Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, NC

Went to closing being told I had a surplus and would be receiving a check instead at closing was told I owed over a Grand.

It seems that these homes are being built too fast and the workmanship is suffering for it. When you report a problem, it seems everyone is too busy building more homes and you have to wait to have your problems taken care of.

Beware! If issues aren't addressed prior to closing, they may never get resolved! We have outdoor faucets that don't function, garage outlets that can't be used, and a front window that was cracked by flying construction site debry that we can't get fixed!!!

I have walls that are not straight and bow out. The finish work with bot the drywall and paint is terrible. You can feel under the carpet how uneven the subfloor is. I was missing the power cable that wires the tankless hot water heater to the house so we had no hot water when we moved in. The HVAC unit was installed incorrectly, had to have the HVAC company back twice to fix. Drywalled over the light switch in the hall.

The fountains in the pond mysteriously "all failed at the same time" 3 months ago. Lennar continues to tell us they are being repaired yet the fountains are still missing. We can not get a clear answer when they will be repaired,or why they sent replacing them. Algae has set in, the wildlife is dying and our aesthetic is missing. Wildly disappointing the lack of accountability and misinformation.

Would not recommend them , I sign a contract then they voided because they had to many sales for that quarter when resigned the contract they charged me more money for the , has done nothing to fix the problem not even an apology

I love my house and the development, but the issues I have submitted to Lennar, which includes water coming in under my garage door, loose front door lock system and cracked board where my 2 car garage door is attached have not been addressed and I contacted Lennar customer service over a month ago. With a few days, a representative came out and took pictures of the areas of concern and now will not respond to emails, etc. and nothing has been corrected. Other issues right after my house purchase have given me a big lack of trust in Lennar.

Be sure to have a home inspection prior to closing. Lennar as a company is not the main issues relating to the overall build. They need to oversee the sub-contracting as the quality is not there.

First I was told bu 2 people home would be cleaned when I got here, it was not cleaned and we had to get here at 6 AM to clean before movers came at 8. Then the hot water shutoff broke off, looked like had been broke and glued back together was told plumber called twice no one ever showed up for several weeks, HVAC was out for a week motor broke in attic. HVAC people put a window unit in, can't imagine my electric bill is going to be. Threhold for front door had shims, wood cracked was pointed out during inspection never fixed when asked was told it was done and it was not. I closed from another state 5/22, told everyone I couldn't be here until 6/7. Got here all the lights on and AC set at 72. Again going to be on my electric bill. The only person that really helped me was the local sales guy Darrell, He told me how to use the app to report things, went out of his way to find out things for me and I think he is fairly new. After using the app to report issues things started getting done after several weeks, almost a month of trying.I would hope Lennar if anything during my bad experience would contribute to electric bill since AC went out, windown unit running non stop tripping circuits and leaving lights and AC running for 17 days prior to me getting here. My overall experience is not good, was hounded to take mortgage, sell me home owners insurance relentlessly was even sent 74 page mortgage papers to my home. It went to the burn pile. Sent email to stop harrassing me, was told it was system generated isssue. Funny how you get hounded to take mortgage, insurance and when you need something nothing happens for weeks. Very disappointed in my whole experience, work all your life to retire and own a new home then have to deal wih all these issues. Darrell local sales guy ought to be commended at least he tried to help everytime we asked him for anything. If could do it all again would not purchase from Lennar. ... More

We suggest Lennar revise their marketing information. Lennar says everything is included, they definitely do not include everything not even a fridge. The builder also should hire experienced subs so that they will fix the problem once and be done with it vs. having them come over and over and over again and the last sub we had made the problem even worse than the prior sub.

I had a house from Lennar in Tampa that the construction, finishes and the features were top. Came to Myrtle Beach expecting the same…..what a disappointment. The quality of the work and the finishes are probably the most cheapest. The lights, rugs, paint, cabinets. Bathroom……the worst quality. I had an issue with the grading of my soil prior to closing and the Construction Manager indicated that it was due to rain. A month and a half passed by and the area did not improve. Worked with the warranty department and they involved others to solve my issue. As of today the issue has not been solved. This was my 3rd house with Lennar and probably the last one…., what a disappointment. I will be happy once I put a For Sale sign on the house. ... More

Everything was delayed. The quality is pathetic. The responsiveness of the team is so below par. Overall I would not recommend Lennar at all.

