Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

This is our second home, which was built by Lennar. We continue to have problems that have been outsourced for replacement or repair. The reports and updates we are getting reflect on Lennar as uncaring if we do not sign off on service tickets. Twice now a ticket has been closed without a completed repair. Where is the care in that?

I almost went with another builder that was a bad deal and I went with Lennar and it was all wonderful and honest and I am very happy with everything. The service has been great and the people are do nice. I would recommend to anyone Lennar.

Processing team were always late in updating me especially the closing never told me till I called the office. Very poor communication

Excellent build quality with lennar

There were many construction issues with the house whenever I did my final walk-through on 2/17, when the house was set to close on 2/22. As this community does not “blue tape“, I was asked to email all of the issues to the construction manager so that repairs can be made prior to closing. They set another walk-through for 2/21, at 4:30 PM. When I got there, most of the issues were fixed, but there were still plenty others that had not been addressed. Regrading of the lawn was to also be done, and that did not happen. Quality manager became frustrated with my pointing of persistent issues, to the point where he stated “well if you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy the house.“ Now, a month of being here and I’m still putting some of these same issues through the warranty process. Lennar is now refusing to regrade the lawn unless it’s holding water for over 48hrs. As closing was set on 2/22 at 8 AM, there was no way that I could have another walk-through before signing, and that should not happen to a home buyer. Furthermore, the mortgage team sent an email on 2/15 stating closing would be on 2/22, and to have either a cashiers check or wire payment set up. Given this option, I opted for a cashiers check. I did not hear anything back from the mortgage team regarding details to closing, such as the time and place of where this would be done. Finally, my realtor reached out to the team. On 2/21 at 9:59 AM, I received an email from the mortgage team stating closing would be done remotely, and to have a wire transfer set up the day prior so that there is no delay in receiving the money; cashier’s check would not work with remote closing. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so without proper notice I was unable to set up a wire early enough. I had to leave work early so that I can make it to the bank before they close at 5 PM, and set up the wire transfer. I planned to leave work 4 PM already because of the 2nd walk through, but instead had to stop at the bank first, so this in turn made me late to my second walk-through that was set for 4:30 p.m. (which added to the quality managers frustration and led to his unprofessionalism). While there’s a plethora of minor issues I could continue with, the point has been made. The moments leading up to what was meant to be a positively life changing experience as a new homebuyer, turned out to be disheartening and unnecessary let down. ... More

Quality of material and workmanship are good. However, final checks require improvement. Few examples: Entrance door was missing screws. Garage floor has paint and lots of dust. For every ticket (for issues), I submit, I am required to submit virtual session, enable video to capture the details. While the owner is in the process of move (packing, moving, un-packing, setup utilities..etc), it is extremely difficult to cater time for a virtual sessions + schedule repairs..etc. Instead of virtual sessions, I suggest enhancing your issue submission application to allow capturing the picture or video or both and submit. If you have enough information, this will eliminate virtual sessions. Also allow owners to update the ticket if the status changes - I mean if the issue got resolved or they managed to fix it or managed to get some help to fix it..etc Also use the issues information (wealth of knowledge) to take proactive action - I mean alert owners to check few things (check list within the 1 or 2 months of move-in) and report if there are any issues, before they report. If you need additional information, feel free to contact me. I hope this helps. Also I commend the services of the person who oversees fixing the issues. Very prompt, professional - a great asset having the person! ... More

Buying a lennar home is not for the weak, loan officer's are terrible, unknowledgable, Unorganized and truly do not have the customers interest in mind. That goes all the way to management, my l9an officer kept putting blame on others and not fixing anything such as my disclosures being incorrect multiple times and him saying that it didn't matter only the final one matters. Then a manager took over my loan, and he was rude and disrespectful, stuff sent incorrect disclosures, and then chose to tell me I was "high maintenance" because I had to reach out to him everytime something was sent to me instead of him doing his job. Then closing day came, we had communicated many times that my closing was virtual, then the day off he told me an hour before that my closing was now in person, the office is more than an hour away. Had no respect for me or my time. Once I arrived to the office to close he was informed I was there. Chose not to even come and introduce himself until his higher up told him too. To sum it up, buying a lennar home is a nightmare and not for the weak. The only person I am grateful for is Mark, he was my sales consultant, he was there every step of the way and was truly incredible. If it wasn't for Mark I would have quit the process and not bough this home. ... More

I love my new home! I had a really good experience with my salesman Lee and with John who I did the walk through with. All went smoothly.

We love our new home

I have very good experience with Jon and my loan officer (Christian) and his team. But on my backyard the drainage (landscape) is really bad. I report for lennar home care last month 03/10/2023 and they told me the builder will fix the landscape. It's over a month now and a lot of water on my backyard. There is rain last Wednesday after 6 days still a lot of water.

This is the second purchase of a Lennar home for us. Excellent customer service and experience both times.

