Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

Quality of workmanship is very poor the painting the meal worked

As a first time home buyer, you expect certain things but I know not everything can go as planned. Communication at the start of my process was great between the loan officer and home consultant. As the weeks go by, I start to send out documents and I’m getting emails to send the same documents I sent weeks ago… or even just a couple days ago… are they not checking what I am sending. I was also given a very high interest rate even though initially I was told it was going to be a lot lower… the fix?? If you can get a lower rate elsewhere we will match it! Why not just offer the lower rate… Long story short to that, Lennar Mortgage matched the lower rate of the other bank. Now comes the last couple of months and lack of communication to myself and between Lennar staff. I was told closing would be a certain date but that got pushed multiple times until I finally closed 3 months from when I was originally told. I also had a scheduled walk-thru and was double booked that day so that got pushed a week. On my final walk-thru, the day of closing nothing was completed and blue tape was still up from when I taped. Miraculously, I still closed that day because I had it pushed a couple of hours. With all of this, no one was in communication with each other, loan officer didn’t know closing was pushed, home consultant didn’t know walk thru wasn’t done, and so on. In terms of build quality, it could be a lot better. I did have my own 3rd party inspection who mentioned the bones of the home was great but marked the little stuff that Lennar actually fixed. But to this day (a month and a half into living in the home) I am magic eraser-ing the small splatter of paint I see on the floor corners or floor edge. Would I recommend Lennar? if you’re going for price sure. But if you want quality in terms of home and the whole process I’d look elsewhere. ... More

This is my second home I bought from Lennar and it is the worst experience I ever had. First, The seller is empty promise, example - Promise to close on Oct, Nov and finally close in Dec. We agreed not escrow property tax in monthly payment. last minute still want to escrow and penalty 1% of I want to take out the escrow. I bought 8 houses in my life so far, I never heard such thing that you have to escrow property tax, they said company policy, if it is than let us know before we purchased and put the deposited. I am not happy with the house detail finish, however I got to moved out of my renting place, because I told my LL that I move out on that day. otherwise I would not want the house. I will not recommend friend and family to bought from Lennar, At least from this sell person name (Joshua) and read the fine print. ... More

The home purchase experience with Lennar was quite effortless and stress-free. It was evident to us that you have competent professionals working hard at every angle to make sure things go smoothly. From pre-qualification, to closing and then afterward, it was actually...pleasant. Definitely, the builder to get our repeat business.

Our experience in buying our new home went south!! Starting with financing department, I thought putting 20% down would allow us to get a conventional loan, with, well it should, but our financial representative didn’t say anything about our loan, we were about to close and he comes up with leaving tax’s and insurance in the payment, which brought up our payment!!! We insisted that with 20% down we would pay our own taxes and insurance!!! Oh my goodness !!!!! I thought I said a bad word!!!! So I told him to rewrite our paperwork without insurance and taxes!!! What a difference!!!! This took about 2 days to rewrite, which we thought it would take about 1 hour especially using a computer!!! And plugging in different numbers for his clients. Finally done!!! His attitude changed with me, no longer friendly, done right not nice!!! He wouldn’t even call me by my name!!!! Unfortunate experience with Lennar Mortgage Second: Our brand new home was infested with RATS due to leaving the molding or foundation outside around the house had 5 holes that were never completed!!! The vent above the air conditioner never had a screen placed so rats had yet another entry into our brand new home!!! Behind the stove the dry wall was never finished!!!! We could see the pipes and gas line exposed so once again another entry for Rats to get in which they did!!! Crawling all over our stove!!! Leaving droppings all over our kitchen, under the sink!!!! How do you cook or eat in this house with infestation of Rats, We found our hallway entrance arch was crocked!!! The dishwasher baseboard was never placed, the base board and screws were left there on the floor as if they forgot to screw it in!!!! How did the McKinney department of buildings sign off to this house!!!’ We are still in the process of meeting with them I’m 70 years old and my husband 80, if those rats bite us we may never get to enjoy our home, we can’t move as quickly as we did 10! years ago, ...

Sales are very good. But 【Lennar Mortgage 】is very unprofessional！You should go to Google Maps and read the reviews, people are not happy with 【lennar Mortgage】！My salesman, Mr. Kristian Chanin, is a young, very polite, energetic, patient, and very professional . We are very happy to have successfully bought our house with him ，I recommend him 100% 。 If you need to buy a new home in this neighborhood, it is best to talk to Mr. Kristian Chanin, you will get what you want, the process will be easy and stress-free, whatever problems you have he will be there to help you with all your problems ! The community is great too! ... More

Horrible quality. I regret everything. They told us SO MANY LIES. I feel like a lawsuit is in our near future.

