Lennar Reviews in Greenville Spartanburg, SC

Beautiful well built home but the finishing touches are not up to par. Excellent price. Love the neighborhood.

I have found more than enough issues with the build of this home. Today I needed to get something from behind my drive that fell. What do I know it's a hole in the wall begins the active. Cabinets busted up and stove wobbly on a piece of cardboard! Not only that but I cannot get the stove back in its place because it is so crooked. Whatever took place to squeeze it in place that busted the cabinets is something. I can't do. Now I'm stuck here with a stove in the middle of my walk area in kitchen. My light switches were put in upside down. The shower door was put in incorrectly resulting in a leak. I'm so over this place. I will never refer a Kennard home to anyone. ... More

The reason my husband and I chose Lennar for our recent home purchase in Inman SC was based on a prior experience with purchasing a Lennar home in Summerville SC in 2017. Every person we interacted with back then was sincere, thorough and pleasant. It was such a smooth process. Our experience this go around has been the opposite. I will say Robert, our loan officer with Lennar, was amazing and the only reason we didn’t take our business elsewhere. Everyone else we have interacted with has not been a positive experience. Now having an ongoing issue with our upstairs bathtub due it being damaged and repaired prior to closing and not properly reinforcing the tub floor. We have been in our home for just over a month and already the the floor of the tub is cracked. A customer care rep came to my house and said he could easily just deny the claim but because he is being nice Lennar will repair the floor of our tub when we sign a paper forever absolving Lennar, their subcontractors and suppliers of responsibility from future issues with the tub. He said the plumber would still cover their work for a year but we needed to sign paper to have the work done or we could fix it ourselves. He said the issue is cosmetic and not covered. I explained a hole in the floor of the tub because it was not supported properly is not cosmetic. The tub is unusable and not our fault. I asked if the plumber was a Lennar subcontractor and he said yes. I asked how can he say the plumber will honor a warranty for their work if the paper he wants signed says otherwise. He told me the only person that could approve the repair without the agreement of waiving the warranty would be his supervisor. I tried calling his supervisor and have not been able to receive a response. I just want the tub reinforced, repaired and have the warranty still honored. Currently my family is all using our primary bathroom to shower. This is unacceptable. ... More

We bought our first home in SC with DH Horton and thought they needed to improve their craftsmanship, but Lennar has them beat two fold!! It was a negative experience commencing with the home orientations == closing had to be pushed back because of the inadequacy in the non-completion and sloppiness in construction, overlooking details we asked to be fixed and just plain ignoring before closing! The quality or lack of quality by the "so called cleaning crew" to make the house be cleaned correctly; paint stains all over the floors! One of the positive attributes of DH Horton is that they give the new homeowners a 10 month walk through were they fixed any cracks, nail studs that occur with the house settling. Lennar just cleans their hands and says "it's your problem now"!!! Although it may be stipulated in the "warranty", this should not be an issue to have this be part of what should be covered in your 1 year warranty. When you walk into the model, it gives you the illusion that Lennar is paying close attention to the craftsmanship and details, but that is all it is -- an illusion! We've had the same conversation with some of the other new owners, and it's always the same speech given by your salesforce "you have to remember these are not custom built homes -- therefore, you can't expect everything to be perfect!" Well, when you're paying in the $300's for a new home, we should have certain expectations as a finished product! PS: I rated a two star for "value for price paid" because after we bought our house, we find out there were 8 houses for sale for $40-$50,000 less -- how is that interpreted as getting a good value for your money! ...

Our experience with Lennar has been terrible. There was very poor communication throughout the entire building process. When issues would come up, blame would be cast on other members within Lennar with no sense of accountability. The work within the house was lazy. Our walkthrough with the warranty manager was the worst customer service we have ever had to deal with. We received many excuses that any issues were not real problems. We were told "well this is not a million dollar house." We continue to have to fight with Lennar for standing water and drainage issues in our yard that is being blown off and excused away just as was attempted on our walkthrough. Do not build with Lennar, they do not care about their customers and we continue to deal with their poor craftsmanship, our neighbors have all had similar issues within our community. A very disappointing experience. ... More

We experienced a very smooth process. From sales, Karissa, to site manager Mary and warranty with Matt. These associates have made the whole buying process very satisfying. We couldn’t be happier with our new home.

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

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

We moved from Illinois to SC last year due to my job, and we (me, my wife annd our infant daughter) ended up renting a small house in Liberty. It was way too small for us, but then we found out we were going to be having another child, so the hunt for a better suited home was on. We stumbled upon our house out of luck, just 3 days after our son was born and it was a smoking deal so we had to jump on it quick. Dan made sure to give us a chance to get everything worked out and we were able to get the contract signed just 4 days after our son was born and we were in the house by the time he was 1 month old! ...

