Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

The house itself is a tragedy, the longer I live here the more horrible things become apparent regarding the "quality" of these homes. Wiring -Ask about the wiring, because they will skimp out on it if able. They use 14 guage wiring throughout most of the house where they could, so hope you don't like gaming on a pc or two cause good luck with it not tripping the breaker every so often. -Want to mount stuff in your garage? Good luck with that! They have wires running every which way through almost every stud of 2 of the 3 walls making most of the space useless! They never heard of cable manage meant I guess. -Oh also pray that they even put all the wires in! Inspector missed it somehow but there was no wire connected to the outlets in the island so no power! That took a week to get resolves. Effort in building -It becomes super apparent how quickly they put these houses up and how little experience and skill the workers have when it comes to building. -Discovered a hole in the drywall that was painted over with the piece that was broken off, barely pressed it and it fell in between the wall. -They painted around the extra pile of bricks they gave you for the front of the house, which was so insulting and lazy -They didn't paint over the drywall holes they filled in until I told them to, if I hadn't I'd have these off colored circles around my house -The workers don't know how to mount things into studs or use drywall anchors, Mt bathroom had the towel racks just raw dogged into the wall with no anchors and not into studs even though the rack was 16in long. Like I don't do this type of work at all but even I know that. -They forgot to put a backflow converter in the sprinkler system which I should have taken pictures of and documented cause that is very illegal!! -There is a quarter in gap between the dry wall and garage floor with nothing filling in the gap like trim or just putting the dry wall flush -They get these "special" brand of windows that aren't much better than regular ones and come to find out, the company makes their windows non standard so you have to go them for overpriced screens if you want those -I don't think they used any seller and cheated out on the paint, which speaking of which they said we'd get a bucket of paint upon moving in and never heard back about that. Buying Process -They don't communicate well with each other or the buyer during the process. We told them we were 3hrs away from where the house was located and they ignored that fact several times and gave us 7-8am times and also repeatedly changed the meetings without consulting us about whether or not it would work. If you know what you are doing then go for it, but the only thing I've gotten from this house as a first time home buyer is to steer clear from lennar and check this place myself instead of having an inspector do it. So many missed things and problems that were never mentioned or caught ... More

Lennar professional does not seems very helpful and responsive.

Home buying process with Lennar lender was not smooth lots of back and forth. Quality of home is just ok. Considering the amount of HOA fees I would expect some community amenities but there are none.

- Hard to find the right person to explain the detailed T&C in the contract documents. - No one tells the whole flow, and the progress. Many Lennar internal teams like Lennar Insurance, Lennar Title, Lennar Mortgage, are not talking to each other. As a buyer, I have to explain and reach out each one for any supports needed. - After the closing, not sure when and how can the buyer get the full set of official documents including the registered deed. - The construction team did the sod installation before the mutual agreed date without notice, resulting the huge extra costs and longer time to the buyer on the sprinkler setup. ...

This being my first home buying experience I can say Lennar didn’t make it easygoing like promised. They are quick to contact me when they need money, but slow to get back to me about my questions. Slow or never at all. I will never buy from Lennar again. Nobody was ever on the same page and we were being lied to about things. Plus, we’ve been in the house for two months and already having problems. I wouldn’t even recommend Lennar to my worst enemy.

John our sales man was great to work with. The home and yard has had a lot of issues that should have not been over look during construction. The home is cheap in materials used.

On the date of escrow closing on 1/30/23 we supposed to get the keys to the home after the final walk through at 10am. Lennar made us wait the whole entire day then they finally handed us the keys after 7pm. We have purchased several brand new homes with various builders but never experienced such escrow problems. It was a shock to us that Lennar hardly fixed anything since the first walk through. We were so stressed out because we had to be at home every day for 3 consecutive weeks to allow Lennar to do the fixes but unfortunately Lennar had too many problems. Workers showed up at home without any tools, they did not know what to do because there was no Lennar supervision around. Worst yet the workers were very young especially not speaking a word of English. This kind of episodes kept repeating for 3 weeks long and up until last week things barely got done. We wanted Lennar to refund our money so we can buy a home somewhere else with better quality and timely maner of home delivery as promised. We have experienced tremendous amount of stress and bad experience with Lennar. If we have to write it would be pages long. It would be best that Lennar reach out to us so we can detail our bad experience. We have text messages to prove our efforts in communication with Lennar. ... More

The entire process was stressful. They were "accommodating" but only after I said I would not be purchasing the agreed upon house. The closing process itself was a nightmare. I had to ask off 4 different days from work for the closing date because it was always up in the air. Living here for about a month, I still find subpar elements in the home. Flooring done incorrectly (which they "fixed" before moving in) granite countertops unfinished. Our downstairs is a cooler, while the upstairs feels like a sauna. This is the 2nd house we own, between my fiance and I, I don't recall anywhere near this experience with our 1st... Is it the worse possible scenario? No. Would I be willing to do it over if in the same position? Big no. ... More

The lending process is broken at your company and my loan officer Adam needs some serious customer service training...the bright spot was Diana the processor and Jose the sales agent if it wasn't for those two I would have walked ...