House quality fell short. Building timeline was continually pushed back because of labor shortages. Over priced home with no input from consumer. Lennar took advantage of inventory shortage and watered down its brand for the sake of a dollar. I real shame.

we bought house in nov 21. we moved in and when raning for the first time we had a major leak. there are countless cosmetic issues including the paint surface not even a couple of very narrow trust bars a garage door that is not sealed and rodent precense inside the house. were also promised the inclusion of W/D which never happened.

The house was delayed 3+ months with no satisfactory explanation. We scheduled closing, all processes started and then Lennar moved closing without notifying me. I learned through my insurance agent who got an email to hold the insurance policy. We didn't have CO until the morning of closing. Final walk through never happened, I signed things online for the sake of closing on this house. The sales team, construction and warranty team were so disconnected, it's unreal. Quality and especially craftsmanship, horrible for Lennar brand name. A handyman would do better and take more pride in their work. I've bought 7 homes, this is my first and last with Lennar. ...

I recently purchased a Lennar home at River place. The overall experience has been smooth. The sales executive, Tammy, has been responding timely. She has a wealth of information on hand, and guided us effectively during the whole process. I have had no issues while raising service request. The overall craftsmanship has been decent.

Everything was great until my close date was pushed back 3 times. I understand building materials have been scarce in the past 2 years so that wasn’t the main issue but the start. When I did the final walk through, the agent who did it was respectful but I believe deceitful as well. The front area of the home did not have power until she said “oh the breaker is off” when she flipped jt on everything worked for about 10 minutes. The electrician was there working on the breaker and even thought it was odd that the laundry breaker kept flipping. I submitted a warranty request where it took almost two weeks to have someone come out. Once that was fixed I submitted a warranty request for my front door (was an issue with the walk through but was told it would be fixed as well). The front door didn’t latch once closed. The wind, the two year old or the pull of one finger could open my front door. To lock it the door had to be held shut and locked (still wouldn’t latch). In the first month of owning this home I have submitted three warranty requests and about to submit a fourth for my bedroom fan/light fixture. My neighbors AC unit went out two days ago and they bought their home a week before me (early December ) . Am I next ? All in all I love the home , the lot but there are definitely some things that should have been done better (large scratches and cracks in my floor that weren’t there the morning of my closing when I left and people had to come in to finish getting the home done). Will I buy another home from Lennar? Most likely not. They have great looking home and people working for them but cutting corners when it’s someone’s home is not acceptable. I’m sure this review may get thrown in the trash or overlooked how all bad or non glorified reviews of companies are but to whoever is reading this, make the right decision and ask the right questions. Thank you ... More

It’s worth buying the home. Mellisa at the office, David in construction were awesome. The speed they guild these at, leaves a very high margin of sloppy work. We have curved walls. Over lapping paint. Uneven trims , hole hiding behind the oven. Bad landscaping ( sprinkler covered with sod) uneven sod. Despite all of this the house good home. It’s well insulated, the floor plan is well thought out . The ac and heater work. Yup it’s beats renting!

Overall everything was easy and very stress free. From customer service to financing to maintenance has been great. The lower stars were simply about materials but overall I am loving my home.

My experience was less than satisfying. At least I made it through the absolute train wreck from start to my 5 hour cluster of a closing experience and thought I could live happily in my home. But, NO!! Lennar didn't schedule a final inspection for the loan and out of the blue nearly 2 months after I close I find out they are threatening legal against me for them not scheduling an inspection??? This is beyond ridiculous!!

Our experience with Lennar builders was bad from start to finish. We were pressured into a walk-thru before the house was completed. This resulted in additional pressure to close before the end of the month and before fixes were complete. We were told during the walk-thru that we would be supplied touch-up paint, which we didn't receive. We have asked several times for specific color names that were used and still have not received. Attention to detail on the finishing of the house was poor, obviously the constrution manager didn't care in shotty craftsmanship. We've had nothing but trouble with all the technology included in the house. We've reached out several times to the custumer care specialist, who refused to return calls or help in any way. Our sales person was relocated to another development, therefore, was not in a position to help with any questions we asked. On the day we closed, which everyone knew was happening, our keys were locked in the sales office with no one working that day to get them. The auto emails have overwelmed my inbox, from Lennar Mortage to the customer care person and there is no way to stop them from coming. We hope the home warrenty process is better than the building process! This was our first experience building a house and unfortunately we had a terrible experience with Lennar!! We would not recommend Lennar to anyone else. ... More

