Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Marcus, our sales rep, was great! We were a walk in and he showed us a floorplan which we really loved. He was attentive and knew exactly what we were working with and on the same page as far as pricing, lending, etc. With our approvals in place, we went into escrow. We did a home inspection, which we were basically rushed into because we were notified the Lennar Mortgage wanted to close a couple of weeks early (I'm guessing to meet end of month/quarter goals). We agreed because we just wanted to be on the same page as everyone and do what we needed to close the deal. We were promised that some of the items that weren't taken care of by closing would be taken care of such as missing cabinet shelf, concrete splatter on the walkway and driveway, an unfinished attic door, among other things. Once we received the keys, its as if they didn't care anymore. Our builder rep no longer returned any phone calls or text. I touched base with Marcus again and he was disappointed they left us hanging like that and just recommended I contact the warranty department and try to go that route. I've already done so and it has been a week since I've heard anything. My confidence level is low that they'll even get back to me. If you are thinking of buying with Lennar, I recommend holding the construction manager and building representatives accountable. Get their names and phone numbers and be proactive because they are likely too busy to contact you themselves. ... More

Was ok, i provided everything on my end. And just a bunch of waiting for myself, some questions were not really resolved just put on hold. I've been trying to contact my loan officer and others for current questions regarding final inspections but no one responses, or call backs.

Overall, the home buying experience was ok, it was after and the issue I had was getting creditors checks to pay my bills; it took 3 months....very unacceptable. Messages were not returned from the office on 410 and Jones Maltburger, I feel I was just ignored.

The only experience that was good was working with mortgage department, they were great. Sales office was not responsive to concerns after I signed contract. Koral told me after I signed that water was expensive here. I moved in 8/28 and still do not have sod and neighbors who moved in after me, like next door neighbors already have theirs. There are a tremendous number of homes that have sod, they haven’t even brought on new base dirt or leveled my lot. The final walked through the house was filthy, mud in garage, trash (including beer cans in back yard), the concern about under kitchen sink never resolved, and I have had a couple electrical issues lately. ...

This was my 3rd Lennar home purchased. Sales team was great, had 3 walk thru and still incomplete. (Just did the problems myself). The building team needs improvement. My other 2 Lennar homes where fantastic and was treated very well. I have pics from the 3rd party inspector that will shock you. Thanks for listening.

It was an average experience the whole way through. Throughout the process plan to experience slow response time to questions you may have and since there are several people working with you it will take longer to find the right person to actually the question. Problems due get fixed and questions will get answered it just takes longer than expected. Interior and finishes are fair. You can tell some install and items were rushed and quality is not the best. Overall it is good price for the size of home.

At first Lennar seems like a great company to work with. That quickly disappears once they have you under contract. They expect everything under the sun from you at a moments notice. Yet, when you have questions or concerns they take their sweet time. There were a lot of small issues we found during our new home orientation. They had 8 days to fix them yet most of them were “fixed” during the final walkthrough. We are mostly happy with our home but I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. It was a stressful experience.

Heavily implied sod and trees would be delayed until I was able to arrive at the home. Told it would be documented. Neither happened and there was no follow up on the matter. Trees were replaced but sod left to me, which will cost me $8k out of pocket to replace. Multiple breakers keep popping and have to keep submitting work orders. Garbage disposal never worked. Dishwasher stopped working. Wasn't told there wouldn't be window screens. Multiple areas still need touch up paint. Multiple areas weren't cleaned from paint droplets. Overall feel I was taken advantage of and not properly assisted throughout the process for my first ever hone purchase. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

Lennar sales person is very nice and helpful, other workers don’t trust , When you buy a house from them before closing need to be very careful check everything if they don’t fix them you have to fix them on your own. Like my gate to backyard from day one we bought the house cannot keep closing have to use a zip tie to zip the gate not very professional job , lay dead grass and blamed you not watering it ,

Felt like the issues never got resolved and it was rushed just trying to close us on the house there’s lots of screwed up things that’s should of got fixed and now I have to do warranty work for all of it instead of it just getting done right the first time I don’t roll like that and I find it unacceptable when other people do

I feel we got good value for what we paid, workmanship and material was sub par compared to other local builders.

It was not pleasant. Overall disappointed in the process and trust me, I’ve done this many times. I will say that warranty has been much better than the sales, mortgage and construction.

Make sure you do your walk-thru!

