poorer contractors. So many problems with our new house. And when you call they just lie and deflect. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. The worst experience possible. Buy anything else.

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.

Poor supervision of Sub contractor's workmanship. Low quality hardware. Lack of hardware: No towel bars. No backing for towel bars. Careless / unnecessary damage to finished items like walls, concrete, pavers, windows, etc. while being built. Things that can't be repaired Complete disregard for buyers desire to have a few simple additions to the home while being built: Refusal to add an outlet, light, or insulate walls Lack of follow through to ensure deficiencies found on walk through are repaired properly or at all. ( I took five inspections to get to closing and at the end I finally gave up and decided to fix some things myself) ... More

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.

This has been tiresome and disappointing all the way around from beginning to end. The salesperson misled us on when amenities would be completed, the unit wasn't finished even though we traveled a great distance for our closing & to move in, no one ever reached out to say it was delayed. Even after we moved in the work wasn't completed and was shoddy. In just 2 months we've had to constantly get into touch with them for issues (referred to warranty) and schedule workers to come. Yesterday 2 guys came to fix one thing and we discovered after they left they made a gash in the Sheetrock in the process .... it's always like 1 step forward 2 steps back. I cannot wait to sell and find another better quality built place. ... More

Awful experience! At final walkthrough the house had terrible detailing and the customer service agent didn’t resolve. It’s one thing before you close and another after closing! Lennar practically abandons you after closing and you have to resolve through warranty, which is an impersonal online unfriendly and confusing process! I will never again buy from Lennar! You shouldn’t either!

A 1500-unit development with no onsite sales manager. Sales department was not organized on what is going on with the development. Construction personal are drive by superintendents, that let the subcontractors do what they want without supervision or direction. Lennar's in field creed is to pass all mistakes onto the service department. Building wasn't finished during walk through or closing. Hats off to Maria Vasquaz of the service department to finish off the buildings and do it efficiently and make many homeowners happy.

Terrible quality. I call this home my trailer on a foundation. The end.

Overall Homebuying Experience Initially, the process of purchasing a home with Lennar seemed promising. The staff was welcoming, and the excitement of buying a new home was palpable. Unfortunately, this positive outset quickly devolved into a frustrating and disappointing ordeal. The dream of a seamless homebuying journey was shattered by a series of organizational and communication failures, making it a stressful and disillusioning experience. Quality of Workmanship & Materials At first glance, the home appeared to be everything one could hope for. However, it wasn't long before the façade began to crumble—literally and figuratively. The wall above the garage was improperly sealed, an issue that persisted despite multiple attempts at repair. The interior paint was so thinly applied that it would come off with the slightest touch. Within the first month and a half, the dishwasher ceased functioning, the solar panels malfunctioned, and the plumbing nearly caused several floods due to a piece of construction debris lodged in the drain. Additionally, the driveway repair resulted in further damage to the landscaping. These incidents underscore a disheartening lack of attention to detail and quality. Trustworthiness The trust that should form the foundation of the homebuyer-builder relationship was severely undermined in this case. The mishandling of personal information—a stranger's loan application appearing on my account—and the refusal to correct such a significant error is deeply concerning. Trust was further eroded on the day of title signing; misinformation and blame-shifting between Lennar Mortgage and Lennar Title showcased a lack of accountability and professionalism. Value for the Price Paid Considering the myriad of issues encountered, it's challenging to assert that the value of the home aligns with the price paid. The excitement of moving into a new home was tarnished by the need for constant repairs and the looming dread of what might fail next. The financial and emotional toll of dealing with these problems significantly detracts from the perceived value of the investment. Responsiveness to Issues The responsiveness to the numerous issues raised was, at best, inconsistent. While some problems were addressed (albeit inadequately in cases like the garage wall), others were met with indifference. The situation with the incorrect utility start date serves as a prime example; being told that nothing could be done about being billed for a week of utilities before legal ownership of the home was not only unhelpful but unacceptable. This lack of support and accountability adds to the overall frustration and dissatisfaction. Conclusion The journey with Lennar Home Builders, Lennar Mortgage, and Lennar Title was fraught with challenges that marred what should have been a joyful and exciting milestone. From serious privacy breaches and communication breakdowns to subpar construction quality and a disheartening disregard for customer concerns, the experience was deeply disappointing. While the dream of homeownership remains intact, the reality of dealing with Lennar has been a cautionary tale about the importance of trust, quality, and customer care in the homebuying process. ...

I never received a New Home Orientation. I never received a pre drywall orientation. The property was poorly constructed! Each day I’m discovering new issues and needed repairs in the house. I was so excited about purchasing a brand new home, which turned out to be a huge disappointment!

Working with loan officer was a terrible experience although I don’t have any issues with the builder.

Builder steal/removed curtains from this model home. Sent refund check very late, with buyers and realtors total five payee name in a check, how can we cash this check? Took Lennar 2 months to correct purchase number in ALTA, two months add correct name to deed.

The entire process was a joke and can be summed up as simply as saying I received better service at McDonald’s. The only reason I purchased this “home” is the promotional interest rate. I would not recommend Lennar to my worst enemy and will NEVER purchase from them again. Nobody at the company cares about anything other than taking all the money from you they can. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
