Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

When we bought, I didn’t hear from my sales person at all. They never cleaned the home before giving the keys. I had to go in and clean before I could move in. They never showed me how to change the filter in the attic. They are not good about fixing things. I finally gave up and are fixing things on my own. And finally, what kind of home builders don’t give you screens for windows??? I had to MAKE them on my own! Look at other builders before buying unless you plans to spend A LOT!

I have had the worst experience ever. My home was not even ready to move into when I moved it. It has still yet to be cleaned. There is still blue tape on on damaged of my house that were never repaired even after multiple phone calls. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LENNAR HOME. I will do my time living in this house and can’t wait to sell it and move. There is nails sticking out of the all where my kids play. After repeatedly asking even in my blue tape walk for it to be taken care it wasn’t. That is insane! Adam the gentleman that helped me through the financing is great!

From the Lennar using unskilled labor for cheap overhead cost to work. To their money grabbing hoa. Lennar has succeeded all expectations of failing to do the simple things by cutting corners, radius, and diameters in the quality of building homes. There is not enough space in this box to write down all the deficiencies.

These are NOT homes!!!!!! They are just houses built by contractors that have no pride in workmanship! Would not recommend this builder.

There was a lot of back and forth between what Lennar should/should not be doing for their customer. This led to some animosity at times, however nothing was ever asked of Lennar that should not have been handled without even asking. Overall, for the most part things were completed before I moved in.

My thoughts are still out. Waiting for closing day. I would like someone from upper management to contact me when done

Depending on your sales associate and building manager be prepared to go through a hassle of a process

Workmanship of the home could have been much better not so impress on how it was put together. Found to many defects backyard could have been leveled much better etc. Eagle Mortage office set me up for failure, informing and was written on my contract that HOA was paid monthly then I get a bill from spectrum stating I had a balance and a late payment fee added to my bill of $40. Spectrum has informed me HOA is paid annually. This could have been avoided if I was given proper instructions. Eaglemortage should be liable for the late fee, since I was not at fault. Communication with the buyer needs to be more clear and written as well from Eaglemortage. ... More

I purchased my home by the help of a virtual assistant (young eyes) and showed it was spacious, had a nice yard and the price range was good, but little did I know after moving, that this home was not meant for seniors/retirees due to the fact in order to replace the a/c filter you would need to pull down a step ladder, adjust it to secure it’s locked then climb up to the attic in order to replace the a/c filter. It’s just a matter of time before an accident occurs. There are drafts from the doors and windows, you can see the caulk is cracking by the walls of the kitchen counter. if I had been able to personally walk through this house before purchasing I wouldn’t have purchased it. ...

This is the 3rd Lennar home we have purchased. The first two homes were well built, the purchase process was easy and the limited warranty work was done well. This time the process was much more stressful. First, we were not allowed to use our Realtor due to some rule that we had used a different one with Lennar in the past. This made the process much more difficult for us. Second strike was the inability of our sales person to respond to us. Once we signed the contract, we were dead to her. After the sale, the person who was supposed to be a liason would never answer calls and always send emails right as day was ending so we could never respond and get quick answers. To say the process up to move in was frustrating was an understatement. To male matters worse, Lennat asked to move up the close date. We could not do quite as early as they asked as the date didn't line up with our other closing. We did move up as much as possible. Yet when we got close closing, the home wasn't close to ready. Our inspection was rescheduled 3 times. The 2nd time we drove by the house on Saturday for a Monday inspection to see the house still had days of work to be done. Even when we did the inspection, appliances were not there, irrigation was not placed among other key things that should have been inspected. Due to the rushed nature of the build, we have had more warranty claims in one month than we did on two other homes combined. The overall feeling is the entire community is being built too fast for th3 team or without regard to quality. Lastly, we recently had to have our back fence removed to dig a sewer line. We were told it was just for when the excavator needed to turn. 10 minutes into job, the excavator had drove over the irrigation system and newly laid sod. Even after it was "capped" we still se water seeping into hoke they have been digging for over 2 weeks with no end in site. ... More

There was tons of confusion on closing dates and who was helping us with the home buying process. Once we closed and walked in the floors were still dirty and the place had not been cleaned. It wasn’t terrible but it could have been better.

