Lennar Reviews

Process was full of delays, lack of communication, follow through and poor craftsmanship When the home was turned over.

I’m still waiting for issues to be corrected on my home. I asked about why there are no window screens and was told that they where removed. I’ve never bought a home with out them. There is no documentation that says you wouldn’t have them. The painters are using water down paint and just are overall sloppy. The exterior is missing calking around all windows overhang. My salesman never called stayed in touch throughout my whole buying experience. If it wasn’t for my daughter staying on top of everything, I would have never closed.

Communication suck!!!! If I would have known this before purchasing my house I would have never brought my house with you all!

I will not recommend. They bullied me to close on Jan 31 because they wanted high numbers for the month when they knew that the property wasn't fully ready. Lights in the patio was out of order, plugs in the living room not connected, missing breaker for the Solar system, irrigation pipe for a housing plumbing pipe, wrong entry keys provided at closing. So no, I would not recommend or write a great review.

Our experience was horrible, we chose and paid for a model Santa Rosa. However, our home was not built like the model. My master bedroom is missing two windows, a dining room should have been the enginery flood instead of a carpet. we got 1000 back for carper. The home was over price didn't pass the appraiser's value, we were given 11,000 after our lawyer was able to reach cooperate, but it still has 15,000 underwater. Adam was won't let us talk to cooperate at the beginning. We talked to Steve who was reasonable but Adam was always in the way with lies. If we have discovered the missing windows before closing. We wouldn't have a close on this home. The square footage was reduced in the living room. If you show us a model and we love the model and choose to pay for the model. My home should be built like the model. Don't show us something we work hard to pay for and subtract things out of the model. We appreciate the help, and we also regret closing on the home with missing windows that we pay for. ... More

There were areas in my home not completed and Tommy and Jennifer from Lennar have been giving me the run-around. The demeanor of the team makes you feel like they are insulting your intelligence. I should have known better than to trust someone's word. The entire experience is a nightmare.

Instead of being “ wowed” our home buying experience was terrible. The inside of the home was ok, the tile floors being the worst….in fact we are still trying to get the floors clean and presentable. The customer rep seemed bored and mechanical and did not act on any issues for over a month. Our construction manager Mark was the only reliable person that we could talk to. Workmanship is absolutely terrible. Extremely disappointing to find out that the interior was painted a flat white, no one told us and we spent more money painting that we should have. Lennar should have given us some credit for fixing stark white walls. Even the landscaping was seemingly done without thought. The backyard is bumpy, a friend has already fallen. The workers are careless and there isn’t any craftsmanship. I was told that Lennar is a production builder….I believe it. Wish we could go back in time and have a wonderful experience…..I guess that is only found in dreams. ... More

Poor services, poor maintanence, reluctant on replying emails. All the house are build with low quality of work materials, Poor works ethics.

The quality of EVERYTHING in my home is garbage. My experience with Lennar has not been a good one.

I knew I felt hesitant about closing on the house the day of closing, and now I regret choosing Lennar. At this point, I can confidently say that I would not recommend to family or friends. We completed a walkthrough on the house and spent hours putting blue tape on poor quality issues, only to have a small amount of it fixed by day of closing. When this was expressed, warranty rep and supervisor probably worried we would back out, called people out ASAP to fix issues on the spot while we drove to our closing appointment. To my surprise, everyone left with all the work untouched and at that point it was too late because closing was finalized. Since that moment, I felt that fixing my house would become an issue as they can't schedule till weeks out and I did not realize what a waste of time it would become. I tried to be patient over the many issues I faced; MULTIPLE missed appointments, they give you a 8am-12pm appointment time slot, then sometimes don't show up. I spent many of my days off, waking up early and waiting on people to come. People even show up without an appointment on random days when I'm not home. Poor communication. Flooring people missed two appointments..but then on the third one they were able to fix the floors which was great. I did not use my main shower for the first 3 weeks after closing due to poor quality and holes in shower tiles. Painters don't take off shoes when entering home to go upstairs on carpet. I had electricians come fix my outlets and I asked painters to take covers off before painting and they ignored my request and painted over it, making it very unsightly. When I asked them why they didn't take the covers off, he laughed at me and said "its never going to be perfect". I don't expect perfect but I would hope for BASIC quality for the price of the house, not a giant outlet with goopy paint. I would honestly do it myself if Jake brought over the can of paint he said he would give me but never did due to a family emergency. I try to appreciate all the work they've done so far, but I wonder how things would've been different with better quality, efficiency, and communication. Cabinets are all dented/scratched, they touch it up and they still look bad.. still in the process of replacing some doors. The list goes on. Jake was excellent at addressing most of my concerns and responded in a timely manner, but he had a family matter with time off work and I had to resubmit all my claims which further delayed the whole process. What got me to write this review today? Another missed appointment and no communication about it. I always see bad reviews about Lennar online, but I was hoping this community would have been different, very disappointed. ... More

Flat white paint on walls! Really No light fixtures or fans? Really You call yourself a quality builder? Terrible customer service. No updates on status. Treat customers very poorly.

Communication was absolutely horrible through the home buying process. My close date was changed more than half a dozen times and we were over 1 yr delayed, I received a house with many issues that are still being resolved including exposed electrical wires, unfinished kitchen cabinets, etc. The warranty team takes quite a long time to resolve problems when something is submitted. Lots of corners were cut and it was a very unpleasant experience overall.

Do not buy, run away. Sales team made false promises, they are just looking for your money. No quality and construction issues left and right. Tile issues, plumbing issues, poor worksmanship, cutting corners everywhere. They want to save on everything.just expect atleast 4walls.