The entire experience has been poor. Issues do not get addressed and even when they are they are only half addressed. There are issues we have had since our one and only walk through before closing that still have not been addressed. We were also promised multiple walk throughs, throughout the process and did not receive them.

Subcontractors never get back to you when you need answers to questions about what was done on the house for example the irrigation system was put in at the beginning of the build I have no idea where the heads are I have no idea what type of system they're using and when I try to get information nobody bothers to call me back secondly when you asked first things from the DC after your house is closed he never gets back to you or he tells you he will get in but he never does trying to get information about the build of this house is like pulling

Ronnie our realtor is Amazing! Ian our contractor is also Amazing. We love our home and we have great neighbors. However most of the neighbors agree that gutters should have already been installed plus hardware for bathrooms. Light fixtures are antiquated. Lots of caulking in bathroom and shower was not completed. Front door lock is hard to lock. HOA is very difficult to work with, they control everything about your home. You can’t even change your mulch or bark without asking for approval not to mention buying a tree or a bush.All the neighbors complain about HOA.

Overall, my wife and I love our new home. But buyer beware, the sheetrock, painting and trim work sucks. Never realized we had to get our own garage door opener. Was told garage was paint ready, it's not. it's primer ready at best. Between giving first and second deposit, garage floor developed cracks. Was told it was within Lennar's tolerances, lol. It's not within mine. Lennar did put down an epoxy floor when I was ready to walk away from the deal. We were told the pool would be ready in April, not looking like it at this point. It was a total joy working with Chris J in the Lennar mortgage Dept. The worst was the home quality Dept. Instead of Lennar doing a quality walk through, we had to. The process is to put a small piece of tape on each issue, it took over a roll and a half. There are still many issues that shouldn't be. As much as we would buy another Lennar home, we feel that Lennar could do a better job. ... More

Poor communication throughout entire process.

Never again! EVERYTHING was purchased at the lowest grade. I'm waiting to see how long things last. No upgrades available? No gutters? Not painting the garage? The cheapest landscaping? No front doorknob lock? No ceiling fans? the cheapest can lights available, 2 already burned out. No keypad for the garage door? the garage door doesn't automatically close after a period of time? There are a lot of little things that added up. Everyone that I speak with is spending money to bring their house up to a level that this area deserves. The construction manager, Daniel, did a great job. that's the only reason for the 4-star ratings. He was responsive, and did what he could do to make the house presentable. ... More

There were a few items that did not appear to be installed correctly when we moved into our home. However, Lennar customer service is probably the best we experienced. Their reps are very polite, responsive and professional taking care of any little detail that comes up.

I would NOT recommend Lennar's mortgage. I was unable to use Lennar's mortgage company due to their inexperience and I lost out on all incentives in addition I never received all the information at closing regarding who to contact, association information ect... The tile in my master bath had to be redone multiple times. Holly was amazing she was the bright spot in this experience without her I would have walked away from this home purchase.

Overall disappointed with this purchase, starting with the closing day. Documentation was not available until the afternoon prior to closing and it showed a charge for taxes not due. Amount due at closing was not as agreed. The paint in the whole townhome is basic, low quality, whole townhome needs to be repainted. Garage is very small, you either park your car or place the trash can in it. Bathroom cabinets have no drawers. There were no finishing items in bathrooms, like toilette paper holder or towel holders. The AC unit outside if very loud and noisy and it is placed next to main bedroom where the noise can be heard all the time the unit is working. I was too excited at first with this purchase to note all the details listed here. I find Lennar's advertising misleading. I regret buying here. ... More

We were already renting in the community so we knew what style house we wanted and were pretty particular on color and location. Our sales director was amazing, he kept us posted on everything and helped to get our house color changed even after they originally said no. Dealing with the mortgage coordinator then was a challenge. She would request information and if you asked a follow up-it would be days before a response. Then she should send you and email telling you you were late returning the information. My co owner travels for work, we were assured closing would be early June so he worked his schedule around. Surprise Lennar wanted to unload our house early and tried to give us a mid May close. When I tried to change it, I spent 7 weeks trying to get an answer-in which no one including customer care did. Finally our sales rep stepped in to resolve though totally not his responsibility. Many details in the house were incorrect-I walked it daily. I had to often tell the construction manager what needed to be corrected. It took them 4 times to get our closet acceptable. We were told the lawn would be graded and trash, rocks removed. We spent tons of time doing this ourselves and as we were laying mulch still found beer cans, nails and other debris. I brought up many items on our walk through-all of which were brushed off. Example I brought up the gaps in the garage door-was told it was for hurricane braces though those are on the door not on the floor. I now have frogs in the garage and they have had to send multiple people out to fix. Our outlets are all uneven-again without redoing-no way to fix. The counters are not sealed so all wet spots stain. Overall, outside of our sales rep, I am pretty disappointed in the experience. ... More

