Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

It started with a walk-through well before the house was ready, and multiple things not finished. I felt like the closing date was forced in order to get the sale in May. Still working on things that should have been done before the close. Even after multiple visits from the landscaper, yard is still in terrible condition.

This company is the most unprofessional company I’ve ever dealt with. I never spoke to a real person the whole process, and every time I had a question it would never get answered. Also, when I purchased the house, the house was robbed, and I was told that this was the first time it ever happened in this area but the funny thing is I spoke to people who also bought a house in the area three months ago and they told me that this happened to five different homes. There is no transparency with this builder. Also recently I got contacted by the builder saying that the roofing company needs to do an inspection after two months of purchasing the home this is ridiculous and they need to get their stuff together! ...

Have bad experiences with Lennar’s title and sale agent. They tried to tell us wire the money before the closing date which is understandable. However, the final walk through date is AFTER the closing date. I voiced the concern without any answer. On Lennar track, they are no where ready for closing. No seller commitment document, no survey document uploaded or provided. I bought 3 homes with them and this will be the last one

I have been in this building for a month and we have an electrical issues with the breaker since the beginning of the closing. They have already changed the breakers 2 times and it has not solved the issue there is still a problem. It hasn't been a month, we have a leak in the sprinkle system which caused us to have a large amount in the water bill. We also just had a problem in the floor lamination. This really frustrates me to the point where I have to fill up a different warranty claim for a different problem every single week.

Do not buy with Lennar. The title team and construction manager is unorganized, push your issues to the side and never acknowledge or resolve issues.

They cut corners on everything. Material, especially doors are incredibly cheap. The new house even looks like it's been lived in by other people for months. It's was dirty with lots of scratches when we took possession. We have all the photographs for evidence. The salespeople were tricky, sneaky, unwilling to help, and don't return calls most of the time. About the only tiny bright spot are the warranty/Lennar Care people who help address issues with the house. And there were tons of issues, probably more than 2 dozens. Will try to avoid Lennar in the future at all costs.

My sales associate was not very knowledgeable abt the questions I had and he was easily offended. The lender scrutinized our accounts and disqualified the money we had to bring to closing. The house's workmanship and materials seems well built but lacking some very important features that leave a big impression like no sprinkler system, no garage door opener, no covered back porch, no fans in any room, dining area too small for a dining table, living room too narrow, and grass is dying. Our plan is to sell as soon as possible and get into something better suited for our family.

Home buying process felt rushed, our realtor also stated we would receive 2 ceiling fans which were never given. Was told we needed to sign a contract that very same day or else the interest rate and pricing of the home would increase the following day. We asked our agent to go through the contract with us prior to signing and he refused due to him being busy. We ended up having to visit the model home to have another agent explain the contract to us. We believed this was very unprofessional. The loan process required too many personal documents and there were too many contacts to keep updated. We had to re-upload many forms/paperwork into the portal and were quoted 24/48 hour deadlines with the threat of our loan not being approved. We were also not told that our closing day was done in person as we were initially told it was remote. Did not receive the address of the location of closing until 2-4 hours before the building closed. We love our home but the process of buying from Lennar was overly dreadful. ... More

My experience was horrible since we felt were forced to sign on a house that wasnt to our liking. I had a better experience with KB homes then Lennar. I expected more from Lennar since theyre "BETTER" then KB homes but my experience with KB was excellent compared to Lennar. My home feels like it was slapped together just for us to sign and move in.

When we first bought our home in May of 2019, we were told we did not need flood insurance because the area wasn’t a flood zone area, fast forward to Sep 2019 with tropical storm imelda, we were under water! So many of our neighbors lost their homes, we had to be rescued because water was rising, my brand new 2019 vehicle got flooded 2 weeks after buying it, just such an emotional event to go through, and the saddest part is all my neighbors were told the same thing about flood insurance. The materials of the house weren’t all that, our plants died a week after we moved in, our grass too, the foundation of the backyard is all messed up and bumpy, I feel like we didn’t get our money’s worth. ...