I closed on a townhouse on Dec. 30 and there were many problems (interior bifold doors missing, missing bath vanity, missing trim pieces, ants and spiders everywhere, etc) Plus, the overall job was extremely sloppy and unacceptable. I have spent the last two months trying to get the multitude of issues corrected so I can rent out the house. To date I have lost 2 months of rent. I had a guy come over to fix the weather strip on my front door and the door fell off because the two screws he used in each hinge (instead of 5 screws) were only half an inch long. I had a guy come over to fix a large gap in the front porch paver stones - he did a horrendous job and there is still a gap. I had a guy come over to look at the main floor bathroom pedestal sink which has a brown streak that is under the ceramic coat and he agreed that it its under the glaze and can't be removed....yesterday I got a call from another guy who said the first guy is new so he wants to try to get the brown streak out. Unbelievable.....How many guys need to look at it before they realize it's not removable - its part of the sink. The toilet installers used grout around the base of the toilets instead of caulking them, there's paint dripped all over the carpet because the painters don't use drop cloths, paint on the light fixtures in the bathrooms, paint on the switch plates, etc, etc. We've bought and sold many houses and have never seen such shoddy work. Im really disappointed that Lennar is continuing to put up townhouses all around my unit at a rapid rate yet can't find people to take care of their customers who have already paid for their home. P.S. There are bifold doors in boxes at my house for several weeks now and no one has come to paint them so they can be installed. ... More

I am a single mom of two who lived with family for many years in order to save to be able to buy a home. I shopped for a house for a solid year before deciding on one. Lennar took what should have been an exciting and happy event and turned it into the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! From a botched initial closing that I literally wasted an entire day off from work for to a rushed closing 2 weeks later with no New Home Orientation (and still haven't gotten one even though I've requested it several times). Drywall work throughout the house is aweful, the wrong cabinets were installed in part of my kitchen and the wrong vanity in my guest bath... which I had to figure out for myself by looking at neighbors with same floorplan. I also had to discover myself via neighbors that they completely forgot to install my attic access in my garage. Trim work throughout the home is crappy with dents and nails left sticking out. Absolutely no attention to detail in a house that was $$$$. My CM had the tactics of a used car salesman. I wish I could say the warranty side performed better but that's been aweful as well. Almost 4 weeks since turning in items and not a single thing fixed to date nor even scheduled. My advice - DONT BUY LENNAR UNLESS YOU HAVE TO FOR LOCATION REASONS (like myself). If you do, make sure you don't sign anything until everything is complete and 100% happy ... no matter what they promise you! ... More

Lazy and did the bare minimum when it came to supervision of subcontractors. It definitely shows in the final product. Quality and schedule both suffered. The quality is a C- at best and the schedule was non existent. Lennars best quality is the community that’s all, as far as a builder the peopl from start to finish do no justice for the brand. I would not recommend

Owner, in Babcock Ranch

Bad quality construction, cheap products. Lennar has very customer service and zero post-sale commitment. There is no SLA for the resolution of the issues. Uneven flooring, lousy painting, cracks on the walls.

Lennar is TERRIBLE. They would say anything just to get your foot in the door and the contract signed. Then they delay and delay. They even take away promised features just to get the unit “completed” quickly. They promised the Flo water shut off, then didn’t install it because “they ran out”. On the day of closing, I pointed out that my roof is missing ALL circulation vents, and they responded “oh we must have ran out” but I forced them to install it. Warranty team doesn’t want to fix anything, and are not nice. Overall experience was terrible. No communication, and terrible build quality. During our walkthrough, Christine the fat agent kept trying to deter me from pointing out faults. She kept blaming issues and missing features on “HOA wont allow us to do this and that” but other homes had those features she stated were not allowed. A bunch of misleading greedy lazy employees. I would never go with a Lennar home again. If I can go back in time, I would have picked a different builder. Thanks for nothing, Lennar! ... More

The worst company to deal with I would never recommend anyone to buy from Lennar Lennar is garbage worst ones

Worst experience ever, they don’t even deserve one star. Stay away from Lennar DO NOT buy a house from this builder

I bought my 1st house in 2018 and that was from Lennar Construction. We liked a lot and that quality of construction and service made us to go again with Lennar for my 2nd house too. From the the beginning till closing, started facing issues both from Sales and Construction Manager (CM) and they were very arrogant in not responding in addressing our concerns/clarifications. CM gave us false promises and made us hurry during final walkthrough and promised in addressing few concerns but never responded later. Not only me, but even my neighbors are also victims in facing the similar issues. And this will definitely let Lennar down to move from a premium builder grade to lower grade and Lennar is not going to be a 1st choice for home buyers. ... More

What an absolute nightmare of a home, DO NOT BUY! This is hands down the worst home I’ve ever been in. From the terrible experience with their mortgage team, to getting left high and dry on terrible workmanship, I absolutely do not suggest you buy a Lennar home. Everything on my house was done last minute slapped together and I’ve just taken the beating because it looked good for a solid second. Giant moat in backward won’t get fixed so I’m stuck with a huge landscaping bill. Entire house covered in huge cracks, trim separations, and nail pops which won’t be fixed because it’s “cosmetic.” Roof line has serious sags and they won’t fix the sod in the front yard that was destroyed during our walk through with one of their trucks. I’ll be selling this dumpster as soon as I fix all this mess. STAY AWAY! ... More

The quality is very poor, and it has not been repaired until now

The house is supposed to be new and without problems, on December 9 I did the closing and there were some things to fix. The engineer in charge of the house promised that he would fix the house in a matter of weeks, as of today, January 31, the house remains the same and both the engineer and the customer service person are still missing without letting me know when they are going to fix it. the problems that the house has. The treatment that my wife and I have received in a matter of the house is incredible. It is unacceptable that they have a group of people working without caring about the things they do. This will be the last time I buy a house with Lennar. ... More
