Below expectation

A faulty installation of the dishwasher flooded our kitchen on 9/26. A contractor had to come in to rip off, dry and clean the floor boards plus remove the damaged cabinets. We were forced to stay away for 11 days. After over 2 months, the floor and cabinet replacement still has not started because the materials have not been delivered. Really? How was the logistics planned to have such a long lead time?! Our next door neighbor also had a faulty installation of the wash machine and their laundry room and living room were flooded, too. Talking about the quality of work, I really can ...

Home came with multiple cracks in the foundation that was covered up under carpets and Vinel flooring . Only noticed after ripping out carpet to add more Vinel flooring . If I knew the foundation that many huge cracks , I would have passed on buying this property. Poor workmanship and very poor customer service .

Please check everything very carefully before accepting house. There are many issues in the house and warranty sucks. Please stay away from purchasing Lennar if you have other builder options. Lennar delivers poor quality house. Also their sales and construction team is very irresponsible and careless. They usually don’t listen and deliver on promises they make to customers.

Ive scheduled my first payment to be electronically sent to Lennar Mortgage on the 28 October 28 2024 because it's due 1 nov 2024. They didn't inform me that th loan had been switched to a different loan company. Only the escrow payment made it to the my first payment. This is fraud!

If I knew what I know now I would not have purchased this home! This has been the worst experience! Starting with the Mortgage Company forward! The mortgage experience was the worst mortgage experience I have ever been through. Everything was so complicated and you never spoke with a person! This is not good for a 55 and over community especially! It was extremely frustrating and I spent 10 days looking at and signing documents online which was very difficult and I only had 28 days to pack up and get out of my house!

I Will Never Purchase a Lennar Home Again.

  • Derek G.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • October 22, 2024
  • Toano, VA

Upon moving in, they left windows open that we could not reach or see, which led to water damage, the workmanship on the construction is horrible, even to the naked eye. There are issues with stairs that don’t align, finishings that don’t align, paint on floor and carpet, and many other workmanship issues. When asked to fix prior to moving in, they declined to do it and said it is what it is, and made up lame excuses. With the visible workmanship being as bad as it is, it’s worrisome what can’t be seen. Our grass was also left unattended when the sod was put down, and they never watered it, ...

The entire process has been a headache purchasing this home. Issues that arose with my inspector were not properly fixed before closing and is still something I am fighting Lennar with. They are quick to respond to issues but then “complete” them in the portal when it truly has not been fixed. I’m spending close to half a million dollars on this home and I’m getting work that is worse than my 250k DR Horton home. The employees are quick to bash DR Horton however none of these simple issues were a problem them - nor was it an issue from DRH getting support to get them fixed. You can ...

Lennar mortgage was misleading during the application process, the home is built with poor quality, items were stolen out of the home after under contract to buy, lennar mortgage closing agent did not provide the original mortgage note or security instrument for my records. They also got an advance on my security instrument for the full maturity amount and are now trying to hide the money they received from the Federal Reserve bank while still charging me monthly payments. Not to mention I closed with Lennar, so explain why Experian says Eagle Mortgage, and Equifax says American Universal ...

We are beyond sad for agreeing to go ahead with a Lennar home. Feels like we got a lemon though it was a "brand new home". Almost nothing working, plumbing is substandard with leaks all over the place. Electric quality is so crappy that they switched the wiring. Just crazy, never heard of anything like this. Though the cake as it were must be taken by the sales team - pushy and lies are their only two tools.

While the community is attractive, the builder takes 1000% of the enjoyment of owning a new home away from the buyer. From omitted items which are in the contract, to shoddy construction, to deceptively low HOA fees, Lennar is the champion of bait and switch.

Every aspect of buying a Lennar home was met with a challenge, and even once moved in, there are still issues and challenges. From initially trying to view the home at an advertised open house where there was actually no open house at all, to dealing with the completely incompetent lender which made mistake after mistake on the paperwork and their communication was awful, to the blue tape walk thru where there was a ton of items that needed to be "fixed" such as paint, grout, cabinet fronts, appliance issues etc, that were only half completed on the final walk thru and so we are still ...

We have been so disappointed in the quality of our brand new home. We have only been here a little over a month and we have uneven floors, wood boring beetles, malfunctioning appliances, broken roof tiles, construction debris, and more. Every time we have Lennar come fix something, they either miss the appointment, show up with the wrong materials, or can't fix the issue. It took them 4 tries to fix a single dented panel on the garage. 3 times to fix a small area of drywall. Moreover, they first try to tell us, we are mistaken and that it isn't an issue.