All of these people above are a huge reason why we bought and the responsiveness to any detail we may have is addressed quickly and proficiently

Everything was good with the building experience, the communication, time lines. but there are a lot of Quality issues, workmanship and materials used. Simple things like Sodding, Attic Access, Fence, Plumbing, Tiles, Flooring ... every where the quality speaks ... Never i will again buy a Lennar Home

There were little things forgot that were supposed to be installed in the home. The ring system was hard to set up. Had to call on each piece of equipment to set up. The front line sales person seemed annoyed with the process of the transaction as well. Everytime a question was asked he acted like it was a task to give out info.

Lennar Sales Team did no do good job in selling the property. Waitlist concept was not implemented and homes (phase-3) were sold on first come first base prior to the email notification of the phase availability etc. i have waited for an year and dreamt for my first home and end up with unsatisfied floor plan.

I found it too difficult to gain attention of the sales staff at the model office. I visited the subdivision at least two times but was told to use online system to set appointment with the sales agent and was told that there was long waiting list. That discouraged me as a buyer to proceed any further. Finally, during the last week of December, I used the online system to set up an appointment and saw a sales agent. This time she told me that Lennar was offering excellent deals to sell several inventory homes. I ended up making an offer and purchased the home I could have purchased almost a year before. Although the process of closing went smoothly, I felt that I was not informed of many steps ahead of time. The quality and workmanship is very poor. Also, there is only one entry and exit point to the subdivision, which makes getting in and out very difficult and dangerous. ... More

Initial contact with Lennar was amazing. Kevin was spot on. Deacon made the financial process smooth. Since moving in James has been great. Overall it is a beautiful experience and I will do it again if I could.

During our experience, we faced constant communication issues with our sales rep. There were times when we wouldn’t hear from him for weeks on end during the last few months leading up to closing. Our close date got pushed back multiple times which wasn’t an issue, the problem was that it was only communicated to us with little to no notice or until we reached out for an update multiple times. If there is one suggestion I can give to Lennar, it is to hire coordinators or customer success reps to facilitate updates and questions during the home buying process if the sales person is not going to take on that responsibility. ...

There was no effort to make the new home buying experience nice. I have bought 4 other new homes and this experience was the worst by a long shot. Additionally, the quality of the home is very poor, from appliances to dry wall work to doors not closing properly.

Some of the items were missing post closing which were part of plan. When I raised request each team is pointing to others. No one communicated that these items were not part of the house I purchased, but as per them it’s a known issue for some houses.

I love my house! I found a new house with a great deal. I love my neighborhood. It took less than a month to do everything .

Overall had an experience I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Horrible customer service representative, who was so aggressive and self centered that she recommended to forget about our crying baby who just fell and hurt but focus on her as she needs to go. Every single request for issues is fraught back with not supported comment or do it yourself suggestion.

Builder response on few reported items was quite awesome and completed reported issues on time. The house orientation by the QA team was not expected though, should have spent some more time and covered each part of the house

Working with Lennar was a nightmare. I’d heard negative stories from friends and my real estate agent about buying a home from Lennar, but I’m usually a pretty easy going guy, so I didn’t expect to actually have any issues with them. I was very wrong. Two of my friends who were also moving into this development backed out of their contract and sacrificed their $3,000 deposit because of how bad their bad experience was. Instead, they went with a DR Horton development and loved it. I decided to stick with Lennar, but in retrospect, I wish I would’ve backed out too. Their communication is horrible. They don’t respond to most emails, texts, or calls. They didn’t schedule a closing date and time with me until a couple of days before, which by that time, I’d already had travel plans and had to make adjustments. They changed the flooring for my house from what they had initially told me, and didn’t even bother to give me a heads up. They tried to strong-arm me into using Lennar’s lender, even threatening at one point that they weren’t going to let me close if I switched to my preferred Lender. On closing date, they promised that they’d have the certificate of occupancy from the city that same day. Because of that, I agreed to go ahead and close. However, when I went to get my keys the next day, they wouldn’t give them to me because they still hadn’t received the certificate. I felt tricked and manipulated. It was incredibly upsetting that I had just bought a house and couldn’t even get my keys to move it. Immediately after moving in, the garbage disposal and dishwasher stopped working. My mailbox key didn’t open my mailbox. Instead, it opened someone else’s mailbox. Lennar is having to reprint keys to my box, and to this day, I still can’t access my mail. But I can access my neighbors mail. They haven’t responded to me or given me any kind of update about when this will be fixed. A month in, and my cabinets are pulling away from the wall (which isn’t covered by warranty), so I have to fix the issue myself. I closed on my house over 6 weeks ago, and I still don’t have a working dishwasher or garbage disposal, I can’t even access my mail, and I’m having to fix cabinets. ... More

Bathroom faucet is not strong enough, landscape not well done, it retains water and have killed the grass
