Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

We have been lied to, misled, dismissed, and a few other negative experiences during our Lennar purchase and ownership. From the first problem with the closing date requested when making our offer through our first significant warranty claim, it has been problem after problem, and struggle after struggle. This is our third new home purchase, and I feel we are familiar with how this process should go. Lennar has been the worst experience of the three. No one seems to care and no one seems to be empowered to do the right thing, let alone resolve anything. Running out of places to turn for help, and this is just the start of our home ownership. ...

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

Workmanship is inferior and many of the materials that were used should never have been used. I’ve been in my house for only 2 months and already considering selling it.

Worst home buying experience only except for my realtor. Would never buy another Lennar home or recommend to anyone!!

Everything about this home buying process was miserable and it was made worst when we moved in. We spent over a million dollars on this home and it is made so poorly. They even forgot to put air ducts in my home.. how do you miss that. The only thing that has come out of it, is that these issues have made me bond with my neighbors over our infatuation of Lennar and our home. I even told one of the builders I wasn't happy with lennar and as opposed to asking me why.. he said "thats a common theme". If it is a common theme then fix it. I am so incredibly disappointed that I can't enjoy my million dollar home ... More

Absolute horrible experience from beginning with our sales person to the very end. They have no ethics and do not follow true building codes. Sakes people tell you lies, the floor plan is 3rd grade pictures, craftsmanship of the house is beyond low grade, project managers aren’t even licensed builders which is why so many issues occur. No follow up from top to bottom. I closed in September and have 3 page punch list that has taken forever. I’ve had to have outside vendors come in. 48 outlets on 2 breakers isn’t even electrical code despite them trying to convince you it is. I can go on forever with all of the issues that have and are occurring. Lennar doesn’t care so avoid buying a Lennar home. I will continue to advocate this message on every social media platform until this corruption is exposed. ... More

Horrific! Nothing about Lennar says professionalism. Poor craftsmanship and poor customer service. Our new home has more issues than a fifty year old home. We basically had to do our CM’s job because he didn’t. Even the closing was a joke! What should have been a happy day was a cluster mess our house was filthy when we closed and we had over a 100 punch list items and not minor issues. We couldn’t even move in the first week we closed because our CM kept promising things would be done prior to closing - lies all lies some issues had been outstanding since pre drywall and he waited until the day of closing to fix things. If we had it to do over again - we would not buy from Lennar. Oh and the warranty folks that are just as bad waste of time they set up these calls and give you dates and times with contractors to fix issues then the vendors call you right back to schedule because whatever dates and times Lennar gives you are wrong! Horrible experience! We’ve built 3 homes and this Lennar home is by far the worst! ... More

I have smoke alarms constantly going off. I need someone to address this asap! I have reached out to the contractor with no help!

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

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".

We were given the opportunity to "punchlist" the home and many of the items were either unaddressed or the tape marks remained after we moved in. The craftsmanship was really poor, as well as the quality of materials. The project superintendent talked down to all of us on the buyer side, including arguing over a clear code violation until it had to be escalated above his head. It was very clear that the priority was speed to market and margin over any sort of pride in their work or customer satisfaction.

Has been almost two months and I still have issues not fixed with little communication. Finishing touches around the house were terrible. House was not cleaned prior to closing. Overall nightmare trying to actually make this house a home.

Avoid Lennar. The house is still a construction zone 5 months after closing and follow up has been terrible. I will never buy another Lennar home.

After being closed for 5 months, one of our bathrooms still is not functional. The diverter valve which controls the flow of water between the tub and shower head was installed upside down which causes water to flow from both the shower head and tub faucet simultaneously. Weather stripping is still missing on the rear door (it was never installed). The list goes on and on. I would never recommend Lennar as a builder and would certainly never recommend using their mortgage service.

Absolutely the worst experience we have had in the 7 home we have purchased.

I would never buy another home built by Lennar. EVER.!!!!!

I had Lennar build me a home in Liberty Village Goose Creek, SC 5/2020 and what a terrible unprofessional experience it has been. Do not allow them to con you into closing when there is outstanding work or issues that remain. They will tell you they guarantee they will fix your issues, and that problems are tracked by the Charleston office, and then blow you off as they did us after closing. Look them up in Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. Their work in Florida is even worse than SC. Definitely go with another builder. The floor in the picture is where my dresser sits on top in the Master Bedroom. The dresser shakes and rattles and the attached mirror shakes violently when I walk past. Lennar says no problem noted and they refuse to fix. You can clearly see rotten wood they used for flooring/framing. The pic of the roof displays a group of nails shot up thru from the inside. There were actually 2 areas like this on my roof. One would think the worker repairing this area would have caught this but, the homeowner had to notice from the ground level. We asked the worker to walk the entire roof and check for more nails but, apparently too difficult. Lennar doesn't care. Another pic is of the threshold transition to the garage they couldn't make right so they use 3 types of wood. Mud dripping over the door frame so they just paint over it rather than remove. Puddles of wetlands liquid come up thru the driveway expansion joints, daily. Can't hammer a nail or miter molding. Just paint over it. Lennar says, no extra charge. Enjoy! ... More

Attention to detail and pride of workmanship was not a concern of the builder.

Wow?! Can’t even leave a bad review.... I’ve tried multiple times. They don’t want to hear anything that may be negative. I guess that’s how you get voted number 1.... delete and discard any bad press. Do Not Buy from Lennar!!!!