The Muirwood Model is ridiculous. The pantry is to big which caused the island to be to far from stove-especially when taking full pots of boiling water off the stove-the primary bathroom has doors banging into doors along with the shower door encroaching into the water closet door way, the stove is horrible. You have 3 very heavy grates and a griddle which have to be removed to clean the stove properly. The quality of the fit and finishes are pathetic and cheap. Typical of Lennar. House was way overpriced.

I will say that the home is built with the lowest cost of materials possible, the interior paint is very poor in quality, and I believe it is only a primer coat, there was no garage door opener installed and we had to pay $500,00 to get that installed, the water pressure in the neighborhood is very poor and most of the new owners are very upset with the water pressure because you can't water the lawn because there is not enough pressure to run a sprinkler, take a shower, do laundry! I have had several issues with the house that need repair and can't get anyone to come out and repair it! I get told that someone will be out, but they don't show up!! No sense of urgency to meet my request for repairs. My wife and I feel that during the purchase process everything sounds perfect and how Awesome Lennar takes care of the Owner, but after the deal is done, the true colors come out and nothing gets done!!! So, overall My Opinion is that we would not purchase a Lennar home knowing what we know now!! Unless Lennar steps up and comes through with the promises they put forth, I will never reccomend a Lennar home! One final thought, The toilet in the guest bathroom is all but tipping over because the floor is so out of level the toilet doesn't mount flush to the floor!! I have called the number given for the plumber to repair it but like always, nothing has been done and I have been waiting for 5 days now for this to be repaired! what I'm being told by the plumber is " someone will be out today, but nobody ever shows up" not even a phone call telling me they wont be out!!! Very unprofessional indeed. ... More

**Report on Building Project Experience from THE PINES **Overview:** Effective communication is essential in any construction project. Louis, our site manager, demonstrated commendable communication skills, facilitating as much as possible a smoother process throughout the build and considering what and who he had to work with. **Positive Aspects:** - **Site Management:** Louis effectively managed the site, ensuring that communication flowed well between the buyer, contractors and stakeholders. His approach likely contributed to a more organized building process along with our detailed assistance. - **Quality of Materials:** There have been noticeable issues regarding the materials used, raising concerns about their durability and overall quality things used were very cheep and low grade end products. - **Contractor Cleanliness:** The cleanliness of the contractors on-site was lacking at best and substandard, which may have impacted the working environment and aesthetic of the project. - **Discrepancies in Fixtures:** Inconsistencies with fixtures was an issue it was extremely obvious from a contractors perspective that they bought their fixtures in bulk and used what they had not what would actually go with the home or at the very least match. this car is just to have to replace fixtures in order to create continuity in our bathrooms. The overall finish of the home was frustrating, particularly given the investment made was for a new build. **Recommendations:** - **Professional Inspection:** it would be highly recommended engaging a professional inspector for a future Lennar Home build. Having someone knowledgeable accompany you during ALL the walk-throughs can help identify potential issues before final acceptance. it was very notable that Lennar homes will try and push you through the process in order to simply check a box for another sale without regard of customer satisfaction. **Conclusion:** My diligence exhibited throughout the project was instrumental in my wife and I achieving a satisfactory outcome, despite concerns about overpayment. The product we received in the end was definitely not worth the money we paid for it. We hope that by sharing this experience can provide valuable insights for others considering a Lennar home. I could not understate the importance of highlighting the necessity of a would be buyer being proactive and vigilant during the building process. Remember out of sight out of mind and a lot of things can get covered up behind sheetrock. **Final Note:** The final project was OK however, the effort I put into it was more in line with a custom build, but without any decision-making or upgrading decision-making ability. Do not expect for them to waiver and floor color, down to blocking in the walls literally, they will do nothing other than build you a shell, and that will look the same as the demo. ... More
