Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

We had a very bad experience with our sales agent. No transparency. He was just trying to misfeed the information and push us through closing. We had to push the closing three time just because the home was not ready. Our sales agent thought it was ready for him to close all the three times. I had to fight to push the closing. All I was requesting was to give me a home that's complete by the time we close. It was very stressful to deal with our sales agent since the signing of the contract. He made our first home buying experience a nightmare. Our Lennar loan officer was really good. We feel like the workmanship and quality of the materials used is low for the price we paid. The quality of the interior doors is very poor. Cabinets are good. The kitchen sink in all the floor plans is small. I had to remove of shower drain cap to clean construction insulation foam. The time for addressing the pending items is very long. It has been more than 2 months since we closed and our pending items are still not addressed. ... More

The home was cheaply built

Lennar advertise that you get a smart home. Well the only smart technology I have is what I had to buy myself. House came with no door bell, no garage door opener, no peep hole in the door, very cheap appliances. You will also need to buy shower rods are have shower door installed at your expense. If you want the sprinkler system to be a smart device you will have to purchase the wireless device yourself as well. Even though they advertise there homes are smart homes that is not true. To me don't advertise something if it's not true

Quality and responses not as good as expected

First off the buying process step by step was good. As far as the quality material of the homes wasn’t great. A lot of the items can be damaged and If carefully found during walk through it will not be covered under warranty after closing. Tree’s that was planted were not deep enough and was knocked down on a windy day also not covered warranty after closing as well. We had to dig the hole deeper and re planted ourselves. It feels like the home was built/installed in a rush.

The building material is cheap, the appliance are cheap, the yards is nice and big size.

The quality of homes is really bad. You’ll have a hard time to get the issues fixed within the warranty period as well.

A lot of issues have arisen since home has been purchased. It has been a month & conveniently it seems harder to get issues resolved once house has been purchased.

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

I moved in for almost 2 months and still waiting to finish up some work. Don't know if they will do it.

I passed on the first request to do a survey. I am tired of waiting for the drain to be put in. I am the one hounding your person because she does not get back in a timely manner. I NEED TERRI TO GET THE JOB DONE. ITS BEEN MONTHS. I AM TIRED OF EXCUSES.

The home buying process was some what easy. But the home was poorly put together. The caulking throughout the home was poorly done. The weather stripping around the doors is spotty. I've had problems with the breaker box, dishwasher, and outlets, and no utility closet. Jusr 3 bedrooms, 2 barhs. I have no doorbell, no shower door, and no towel bars. The worst part is that my neighborhood is accepting Section 8. Which is something I heard that Lennar approves of. I never would have purchased a home through Lennar if I had this information upfront. Lessons have been learned. Do your research when taking on home ownership. ... More

Problems with drains, electrical, trim, water. All of these could have been fixed prior to moving in.

Honestly don’t know where to begin.. quick answer is that Lennar fits the exact definition of Quantity over quality. Don’t have the effort to repeat myself again on all the issues. Not to say there was not positive experiences during the process, however the negative over shadowed it. The most frustrating part is they were issues that could have been very easily corrected.

Everything we were promised didn’t happen

Walk thru was fast and not complete. Many exceptions to close. I was given the wrong key when I closed. People were working on my home after I CLOSED without permission from me. My garage just got fixed 3 plus months later. The light switch to my laundry room is behind the door. With all that being said, I know nothing is perfect. I recommend a very thorough walk thru.

This home was not built for me. I ended up buying this house but shared the issues with the home. The simplest issues where fixed partially. They caulked and painted the split door frame. When they painted they closed the doors so when I opened them the paint came off the doors. The cleaning crew was horrible. There are paint specs all over the quartz. The bathrooms and shelves are covered with paint and saw dust. The joint compound for the drywall on my ceiling has bubbled up. These are the things they need to fix and haven’t. Construction manager office is in front of me and when he sees me he drives away. ... More

I had a pleasant experience with my construction manager and my warranty tech that met me on site and explained everything to me. They both wonderful and only because of them, would I rate this super high. The absolute worst part of this experience was my Lennar Sales Rep. Martha didn't really explain anything I had asked her to. She just gave me the basic information and showed me the house. Thankfully, when I went to a different Lennar Sales Rep (Princeton Lennar was amazing!) the week before that explained everything very well and took care of me. I just wasn't approved for the house with them, so they referred me to the Crandall area. Back to the Crandall Lennar Sales Rep. The Rep avoided many questions both me and my real estate agent would ask. I had texted her a few times to get answers to some basic questions, then she would just call me instead while I was occupied elsewhere. The calls weren't super helpful, I had an issue where my home keys didn't have the tag of where my mailbox was, and my sales rep called me just to complain and mention "oh you should have the tag in there that tells you where your mailbox is" after multiple times I told her, nothing was in the envelope. I informed her I still had the envelope and all it's contents still in there, but she called me 3x times to tell me "it should be in there". All 3x I answered her call, that's all she would say and never actually got me an answer. I ended up walking around the neighborhood for about 2 hours trying every mailbox I could. Just an overall terrible experience with the sales rep. But everyone else was amazing! Construction manager was fantastic and super receptive. He personally showed up on my key day and verified they fixed the counter top for me. Warranty tech was well spoken and super knowledgeable. I am pretty sure I may have asked him some silly questions and he was professional about it! ... More

The process of buying the home was a mess.

