Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

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

The experience we shared with Nancy was unprofessional and could have been handled better. It was not a great experience and would not recommend Lennar to family or friends

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.

My wife and I met with the sales rep, Amanda and go preapproved shortly after applying for a Lennar Home Loan. From there, we submitted the required documentation requested by the Mortgage Loan Officer, Christian. We submitted all documentation within the requested time frame and sent the earnest money almost immediately. When our close approached, everything fell apart. We had our inspection a week prior to our close date. We got in touch with John regarding what we would like to be done prior to close. This included the cracked driveway being broken up and re-poured. Upon my wife discussing with John whether we wanted it to be done, he tried to convince us not to do it. He mentioned that our close could be pushed back if we move forward with fixing the driveway and he “wouldn’t want that for us”. After my wife explained to him that we won’t be purchasing a home with a cracked driveway, he moved forward with having the driveway done. Another item we insisted on having replaced was a window upstairs. It wasn’t level when it was shut which could lead to water damage. A week had gone by and the day before close, John called us stating “the power has been shut off, you must have switched the power to your name too early. If we don’t get it back on, the city won’t be able to sign off on the COO. We’re probably going to have to push your close back. Please call them and verify whether they switched the power”. My wife called our power supplier twice to verify it had not been switched to our name – she spoke to two different representatives, and both said the same thing. We called John back to let him know the issue was not on our end. He then proceeded to say power companies lie at times and he’s sure it was switched. We called the distribution service provider, Texas-New Mexico Power and they explained that Lennar had not paid the bill for the month, so the power was shut off. We notified John of the issue, and the power was back on shortly after – no apology from John. Not to mention, we did his job for him. During this time, we were also dealing with issues with the lender side of Lennar – we were initially told we could have a remote close. A few days before close, for some reason, that changed to in person. Christian explained to my wife and I that there is a federal law that states loans with an interest rate lower than 4% are required to close on the property in person. Come to find out, that is a lie. There is no such law with these stipulations. We pushed for a remote close and finally heard the day of that we could close remotely. The morning of close, we had our final walk through. There were several big items needing to be complete before we would close. Dents in both water heaters, seams in carpets had 1/8-inch gaps, the window that was not level and wouldn’t shut. Not to mention, stains and paint drippings throughout the upstairs and downstairs. The morning we arrived, it’s like they just removed the tape from the walkthrough and expected us to forget everything we had pointed out. The water heaters were dented, there was still gaps in the carpet seams, the window wasn’t fixed, and paint was still on the carpet. We thought this would be taken care of, so we had movers scheduled to come that afternoon to move us into our new home. Fortunately, we were able to push them back to the next day. When we mentioned all the issues to John, you could tell he was seething. He explained that the window not being level wouldn’t be an issue and if we wanted it fixed it could be months before we move in, speaking to my wife, again trying to convince her it wasn’t an issue and wasn’t worth fixing. We refused to accept the house with these issues so it was agreed that they would be resolved come the next morning. Fortunately, the window was an easy fix. Had John done his job in the first place and inspected the window, it could have been resolved. Had he been on top of the contractors to resolve the issue we discussed in the first place, we would have closed on the 30th, not the 31st. The day after we were supposed to close, we did one last walk through. Still, paint on the carpet, spots on the walls without texture, the edges of the doors were rough, paint drippings on the vinyl, but at that point our lease was coming to an end, and we had no other choice but to accept the house as-is. John could not have been more rude and less helpful through the process. He was completely disrespectful to me and my wife and didn’t apologize once for all the issues we dealt with. ... More

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.