Our Lennar rep Phil was very helpful and professional. He helped us look at our home when the realtor was unavailable. We were on a time crunch because the home had to be sold before the end of the month (18 days) in order to get the incentives being offered. We loved the home and it already had the amenities we wanted. We had the application signed and uploaded that same day. During the walk-through process, our rep Joe and Construction Manager, Taylor made all kinds of promises. "make sure to blue tape everything", "we will have everything fixed before closing". We are still finding things they did not do. Our biggest concern was the yard and landscaping. We have two dogs and wanted to get the grass installed as soon as possible. We were promised the landscaping would be installed the first week of March after we closed. They also explained the large rocks and trash debris would be cleaned up before they installed the landscaping. They also explained a 4" layer of topsoil would be installed and then the sod. We requested to be notified when this would be done because they were quick to explain the landscaping was not covered under the warranty and once it was installed it was our responsibility. We wanted to make sure they did what they promised. Well, fast forward three weeks later when they finally came to install the landscaping, after we moved into the property and had to prohibit our dogs from going into the back yard, which was red clay mud!!! They did not clean up the large rock or the trash (we picked up 2 large bags of trash from the yard before they came). They racked the dirt and started placing the Sod. I called and asked for someone to come out because this was not what we were told. Taylor came to the home and changed her story. She said they already put the topsoil - this was not topsoil, this was more red clay dirt. The escrow process was okay, our mortgage underwriter was great. The Lennar Title company was horrible and unprofessional. They required a virtual closing and we were told the closing link would be sent to us early on the closing date. I had to make several phone calls because the link wasn't there. We later found out that our closing agent "had something to do that morning and didn't come in until after 10am. She forgot to send the link the night before". Isn't there anyone else in the department that can help her? This was a big deal for us. It took another 2 hours to receive our link. They did not care that we have jobs, and we were expected to drop everything when it was convenient for them. Lennar Title was the worst part of this whole experience. We were supposed to receive our paint voucher at closing....not included. I had to fight for it for 3 weeks. I picked up my keys, which only included my house keys, no garage door openers. We were told they were left in the garage on the opener. Nothing. In fact, we don't know where they went, so we had to have the garage door opener re-programmed, and new openers provided, because some unknown person had access to our garage and house, but nobody knew who had them. The workmanship inside the home is what you would expect from a cookie cutter building company. They hire the cheapest sub-contractors to come in and "throw it together". I would think that Lennar would take greater pride in their BRAND. The first day we moved into the home, we had electric issues. We found out by their electrician coming out, the crew that did the electrical did a very poor job. 6 of the 8 outlets for the garage and exterior were improperly wired, not connected, or the wires were loose. After discovering that, we requested the electrician come back and inspect every outlet in the home. I don't need a fire risk. They found another 9 outlets inside the home with the same issues. This is careless and unprofessional workmanship. While we love our home, we did not enjoy the home buying process with Lennar. Do your research before committing to a builder. ... More

It was a Blessing in disguise

Best buy for the money. Both the house and loan. However, make no mistake, that price comes at a cost. The processes and policies have very little flexibility. Either you are on the Lennar train or you are out. I caution buyers to read earnest money agreement carefully, as it is not the industry standard and you will be held to what is in there.

Disappointed in Salesman responses of what we were supposed to get and didn’t. Then he dropped the ball onto a “concierge” who never showed up, supposedly “never leaves his desk”Crappy door locks. Dead sod put down. Broken trim. The fact that I have to put my appliances register myself. The drive in and out of subdivision is nothing but a dirt and debris from construction trucks and very muddy when it rains.

I’m grateful for the financial incentives that allowed me to get a new house. However, I am deeply disappointed in the process of getting the mortgage and the follow up on builder issues is poor. The house itself has some nice features but not built with high quality materials. The double garage is minimal so if you want some storage space you may have to decide not to use it for your cars. It’s barely big enough to fit two cars. The principal bedroom is large and the walk in closet is spacious. There’s no ceiling fans and no medicine cabinet and no towel racks.

They will fix all the big items but, it’s the little things that are going to drive you crazy. Make sure they fix all the little stuff before you close because getting them to fix stuff after you close is a mission.

After closing, I could no longer get any help. My sod was out in in such a way that I could not open my gate. I reached out to Zilkia several times and she said she was working on it. After a month, I finally gave up and had to dig up my yard myself to fix what was done wrong.

Good incentives, but the quality of the home is not great. You get what you pay for.

If you go everything lennar (mortgage,title,etc) its fast since you are only dealing with one company. But, that limits your options. Main issue, they don’t install the sod/grass until you buy the house. So end up doing the work on maintaining the initial install. watering twice daily for 2 weeks and if you miss it then you have terrible lawn. Its a learning curve for first time homeowners without lawn care experience. Specially if you haven’t move in yet, They install sod without telling you so you miss the watering days and end up with dead sod

Very dissatisfied with a few issues

Doors were never touched up before moving in, had to repaint ourselves. Kitchen cabinet is crooked. Flooring is raised in certain spots, back fence is already separating & we have only been here 1 month. For what we paid, I expected a higher quality of workmanship.

Things could have been made and done better in the home plus with landscaping and finance side.
