Customer Reviews

Lennar - Very accommodating, willing to help us in anyway possible.

  • Nicholas R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Summerville, SC

Very accommodating, willing to help us in anyway possible. They were very flexible with our situation when we had issues selling our other house first. Our construction manager (Chip) is second to none, he did a great job on our walk through and explained everything well so I was able to understand how our new home works.

Lennar - Nice home, but many issues and no response on the issues.

Nice home, but many issues and no response on the issues. Still waiting for the back door lock to be repaired. Not very safe without it! And can still see outside front door when closed

Very responsive to our questions. We love the house. My husband is a builder so he has a critical eye. WE are extremely happy with the final outcome.

Lennar made our home buying experience fantastic! From selecting the home style and options to closing they kept us in the loop on progress and delays (COVID related material shortages). Amazing touch with the welcome home banner and red carpet treatment at closing!

We were told when buying the house that the community pool and clubhouse would be built soon.5 months later they ate just starting. With temperatures in the 90,s now and no place to use a pool things are not pleasant.

Quality of work could be better

  • Jimmy P.

The quality of the overall work could have been better. There were things during the building process that I caught that shouldn’t have been my job to catch. Also the sod was horrible, they had to redo it and it still is a mess. Sales Rep Gina was amazing and customer service Heather has been amazing! Overall still happy with my home but I feel as though Lennar needs to focus on quality over quantity as I feel they have gotten away from that.

From initial interest to moving in and beyond, we’ve dealt with well-informed, professional, friendly Lennar reps. We knew what to expect and when, questions answered promptly. Since moving in, there have been a few minor glitches, which have been quickly remedied. Impressive follow up from Lennar to be sure we are satisfied.

We loved Ashley (the Lennar rep who sold us our home), but their customer service department is not very responsive. We had several things that were not completed or in bad shape upon moving in and we still have not had those things repaired. We have been in our home since February of this year.

Do not close unless home is “complete” correctly. We had a “punch list” of over twenty items not complete at closing and here now 4months later still many things not complete. Get a home inspection.

Lennar responded:
Hi Kellina, thank you for taking time to share your review with us. We would like to apologize for the items that are still outstanding four months after your closing. If you would like us to follow-up with the Customer Care team, please send us a note at corporatecustomercare@lennar.com with any details you can provide. - Lennar Customer Care

Issues were not addressed promptly, corners were cut on quality and some pieces were thrown together and not built correctly, like the island in the kitchen. The best part about this process was the sales person, Penny!

Worse build ever!!

  • Kevin G.

  • June 22, 2021
  • Summerville, SC

So not sure where to start. Bought house with down payment, Lennar waited 3 months to start building, we went through 3 Construction managers, the 3rd one quit 2 weeks after we closed. Craftmanship is awful!! walls are wavy, paint is extremely cheap. Calking throughout home is bad. DO NOT BUY LENNAR HOMES. When we did our walk through we found issues, they told us that these issues would not hold off closing, I asked for all issues to be taken care of prior to closing. We found out during final walk through only a few were taken care of, the 3rd CM didn't even care about the issues. Now 4 ...

Low quality of craftsmanship

Let’s start off with the good. Jennifer in the sales team, was great to work with. Everything else has not been a good experience. The craftsmanship of the house is not of the quality you would expect from Lennar or any home builder. There are so many issues with the home. Once we submit a ticket the team try and take the easy way out of fixing the problem and then it looks worse than it did originally. The team have to fix it numerous times and it fix is not of the quality you would want for a brand new home. Another issue is the lack of responsiveness to getting open tickets done. We have ...
