Lennar Reviews in Greenville Spartanburg, SC

There was good experience Thank you for all.

Every Lennar employee was excellent! Always available and very responsive. Couldn’t ask for better! However, the quality of products and workmanship created quite a few hardships for us. The new air conditioner had to be replaced before the third one worked. Also, the workers drilled into the pipes in the pantry which created sewer water, mildew and mold in our townhouse. This happened twice! The floor and wall had to torn out and repaired twice. All this since August. Lennar project managers/supervisors were excellent and responded quickly.

This builder is the first builder I have built with that does not have a one year warranty punchlist, fix items, including cosmetic flaws in sheetrock and dry wall nail pops. I have found many flaws since moving in tgat I will now have to spend money on out of pocket to correct. This is totally unexceptable. I came from a builder in Tennessee that hung beautiful doors with beautiful woodwork and a wonderful one year walk through punch list check off. Ryan homes, Parkside Builders, SK builders, D R. HORTON builders all do this. My handrails never got a top coat of polyurethane in my home. Title work in showers was perfect, flooring was good. Walls and trim really poor work. I had to paint the entire home inside before moving in. Doors wouldn't close had to have them removed and plained. Crackbin guest room header upon moving in and an electrical circuit box was in the guest room wall. Why not put that on the other side of the wall in the guest room closet? I could go on and on. I will never purchase due to issues with the home, with Lennar again. This was my first and last build with them. Buyer beware! Terri F. ... More

The actual home buying was super easy and pleasant! The home itself is cheaply built and the neighborhood is definitely not as described.

We have been in our home for two months and we still don't have a mailbox.

Meets time schedules and professional reply to questions.

Salesman David not as responsive as I would have expected. Good: quick transaction (I paid cash). Aaron and Patrick the builder reps we're excellent: responsive, professional, helpful.

I would love to give a stellar review and I will say the majority of people I worked with from Lennar were great. From Lennar Mortgage to the walk throughs and everything in between, people were knowledgeable, helpful, and got back to me in a timely manner. Because I believe it’s important to give credit where credit is due, Scott with Lennar Mortgage was truly a pleasure to work with, Beth did my first walk though and was a lovely person, and Dustin did my final walk through and he was awesome! The exception to this was the selling agent on behalf of Lennar. She gave bad information several times throughout the process and made it so much more stressful/frustrating than it needed to be. It was evident she needs more training and coaching to do her job more effectively so future home buyers will have a more enjoyable and positive experience. ... More

We were tired of playing the game of looking for existing houses for sale after only a few weeks. Most were only on the market for 48 hours or less. We heard Lennar was building in an established neighborhood and had a few lots ready to put on hold. We saw the product and the value for the money was way better than anything else. It took a little over a year from the day we signed the contract until closing. We are enjoying the home and the area so much. Once the build started the process was fast.

Michael the CCR was very helpful and went above and beyond with helping get a repair fixed

Overall, we are very happy with our townhome. Other than the garage, the workmanship was great, but we wish there were window casings, Crown molding, and towel bars. They offered a nice incentive package to be applied towards closing, but didn’t tell us until after the fact that a portion of that would go to buying down the interest rate with Lennar Mortgage.

Still waiting on issues to be repaired before we closed. Said they would be taken care of and was not completed

There have been multiple construction issues requiring call backs for the installers which should have been taken care of before the move in. Wall tile was disposed of in the shower drain resulting in a complete blockage and causing water to leak under the shower pan and walls. It has been 4 week waiting to complete repairs. The warranty staff has been great responding to all issues but very frustrating and time consuming waiting for the installers to repair issues.

Final product is very nice, but it as a lot of work to get it to that point. Salesman was great at making sure I got a quality product... and he really seemed to care.

Builder wrote contract to where buyer was liable to pay for lot tax at closing but, issued a credit at closing for most of this cost IF the buyer used Lennar Mortgage. External Mortgage company could not make this $ amount up in credits in order to be competitive on closing costs.

What initially caught my attention with Lennar is the extra details they put into the design of the home. I also enjoyed working with the staff who were very helpful and quick to respond. What I did not like is the quality of the builders work. After closing I walked into a home with dirty windows and dirty floors and paint splatters in multiple places. The outlets on some of our walls were spaced out at different heights. Also, the paint touch-ups were very visible and thankfully Lennar was quick to fix that. Another aspect I did not like is the quality of the grass they planted. Everyone in our neighborhood has a bunch of weeds growing but the grass they planted is still brown in most places and only starting to become green in some places. They planted better grass near the mail box, a common space area, which was green from the beginning. ... More

For the most part, we are very happy with our Lennar home. We feel it was well built and we love our kitchen appliances. Our biggest disappointment is with the flooring. We were required to choose engineered wood, with only 3 color options. The floor had a bad spot when we moved in and has yet to be resolved. We have no children or pets, yet already have numerous scratches and nicks. It’s very disappointing. The other thing that I found surprising is that they didn’t put a mirror in the powder room and we had to install our own towel bars in the bathrooms. It makes us wonder in what other ways were costs cut that are not so obvious- I guess time will tell. ... More

IT was a good experience overall

There have been several minor issues that have been resolved quickly. We paid too much for the house because the housing market was crazy when we signed our contract and we were on a waitlist for a while. Now there are several houses for sale right around us. Timing is everything in the housing market. The biggest complaint I have is standing water in our yard after the house next door was completed and water runs down into our yard and pools. The water doesn’t stay long enough for Lennar to consider it a warranty issue with the grading though, so I guess we will have to live with it and figure out some landscaping solutions. ... More

The people who work for Lennar were great. All were very helpful and very responsive. I’m not sure the corporation was as great. Not long after we signed our contract the price for identical unsold homes was reduced. We came to an agreement and they supplemented our purchase with other perks. However, shortly after that the price was reduced again. In the end we paid $13,000 more for our home at closing than the price the same homes were being sold for on that date. Hard not to feel like we were taken.

Have issues that they haven’t solved

Once moved in noticed a few things that needed to be touched up reached out and still haven’t heard back. Blessed to have a new home for my family and I but would love a call back to get things touched up that was promised if we needed anything.

The finished quality of workmanship sucks. They should do a walk through themselves before they invite the homeowner in and fix everything they find wrong. But, they wait until the homeowner comes in, and in a couple of hours expects the homeowner to find all the problems. The finish carpentry is poor, the countertops were not cut straight or square, very cheap flat paint on the walls that gets marked up just by leaning a cardboard box to it. They wait to paint the doors after all the hardware is attached, thus more poor workmanship. Walls are not straight vertically, I have one wall off 3/4" in just the width of a 32" door. They do a poor job cleaning up for the final customer inspection, dust and dirt in corners, window sills, etc. Drywall not flush, even or square. This is a poor excuse of a quality new home. But, I will say this, they try to make it right after the fact, but it should not get to that point. ... More

Lennar has good customer service and communication. The subcontractors however are poor quality and the workmanship throughout the house is poor. We are having to put in too many warranty requests already for a brand new house because so many things are wrong and poorly done.

I have the found process of the closing, knowing who to contact for the HOA, obtaining the trash cans, getting the keys, etc., to be very difficult I am still trying to find out how to pay for my HOA fees. In addition, I was very disappointed to learn that each resident has to water their own lawns. I paid nearly $2,000 toward the HOA initial fee and no sprinklers are provided. This mean hoses are out front all the time, and each person's law will look different, I would have been willing to have paid extra for a sprinkler system.
