Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

Finance process was very frustrating

I'm sure others have covered all the typical pros & cons of the home itself. The one area I find highly frustrating is moving into a new home and it backs to a future phase that has been postponed. That land which many new homeowners view everyday since it's right in their back yard has piles of trash and debris 2 stories or higher. It also has mountains of dirt at least 3 stories high. There's more but I'll digress. My understanding is that it will be a year or more before anything is done with this mess. Lennar needs to address this in Horizon's at Summers Corner even if it's just removing the trash & huge steel containers and then leveling out the dirt. Anything would be an improvement to make this eyesore less painful to us new homeowners. ... More

Working with Lennar overall was positive. However, you have to understand what you are getting which is a quality spec home at a good price. You get what you get. They mass produce houses and you will have the occasional issue. Also certain things may or may not be included.

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.

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.

Foremost it is a lovely home, however, there is way too much paper work that creates a lot of confusion. Constantly going back and forth no one can retain all of the information. Moving in I did not have time to seal the granite so just spilling water on the counter makes it darker in spots. It should have been sealed before we moved in.

Trouble getting mailbox and keys

Going through Lennar’s financing was a long process I think it was because we went VA but still the amount of items the underwriter kept asking for was ridiculous we actually didn’t know we were set to close until 12 before we closed! We have great credit to so I’d hate to see how it would be if you don’t! Eunice was really helpful and nice! The house is beautiful but there are some things that they’ve cut corners on for sure! We are overall happy but there are things that could be improved on!

Nice spec home with great design/layout and able to further personalize to meet my needs. Yard needs work-lots of mounds and low areas and turf not growing as it should on this property but not all properties. Lennar very responsive to address issues & answer questions so overall, good experience continues to evolve over time

Quick, helpful, clean, organized, spacious

Purchasing a home was easy and on time. Sales staff were very nice. Construction Manager was very knowledgeable and answered questions quickly

Our team here at StJohns Lake was terrific. They were on top of any and all issues during construction though final walk and closing. Since closing we had 1 issue with lighting which was corrected quickly. We could not have asked for a better construction management group. Thank you

We are pleased that we were able to purchase the home of our choice. Our sales rep Penny was responsive to all of our questions. We have good interactions with our construction manager and our repair coordinator. We have also been pleased with the responsiveness to our requests for repair issues. All the new homeowners including ourselves are anxious for communication regarding the building of our amenity center.

All was great until I came home one day and found 2 men replacing the air compressor on my air conditioner They were told the house was vacant which clearly it was not They could not provide me with any work order and told me I would have to contact the hvac company which I did without explanation other than they had a work order .The hvac company went ahead and registered my air conditioner so they could get paid for the service and I did not find this out until I went to register the unit a few days later.

It basically was a good experience.

Our project manager Kevin was very responsive.

The quality of work from the trades is horrible. It’s a shame there are so many issues with homes at this price point. The emphasis seems to be on closing homes, and correcting the issues afterwards, rather than staying on top of issues during the home building process.

Gina was very helpful, thorough and proactive in guiding us through the home purchase. John, our builder, did a great job getting the house completed on schedule and giving us a warm welcome and thorough walk through on the closing day.

We recently purchased a Columbia home model with Lennar. The process went smoothly with their lender and title company. Our loan processor was awesome. There were other minor issues but they fixed them after our initial walk through, which was great. Thank you Lennar!

Lennar does a good job with its homes from start to finish- including financing.

Andrew and his team did a great job with construction of our home. He was responsive to issues found, and had the quality of the home and happiness of the customer in mind at all times. Debbie and the sales team were great in helping us through the design process as well. Very good experience all around.

Overall a positive experience, we are very happy with our new home.

The staff is great. The quality of work by the contractors on the finish work (paint, baseboards, alignments, etc) was not up to par!

We love the floor plan. Was disappointed in 2 x 4 vs 2 x 6 studs. The build should have more insulation included. No major issues at this 3 months in. Closing was seamless. We hope to live here for many years.
