Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

Promises were made....but not carried out. Fit&finish very poor. Did anyone care? Pretty much no. I would not accept any service people to come in and finish what was promised as I don't feel anything would be any better than now. No faith in your labor.

Had a bad experience with the sales guy. Felt like a military recruiter - made promises that I would get certain things included in the house and on the papers I had to sign, he purposefully left that out. Told me I had nothing in writing which was very sketchy. Talked to some neighbors and at least 4 others had a similar experience. I really did not want to give him the commission on this sale but I had to get the house. The finance team was also a nightmare. More times than I can count I was asked for docs that were supposedly due the next day and they would be sent to me at midnight (or later). My calls and emails were constantly ignore or I would receive an extremely delayed response. Overall, this was a really bad experience especially for it being my first house. There was a couple people on the construction team that made it better when doing walk throughs and such but other than that, I would not deal with the Lennar team again. I was hoping to have a much better first time homebuying experience. ... More

Very poor customer service and difficult to get warranty work done. Lennar lacks ownership of responsibility and transparency. I would never recommend buying a home from Lennar.

Lennar was very pushy to use their mortgage company from the start, making the process super difficult when we decided to use our outside lender. We moved in in early August and different color cabinets were installed in the kitchen, still hasn’t been replaced. There’s rebar sticking straight out of the foundation above the grass. The sod next to our AC unit that we were told was going to be put in was never done. The AC didn’t work correctly for the first two weeks. I had to pay 500 dollars out of pocket to have an electrician come tell me the ground and neutral in my dryer power outlet we’re shorting together because the neutral insulation was sliced. There are holes popping up in our ceiling now throughout the house and inside the holes are rusty nails. Seems like there’s moisture getting onto the nails and it’s making holes in the ceiling. Seems like the cheapest materials were used in the house. The back of the island in the middle of the kitchen isn’t made out of wood, it’s a cheap flimsy almost cardboard material. I leaned against it one day and almost fell through it. Overall not a good experience. ... More

I am not very happy!!!!!!!!!

The home buying process was a nightmare from having a processor who had been only been working for 2 weeks in his position to a lender who had only been working in hers for a month. Closing day I still didn’t know my closing costs, I’ve now been in my home a month. I’ve run into SEVERAL issues from a faulty breaker box, to a improperly installed garage door just to name a few. I’ve put in SEVERAL repair requests and not one of the items have been completed. The communication is horrible, if you need anything repaired be prepared to pay for it out of pocket because you will be completely ignored. I spoke with several neighbors who are all having the same issue with the breaker box and none of ours have been repaired it’s ridiculous! ... More

Unhappy with quality and lies

Prior to purchasing our new Lennar home, I read some reviews on the web. There were more negative reviews than I would have expected. I addressed this with our sales consultant and he simply said that because of the size of Lennar, there would be more negative reviews than with other builders and likewise there would be more positive reviews. We really liked the house and he assured us that they would be here to take care of any issues. We went ahead with the purchase and could not be more pleased with the house and their responsiveness to the few minor issues that we have had. The hoyse was well constructed and came with basically everything that our previous builder was going to charge us 50K for. In my opinion, Lennar offers a well built house that is full of value. When they say “everything’s included” they really mean it. ... More

Alex, Garrick and Jose are amazing. Always helpful. Very very disappointed with sales especially the agent though!

The sals person doesn’t have much experience and irresponsible. The day in last year November when we first came to the sale office is also her first day at this subdivision. Both her iPad and computer didn’t work, she didn’t pay attention to what we said to her which caused misunderstanding late. She insisted us contacting a Lennar financial person at Austin, and late on she told us to switch another person at Houston. I have to register twice. Except an initial few messages, she never contacted us, and she even didn’t response to my messages on time. Furthermore, We didn’t get the full copy of our signed contract until l asked her at the time closing to our closing date. ... More

Me and my friends are great fan of Lennar! But by buying experience was terrible!! I completely understand that pandemic has changed everyone's lives but shouldn't have impacted the buying experience. The sales team was rude, mortgage team was impatient and construction manager was contactless! Just that we need a house to stay close to friends, we have continued with the purchase if not would have quit.

I love my my house, however I will never buy another Lennar homes again due to the worst buying experience I had with Cole at Tavola West in New Cany TX. Don't recommend anyone to buy Lennar homes.

