Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

We were dragged through the mud on getting our site selected, then having to suddenly bid on the lot and then getting lots of conflicting dates for completion (they were still cleaning and laying sod after closing and we were moving in). Two months later our pre-close checklist is not complete and warranty work is not done on days promised with no call or explanation. We love the neighborhood and location, but Lennar is tough to work with. Get ready to fight for your rights.

I would like a Project Mgr to circle back with me to arrange for my carpet to be completely installed ASAP!!!!

The building manager started out as a great asset to have in the area as we were moving in however, as time went on and more problems with the home occurred or cropped up he became less inclined to help or take responsibility for mistakes he had personally made; regarding our homes power and water supply line accounts in particular. I find this behavior to be inexcusable and completely unprofessional to not take responsibility for a mistake you made on a homeowner’s power supply application only to be made aware of it months after the homeowner had moved on, alert the homeowner that you were going to correct the issue and then proceed not to so that the homeowner then has to deal with complete loss of power and water because the accounts were never corrected. On days when it is 100+ degrees, it is not acceptable to not have any water or power supply and then be told by said building manager that it is not his job to call and correct the energy supply accounts; disregarding that he’d already said he would correct this exact problem three weeks prior. ...

Was promised to have a meeting with the warranty guy and that never happened.

The entire home buying process with Lennar was just one headache after the next. Their sales team cannot communicate anything to you in a timely manner, causing delays and missing out on lots that are for sale. Lennar Mortgage is a joke and a waste of time. I initially was working with them for buying my new home, but they dropped the ball multiple times, gave out our confidential information to the wrong people more than once, and took weeks to respond back to anything causing us to find a new mortgage lender 30 days from closing. The build quality of Lennar is subpar at best...they cut corners on everything they possibly can and refuse to fix issues. The overall quality leaves alot to be desired given the price they are selling houses for. They installed water heaters outside of the houses in the Cooper's Bluff community, and they all froze the first time temperatures dropped...yet Lennar won't warranty frozen/broken pipes or install the insulated pipe covers for the water heaters to prevent frozen pipes. Not one window or door frame are square and nearly every wall is uneven. Overall I would stay away from Lennar at all costs and go with a different builder who actually shows some sort of pride in the product they are producing for people to buy. ... More

Lennar Financial Department and Real Estate Agent where Amazing. Title company Bellamy was horrific, caused multiple issues and were not accountable for there actions. Lennar Build was well below expectations and still has not completed outstanding build issues. Tried to push off on warranty and not close actions on punch list that was created to close with open actions. DO NOT CLOSE WITH WITH ANY OPEN ACTIONS. The one saving grace to my action list has been Zack. He is not the PM one my home, but has taken on the responsibility to complete it. Zack is a Super Hero. His knowledge, morales, and work ethic have been the highlight of this brutal process. Subcontractors on this build are atrocious and were not held to on my build. I believe in the saying “inspect what you expect” this did not happen. Lennar wanted to close to preserve there metrics and due to me moving 900 miles and having to close to preserve my locked in rates I had no choice but to close. As a Veteran who served in combat I fought to protect my country and one day own a brand new home. This was a dream of mine. This dream was essentially turned into another battle, just to get what I paid for. ... More

sloppy workmanship; paint drippings on windows, floors. lack of communication. garage door still has dent. Lennar financing personnel awful. building supervisor was helpful.

Nothing good to say accept staff I met are outstanding

Very disappointed with quality and workmanship

I am so disappointed in the customer service that has been provided to us after closing. I wish I had done my research on Lennar prior to buying a home. I would have never purchased a Lennar home if I knew what I know now. The number of lawsuits, poor reviews, and complaints is just mind blowing to me, but I am experiencing first hand why. We continue to have promises broken by Lennar employees, tickets that are never followed up on, and issues that continue to not get fixed. It is clear that new construction homes are a priority over those who have already given their money to Lennar. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Location was awesome. It was a lot cheaper than a custom home. It was painful to be ripped off and know only recourse was to walk away from a nice house. Fixtures standard low budget builder grade items. Workmanship adequate to substandard. No choices or deviations from master plan. Understand have bought a “house in a box”, meaning the absentee builder or franchise operator purchased plans and hired local labor to execute. Local labor seemed to be inexperienced subcontractor or day laborers, or sketchy bottom feeder companies. Little attention to detail or focus on quality. So far, most obvious errors have been redone by professionals at warranty company. Buyer beware. ... More