The house itself is great but the buying experience was difficult. There was a 1 month delay in closing and when I requested to change lenders (more than 1 month before the new close date) I was denied and told I would lose the house if I changed lenders. This made the process more difficult because Lennar Mortgage was the absolute worst part of my buying experience.

We had a very long drawn out purchasing experience through the loan application, both the FHA and Lennar’s conventional loan people. They were very impatient when they wanted information but otherwise slow in keeping us informed as to what was happening. They asked for information that was none of their business and eventually told me that if I did not give them the information that the loan would not be approved. This process took weeks. I went to a bank and got an approval with 4 days. After move in, I (a former builder) found that there were house framing studs missing in places where it was apparently inconvenient. ... More

There is much to say about the home buyer process that I have learned and thanks to Lennar, that was possible, but not in the way you may think. Firstly, Lennar prices and financing sell their houses, not their warranty, not the customer services, not their knowledge, nor the company itself really. Since Lennar Mortgage, Builders, and Title are all "separate" companies, this allows them to give you the run around and waste time on inquiries and questions you may have. Or if something is wrong in a document, they will say its the other company when truly it's one company masquerading as 3 separate ones. They do this so that they can charge you whatever they want. In my case, the Lennar sales rep, his name was Trent M, told me my house is $3,000 less than the displayed price and told me I would get a fridge as well. Well surprise surprise, I didn't get a fridge and they would add that amount to my incentives at closing. Well the "other company", the builders add whatever building and other fees and what not to make up for that. So my building fee was over $3,000 and that is NOT suppose to be that high(after speaking to many people about this). So I didn't get a fridge for free nor did I save $3,000 on my house. These are lies and tactics given by Lennar Sales reps to get you to buy the house. Also, when scheduling my orientation for the house, I let the coordinator know 3 times to schedule my orientation in the afternoon since I work and it's easier to get off work in the afternoon, but even after telling Patrick M that twice, he still made it at 9 am. So clearly Lennar employees either don't listen, or they are so incompetent that they can't schedule something in the leisure time of the buyer. Not only this, but I inquired where my mailbox was since the keys did NOT have a mailbox tag and no one could tell me. My mortgage for the first month was almost late because Lennar employees and the people that sold that house, nor the builders have any idea which mailbox is yours. It was a stressful fiasco dealing with the 4 people I did to find out where is was. Only person I can say helped me the most was Alan A, who is the concercerge for Lennar. He was very helpful, actually knew information, and made attempts to help me. The house itself, so far, is great. Nothing has went wrong and the materials are solid. I am happy with that aspect of my purchase, just not how I got here. Overall, NOT happy with the buying process of Lennar, but realistically, all these building companies are money hungry blood suckers so I expect them all to have the same tactics, Lennar just had a slightly better price. Lennar, if you see this, I want a check for $3,000 back, you know where I live. ... More

My sales person was Brian, all around just rude! If it wasn’t for the price of the homes, I would have not bought from him. Rush construction manager fixed my issue very fast, he didn’t however power wash the concrete like promised, pretty muddy on my street. All in all, I think the experience could have been better

Everything was great except the sales rep Bryan. He doesn't return calls very unprofessional. He was the only downside of the process. He was not there when I closed they had to call someone else to give me my keys which took an hour. It is once he received my deposit he turns cold. Even when I first applied he didn't return calls to follow up. Thankful for the loan officer and others but the sales staff should be replaced. I would not recommend anyone to purchase based on his professionalism but everything was great

My first contact with Lennar was not good. I was supposed to meet a representative at a model house, I arrived ands she was not there. I tried to contact her and she said she was sending someone to meet me. I left since she was deceptive about the whole thing. If it were not for the Real Estate agent I used, I would not have bought a house from them. Their customer service is worse than the DMV. IF you email a question, they do not respond. You have to blast email them and everyone else involved in the process to get a response. The house is not badly constructed, they will use the cheapest materials they have at hand, but at least the construction is sound. I have had one service request after the purchasing of the home and they responded in a fair time frame to resolve it. The purchasing of the house was the biggest disappointment, but the home itself is very decent. ... More
