Lennar Reviews

They won't listen. They don't have any respect for customer.

Construction is horrible for the price, they take a long time to fix issues and give you the run around. I am extremely disappointed. I expected more from Lennar.

Quality of materials used is poor, property seems to have gone up quickly with a lack a quality control, when issues arise, there is a delay in response, appointments for repairs were made and no call/no show. Neighbors have expressed discord regarding quality as well.

The purchase, closing and Walk Thru process was excellent. Amazing, smooth and professional experience. However EVERYTHING after has been a stressful, time consuming, unprofessional, unfair, disrespectful nightmare. If I am exaggerating, PLEASE I would welcome your feedback. I will not go into ALL the UNRESOLVED ISSUES at my new LENNAR Home; just going to give you a few examples. There is currently an OPEN Customer Care Ticket for LOTS of water leaking in our garage thru the Front Door pavers. I first reported this on the VERY FIRST DAY I actually moved in (JUNE 8, 2019). I sent a photo of the garage all full of water with the moving companies truck in the background. We could not unload most of our furniture because the garage was all wet. TODAY is SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 and you finally “sealed” the leak about 10 days ago, however the pavers directly infront of our entrance door STILL have not been replaced. However we have opened & closed SEVERAL tickets for this UNRESOLVED issue. Remember I 1st reported this 3 MONTHS AGO on June 8th. Would you call this great customer service for a brand new $450K home or unprofessional, pathetic and disrespectful? I still cannot install ceiling lights or fans because of ANOTHER OPEN TICKET well over two months old. There was water in the ceiling, which accumulated into the light fixtures. I was told it was condensation or the A/C might be leaking etc etc. I was also promised a mold inspection since water sat there for over two months without ANYONE even taking a look in the attic. Over a month ago, several members of your Maintanance team were at my home and we asked to go ahead and remove one of the ceiling fixture in order to see if I could finally install a ceiling fan. When one of your guys removed it, he got “SPLASHED” with water on his face. I believe Carlos Rodriguez, Teo, James and maybe Chris witnessed this. You can ask them if I am lying. TODAY 09/27/19 I still cannot instal a ceiling light or fan. You STILL haven’t done the Mold Inspection. And I am STILL paying $300 a month to have my stuff in storage. So how would you describe Lennar’s Custimer Care? 5-Excellent. 4-Pretty Good. 3-Average. 2-Below Average. Or 1-EMBARRASSING, PATHETIC and DISRESPECTFUL? I feel it it a (1) because there is not a (0). Thanks again for turning our new home buying dream into a nightmare. ... More

Hi your reps were awesome. They really helped. Truly appreciate thier help with the microwave, they went above and beyond. I want to say more about them, but I just had surgery. I have asked Lennar and the Property Management company's Raul (that Lennar contracted) about the dead shrubs, plants and trees (just as I did about the dog poo and dumpster) nothing has been done. The city was called, not only by me about the poo, but also two other owners about the dumpster and grounds. I have owned since April, I pay $150 a month, apparently to maintain a very small pool and nothing else. Haven't seen one groundsworker the entire time I have owned. Have found dead large rodents lately scattered about, litter, etc..... Not a one.... Unhappy, not with Todd or James, but with whomever oversees and is supposed to respond to what appears to be a dump of a neighborhood that I invested way too much money in.... ... More

This company has no business building houses . My two kids could have painted the house better and that’s not the only problem , the flooring company they use is the worst Not only that after repairs are done you feel like you should have just done them yourself . I’m the dummy who read all these bad reviews and said ‘it can’t be that bad ‘ lol Trust me it’s that bad

Warranty work not completed or completed satisfactory. Multiple mistakes found throughout the home. Yard left in unacceptable conditions, not safe for children. Serious electrical issues not address in home despite notification to company.

Lennar should be embarrassed to close on a home in this poor condition. There is no quality control. From door knobs falling off to plumbing fixtures detaching. The list is long. I feel they threw my home together and they are taking their sweet time fixing all the problems. I do not recommend nor will I ever buy a Lennar.

