Lennar Reviews

House was poorly constructed until now I’m still having minor issues. For new home owners have a thorough inspection before and after you move in.

Really liked the team here at Marbella Ranch. House was beautiful and the few items that gave come up after we moved in were taken care of right away.

The workmanship was poor. Lots of issues to attention to detail. When I complained, the construction managers response was that the brand new home was meant to be lived in. That response floored. I would not buy from Lennar again.

The sales process was painful. I lived out of town and responses were poor. There was no flexibility during purchasing phase. The construction manager “Henry” was phenomenal and provided answers where he could. He insured all of my concerns were addressed and directed me to the appropriate person if it was out of his jurisdiction.

We love our house… We love the neighborhood… Brad our sales person and Miles the on-site liaison have been awesome… Getting action on our punchlist has dragged on and on

During the purchase of our home, we were told the amount of great common areas and amazing landscaping, however after 5 months being we have not seen anything besides so much construction debris even in places where is all built and finished.

Its always great when I contact the warranty department, get a date scheduled, and then nobody shows up or contacts me to reschedule.

For the price. The workmanship should have been perfect but small things like bowed walls and trim seams not lining up.

I was very hesitant to buy a new home in a planned community but I’m very happy with my decision we chose the value of the Lennar home over a smaller home with more attention to detail however for the most part we have not been disappointed. There have been a few issues with workmanship however Lennar is insanely fast to communicate and fix any issues that have taken place which is about as good as you can get on non-custom built homes.

Feel like we were forced to have solar. With no options

The Model homes show beautifully, however the quality of workmanship is lacking in the non model home. I know these are not custom homes, but materials and supervision need much improvement. They give you one year warranty. They string out getting the work done. Seems like you have workers back and forth for 6 months to most of the year. At some point you just want them out of your house. The open floor plan carries voices and noise throughout the home, especially noticeable in the bedrooms. Lack of hall space to buffer the sounds. But it does show well.

The overall experience was excellent, in particular, our interaction with the lady who was construction manager at the time.

Lennar will make you feel great upon buying your home and they’ll offer a one year warranty on any defect. Initially, Lennar will be responsive to warranty requests. However, it comes with a catch. You’ll quickly realize the warranty is offered because Lennar is aware of the poor workmanship and materials that go in to their homes. After a couple months, customer care will abandon you as they move on to other new homes. As of today, we have a dead tree and shrubs in the front yard that Lennar planted and has not addressed. We have weeds, straw, and plastic netting in the backyard that I believe was supposed to be grass. There is an unsealed gap under our windows and around the patio door that Lennar has looked at but refused to address. This is not to mention a myriad of small lazy defects that I’ve fixed on my own out of frustration. Lennar has a great sales pitch and they’ll sell you a great idea, but be ready for disappointment after closing. ... More

They state they’re the leading builder of QUALITY homes, which demonstrate COMMITMENT to customers, OUTSTANDING construction, and dedication to EXCELLENCE in homebuying. In our experience, they do not practice what they promote or have written as their core priniples; Quality —- Value —- Integrity. From the beginning of our home buying experience (started June 2018), to our current new homeowner status (moved in late spring 2019), we do not find we’ve been given the quality, value or integrity we’ve been promised. As new homeowners we find the “Customer Care Representatives” to need a title change of “Lacking Care Consultants”... they respond ONCE with a “I forwarded the problem to another department”, but they don’t give any other information or solution to your concern/problem...THEN it becomes your job to follow-up, remind them of said issue, document EVERYTHING & include pictures, as well as continue to ask detailed, specific questions, because they respond with a “I haven’t heard anything yet, still waiting”... then give a reason (AN EXCUSE) of why it will take awhile & how we (the customer) need to be patient. Currently we are dealing with flooding issues, and after reaching out to multiple people in Customer Care, the Lennar sales office @ the welcome center, & our HOA, the QUALITY & COMMITMENT to us as customers, and our environmentally protected area (in which the flooding caused major run-off of construction debris & trash to go into the lake, let alone cause damage to our property) seems to be of little VALUE. We did receive ONE response saying they did something to help drain the water, however, the evidence of the clogged grates & TRASH (seriously, they LEFT the trash that is all over the grates), remains exactly the same, even after 5 days. But as Anthony, the Lennar sales guy said, (over a week ago after I HAD TO FOLLOW-UP) “he is doing his best”, ... so that should help to reassure us, as new homeowners, of Lennar’s core principles. ...