I would not recommend. Workmanship is poor quality, finding more and more issues as we get more settled- poor painting, lots of seal and caulk issues, cabinet colors don’t match, mouse infestation, the list goes on and on. Not all issues are covered which makes it more frustrating. Major issues with hot water, recently fixed after enormous gas bill. Working with Jonathan now on warranty items and he has been great thus far! Lennar should spend a bit more time in the details of the home prior to close and move-in. The walk through is very difficult as they are showing you all of the amenities and doing the walk through at the same time. Sharon was our walkthrough rep and she was good at making excuses for things that were clearly broken and needing a fix- example- gentleman was power washing our pack porch and a flood of water came under the door- I asked if that would be fixed and she attempted to convince me if was normal from water pressure and would not put it in the list for repair. During the 2nd walk through, construction manager- Juan- confirmed it did require weather stripping, after I asked about it. Doing the right thing the first is key in customer service and business especially on a $460K plus purchase! Right now, wouldn’t recommend to a friend and wouldn’t buy again with Lennar. ... More

We called out that there was water accumulation in the back yard that was not dissipating prior to purchase. It was listed as an exception to close. The water did dissipate some but not completely. This is a huge inconvenience as we have dogs and every time they go outside, when they return, the dogs muddy up the floor. During closing and after closing the Lennar Rep did make contact. We turned off the water sprinklers a week after we purchased house and the mud/water has remained, to this day. I will be contacting the rep after the holidays to see about getting this remediated. In addition, the siding/seal for garage door frame is coming apart. Did not even last more than two months. ... More

Homebuying process was rocky but not too bad… I used lennar mortgage. There were constant delays with closing date but overall they got things done. No issues with home so far

Though the process was relatively quick the communication throughout the entire process needs work. I did have a third party inspection on my home and thankfully it was mostly cosmetic issues but there was a lot of sloppy work done on the home and some of it had to be redone prior to closing. The concrete driveway and sidewalks are sub-par and very sloppily done. They did a bad patch job where they chipped the concrete when removing the forms. They left bits of concrete on the sidewalks and curbs and it looks like a very sloppy job. The entire neighborhood looks this way. Also, when I was finally given my keys and went to my home as a homeowner for the first time there was trash and debris in my yard. There were nails, dried mud and debris in my driveway and the approach to my driveway. When I asked the salesman if they were going to clean it up he told me probably not so I had to do it myself to prevent me or my guests from getting nails in our tires. This was completely unacceptable in my opinion. I would recommend any new home buyer to get a third party inspection prior to purchasing your home. Lennar builders put these homes up quickly and do not concentrate on the quality of work only the quantity, in other words get it done as fast as you can no matter what and hopefully no one will notice. ...

The home buying experience was not bad at all. Don Segal worked to ensure my needs and questions were addressed. Just with Lennar caulked the baseboards. It give the house a more finished look.

Since we closed we had major plumbing issues and our dishwasher broke the other day. We have lived here for 1 month. I don’t t trust Lennar workmanship at all after hearing neighbors issues and online reviews on Lennar homes. I have anxiety living in a Lennar home due to poor warranty time frames and craftsmanship on the home. The price was ok I don’t think this home was worth $265,000 but we had to move so we took it. I do love the elementary school and amenities. It’s a beautiful neighborhood I’m just very confused on how small the streets are. It’s made for one vehicle at a time if someone is parked on the street. I don’t trust any issues regardless of warranty being fixed the correct way. I also had a horrible experience with Justin as my loan officer to finance the house. He was not doing his job at all. Justin dropped the ball too many times. I hope they build the second pool near Timber Point Dr. So we can use it. This community is too big for just one pool at the community center. Again, my anxiety is high closing on a NEW Lennar home because of the issues that were a problem prior to closing and now since we closed the issues we have experienced. ... More

No Comment at this time.

The air conditioning does not work properly. Cannot accept it for a brand new home.

A horrible experience. First, communication with everyone from sales to the mortgage team has to improve. There was no proactive communication from any of the representatives, except, obviously when something was needed from us. They changed our closing day three times, each of those times without advance notification. So you can imagine how fun it was to reschedule the movers etc. During our final walk, the Lennar rep. informed us that they couldn’t install the FLO by Moen due to an inventory shortage; hard to believe since all the houses in our street have it… Also, during the final walk, I asked the rep to include the driveway on the report, which he did but clearly said that they would not do anything to make the driveway looks better. He was right, it was not fixed, they did put a resurfacer, but it did not help at all. We decided not to push the issue since we needed a place to live and did not want to delay the closing any further. When we finally moved in, the title company sent the insurance check to a different insurance agency, long story short; we had to pay out of pocket to prevent being uninsured while they fixed their mistake. In summary, horrible customer service, I don’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More
