Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

The work I asked to have corrected on my house was not done. It was painted over and that was how they corrected it. Please don't schedule final inspection 2vhours before closing.

Lennar was very dishonest when it came to me having my own realtor. I was told I was filling out a form to receive updates on new home availability and later found out it locked me in with the sales office as my realtor. The project manager was great but is given limited information. Love the neighborhood but would not recommend Lennar, unless you come with a buyers agent.

This journey was amazing. I met Holly first and she showed me the availability of homes that met the criteria we discussed. She returned every phone call within minutes and was prompt for every appointment. She was very knowledgeable, and customer oriented. She was the best. Once I signed the contract on a home, I visited the site often. Brian was the main go to guy for me. When I had questions, he had answers! He was customer oriented, knowledgeable, and ahead of the project every time. He always ask me to make a list if I saw anything that needed attention to details with the construction. I made the list, but he always had every detail on my list corrected before I would see him the following day! I also was greeted by John and/or Darrell on some days as they were looking over the workmanship of the multiple laborers completing their task. They were informative, answered questions I had, and also made sure the craftsmanship was perfect as can be! They also shared suggestions and possibilities to me to make the house and property remain in perfect condition. I also looked forward to seeing Ed and Scott on my visits. They also inspected the workmanship and would oversee that any imperfection corrected. To team was meticulous! I do not know how to make it any clearer. I was part owner of a custom home construction company at one time and I know how hard this crew works to please the customer. They were all experts in their field and focused on the customers expectations. I never passed thru the neighborhood without them waving and making the effort to be sure everything was going well! One more thing…….I love my new home! Patti B. ... More

Everyone from the sales office to Customer Care made the buying process easy and stress free. It's been many years since we bought a new home and the Lennar team was wonderful.

I love my new home. I’m so excited and proud of the accomplishment.

Like used car salesman, they fast talk you to look over and past their work. The cm had no integrity and did not stand by his word. The Sheetrock was poorly done throughout the entire house and even after a month of work still not right.

From the sales associate to the loan officer everything went smoothly and met my expectations.

We searched for a community and company to buy with for 4 years in the Summerville area. Worth the way and best decision would could have ever made. Lanar made the experience and process very comfortable and pleasant. We thank the Lanar family for helping us through the process like family.

Overall experience was great. Had issues with quality of materials and of work from builders. A few issues we pointed out final walk through didnt get fixed & after closing half finished an issue we had.

I read a lot of reviews online about the horrors some people experienced with Lennar so I was a little concerned when purchasing my home in Carnes Crossroads in SC as they were the only builder. The whole mortgage process was very smooth and easy and we were informed and communicated with often. The build was also completed to our satisfaction with few items needing attention which were resolved quickly. Overall it was a good experience.

Overall we were happy with Lennar's homebuild and process. Our pre-drywall inspection according to our 3rd party was "well above average" - meaning it was done fairly well and only maintained a few critical issues. Getting these resolved required some follow-up but our construction managers were communicative and helpful to get the job done. Slight delays outside of Lennar's control caused rushing toward the end but no key items remained unresolved by closing. Again, I would recommend walking the site and staying on top of every step of the build. Some finishes could be nicer for the cost, specifically the builder-grade closet racks, mirrors, and cheap paint/unfinished garage. Would also love to see Lennar include more things in new-build purchases like towel racks/toilet paper holders; really simple and functional things are not included. ... More

As a 1st time home buyer I would say my overall experience was good.

Very friendly experience, and good community. Would like see some benches around the walking edges of the pond.

It has only been two months and we are having problems with cracking in the walls and nail pops. Caulking is also separating from the walls. The house hasn’t been there long enough to “settle” Over all the house is great.

There were delays in finishing the home, tied to the local government and permits being issued. What was troubling was that Lennar communicated a time frame that was not reliable. What was originally a late September closing turned out to be a late November. My recommendation to Lennar is to provide a time range for closing/completion, not a tentative date.

There were some issues that were found during the final walk through. I agreed to go ahead with the closing under the assumption that they would be fixed in a timely manner. It is now almost two months later and they are still not fixed.

Everyone I came across in the Lennar world was nice except for the insurance people from Lennar Insurance. They were rude and incompetent. I've been in the house for one and a half months and I am already coming across building issues. I've heard some horror stories from other residents. I wish I had spoken to others who had purchased before me

Get your own real estate agent, don’t just use the provided Lennar agent. Our agent was able to ask questions and provide information that we never would have thought of. Lennar is like any big business, they’re looking out for themselves. The Lennar agent didn’t even come to our closing. We l’ve had plumbing issues due to a pipe that was damaged prior to our purchase and 2 out of 3 of Lennar’s warranty people haven’t all been great to work with. It just depends on who you get. The houses are nice, as is our neighborhood, but you need to make sure your stay on top of things.

With all things said and done, we got a really nice home. Sales representative were helpful and did their job. But, I think the Constuction crew were very sloppy. They did leave paint and caulk spills on the cement driveways, sidewalks and garage floors thru out development.

This was the absolute worst homebuying experience my husband and I have ever had. Please make note that this was the experience with Lennar mortgage. And does not reflect Lennar office and sales I counted 75 email communications from eight different people during the whole course of our mortgage experience. Lennar mortgage company is so unorganized. They did not answer questions that my husband and I had and we were constantly back-and-forth. They gave us wrong information. So needless to say this is the worst home-buying experience we have ever encountered. I don’t believe I will ever ever recommend Lennar mortgage to any of my family or friends. ... More

Overall very happy with my home building and buying experience. There are some corners that were cut to save costs by Lennar that I feel should be reconsidered such as not including a refrigerator with purchase, as well as the glass door for the walk in showers. It is very hard to purchase a major appliance in the middle of financing for a mortgage and this is a huge added stress to the home buyer that shouldn’t be. The walk in shower glass not being included allows for hot/warm water to seep onto the floor at times even with a curtain up, and with rollout vinyl flooring this will overtime create a problem with the floors adhesive pulling up. The grading of the yard on the side of home was poor and doesn’t drain correctly which will cost me now to install French drain. I had a great construction Manager Chris who was respectful, always on top of things and went above and beyond where he could. ... More

Great experience starting with our Agent Tina. The materials and construction are impressive. Best decision made.

Do not use Lennar mortgage. Maybe it was just my loan officer but phone calls weren’t returned. Emails not answered and I was told I was getting money back at closing. Then I wasn’t. Then I was. I was told to put 10% down but it turned out it should only have been 5%. Then I was told PMI had to have insurance on it in order to get it cancelled if I paid it off early. Then I was charged $7000 for it. Go to any other lender. Not lennar lending.

The quality of the workmanship is excellent. For the money everything looks good and the designs are very well thought out. Upgrades in he cabinet quality and flooring would be a good thing. The ability to make minor changes in the interior would also be nice.

We felt that the value we received for the price paid was great. We love our house and look forward to personalizing it and making it our home
