Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

I did not shop my loan to different brokers and Lennar locked me into their lender. I was moving from CA and unaware of TX real estate laws. My fault. I had to jump through hoops to get closed. The underwriter requested forms contradictory to information on Lennar’s website. Lender was not clear in communication requesting information that caused delays. Someone wrote “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and I lived it. If Lennar was the last builder on the planet, I wouldn’t recommend them.

Lennar has succeeded at making my first home buying experience terrible in so many ways. Closed Jan 19th and still have floors popping up all over house. Got huge runaround by flooring company. Now I have to be displaced from my home for 3 days and pray things are actually done correctly this time.

i’ve had way to many issues with Lennar. so many broken undone things in the home. customer service representative is not helpful, def wouldn’t recommend lennar.

Have problems that need to be taken care of Have a Kēvo that has never worked and now they say I have to pay $120 to have it set up and maybe it will work if not then they will replace it maybe

I had high hopes when purchasing my home through Lennar, but unfortunately, my experience has been riddled with frustration and disappointment. Before closing, I hired a professional home inspector who uncovered a laundry list of issues—bad masonry work, sloppy and frankly comical electrical wiring, fencing that lacked proper nails and support, and concerning plumbing flaws, particularly with the water heater. Despite these problems, I was pressured to close on the home before the issues were properly addressed. While some of them were eventually fixed, the process was far from timely or reassuring. Since moving in, I’ve continued to uncover more problems: Poor concrete and driveway work More bad masonry Fence quality that is clearly subpar Scratched bathroom tiles that somehow passed inspection Sloppy indoor painting Missing roof flashing in at least one section Windows that were poorly installed, raising concerns about future insulation and efficiency issues with the double-pane glass These aren't just minor annoyances—they’re serious quality control problems that shouldn’t exist in a home costing several hundred thousand dollars. If I wanted to continue the list, I could, but these alone are enough to give any prospective buyer serious pause. Buying a home should be exciting. Instead, it’s been an ongoing battle to get the basics done right. I expected better from a national builder like Lennar. ... More

My experience with Lennar was not great at all. Yes we got a lot of incentives but communication was horrible. They were not up front about what came with the home, the sales representative lied to us about anything and everything. Keep in mind that this is my first time buying a home. It was supposed to be a smooth process and one of the happiest moments of our lives but we felt robbed from that moment. Not only that they would not communicate with my realtor at all. Just when dates were pushed for walkthroughs which were changed at least 5 times. Overall communication was terrible with Lennar. Would I buy a second home with Lennar absolutely not. ... More

Home is good but the seller never does what they said they wil do … as soon à I close the virtual contract no one respond my again except the region manager

We were originally offered a chance to get a lower interest rate and then right before closing were told that there was no way to even consider lowering the interest rate, but it was kinda too late at that point for us. Our closing date was miscommunicated to us and after planning move out dates at our other place and setting up installation appointments at the new place, this delay in closing caused us to have to rush back and forth to get everything moved in half the time we expected to have. After moving in, we found multiple issues.....paint on the carpet, paint on the vinyl plank flooring, paint on the power outlets, drywall texture sprayed all over the windows and shower doors. Our garage door button wasn't connected all the way and shorted out. Our dryer circuit breaker wasn't connected at all. The circuit breaker for our microwave kept tripping b/c the wires were installed wrong. For a brand new house, we are having to spend A LOT of time fixing everything. If we wanted a fixer-upper, we would have chosen something much cheaper. Awful experience. Will never do business with Lennar again. ... More

Honestly, I would never recommend nor purchase another Lennar home. The only positive experience was my initial walk thru 2 weeks prior to closing on my home with Lennar associate Beth. From the very start with Lennar, my sales personnel, Jimmy Zaid kicked off the negative experienc but his constant lack of communication, And most importantly empty promise of purchase price. He stated that every model of my home sells for $300,000 and that there were 3 left after looking at a model of one selling that day. Long story short after I finally got in contact with him, he stated the best price he could do was $338,000 and not $300,000 due to my specific home not being a short sale. This communication was done via text since he would not answer my calls. He stated he was off the days I left messages. Additionally, another time when I could not reach him, I ended up calling the local sales office and the associate who answered specified that if I signed the same day, I would receive a free copy washer & dryer. Once again Jimmy never mentioned any other this. I've spoken with several neighbors who went thru Lennar mortgage etc and very similar, terrible experience. Additionally, the Lennar lending associates (there were 2) consistently asked for the same redundant paperwork. I submitted w writhing 3 times (Lennar portal and each Lennar Mortgage associate) This was my third home purchase might I mention, so I am very familiar with home buying experiences. My neighbors and I are clearly guinea pigs to the Samara neighborhood and all share a similar negative experience. I could provide another page of my entire experience but I'm sure no one will read this. Surprisingly, I did receive a call a couple weeks ago when I received another Lennar surgery where I rated everything 0 and I spelled everything out to that associate who want d me to elaborate feedback responses. ...