Long story short, I was told several times that an irrigation system would be provided since that was part of what Lennar promised upon the original sales pitch. Multiple people assured me this would be ok and they would take care of it. Then 3 weeks before closing I’m told I wouldn’t be getting it….. If you don’t like it you can get a refund and go elsewhere. Horrible customer service. How can you trust a company that doesn’t make good on their promises? I even wrote my frustrations to the Lennar corp office. Didn’t even get a response. Im very disappointed with the integrity of LENNAR’s personnel. ... More

Lennar seems to only care about them selves and I almost lost my money due to the some lady named Silvia screaming and catching an attitude with me and my bank when lennar made the mistake. Horrible experience

I tried to change my closing date because my bank CD was maturing three weeks after the tentative closing date. I have purchased 3 Lennar houses before and never had any closing date issues and after purchasing this house it was an investment of almost $1000000.00 on Lennar houses. The answer I received from upper management was discourteous: “We DON'T move dates!” you should not talk to your loyal customers in this tone (extremely unprofessional).

Lennar made first time home buying a miserable experience. Poor communication from every aspect possible. Very unprofessional. We will never buy another house with Lennar again.

My family’s experience with Lennar was appalling start to finish. We will never be using them again.

Beware of continued delays and closing issues. Make sure to double and triple check all fine details before and ON closing final walk-throughs. Non-chalant attitude and attitude of ingratitude.

From the very start I had issues with the loan officer not being proactive and responding to messages in a timely manner. The day of closing my name was not spelled correctly in the title/documents. I have been in the home and there is something going on with the plumbing where the toilet does not flush properly. There were also missed parts that were not painted by the time I closed on home. I unfortunately noticed a discrepancy in the fence but since I closed on the home lennar is no longer responsible. I would NOT recommend lennar the homes are built very fast and the little details are missed we had to close remotely they did not want to work with us going in person to sign our documentation if we had any questions. Closing on the home was not a good day we were very stressed out calling everyone to fix my name on documents and then was being told if I did not close that day I would have to pay a fee (even though it was THEIR mistake) ...

Our sales agent lied about mortgage rate multiple times and then lied she never stated she had given us such a quote. I, the presence of my real estate agent, had repeated the quote several times back to her prior to shaking hands on the deal. She even had called a supervisor regarding our offer in front of us. She then stated it had been approved. When we had the contract a few hours later we were shocked to find the rate a point higher. When we called the mortgage agent she clarified it was to we 0.76 point higher, but still not the rate of 4.99%. No one could explain the reason for the change and we have excellent credit. Mortgage company was disorganized. Our mortgage agent and the underwriter agent efforts were redundant. Caused us nightmares with multiple requests for the same information. The names of documents and who might be able to supply them were confusing. We had to setup the two agents on a teleconference to clarify the multiple requests for the same documents. Additionally, we setup a teleconference between Fidelity and the underwriter’s agent to finally clarify that we had sent the correct documents. The underwriter kept asking for documents piecemeal over 11 week period to close. Closing was delayed because of it. We drove 50 miles to closing on the assigned date only to find out that financing was still up in the air despite being told that we were essentially approved. The mortgage agent told us it was still being processed and told us to leave the mortgage office immediately. Since we had come from Florida to complete the buying process this business added two extra days and plenty of stress to what should have been a happy process. We were just short of walking away from the deal, but we were coming back our hometown for my husband’s health. In discussions with other folks like our builder and our bank teller who helped with the cashier’s check.they both described terrible experiences with the mortgage division. Always thought Lennar made a quality home, do not think we will buy another home with them. Sorry, but we likely will advise friends and associates the same. ... More

Terrible experience. I wouldn't and wont do it again.

The sales associates filled out our contracts incorrectly with simple mistakes and would not correct them when they were pointed out. Example incorrect contact information. They along with the mortgage team gave us understated estimates due to interest rates that did not match the offered interest rates. This was also not corrected when it was pointed out. The Lennar employees across multiple departments did not pay attention to the details and made sloppy mistakes that made the home buying experience difficult and frustrating. Once upper level management got involved to correct the mistakes things went smoothly. ... More

The only good thing about this experience is Josh when i first bought the house. The lending process and about of defects in walkthrough, make me never want to recommend this company

The buying experience was terrible and the house has already had to get the air conditioner unit replaced. The air is CONSTANTLY messing up. The tile in the shower looks like it’s been done by someone who didn’t know what they were doing. Never again.

Horrible experience Lies on many things