I’m extremely disappointed, with the price I’m paying for a house like this I expect small problems if any. I’ve had major construction done to an upstairs closet, missing paint in parts of my house, spots with no texture, water damage to a door, door hinges ripping from the walls. I’m beyond annoyed with how much time it takes to get these problems resolved. They try to do what they can to make it right but I am tired of construction, I’m tired of constantly having trades at my house fixing things that shouldn’t have been overlooked or assumed I as the homeowner wouldn’t notice. This is a serious problem! I don’t understand why it’s so hard for Lennar and the contractors to just slow down and do it right the first time so you don’t have to have 100 warranty calls on one home. It is not that hard to just slow down make sure you’re doing your best work because it saves a lot of hassle on both sides for the homeowner and for the company Lennar. The work that has been done to my home is less than satisfactory and I’m literally at my wits end of dealing with this company any longer. From buying this one home I WILL NOT EVER recommend Lennar to any of my friends or any people I know asking who they should purchase a home from. Consider me a lost customer that will never come back and buy a house with Lennar. ... More

Lennar is good builder. But, follow up is very poor. Roads are not done. Street lights are few and poor. The mail center is poor and a big trafgic hazrd. Betweem postal boxes and road there should be concrete. Now, it muddy grass The subdivision looks very poor unfinished roads. Please improve; Roads in the dub division Mail center Light in the streets Thanks.

We have been mostly pleased with the inside of the house but the outside is a mess... Sloppy workmanship and poor quality materials. We had siding boards peeling off of the house after the first month and have had to have the irrigation folks out four times to fix shoddy work.

Our experience was very satisfying. The only problem was with the suggested lender. They had us sending and resending info. Since I don’t have a fax, my charges at Office Max was $20-$30 each time. It became so frustrating that I ended up going with a different lender. A tip of mine would be definitely not go with the suggested lender. I later heard that we were not the only one with the lender problem. The agent Lynette that we dealt with was very helpful and answered all our questions.

Where do I start? first, there have been some large cracks in the basement floor. then, they installed used patio door. and the biggest mistake by the builder, they dropped my garage floor. this means that the floor had to be lowered so that the incline from the street would not be too steep. BUT by doing this, they had to add steps in the garage to enter the house. those steps took away parking space and now I can not fit my car on that side of the garage. therefore, I have a 2 car garage door but only 1 car fits inside. those are the biggest issues. some of the minor ones were, they missed several spots when painting, there was a big gap between the front door and the floor. some of the windows had to be replaced, some spots in the master bathroom were not caulked. the long panel window above the patio door had to be replaced because condensation was building INSIDE the 2 panes. also, had to replace 2 panels of the garage door because they had dents and holes. A 3rd panel should have been replaced because of the holes but instead, was given insulation tape to cover the holes. I didn't have any landscaping until 5 months after i closed on the house. I am still waiting for the patio door to be replaced. I have no idea what is going to happen with having a 1 car garage after paying lots of money for a 2 car garage. ... More

We really like the layout of our house, and have a beautiful kitchen. Some issues we do have with the home is due the quality of material and labor, for instance the paint chips/scratches too easily on the woodwork and walls. We have noticed a bit of careless trade work but we aren't sure if it is due to shortage of labor in the trades?

During the contract phase of the purchase we inquired about the HOA documents. They were sent to us and we signed the contract based on those documents. We went to closing with the understanding that we could build a fence based on the styles offered in the HOA documents and found out that we were given the wrong HOA documents. Lennar offered no recourse to this issue. Had we been given the correct information prior to signing a contract we would have chosen a different community. On the other hand; the development is beautiful and will be an asset to the community. We have been in our home for 4 months now and have enjoyed meeting the new neighbors and have discovered we weren't the only ones to have this experience. All - in - All we feel that Lennar had misled us. In short; know what you’re looking for and ensure it is delivered prior to a contract. ... More

good to work with real professional

Very pleased.

To no fault of our own we have a lien on our new home. We're not sure what's happening and have had a couple of different stories. We've been in the home 5 months and this issue is still not resolved.

The home buying process with lennar was great from day one. We have had a good experience and we are happy with the with the end product. Will highly recommend the company if you are looking to build a home.
