Lennar Reviews

Multiple issues! Too many to list from exterior to interior

This was my first time purchasing a home. I thought it was going to be amazing, but I would never recommend Lennar homes. I was not able to do a walk through until the morning of closing. After closing thinking the improvements would be worked on during the day after the walk through to come back at night to move in with half the house without electricity. The home was not cleaned prior to moving in. the fridge needed to be replaced thank goodness that was done, cabinets have dings in them. the tile is not leveled. there are unleveled areas of the walls. the carpets have nails sticking out of them. The building managers are not easy to reach I went through 3 of them since I moved in and only have been there a month. I am still waiting for things to be fixed. I love my home as slowly it is coming together but this building company is not the way to go even their workers advised me I should have researched more before buying from them. ... More

Not impressed one bit by this company. Too many corners cut.

Communication via lender was scares - little to none The day of closing didn’t know if I was going to close or not due to lack of communication finally 2 hours after my set closing time I got a call and they told me that they were working on it and they would let me know by 5 , 5 rolled around and still nothing. The builders pushed my closing date from , 2/28 to 2/25 at the very beginning of the loan process no big deal but they didn’t communicate that with the lender so the lender thought they had more time to work my file. No only was the house not ready to close, there where things not done on the house. Both my initial and final walk where a joke as things needed to be done and on closing day when I was handed my keys i had no sod ground was not grated before sod was thrown the day after closing so the ground is uneven and feels like quicksand even to this day a month after closing (the CSR added a drain pipe to help with the water flow in the grass but we still have the unevenness and still is like quick sand , behind the back fence just drops down so when you water the dirt just washes away and we have holes under the fence line) no cabinet doors and damaged drawer (they grabbed a cracked/damaged cabinet and drawer from a different house and installed it in mine) , a giant hole in the wall in the hallway wall where a lite switch was suppose to go, so no hallway light, foundation on the side of the house was cracked and honeycombed did not look very nice on the eyes. They peanut buttered cracks in the siding when it was broke off thinking we would be okay with the look of it Just overall construction was poorly handled and done. The biggest excuse I head was DUE TO COVID. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone I know. ... More

Possibly the worst experience I have ever had. It was exhausting and heartbreaking. The sales rep was unsympathetic and gaslit me multiple times before closing. When people do not care about their jobs, it truly impacts others.

Financing people are not the best and sales person was not supportive and interactive

The workmanship was essentially non-existent. The initial walk through was embarrassing for the Lennar employee. The number of serious issues were many. A hole in the shower stall, island counter top improperly placed and crooked, windows that wouldn't open/close properly, vinyl flooring that had to be replaced, damaged appliances, sloppy trim painting etc. Some issues have been resolved after an Regional Vice President got involved. Discussion with our immediate neighbors indicate all had quality issues. We understand the impact of the pandemic, worker issues and material delays, but the price remained constant and we were simply expected to accept poor quality. In all fairness, the on-site construction management have been helpful and friendly. ... More

There was very little and very poor communication during the build process. Timing estimates were impossible to get to get. The initial completion date was missed by 9+ months making it hard to arrange financing, furniture and a move in schedule. Some home features were changed or deleted during the build with no discussion with the customer. Communication overall was very poor. The Lennar contacts attitude was also poor. Home options were almost nonexistent. The clothes washer and dishwasher installed are very noisy. There was a nice home protection and Wi-Fi package provided but the home buyer had to find and pay someone to install it. ... More

Make sure you get what you pay for.

Don't believe any closing dates or promises made that are not in writing. I understand the supply chain and labor issues but this sale, closing and quality of product received was the worst home buying experience that I've ever had and I've had more than a few.

Before making my first payment my home had five separate issues with flooding from the main drain. !!!! Responsiveness was rated a 3 because someone from the corporate office did contact me regarding my issues and provided in writing timing of when all my repairs would get completed. Very unsatisfactory with the issues my wife and I had to deal with.

This national builder does not live up to its promises. The representatives are either lying or don’t know their business. The closing was a slapstick scene from a comedy, but we weren’t laughing. The follow up to fix outstanding items has been a nightmare. Several repairs have required multiple visits. No one from the builder will take responsibility, everyone just passes the buck. Mediocre finished product and horrid customer service from the builder.

I am extremely disappointed. At the beginning Lennar offers a paradise but after you buy from Lennar, they treat the buyer like an ignorant or even worst, they bully the clients.. Lennar products are of a terrible quality, and they don't do the repairs or acknowledge their mistake. Lennar uses the strategy of the bureaucrats, in where no one is responsible and nothing gets done. In a word Lennar is a bully company.

From start to finish, nothing was done right. It’s over a month since my family moved in the house, Still can’t get anyone to finish installing and repair things that wasn’t installed correctly.

The builder uses low quality trades, makes numerous mistakes, and hires staff with no relevant construction experience. They fail to keep their word on basically everything, workers do not show up when scheduled, and, overall, Lennar is the McDonald’s of buying a house. Absolute garbage.