I personally didn’t have a good experience at all when purchasing my home. My loan officer was fired days before my original closing date. Supposedly she didn’t upload any of my documents to my folder and I basically had to start from scratch with a new loan officer. This process pushed me back another 3 months. This was very inconvenient to my life because I had to make adjustments and spend a lot of unnecessary money in order for my family to be good while we wait on our home. No extra incentive for their former employees mistakes, no one reaching out to check in or being responsive when I reached out. I literally have messages/emails in my phone that were never responded to till this day. I heard great things about Lennar previous to this experience but I have not one Great thing to say about Lennar and my experience with them. I would of backed out and went a different route if I could go back in time but I was giving the benefit of the doubt to a company that constantly gave me the run around. ... More

Where should I start.. From start to finish it has been a NIGHTMARE…BTW Lennar Mortgage is the WORST EVER !!! #NeverAgain. #Run

It was very poor and difficult to get answers until the deadline, I felt like I was bothering them when I didn’t understand something.

Cheap homes poor craftsmanship, horrible experience.

When I visited the office as expected the quality and service I had before from Lennar. After a very long purchase process, I finally got the house. Since it is a new home, I expected not to have issues. I reported 4 of them and only one has been taken care of. Very sad.

I cannot stress this enough: stay as far away from Lennar as possible. My experience with them has been an absolute nightmare. From the very beginning, they were unprofessional and unreliable. Deadlines were consistently missed, communication was terrible, and the quality of the work was horrendous. The house they built for me is riddled with issues—poor craftsmanship, cheap materials, and countless problems that should have been caught during construction. It's clear that they cut corners wherever they could, and now I'm left with a house that needs constant repairs. The customer service is non-existent. Every time I tried to raise concerns, I was met with excuses, delays, or outright ignored. It's clear that once they have your money, they couldn't care less about the quality of their work or your satisfaction. If you're thinking about building a home, do yourself a favor and avoid Lennar at all costs. You'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and headaches by going with a more reputable builder. ... More

My 2nd Lennar home. What a huge (bad) difference in build quality and materials compared to first home. No gutters. No sprinkler system. Side boards are very soft, dry wall very soft. Paint is very bright white. Counter top is nice but very cheap because it stains quickly. Bathroom faucets are the cheapest on the market, same goes for the sink. Had electrical issue first week, service request put me on a viral call (the construction manager assisted with the issue, it was a wiring issue). Had a mouse get in the garage the first week because they left a open space under the water heater. Several insects are in the bathroom every morning (clearly something is not fully closed off...). Chalk used in bathroom is the cheapest, it's already turning color. Floor gets stained easily and stains don't come out...I could go and on about the cheap built of the house... ... More

Was a horrible experience, no communication whatsoever at any moment and builder was horrible

The whole buying experience was horrible. Once I moved in I found so many issues with the house. The AC drain line was not connected so there was water damaged and the dryer vent pipe was not put it. They had to cut the walls and fix the water damage and it took a month to fix.

The experience was not really good did not keep us updated with the home, and closing was a mess.