The worst experience of my life buying home from Lennar. Bad salesman from start to finish with little to no help , construction manager cheating and treat you like a kid, paint finish crack and final walk have to delay because no one did it from the first walk , after they touch up move in the paint dry and show crack again leaving the buyer stuck . Never never buy from Lennar

I bought a Lennar (New Home) in 2004 and had a very good experience, but this time we were disappointed. We chose the house because of the school. Our friends warned us about Lennar. We are still working to get all fixed from Lennar. A lot they just won't. While we closed on the house, they were still working at the home, and it seems like it never ends. In 2004, the house was finished, and we could move in right away after a few paint and grass fixes. This time, the walls are not even straight. We had some walls fixed already. I am tired of looking at all and wished I picked a different house. ... More

Our experience buying a Lennar House was a Nightmare! And 8 weeks after moving in, our nightmare continues. Trust me when I say, dont buy with Lennar, keep looking find your dream home, they crushed our dreams.

The buyer has no say in buying a Lennar home, and getting all the details completed to have a clean built home is impossible with Lennar.

Not happy with my experience at all.

Subcontractors are horrible Superintendents are useless and shady No supervision on the projects

The worst buying experience. Very stressful process. Their priority is to get you to sign at all costs

The amount paid of the house is too much as compared to quality of materials used in the house. False information provided that Lennar don't install blinds for windows and gutter line. I have checked other houses build in the same area with lennar builder and they all have blinds and gutter line. Builder don't response to the email after they sale you the house. Lots of space was wasted in building the house like big bathroom and no store closed provided

Started out as a good experience, then lost our lead Lennar rep during our purchase, either quit or lost his job. Some disorganization during closing, excused. Website and paperwork still has items that are not discussed with Lennar reps like access points and door locks, so I guess update that? Materials used are low quality, I get it, you have to make money. Just pay attention to your build. Customer service is bad, they don’t know how to use the system to properly and efficiently work on cases. Our appliances were stolen during closing, we err were given new (not new, when I submitted warrranty to frigidaire for the oven, it was already used) items, oven has issues, we were told that they need to register that with Frigidaire so that frigidaire can handle the request, not Lennar’s problem. Who is frigidaire? Garbage company, I’ll just get a nee oven. Like every thing else in 2025, everything sucks, Lennar is okay if you don’t fight back and just say the whole experience is wonderful. ... More

I hate Lenner. They use the cheapest materials possible, and the quality of life of the homes they build is horrendous. They have monopolized playing in our faces: foundation cracks, appliance issues, and no resolution from Lennar.

I cannot express how i feel about my experience because @Trust Builder and @lennar block my experience. Don't understand why you ask for my experience if i cannot express myself, I suppose you want only good rating are the ones you make public,

The staff are not that good. Very bad material quality considering that the price of the house is almost half a million dollars Issues started to appear after just one week of closing. Their warranty are scam. It doesn't cover the roof the fence the irrigation system. Overall experience BAD

-Fence falling from no concrete -Windows leak -Front door leak -Poor exterior prep and painting -Worst of all AC is inadequate for home and gets warm inside home. -second worst of all is lennar warranty is terrible they try everything under the sun to avoid fixing anything. Piece of crap people. DONT BUY anything from lennar -other people in the neighborhood have issues even worse than mine.

