Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

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

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

Lennar is professionalism and reliability.

Extremely Disappointed with Lennar – Unorganized, Misleading, and Frustrating Experience: My home buying experience with Lennar has been nothing short of disappointing. From the start, I encountered numerous inefficiencies, misinformation, and poor communication—and unfortunately, these are just a few examples among many. 1. Incompetent Lending Process: Lennar outsources its underwriting process to a foreign country, which caused serious delays and inefficiencies. The loan officer provided confusing and inconsistent instructions regarding debt payoff in order to qualify. I was told to cut a check to the titling company, who would then issue a check to my creditor—which I had to physically deliver. This convoluted process ended up failing because the creditor couldn’t accept the check due to a mismatch in payment requirements. It was evident that the loan officer lacked a full understanding of the process, eroding any trust I had in Lennar’s in-house lending team. 2. Multiple Pushbacks on Closing: Despite having ample time, my loan officer failed to prepare necessary documents in time, resulting in several closing date delays. Each delay was incredibly disruptive and costly on my end, yet there was no accountability from Lennar. 3. Broken Promises from the Builder and Sales Rep: I was pressured into signing off on incomplete items just to meet their internal closing quotas—with the promise that these items would be finished post-closing. After closing, the construction MANAGER essentially disappeared and became unresponsive. Additionally, the sales rep misrepresented several features of the home, including the sprinkler system and a Wi-Fi-enabled garage, both of which were non-functional or nonexistent. The contract also listed a smart home key, which I never received. 4. Unresponsive Concierge Service: Lennar’s concierge was virtually useless. I was never informed that my first walkthrough was cancelled. I showed up expecting the walkthrough, only to find no one there. I didn’t even receive an email or phone call. The rescheduling wasn’t even addressed until three days later, showing a clear lack of professionalism and coordination. ⸻ Bottom Line: Buying a home should be exciting—not filled with stress, delays, and mistrust. Lennar failed to meet even the basic standards of customer service and communication. Not to mention the poor quality for the price paid. I would not recommend them to anyone considering a new home. Proceed with caution. ... More

Lennar has been very attentive to every little thing I mentioned. They had the issues corrected very quickly by very kind, polite people, ie: HVAC company.

One of the best experience, I have was purchasing a newly build home with Lennar. As a first time home buyer, I was given the opportunity to purchase a home that my family can enjoy living in for years to come. I look forward to enjoy my time my new home with my family.

The builder is good and my loan officer

Fred and Mohamed was great and answered any question or concerns I had at any time during the process. Great experience

The house was left extremely dirty between my final walkthrough and closing. There were many corrections that need to be made even after pointing them out at the walkthrough. The house seems to be very cheaply made. I have lived in the house for a month and my fence is already falling apart. For a brand new build you would expect a higher quality product. The Lennar team also schedules all of your appointments before checking your availability which is extremely frustrating and leads to longer wait times.

I am a Senior and this is my first new constructed home always bought and remodeled. The buying and completion of the sale for me being a senior was extremely difficult and so very confusing. So many many people emailing and requesting verifications and do's and dont's my head was spinning. Also some mistakes on their end when items were summitted and kept requesting same items finally I discovered why... someone at Lennar set me up to different portals for submission and they were not checking other portal. Sorry I like the old fashion way because I am not savvy on technology and the whole process was a nightmare. I had to have my children help me on most of it AND after all that the closing online ???? which was easy for certain but just did not have the WOW factor of going in person to sign and walk out with the key. It was actually blah. All the staff at Lennar were great and very nice but I did struggle for the first time in my life buying a property. With that said ....I see that with a new house the workmanship is lacking and also the details of purchasing a listed 389,000 home leaves so much for the owner to then supply the little details one would expect. Like cabinet pulls.....towel racks and rings....fans especially for those of us in Houston Texas area....gutters where a must need...also the trim throughout the home...really ??? cheap painted regular boards. I know with economy and especially since pandemic I am certain builders I guess have issues keeping the cost down...but with Lennar being a major builder owning everything from home building to the mortgage lender and everything in between sorry I am just disappointed at least for some of these things should be included. Also when a buyer does a walk thru and then workers come in to do the issues for goodness sakes they like when building the house come in and do their responsibility but do not respect the home so they bump or dent or damage other parts of the house in their process of working in your brand new home. Then you move in and see the dirty hand prints and the knocks that were made while they were in the house because this is just a job with thousands of others waiting to be worked on as well. But this is MY HOME I signed up to pay dearly for the rest of my life and I have waited a lifetime to be able to have....Lastly for goodness sakes why why why do builders use the cheapest white paint that is like powder and can not be cleaned ? I know it is the cost but has anyone asked if they would like to upgrade the paint as the buyer expense. I had to pay close to 3000 to just get the walls painted (not closets or utility room) before I ever moved in because the walls were so fragile and the fear if they are touched in anyway BOOM you have issues. Just roll in the cost of quality durable paint the first go round when house is built. I know at this price point your buyers would absolutely appreciate and willing to pay the upcharge for the better paint that Lennar would use and that would even be a FANTASTIC selling point ESPECIALLY if Lennar got out front first to offer. I have spoken .....as well as my own children that have purchased new homes and yes they were Lennar....How awful and terrible contractors paint is and impossible to keep clean and damage free even without children in ln the home. They all within just a few years of constantly touching up opted to have everything whole house inside repainted. Sorry but I feel you want my honest response ...so that is what I have given. There are so many details I love about the home...the floorplan inside and out...that mine did come with a sprinkler system...the fabulous use of space as well as most of the finishes and the community I purchased. As I said exciting event in life but as the owner I do want Lennar to have a honest review of what my experience was and is ....A lot of good with some bad. Such as life goes in all things. ... More