If I could give no stars I would. From the second we filled out an application, the rest of the process went lower than rock bottom. We spoke to our finance person (Mary Jo) ONE time and that was after calling/emailing numerous times. I finally reached out to Ali (man in the model home) letting him know that we have been trying to get ahold of her with no call back. This happened several times as we did have questions along the way because Mary Jo NEVER updated us on ANYTHING. The one time she did talk to us she rushed us off the phone stating she was very busy. Ma'am we are all busy, so you saying my 6 figure house application to help your company doesnt matter? yea, ok. We really wanted this house and thats the only reason we proceeded. Ali was well aware of our frustrations through out the entire process. Finally our house was done being built and our FISRT walkthrough came up which went well. Of course, SOOOOO MANY missed things on the painters part, flooring, and cabinetry. There were several places that were not painted...at all..did not even have texture on them. Pieces of vinyl flooring did not touch each other leaving concrete underneath exposed. When we asked about it to the construction manager, Bart, he said there is nothing they can do about it. The cabinetry had several and noticeable scuffs and scratches on them. They said the painters can touch them up. about a month prior to the tentative closing date they gave we tried and tried to see about when closing would be and no one ever reached out to us. We spoke to Ali and he stated it would be a virtual closing. (made sense because our previous home was closed virtually) A week before our closing date they call us asking us if we could COME IN the next day to close. They said they dont know why they said would tell us we would close virtually. We asked for another day and they said they is the only time we can close. So now they inconvenienced us because we cannot just take off on our schedules like that without notice. We gave them a time and they said to come in and they will try to work us in. At this point, we were beyond frustrated and just wanted it to be over. We went in and never saw Mary Jo (who they said we would close with). Once we closed we went to the house to find about half of the touch ups completed. No touch ups were done on the cabinets and the paint jobs were sloppy (had drips on flooring and some spots were not painted at all). Of course we couldnt do a "Final walk through" before closing because they stated they are working on the mistakes found and no one knew when we would close. Also, Please check your fencing. They use a nail gun and on week 1 of being in the house the fence boards were coming off. We went and had to put screws in every one of them. My advice would be to use Lennar as last resort. I know these houses are thrown together over night and use different contractors for different tasks but if they would all just take their time and take pride in their work and not have someone always have to come behind them to correct their poor workmanship then they might actually have received a better review. Overall it was a horrible experience for us. Please use this review to know what to look out for so you can have a better process than us. Again, we had no choice. ... More

Workmanship could be so much better. I’ve been going through warranty for so many things when it should of been done correctly the first time.

At first it was good but after you sign and put money down, takes sales 2-3 days to call back even my realtor could not get a hold of him. The on line paperwork is a joke. The first walk thru was horrible water leaking in the wall and Lennar was just going to leave water in the wall and underneath the flooring. Paint not finished. Just got it fixed on the day of closing. Let’s talk about Lennar contractors damaged my A/C unit outside and when you send a service request in it’s poor response. Front door sagging. Closet door damaged kitchen cabinets coming apart over all just a bad experience . Will not buy a Lennar house again or will I recommend anyone else. I have learned in business that for every one bad it takes multiple goods to forget the bad , that is something Lennar needs to learn, because what Lennar advertised is not what happened ... More

The flooring in my house was a complete catastrophic failure. Everything else was done well. The build suffered a great deal from having the flooring installed so terribly. There’s nothing that can be done to fix the issue other than rip it all out and put new flooring in correctly. It’s pretty sad. Now I have to have someone come rip it all out and do it correctly.

Communication via lender was scares - little to none The day of closing didn’t know if I was going to close or not due to lack of communication finally 2 hours after my set closing time I got a call and they told me that they were working on it and they would let me know by 5 , 5 rolled around and still nothing. The builders pushed my closing date from , 2/28 to 2/25 at the very beginning of the loan process no big deal but they didn’t communicate that with the lender so the lender thought they had more time to work my file. No only was the house not ready to close, there where things not done on the house. Both my initial and final walk where a joke as things needed to be done and on closing day when I was handed my keys i had no sod ground was not grated before sod was thrown the day after closing so the ground is uneven and feels like quicksand even to this day a month after closing (the CSR added a drain pipe to help with the water flow in the grass but we still have the unevenness and still is like quick sand , behind the back fence just drops down so when you water the dirt just washes away and we have holes under the fence line) no cabinet doors and damaged drawer (they grabbed a cracked/damaged cabinet and drawer from a different house and installed it in mine) , a giant hole in the wall in the hallway wall where a lite switch was suppose to go, so no hallway light, foundation on the side of the house was cracked and honeycombed did not look very nice on the eyes. They peanut buttered cracks in the siding when it was broke off thinking we would be okay with the look of it Just overall construction was poorly handled and done. The biggest excuse I head was DUE TO COVID. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone I know. ... More
