Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

The builder could’ve done better with materials used to build the homes. Lennar at Woodcreek has slabs on the back of their homes but the Chamberlin community across the bridge does not even though the prices of the home were exactly the same. Lennar, build the street like $200k homes instead of $330k homes. If you look at other builders in the community, they’ve put in effort in providing the best stones and bricks. Lennar doesn’t care as long as they get their money. I’m disgusted and will be selling soon. Won’t be dealing with Lennar again. Unless they fix their mistake . 1 star Customer service is good when it comes to responding to issues in the home. I give them 5 stars. Underwriting was horrible. I should’ve walked away instead of sticking with them. -5 stars Watch out for the 2.8 % tax in the Fate, TX area. That’s about $600 added to your mortgage . 1 star ... More

Not the most pleasant homebuying experience since this was my first home. Lennar needs to strongly improve their customer service, hire quality contractors to repair the home correctly the first time, and become more transparent with the homeowner about buying a house through Lennar.

I had the worst time buying my 1st home. where I knew it would be stressful but not so horrible.. I lost sleep and many of tears was shed throughout the whole process. My loan part, my loan officer wouldn’t keep me updated on anything that was going on I would email every few days to find out what was going on. If I needed to do anything. Keep in mind this is my 1st home so I have no clue what to expect or what to do. I sent an email asking if my loan got approved or what so I would know what to do next. And the response I got back was…. It was just a holiday so we are just getting back in office. Like who says that. Im just getting back in office too but all my paperwork is done and the paperwork for the next week will be done as it comes in. So I get it’s a delay but for him to just say that. I was really disappointed and disgusted if I didn’t put my $2500 down I would’ve just went somewhere else. I was contemplating about just losing the down payment too that’s how mad and upset I was with them. ... More

The bottom line is that if other buyers had been offering homes similar to the Next-Gen model that Lennar was constructing, I would have easily chosen a competitor. My experience with loan officer Jodie was disappointing; she lacked a customer-friendly approach and often communicated with an unhelpful attitude. As a first-time homebuyer, I needed guidance, but she failed to take the time to explain the necessary documents. My realtor had to repeatedly reach out to her for clarification on my behalf, which made me feel like an inconvenience. Instead of addressing my concerns, Jodie simply canceled my loan with Lennar, despite my full qualification, prompting me to seek financing from an outside lender, where I had a significantly better experience. On a positive note, Rebecca stood out as a refreshing contrast within Lennar; her professionalism and exceptional customer service were commendable. If Lennar had more employees like her, customer experiences would undoubtedly improve. As it stands, I will never consider purchasing another home from Lennar. ... More

Whole home buying experience was not good still waiting on supervisor to call me back.

We had our closing March 10. We drove from Colorado to Texas into a winter vortex with 2 labradors, 2 cats, two cars and a trailer. Got stranded in the blizzard. Our trailer got stuck at a hotel with no rooms. So we slept in the car freezing all night till we could get towed in the morning. We get to Frisco Tx on March 9 stay in a hotel. (Remember we have to get 2 cats and two dogs (one’s a tripod) in the hotels for the past few nights driving. Always have to take an elevator.) Now Lennar only does virtual closing and we have to be out of hotel by 11am. They want the closing at 10am. 10am they could not get their end to work… over an hour trying and now we have to be out of hotel. Now we have to try to find Wifi somewhere to finish the closing. As we leave one of our cats escapes. We try forever to get her back but finally do. McDonald’s and Starbucks nearby have no space for the trailer to park. So we have to keep driving around till we found a place with WiFi and a spot to park trailer. In this city that was a nightmare to find. But we finally find a place get and start to close on the house. During the closing she did say March 11 was marked in some areas. I said it has March 10 then for some reason they changed to March 11 but talked to (won’t mention her name here) and said we needed it back to March 10, so they changed it back. And it was changed since we were online with someone for closing on the 10th with an appointment for the 10th!!! So she changed the few areas that still said 11th. We paid cash for the house. We were set; so we headed to the office to get our keys. We are tired, stressed and just ready for this nightmare to end and get into our home. At the office we are told we can’t get our keys…try again tomorrow. What?? You have our money..we just closed …they said at closing we can go pick up our keys….why?? They say….You are scheduled for the 11th to receive your keys. Come back tomorrow. Just thinking of going through another hotel stay with our pets..almost losing one, carrying the tripod Labrador into the hotel again. I lost it. I was calling everyone. We were out in the car for 5 hours with our two cats and two labs in the heat in front of the office begging for our keys!! We had closing papers, confirmation they had our money..house completely paid for and we could not get our keys!!! Finally after all day waiting in our car in front of the office..sweating..dogs panting …we got our keys. What an awful company to buy from!! We were warned not to buy from Lennar but did not listen. Lesson learned. Listen to your friends and family when they say something is bad!! ... More

My experience from start to end was worst. Lost of lying from different Lennar Reps in terms of what they are telling verbally and cheating with signed doc. Hiding lot of details from customer up front. I made sure to convey my experience with my community who are heavy in investment in real estate to beware from scamming Lennar with all proofs I had. Thank you, Vimlesh

My home buying process was a roller coaster, to say the least. It started with a classic bait-and-switch tactic regarding the deal, followed by misleading information about loan qualifications. To get me interested, I was told that I qualified for a USDA loan based on my circumstances. However, after I submitted my earnest money—which is supposed to be refundable—I was suddenly informed that I didn’t meet the qualifications after all. This was particularly frustrating because my agreement to move forward was contingent on using that specific loan. Despite that, they refused to refund my earnest money. To make matters worse, the loan officer was incredibly unprofessional. He changed the financing type without informing me—on three separate occasions—and continued to send Docusign documents without explanation. When I asked for clarity and requested to be notified before documents were sent, I was brushed off. Needless to say, if I ever had to work with Trent or Chaz again to purchase a Lennar property, I would absolutely take my business elsewhere. ... More