They told us they they will fix certain items of the house before closing. But they never did. Even after bothering them to do it many times. Disappointed.

Working with Jenna was amazing. She went way above her job title to help me through the steps to complete the purchase. She was there for me from day one, and is still there to help with all I need. I’m happy with the home, so far no issues. Everything with Lennar was great, except going through the mortgage experience.

Bought a new home for my mother. Nice house but appraisal was far below the list price causing me to have to Mortgage insurance. The Mortgage company was horrible to deal with. Lied at every turn. Had to use an outside lender to get the deal done. Would never work with Lennar Mortgage company. Had a few cosmetic issues with the house that were fixed immediately.

Love the home! But the process wasn’t all that great. No one told me the area didn’t have lights/gas so my closing was pushed back 4 months because of it. My Loan officer was GREAT!

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

Lennar is a very basic home builder whose quality comes in on the lower end for workmanship and materials. They invest heavily in "quality control" and "customer care" that is mostly a facade. That money would be better directed at increasing the quality of labor and adding a few basics like towel bars and shower curtain rods that they cut corners on. If they would adopt a "done right the first time" they would not need an entire multi-level team of "quality control" and "customer care" reps who are little more than dispatchers taught to placate homeowners with words but deliver little in terms of actual solutions. I have had issues with electrical (bad breaker), masonry (bad seals allowing water to trip my electrical), plumbing (low water pressure and random faucet drips), foundation (moisture cracks), flooring (lifted tile), and grading (grading set too high on slab, craters in yard) and have only been in my home 7 weeks. I have had two different contractors no show multiple times, or show up and not complete the work they came to do. The contractors arrive misinformed and underinformed about the problem they are there to fix, without proper tools or crews. I have to invest significant time into waiting on contractors, rescheduling contractors, etc. A Lennar rep does not meet the contractors at your home unless you insist on it, and you are left to attempt to communicate what is needed, often with crews who speak minimal English. It feels like living in a home that is not yet complete, or is undergoing significant renovation, and is very disruptive to your quality of life. ... More

Very Nice, helpful, informative patience

Very hard to get in touch with anyone for any questions, I called the concierge and was told will call back but when I called back to ask regarding the issues then no one pick up the phone. The construction team are great, very thorough walk through, but customer service team are very unhelpful, by the way I closed out my home a month ago and still don’t have a mailbox keys, and still waiting for someone to get back with me regarding because I can’t get in touch with anyone.

Lots of systems not functioning after move in: irrigation system dead, dead grass, electrical braker issue with appliance, paint peeling on front and back doors, no caulking around sinks, bathroom shower tile grout not sealed, drywall concerns.

Great value, great walk thrus, no post closing issues.

Our new home is wonderful! Well built, spacious and pretty! Our sales lady Laura O'Rourke was so helpful and super responsive to all of our questions.

Title company customer service poor response Ali

Ana and her team were spectacular! They walked us through each step in the purchase of our home. We felt very supported and informed throughout the process.

Lights blinkers, washers not working, and no water coming out of kitchen faucet.

Thanks, our tenants are happy with the home.