I have had problems with the landscaper and have absolutely no help getting the problem resolved! I had an agreement with Debbie from Double H as of 8/25 to install the rest of my sod for $525 when they finally got around to installing my sod that came with the home, which was already 3 weeks late. I emailed her on 9/9 to find out when the install was and she doesn’t reply until 9/12 at 8:26am and says they are installing that day but they are no longer installing for homeowners. Then she tried to use some excuse that it had to be paid 3 days in advance, which if I was told when it was going to be installed I would have been able to pay it in advance. I requested help from Lennar since it was their landscaper that went back on their word, but got nowhere and Debbie at Double H just kept hanging up on me. I feel very let down by Lennar knowing they could have done more. And I would definitely not recommend Double H Landscaping to anyone! I believe she went back on her word because I didn’t use them for my sprinkler system which they were $1000 more than who I got it from and they proceeded to break 4 sprinkler heads while installing my sod that they did put down!! Very poor customer service!! ... More

Work order after work order right after moving in

If you want to purchase a brand new house with little attention to detail/quality of workmanship, this is the place for you!

Don't go with Lennar. They have some great people working there, but the company is run poorly. Someone at the top needs to be fired.

Home is brand new and has issues that have not been fixed. Minor issues but still haven't been fixed.

I could not have been more disappointed in the treatment we received and the number of fixes and repairs required for a BRAND NEW HOUSE. The Lennar Title Office was absolutely horrible we were lied to repeatedly, just terrible.

Don't sign papers until after they lay sod!!!!!

You better think twice and get a second opinion.

The communication throughout this whole process has been terrible. The building of the home was a total rush job. The NHO was a disaster. 2 more walkthroughs were needed to make sure all the repairs and touchups were done. I will never work with Lennar again

The home buying experience I had with Lennar was just horrible. It seems like all they care about was me closing as soon as possible. The workmanship for this 340,000 house is so horrible. I am still dealing with issues to this day. I have paint and texture all over my light fixtures, flooring issues, spray paint on my floor. The biggest thing that was so bad was the communication. I have spoken to managers , directors and rude consiglieri’s and it was as if the right had no idea what the left hand was doing. if I had know certain things like the HOA mandatory internet and other things I would NOT have purchased this home. I did believe Lennar to be a great home building company given they are one of the largest in the country, but now I am selling this home as soon as I can. My “ premium “ home is no more than an overpriced spacious poorly built track home. ... More

Thus far I have encountered many issues with construction failures in my new home. Issues such as crooked walls. Missing components. Central air and heating problems. Flooring issues with instalation flaws. No windows screens to save lennar money. Front yard still has installation failures, it appears as if they just went on to the next job and forgot about it. No personal follow up on new home. Last walk through was fast, sign here intial there. In 5min it was done. Never saw or heard from anyone again. I could go on but I won't you get the picture.

Financing was easy. Workmanship is the absolute wort. My Brand New home was not detailed at all. My stove I was told it was on when they did their inspection it was UNPLUGGED. My flooring was put together with bits and pieces. Lots of little pieces landscaping cheap only 20 feet of sod when I have at least 50 feet needed to cover yard. Big gaps that my dog got out under the gate. I didn’t realize how small the door entry to the bathrooms are my walker doesn’t fit through the door. Bee nest in my garage it’s my problem. I just moved in. I’m allergic to bees No upgrade center. You pay HOA fees even though the pool is not ready the workout area is not ready but you can pay every month that it’s incomplete. Would I buy again from Lennar. No. I would not. Buyer beware. ... More

Got a 2 story new home it's 1,950 square feet and they installed a 2 1/2 ton unit that does not cool properly the way it should they have gone out 4 times and still can't find solution and they know that the problem is that the unit is to small for house doent cool it at all down stairs till this day they haven't resolved anything and it's been over a month!!!!

I can't speak on craftsmanship after only owning the house for 2 months time will tell. But while in process of purchasing the house I worked with Aurora, as my mortgage agent. The amount of incompetence I experienced was astonishing I had to resend the same documents 4 or 5 times I can only assume because she didn't read my whole emails. Even after the house was closed I had issues with her threatening me legally because I stopped responding until I finally had to break down the math myself to show this "expert" how bank accounts work the threatening emails and letters have stopped for now I assume she finally figured it out. I am a real estate investor that was looking to buy another house in this neighborhood but my experience in the purchase of this house has made me look elsewhere ... More

First and foremost, I like my Lennar house. I liked the interest rate and the FHA down payment. As for Lennar, I have little respect for them as a company. They offered me an in person closing, then denied me one. They promised a small amount of touch up paint, then denied me one. Lennar homes are build with the cheapest materials available, by the cheapest labor possible, and with no evident skill or pride in the finished product. Lennar builds homes as a vehicle to get money from all aspects of the process. Lennar Mortgage, Lennar Title, Lennar Insurance, etc. Then they sell your mortgage in the first month. But they aren't done. They write in the contract that every time the house sells for the next 99 years, they get a $3,000 builders fee. If you disagree with any of the stipulations they add, you don't get the house. And you won't know about many if you don't read everything. Lennar developments have HOAs, but they are not what you are thinking. Lennar HOAs are run by Lennar folk and investors until 100% of the homes are sold. Some in Austin are over 13 years old and still run by Lennar. If you wanted to be involved, even just to watch, they will let you once meeting a year. The rest of the time, we have no say, no clubhouse, no pool. But they take out HOA dues and spend it with no accountability to the homeowners. Deep breath. I am happy enough with my cheaply made home. I have the tools and skills to fix what they deny to fix. Overall, I have great neighbors and have made many new friends. I look forward to having you here! (Be sure to pay for an outside inspector before you sign!) ... More

They offered great interest rate but be aware of hidden charges and surprises during the buying process. The craftsmanship is below average. You might encounter rudeness from the sales rep too. I do not recommend this builder.