I’ve owned several homes and understand the process of buying and selling real estate. From the sales process to final close, it was bumpy and riddled with issues primarily around communication and a lack of clarity in details. Additional issues surfaced in general knowledge related to titling the home as I wanted. The initial response brushed it off then later was casted as a “I’ve never seen it done like that in 20 years” approach. I finally got it resolved as I initially wanted by pushing the issue further. The mortgage process was poor and lacked understanding and direction. The process attempted to mechanize something that ignored nuances of individual circumstances. Build quality of the home is ok. Although the details matter such as paint quality (chips real easy when doing a basic wipe down), picture windows in common spaces, inconvenient placement of light switches, and sloppy caulking and paint in various spots. Also, nearly all the door knobs came loose. Minor things to fix but Lennar is strict about their warranty and not doing work that will jeopardize that set up. I’m satisfied and neutral on the quality. But ask me in a year after I’ve had time to live in the home. Our family will stay in the home and make it our own. But I will never buy a Lennar new build again after my experience. ... More

The representatives at the Lennar office for Eastland Crandall showed little effort in assisting, and their response time to emails and texts was disappointing. Also, discrepancy between the website listing and actual appliances.

I had lot of issues to close my recent home with Lennar. They didn't include my realtor name in my closing. I called customer service for some issues, but the response was very rude.

Words can no longer describe what we’ve been through with Lennar. Home & Materials - scary cheap Communication - nonexistent Proactivity - only when you remind them Price - reasonable Thank goodness for Billy the construction manager, he’s been a blessing.

The entire process using the internet and “portal” was a nightmare for this Baby Boomer! Everyone I encountered assumed I knew how to navigate, upload, download, scan, import to a file - and I still don’t! AND - I didn’t have a computer or the internet, so this experience left me with a bad impression of Lennar. I was treated like an absolute moron because I didn’t understand how to present documents or find one to sign!!!! And when I did ask for help, many people were impatient with my lack of understanding the technical lingo. Very unpleasant experience

My home buying process (1st time) was traumatizing. I was so excited at first but Ronnie was a huge bully and Jody was very condescending. Everything was rushed I had no time to think or weigh my options on anything . Ronnie made the experience the worse she was so rude and pushy. Jody would try to be helpful at times but her delivery and tone always seemed ask if I was bothering her. I wanted to back out so bad the only person I had a positive experience with was Taylor. When we did our walk thru she was nice informative and willing to help

Buying a home should be a time for celebration of a great achievement, instead, with Lennar Homes, this was a frustrating and disheartening experience. I paid cash so this should have been a seamless experience. However, with the exceptionally poor communication with all Lennar employees I worked with, the closing nearly didn't happen. Lennar staff refused to give me the keys to my home hours after funds had been wired, because I would not fraudulently sign paperwork of things they had not done. I understand that Lennar is a lower cost builder, but that shouldn't mean you get discounted and poor customer care. ... More

This is probably the last home I will purchase with Lennar. The entire experience was extremely frustrating, once the initial agreement was done with Lennar, I had a terrible time getting any response from the sales team or the finance team. They had six to seven weeks to close the loan that was done through Lennar finance, however I got CD an hour before the actual closing was scheduled. No response to any question whatsoever, they just refused to answer emails and phone calls. My agent and I escalated as well, the management is also just about as irresponsible and irresponsible. I am glad that harrowing buying experience is behind me. ... More

I don’t feel it’s worth what I paid, after moving in.

Couldn’t even get my correct name on the title.

Multiple issues upon moving including massive unfinished hole in pantry wall in which ants swarmed the kitchen less than a week upon moving in. Leaks in sinks. Problems with scheduling people to come out for repairs. The people that have come for repairs have been polite and overall helpful, however, in a new home these issues are disappointing. These are on top of the lack of communication from sellers and mortgage and issues that my realtor has never seen. And losing home insurance because Lennar never paid the first prior to selling installment.

Unfortunately, we had the worst service and now can’t get anyone to help communication by sales rep and managers was awful I am waiting still til today for Greg to call me who is hire up in sales it’s been death ear on top some one after paying homeowners insurance hippo cancelled insurance due to Lennar agent requested it very bad service all the way around had to live out of hotel with kids lost 2,500 was told I would get reimbursed and never did guy sold me a home he wanted and we had no choice than to loss more money

Poor customer service by sales agents .very rude and unprofessional responses.

Lennar does not respond to request after they have received your down payment. The worst company to work with in my opinion. Please do not go through Lennar if you can avoid it.

If I could give a 0 I would. I have barely been in my home a month and the paint is already chipping on this cheap siding y’all used. Some of the door knobs are loose. I called to get help with the thermostat you wanted to do a virtual call and couldn’t help with something so simple. I referred 2 friends which I’m sorry I did because y’all gave and is still giving 1 a bad experience. My sales person the one who sold me the house asked me who was my sales person when I went in the office to tell them that the fridge they promised me was not in my home. I was in total disbelief I said YOU ma’am. My house had so many things that needed to be done I couldn’t believe because of it being a new house. I was like did they think they were building it for a baby doll or dog. The shingles weren’t properly put on. I will not recommend anyone else to purchase a home with you all again. ... More

Worst sales team experience i have ever had.

The customer service was terrible. We didn’t know what was going on from day to day. Representative didn’t want to answer phones