First poor costumer service ! Second less than a month and fence falling down cheap installation and work Now I have a house on my right side under construction to close from my back yard looks horrible ! I should wait to buy ! Only Mr Bob De Leon has been very attentive ! Thanks Patricia

Hone was made quickly and has many imperfections. The process was rushed to close on time which impacted my ability to request things to be fixed. The brick has light spots and a patch doesn't match the rest of the home. The garage isn't sealed properly allowing rodents to enter

First house I tried to buy was in Seguin, Texas. My closing date was postponed and then on the day of new closing date I was told "your husband has to co-sign." One whole month they couldnt't figure out that my loan was a liability. I was extremely disappointed. They took so many documents but in the end gave me no choice, tried to rush me, gave me advice on cosigning when it's a personal decision and they invaded that personal space, no one asked them for their opinion on co signing part. So, fast forwad in to the new year of 2024, my work took me to Houston, So I started looking for homes around the airport area. I found an old home, inspection didn't go well so i moved on to the next one. I met amazing realestate agent and a lender. They were with me every step of the way showed me so many properties eventhough my budget was smaller. They treated me well, gave me information on financing, no snarky remarks or judgment, treated me like everyone else. I decided to go with them no matter what. Coincidentally I received a text from Austin's lennar sales agent, I informed her that I am no longer looking at the properties in Austin Texas. I am moving to Houston and appreciated the info. So she sent me a link for houston homes and told me prices have dropped. So I drove from Austin to houston to go check it out and since my lender had already approved me for certain amount I was happy to look for homes in that budget. I met sales agent name: A.W at the location. I've already seen these properties on website your other agent gave me. So I arrived early saw everyhome before meeting A.W. He didn't even try to sell me the house. I had to dig for information about what comes with the house, automatic water heater, sprinkler system etc. All questions were asked by me to him. I decided on the house and informed my agent. We tried to negotiate and decided to make an offer. He insisted I should speak to their lender first for perks. I informed him about my previous experience at seguin and i insist on going with my lender. My agent said lender can close in 15 days. Client file is ready. A.W took it personally it seems. He insisted I should atleast speak to lennar mortgage. I insisted on making offer so someone with authority can make that decision. He told me upfront, my offer will get disqualified because he knows lennar doesnt give any discounts if they do they will recover somewhere else. He said send it to me and approval of loan documents and i will let u know in an hour. Two hours later my agent follows up on my behalf, he never bother to text or call. Then when he got in touch with us via group text, he refused to give any discounts. I agree to go with the price as is. He then rushes me to give earnest money and sign papers he asked me over the text "show me a 4 bedroom house for 195k, who told you you can get it for 190k" I said you told me I can make an offer. It wasnt professional. I was driving back to Austin. I had to pull over to reply. I got home and sign papers paid 5% earnest money when its suppose to be 3 %. He didnt go over the document with me not even via zoom or phone. So I missed looking at the closing date. I realized it the next day. I emailed them to help me. A girl approves my requested date on email but doesnt change it in the system. Few days later, at new house orientation, i find out it has not changed, yet. So I asked A.W why? He blamed it on me because apparantely that girl just suggested the date she didn't say she will change it. But I replied and accepted her suggestion..what about acknowledgement? A VP of finance calls me to sell mortgage and I respefully denied but asked his help to change closing date and he said A.W can help you its not a problem, he got a gist of the story and he claimed everyone loves A.W, it doesnt sound like him. I even requested your customer service to remove A.W and customer service said NO. he refused to change the date. I told him i will not get paid if i move my work days. He asked me if house is more important or losing few hundred dollars? He gave me a choice of paying 100 per day to push my closing date. Not to mention on day one he also asked me if i was buying house with cash. He also said he didnt do zoom or phone call on document signing day because I had my agent she could have done it for me. So A W just gets free commission and we do his part of job too? It doesn't end here. I went through so much stress to make the closing happen on given date. He didn't even stayed to hand me the keys. As soon as I pulled up I saw him leaving. You guys charge me 2000 dollars for convenience fees for closing to go smooth. I will never forget what I went through twice. Inflation is bad and your team just added stress to it and charge money for it. My hvac and appliances already used warranty once. Your guys had to come and do the caulking which was marked on Orientation final walk. A Customer service agent ,who setup my appointment to fullfil service request visited physically to check on paint and caulking issues. She also cleaned the drips of paint on cabinet. Gave me advice that in my 11th month I should call for these services. She said you used your warranty it's only one time. Both Sides of my yard is wet for 2 months they sent a guy with a shovel. He removed dead grass and left. The water retention is still there. I didn't sign or acknowledge the completion yet. No one is following up on that. Hvac, and appliances was an emergency and so is water retention. ... More