First our closing process was the most stressful and unprofessional as you can experience. Pushed , delayed, communication was poor and even threatened to lose our house . Wouldn't lock us in till 2 weeks before close with very little notice , tried to jack our rates up . Building process was same , using subcontractors with poor work inside and out. And been a nightmare getting fixed , tried to force DocuSign without completing work. NOT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED as lennar states, they changed our wall color with no choice but accept. No warranty for landscaping at all , paint is sloppy , blisters and knots in walls that they will not fix . Grout all over bathrooms cabinets. Do not trust this company and many neighbors are saying the same thing. Very poor sloppy work. Worst builders I have ever experienced with. Please do not go with a lennar home there is a 65% chance you definitely will have problems from the beginning. ... More

This was and continues to be a bad experience. The construction quality is embarasingly bad. The customer services is unprofessional and helpful. Lennar "takes the money and runs".

For a home that was over 1/2 a million dollars, the quality and craftsmanship were not there. Things never added up to what the builder was thinking from the landscaping (who puts really big trees right next to one's house and expects there not to be a problem 10 years down the road), Even the kitchen looked like someone brought in a bathroom with the subway tile backsplash in which we asked not to be put in. The outside of our home is not painted in the proper color scheme as indicated in the design plans. The master bathroom shower has a small shower head on one side of the shower and 80+ inches on the other wall is the shower bench in which the water from the shower head never reaches the bench. The shower door in the master bathroom lacks sealant and water goes all over the floor. The Master bathroom has Cabinet Shells but nothing inside and no way to organize the things that might go under the sink. Laundry room lacks functionality as the cabinets are too small. The Kitchen Sink was a single stainless steel sink 14 1/2" by 22"....could not even put a big pot into it and lacked functionality of a normal sink. Overall closet space is very limited. For a new house, I expected to pay a bit to add my family touch to it but 25,000 to sink in is a bit ridiculous as I had to remove the bathroom from the kitchen (got rid of the white subway tile, removed all carpet and put in tile, Cut the white quartz counter top to accommodate a bigger sink that provides functionality. Installed a Shower Panel to get water flow to the bench (barely gets there but 1billion % better than the small shower head. Still waiting to properly fix the color scheme of the house. Have to pay someone and ask HOA for permission to remove the soon to be big trees from the house all together to prevent problems with foundation and/or sprinkler system. Sigh...the list keeps growing and I just am left asking Whomever designed this home and layout must have been higher than high. ... More

Terrible home inspection and after home purchase experience. Lennar construction managers are all promise non work. They flat out lie. Terrible home ownership. Lennar’s attitude is don’t care, it’s not my home, it’s your home now and your problem

There are more than 150 blue tape markers covering everything from numerous uneven floor tiles, gaping at every door frame and baseboard joint, broken window frames, window panes without gas revealing moisture, roof has more than a dozen non-matching tiles replaced before possession, two very visible and disturbing depressions in the roof giving a wave-like image to the tiles, concrete and stucco splashed over window & door frames, the home was not properly cleaned following construction, entry door step plates are dented, scratched and appear to be borrowed from a warehouse, exterior paint has dried to three different shades of the original color, all eaves lack a much needed second coat of paint (easily seen by a casual observer . . . where was the painter?). The refrigerator was severely scratched, apparently at delivery, but was not noted by Lennar and Frigidaire refuses to be responsible, interior paint is so poorly done as to require a complete re-do. Nothing is properly cut-in. Over-spray, poorly cut at wall-baseboards, scratches on the ceiling, missing vent cover in master water closet. Workmen with dirty hands leaving hand-prints, yes, the entire hand, on the attic access panel. The entry door was painted in a rush and none of is clear with over-spray on the window panes, scratches and no painting below the bottom trim panel. Cabinets are poorly aligned & the self-closing function is 50-50. The AC condenser held up the close until one was located at a model an moved to my home - the vents on the unit are bent in numerous locations. Incredibly the list goes on . . . Lennar's customer service reps are stand-up folks but the people who actually built and supervised the construction of this house failed. ... More

Spend the extra money and go with a better builder

Very unhappy with this purchase, there are so many things wrong with the purchasing process with Lennar. Don't buy through their mortgage or title companies, get your own

Lack of communication, lennar mortgage will not lock rates in advance, prior to closing service is bad enough imagine once you closed, they don’t care, i put 3 tickets for same work and it’s still not done. Don’t blame the people who works at lennar I blame the system they have in placed, most employees

I have bought my house over 2 months and still have things on my list needed to be completed. They force a closing and was unable to meet the deadline of closing my house. They messed up my closing plans which had me ending up having to pay for a can for extra days. The. My house had over 16 issues and damaged appliances which still hasn’t been replaced. This has been the worst buying experience. They reach out and only make promises just to not come through with promises. I do not recommend.

The market is so crazy! We went to the Bonita Springs office and met with Rick - salesman - who told us that Lennar was taking bids for the remaining lots. He said that he would not be doing it that way. They had 2 lots opening soon and that he was naming the price. He said in order to be considered for the lots, we couldn’t have a realtor to represent us and that we needed to be cash buyers! A couple days later we were passed off to his coworker Susie. We went along with these business tactics because we wanted a house in that community. We had a bigger home a street over and a carriage home. We knew the Community was Lovely! Lennar does know how to build a community. It just our experience with the salesman that was ver questionable. We were given a closing date. They wanted our money , but could not guarantee we could have occupancy. We closed and Our home was also in very bad shape when we moved in. They are managing to get all of the work done on the punch list. The other homes we purchased from Lennar were a much nicer experience. ... More