Workmanship is lacking and not much info about smart devices

The agent handling our purchase, Danette, was excellent. She was very responsive and handled our needs very professionally. The house has an excellent floor plan and lot. However, no quality assurance of the work was performed. The house should not have passed occupancy inspection due to no water to the kitchen through the hot water line. A closet door was a single, instead of a double door per the house plan. Cabinet doors were poorly aligned. Guest bath vanity drawers did not close due to improperly placed water line. Garage door did not align with pavement, resulting in a gap. Shrubs were planted poorly, 2 were close to dead when planted. Doorbell did not work. Shower glass did not get installed until 2 weeks after closing. Ground was not leveled prior to installation of sod; lack of completion of sod installation resulted in failure of initial occupancy inspection. Mailbox was not installed until a week after closing; USPS was not aware of address and mail that was forwarded from home was sent back. Had to close with all these items on an "exception list", no money withheld in escrow, We are one week shy of 2 months since closing and only the following corrections were completed: shower glass, hot water to kitchen (2 weeks after closing), and cabinet alignment. Bathroom waterline was corrected, but necessitated cutting a hole in adjoining bedroom; hole filled, waiting on painter (supposed to be here today). All corrections required daily calling of construction managers. There are many other items on the exception list, still awaiting action. Lennar defined the closing date, not the buyer, and without regard to time required to complete the work so that the house was ready for occupancy by the closing date. In fact, the letter from Lennar stated that the buyer should not plan on moving into the house on the date of closing. ... More

Not impressed at all. Leading up to our closing we had nothing but problems that weren't completely address by the time we closed and had to be addressed after moving in. Had a water leak within days of closing which has now caused a mold issue that is taking weeks to even address and our new home being torn apart. Build quality overall for the purchase price is not great in my personal opinion, for example we didn't even get a screen door included with a sliding patio door, cabinets are poor quality, majority of second floor has squeaky loose subfloor, cheap laminate floors and cheap carpet throughout. I would not buy another home from Lennar. ... More

I’m very disappointed in the way they handle homebuyers .

WE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE SIGHT UNSEEN DUE TO LENNARS PAST REPUTATION OF BEING A QUALITY BUILDER, THIS WAS A BAD MISTAKE STILL TRYING TO GET THINGS FIXED, DEFINITELY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE, SO SAD T0 SEE A BUILDER GO THIS ROUTE

Drywall and painting of our home was rushed and it shows. We have crooked wall as well. The lack of concern from our project manager during walk throughs was terrible even though he promised all of our concerns would be addressed and corrected.

My mother said if you have noting nice to say don't say anything so I guess I have nothing to say.

Not worth the hassle. To many unresolved issues. No honest answer about anything.

The overall quality of the home is embarrassing. If Lennar could buy back the home today, I would gladly sell it! Too many things wrong to even begin.

Would not recommend Lennar to anyone. The workmanship is very very poor. There are countless errors that need repairs. The same repairs are having to be completed multiple times due to poor work. There is a lack of communication within the contractors. Workers will come to my home, and not know why they are there. There are paint stains on flooring and carpet. It’s also very hard to get responses from employees with Lennar. Overall, I definitely would not recommend Lennar. The experience has been a complete headache.

Rather than review the loan package and request all needed items at once the person handling the loan kept asking for one thing at a time so I would submit the one document they asked, and then the next day they want another and then another I ended up having to stay in a hotel because I sold my prior home and had nowhere to go. I’ve purchased many homes through the years and this was the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had!!

Mixed results From the sales department, we received miss information. Multiple information was incorrect. Downright incorrect. Also left out good things about the house that we didn’t even know about.. We feel there were changes made to the house and the sales person was never informed. The construction manager and sales person gave us a closing date. Your corporate closing coordinator move the date forward by three weeks and Cost us thousands of dollars and the house was not ready. In addition to that, whoever was in charge of the paperwork was nowhere near ready to have all these homes closed at the same time. After waiting for hours to close, we threatened to pull out of the deal and then miraculously the paperwork was found. On a positive note, working with Aaron and Shelley has been a pleasure and a relief because they have bend over backwards to make things right. There is a lack of quality workmanship from your trade partners. I still have a list of mile long of things that need to be corrected. I’ll let you know in the next survey how well that goes. I just want you to know how close we came to getting out of buying this home because of your closing coordinator and people involved with the paperwork on the deal. ... More

Door hinges shutter drain wrong angle towel hook not installed .

We have purchased several homes in the past, and this by far has been our worst experience. First, we had many difficulties with the builders in order to get the issues fixed correctly in the home before the signing date. The representative who was assigned to us and who suppose to be handling these issues, made us feel like we were in the wrong for bringing them to his attention, and he tried to pursued us that these issues were not valid. We had to go over his head a couple of times in order to resolve them. Very disappointed in the customer service. As far as the actual closing, we had to do a lot of the leg work ourselves in order to get the closing completed. We literally had to go to Lennar's attorney's office twice because they were not returning our calls, which was within just a few days of closing. If we did not made these trips ourselves, our closing would have fallen to the next business week, which would have cost us a substantial amount of money and caused several other issues. This was extremely stressful and unnecessary. We will never buy from Lennar again, and urge people to do their homework before choosing a builder. On the upside, we do love our home and the location. ... More