Don't Trust...Typical sales pitch...anything for a sale or commission

Mortgage communications and administrations is lacking. Sales is average. Construction quality is minimally acceptable. Construction management was lacking. Communication in the whole South Carolina division is lacking. We have requested information regarding the town house project and ownership for a month and have received NO information. We have heard nothing regarding the homeowners association. We have lived here for 6 weeks and have never received owner mail. It took us 3 weeks to get WIFI and to find out there is no cable tv. As you can tell we are extremely unhappy about our new home. Contact us and set things straight. Stop avoiding the situation . You have three townhome owners and 81 that are sold out. What is the plan for this project. Why haven’t you share your plan with the three owners? What are you hiding? Awaiting a response ... More

Have issues that they haven’t solved

The entire purchase and customer service experience was awesome. I found the staff from salesperson to project manager to warranty rep to be very professional and trust worthy. Lennar hires excellent people. The home was completed on time with just a few minor issues that were addressed promptly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend purchasing a home from Lennar.

Once you sign your contract, you become just antother number to Lennar, from the Sales Center to the Construction Foreman. They are not forth coming with information, progress updates are elementary at best. The management team is more concerened about the "sticks in the air" than they are about your home. Also, tell your buyers agent to read their contracts too, make sure they get paid on the whole house and not just the "base price" of the ho,e The sales contracts and all the addendums ore to protect the seller, not the buyer. Good Luck!

Don’t buy Lennar! There is obviously no supervision during construction and if provided no experienced construction managers. Absolutely NO CONCERN FOR QUALITY! They constantly try to fix items that were not installed properly (I.e.) doors, especially exterior doors instead of removing and reinstall properly or replace. It is sad that Lennar accepts the butcher quality of work provided by their sub-contractors. We didn’t get what we paid for! All my neighbors feel the same way!

I requested for appraisal two weeks before closing they never disclosed until the day before closing. Lennar disclosed low appraisal just the day before closing and asked me to pay the difference or to walk out leaving the pre advance paid. Very bad experience overall

My biggest disappointment is the workmanship. Sloppy messy and destructive. I expected a much cleaner final walkthrough. Fiberglass showers all had what I assumed(mistake) was clay and would wash away. Clearly workers stepped in them with cleats that gouged and left orange spots that don’t come out. Had it been cleaned better I would have known that. Don’t feel rushed. Walk through and spend time. Lennar, you are only as good as the workers you hire. Construction managers need to check sites more often and expect 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.

There was good experience Thank you for all.

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

Purchase new home from Lennar. So far happy with that. Great customer service always friendly and helpful.

Realize at present it is a sellers market, but we were given very little imput into what we would like in the property. Advised there would be a “few” steps leading to them main entrance & ended up with 16!!. Width of steps 36 inches, we requested they be widened to 42 inches enabling easier access for our furniture (damaged when being delivered) but advised not possible only to see properties being built now have 42 inch steps. Sales rep. advised she showed every prospective purchaser picture of properties showing steps, unfortunately not true as we & certain neighbors were NEVER shown, in fact the pictures we received prior purchase as advised by construction department was of houses not actually built in our subdivision. Even entrance from garage to house has 10 steps & garage ceiling 19 ft high, how do we change the garage light bulb when requires changing? Garage had to be extended by 2ft to accommodate 2 cars, house advertised as 2 car garage then sales rep. advised it was a 1 x full size car + 1 x compact car, no mention of this in the Lennar literature. Closed on property 04.04.2022., 8 weeks ago & still waiting for glass shower screen to be installed in Master Ensuite Bathroom, internal stairs wrought iron work to be rectified to meet building code & correct installation of dish washer. Every time it rains yard flooded from property at rear, advised when property at rear “sodded” this will rectify problem, but not certain this is the answer & believe a retaining wall is required & agressive grading. Actually an accident waiting to happen as young children could easily be swept away once the water breaches the plastic sheeting presently installed. We have previously purchased new properties & never ever experienced a purchase so one sided in favor of the seller & information provided by the sales rep. proving to be so inaccurate & then actually denied having been said when queried! You obviously should have gathered we have not been impressed by the whole property purchasing process & would definitely NOT recommend anybody to purchase a Lennar built home. Remember it won’t be too long before it switches from a sellers market to buyers market & if Lennar’s corporate office/sales team don’t change their ways of dealing with future purchasers can’t honestly see them selling many homes!! ...

loved working with Lennar, great experience

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.

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.