There are several things wrong. My home flooded within 24 hours of moving in, due to Brandon *Building Site Manager* not properly installing a whose on my washer. Ultimately causing 3-areas of my home to have water damage, mold/mildew and wet carpet. Took the builder 3-months to rectify the problem through warranty department. Builder was not flexible with home owners. Builder insisted the homeowner take off work for repairs instead of working around homeowners schedule. Lennar made a lot of written (via email) promises and never kept them. Horrible Experience. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone looking forward to purchasing a home. It has been a horrible experience. ... More

Very Good

Lennar prides themselves as a production home builder to a point where their approach to a home is to build as many homes with the minimal quality and maximum profit that they can get away with legally. Where the buyer and/or potential home owner is simply writing the checks - without input and concern. They set closing dates for acceptance and turnover before the work is complete and/or inspected. They leave behind many conditions of Non-Conforming work like dead trees, code violations, grading problems and leaking roofs / insect infiltration to name just a few. There is nothing in their delivery model where they allow disclosure of their home package - inside and outside or where you can provide your expectations for your new home. You take it or you leave it! Buyer beware in any Lennar community if you value quality, partnership at a fair price. That does NOT exist with anyone at Lennar and their business culture of delivering a good product! ... More

Ever since we put a down payment on this place it has been problem after problem.

The property that was presented to us at the NHO include what is now call common area.

i hate it i am unhappy rude people unhelpful broken stuff in a brand new home cant wait till i sell

The overwhelming defects in our new home and the lack of response to our concerns is heartbreaking. We watched our home being built on a regular basis and pointed out deficiencies and wanted them addressed to no avail. We moved in and are now living a nightmare in trying to resolve workmanship and defective materials. Contractors and Manufacturers are at odds and we are their victim of circumstance. This was to be our final home purchase for our retirement. It is seriously going to kill us first with the anxiety/stress and depression we are experiencing. We've only lived in our Villa for 5 months. Greed and lack of inspections are obviously the cause of our dilemma. ... More

I WOULD NOT recommend Lennar. I can’t even count the number of things that went wrong which started with permitting the wrong elevation. We caught so many issues then were made to feel like we were being difficult when we’d bring them up to the builder. We were trying to have items corrected before it became too late to do so. Examples of what we caught were: house painted the incorrect color both inside and out, tile stopped and squared prior to where it should have been & had to be redone, floor plug placed in incorrect location (would have been in the walking path and not under furniture had we not moved it to the same location as in the model home), cabinets hung too low (washer lid would not have cleared when open - they were 2-3” lower than model), tile placed in area that was supposed to be carpeted, incorrect light fixture hung in dining room, incorrect stain on railing to upstairs, kitchen island placed in incorrect location (by 18”!!! Then the prewires for the pendant lights had to be moved as well). Then because the house “sat” in the elements (heat & rain), all the exterior wood that was not protected by tyvek or shingles became warped and had to be torn off and replaced (including the flooring in the 2nd story). Given the fact that rework is the most expensive part of any manufacturing process, I would have thought Lennar would want to prevent these errors from occurring, but they didn’t seem to care at all. The house took 15 months to build which seemed pretty ridiculous. We ended up the last house to complete on our street - we should have been done earlier then at least 10 others that started after ours. The entire process was maddening and I would never do it again and never recommend Lennar as they just don’t seem to care about their customers. ... More

I will never recommend to anyone to buy a Lennar home. The quality of the materials (drywall especially) is pathetic. The workmanship is below average. The trustworthiness is a zero (it wasn't an option). After purchasing the home, all Lennar has done is lie to us. Responsive to issues . . . got to be kidding me. Lennar doesn't respond to issues. Lennar is worthless.

I would give 0 stars if I could!!!!!! My experience with Lennar has been HORRIBLE outside of the person I worked with in finances. I have been lied to by the sales department, construction manager, lawn company, HOA and warranty company. My home was poorly built and now I have to put in service request to have patch work done, when they people doing the work decide to show up. When someone FINALLY comes, rather complete the work the error is pushed off on another trade. I really wish Lenna would stand behind the quality they advertise during the showing.

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

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. ...

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

Do not close on your home until everything is move in ready. Very inconvenient to try to schedule warranty items.

Extremely sloppy work done. Most workers are so creepy and scary, you don't want them to come back to fix anything. Many, many holes inside and out, unfinished work, dents, paper or plastic painted over on walls. Not even cleaned before move in. Construction dust, dirt left behind. Dead plants. Just a disgrace.

Issues still not resolved , taking my experience to Washington post paper, npr radio and bbb

I would not buy from Lennar again. They are irresponsible, rude, and dont care about you as the buyer. Having a lot of issues with the home still and they are not fixing. My wife and I were made homeless because they were trying to make their numbers for the month. They asked me to walk through the home at 11PM in the dark. The trades they hire are the lowest rated and dont speak English. I would not buy from them and I would give 0 stars if possible.
