Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

-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

Pay attention to the brickwork and shower tile work...... they will use defective material and patch them up in a very amateur way.... When you reach out about the issue they will say that is the pattern of the brick. When you don't fall for that they will ignore you and never respond again.

I don’t recommend it the worst experience ever, the house had a lot of problem

The entire process was a joke and can be summed up as simply as saying I received better service at McDonald’s. The only reason I purchased this “home” is the promotional interest rate. I would not recommend Lennar to my worst enemy and will NEVER purchase from them again. Nobody at the company cares about anything other than taking all the money from you they can. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The entire homebuying process was a nightmare from start to finish. Salesman was not knowledgeable at all to the product or process. Then the mortgage team I dealt with was absolutely horrid and unreachable most of the time. I almost pulled out of the deal due to frustration and complications that were unnecessary. In addition to this there is a design issue in the house that wont allow me to get furniture up the stairs. I am not a genius but even I can figure out that if you're building a house with all bedrooms upstairs you should design a staircase and handrail that allows you to get furniture up to these rooms. I have lodged a complaint and am getting the typical runaround. I am actively telling friends, family, and anyone I know to avoid buying a Lennar Home. Thanks! ... More

Stay away from Lennar period. But If you must buy a Lennar home, please budget for thousands of dollar you will need to spend to get the home to a barely comfortable place to live. The price might seem reasonable at first, but when you calculate all the missing items in the home, you will end up paying significantly more than you you went with another builder. Also, be prepared for bad service all round and constant state of confusion amongst their staff.

I would like them to look somewhere else to avoid all the issues my family and have gone through

Do NOT buy from Lennar!

La calidad del trabajo es extremada mente pésima por el precio y los materiales son de los más baratos y corrientes no recomiendo a nadie que compre casa con esta compañía

Terrible customer service. Can’t get anyone to answer calls, still haven’t gotten my mortgage situated. Yard was done terribly.

I closed on a house in a Lennar community 6 months ago. The building process was ridiculously stressful. Zac, the building manager over my home, was hard to communicate with, did not follow through on requests, left my build sitting with unfixed issues for months. Even untouched the week between my initial walkthrough and my final one. I ended up coming to my FINAL walkthrough, with several trades people actively working to fix problems WHILE I WAS WALKING THROUGH. I was asked to give them a couple of hours and come back to walk again. Zac’s lack of attention to issues, left me dealing with NUMEROUS warranty issues from the moment I moved into the home. Brooklyn, our warranty contact, has been helpful and responsive. However, the companies that Lennar are contracted with are horrendous at following through on their trades. The companies either don’t show up when scheduled, or don’t repair things as expected. Now, something that our community was promised as an incentive for living in our neighborhood (4 season-passes to the water park next door, annually) because we don’t have any pool amenities, the HOA is saying is not correct information. Why are the sales people promising buyers something if the HOA for our neighborhood is not backing that information? None of this even touches the issues I encountered with the incompetent mortgage team. Lost files, incorrect numbers, missing credits, TERRIBLE communication, and a whole slew of other problems. At this point I cannot, in good conscience, recommend LENNAR to anyone. This company seems to revolve on words of smoke and mirrors. What a terrible way to do business. ... More

This has been the worst experience of my life. I honestly would not encourage, suggest, or promote anyone I like, know or trust to purchase a Lennar home. The quality is subpar, the responsiveness to issues is next to never as far as the repair persons actually showing up. There is no flexibility with scheduling, I had to keep taking off work trying to get things repaired in a BRAND NEW HOUSE. NIGHTMARE.....RUN! I gave 1 stars to submit the review

Bad quality , even the paint and the floor .

Very bad all departments.

I would never recommend Lennar to any home buyer. The overall experience was so poor and this is my 4th home purchase. So many things went wrong with this home purchase from day one up until the closing day. I will NEVER buy a home with Lennar again and I would NEVER recommend them.

Low quality materials used and left the finishing work undone and promised to be taken care of at time of closing but later they don't care. Keep putting work orders and they ask for phone appointments and virtual appointments but work not done and they close the tickets without completing it. Even the area manager don't respond to email sent. Really disappointed.

Every step of the home buying process was horrible. From the agent, to the contractor and now customer service won’t respond to us for a month. Every single person I come into contact with from this point on I will stir away from Lennar. Between the several realtors and businesses in our realm, we should be able to reach many of your potential customers to insure they do not make the same mistake we did by choosing Lennar as our home builder.

Requested my preconstruction meeting 4 times, IN WRITING, never happened. Was not able to do a pre-sheetrock inspection despite asking for one, they put the sheetrock up anyways. Had I known timelines, hence wanting a preconstruction meeting, I could have planned better. I did not meet A SINGLE person from the construction team until TWO WEEKS before I closed. Workmanship was described by A LENNAR TEAM MEMBER and my realtor as "embarrassing". They PUT THE WRONG BRICK ON MY HOME and told me, "We will give you your earnest money back but we are not fixing it.". I was one of the first to put a contract on a home in my section and the price increased significantly. If I would have taken my earnest money back I would have been doing them a huge favor, they would have sold it to someone else for $50K more than I paid. What was communicated to me from sales and what construction delivered was completely different. Do not get my started on the Construction Area Manager, I do not understand how this person even has a job. The only piece of my experience that has been decent is with Warranty repair. It would serve Lennar well to remember that buying a home is an emotional purchase and the market is not always this good. I will forever strongly discourage buying a Lennar home to anyone and everyone. What I listed here just scratches the surface of this horrible experience. ... More

If at all possible DO NOT buy a house from Lennar. If at all possible they will take advantage of price increases on your contracted home to selectively cancel your contract and force you to re-contract on the same house at a higher price. They will do this the day before closing forcing your hand to fork over more money. The quality of the house is terrible. Our floor tiles buckle, the kitchen island is not level do food rolls off, the HVAC cannot maintain safe humidity levels, there are a number of mis-wired switches and missing GFCI and or AFCI breakers. Our master bath sink is cracked. Cracked kitchen cabinets. The WiFi they include with the house crawls like a snail, yard is not graded properly. Ductwork is not sealed properly. Windows were not caulked, Shower glass is damaged. Interior doors are warped. The list goes on and on. ... More

Asked several times to the office manager, who is not responsible for any warranty service call and has never returned or suggested where to call for the warranty repairs!