The overall experience was on par with most mid-range builders. The one strange item and I wasn't told about this until we were getting ready to move in. Was that the window screens were not included. For an entire house of half screens is less than $300. It's very strange for a home that's almost $300,000 to not include the screens.

Too much paperwork and the amount of time required to keep informed were unreasonable.

Make sure you ask what color your house is going to be. Didn't know I needed to ask what the color of my house was going to be painted, my bad for assuming they painted houses in neutral colors, which are more versatile. I wasn't shown what the color scheme was going to be so you don't really have any options to choose, it seemed it was either you buy it or someone else will. The construction manager is very responsive and hardworking, kudos to him

Poor quality control during the build. House next door has been half built for 6 months and I have a constant flow of trash in my yard. Lennar mortgage company was a nightmare to work with.

I was told that I didn’t need a realtor and that the process would be easy. But has a first time home buyer, there were things that was not explain to me. Such as, when first looking at homes, I was shown 3 different floor plans. Only one floor plan was explained on what came with the home “the package”. When shown the next two home nothin was explained, so I assumed all homes came with blinds, full sod, and irrigation. Additionally, my home concierge was hard to get a hold to and didn’t respond at times with my questions. Furthermore, my loan officer was asked by me to go over fees and the closing disclosure and did not. For a first time home buyer, this was not an easy process and was not pleasant due to the employees lack of care or responsiveness. ... More

Dealing with loan officer and title were such a pain. Poor performance, wanted evidence for everything just in case it won’t qualify and at the end it was all unnecessary paperwork. My home was finished and still needed to get clear. On this crazy sellers market. Cheap materials, poor quality of craftsmanship. Better off to go with a better builder. Lesson learned.

The home buying experience was not as good as I wanted, however the final product of the home is great.

workers may not have very much experience on certain job done work on this house like paint putting fixtures.paint wasn't done right

The process of purchasing my home was a nightmare. Lennar is far to compartmentalized, there were something like 6 different points of contact depending on what you had a question or concern about, The salesperson was pushy and told me outright lies in attempts to expedite the process - "If you don't sign today, you risk losing the favorable interest rate" was a good one. When pressed with an answer to how much time I had to sign, he dodged the question and just moved on to other subjects. The guy came off like a sleazy used car salesman. Every one else involved in the process was pleasant enough, but it was obvious that one department didn't communicate with another. This was not the first home I purchased, I know the experience doesn't need to be this chaotic. I've been in my house for about 6 weeks now and it's been great. I've had to make a few claims on the home warranty (nothing major) but that department has been very responsive, professional and prompt with the repairs. Top notch after-care. There's nothing wrong with the house, but they clearly bought the most cost effective materials to build it. Corners were cut in the way that there are no screens in the windows. There's no doorbell. Absolutely everything is painted in that cheap chalk-white paint that stains if you look at it sideways. No option to have the builder install ceiling fans or upgrade at all. They put in a tankless water heater but no water softener. The doorknobs on exterior doors lock from the inside, but you can unlock them without a key from the outside (there are deadbolts)... nothing that's a deal breaker and you can take care of all of this yourself if you're handy, but it's pretty annoying. Bottom line is that the home is worth it if you don't mind a small yard. Grit your teeth and get through the nightmare purchase process. The mortgage rate Lennar offered was the reason I went with them. I got 4.25% when the national average was 7% or more. Today's housing market sucks but this aint a bad option. ... More

This is our second home bought from Lenner Homes. We expected much because of our previous experience in home buying with them. This time around, the quality fell quite a bit. The communication and coordination between the Lennar team is so bad it seems like they have not worked together at all. Everything seemed rushed including the quality of the home and the process itself. As an example, on the first home we were interested in, we filled in all requirements and was half hour away from providing the earnest money with all paper works "all good" according to Lennar finance. Five minutes later, we got a text that the home was sold! How can we lose a home we committed to and was in the works in providing the earnest money?? On the last home we eventually bought, we were informed of closing literally 6 hours before we had to sign the papers. This after asking the team a few hours earlier when our closing was, and they indicated it's not set yet since everything is still being processed! The home itself, was poorly designed. As an example, there is no hook up for water softener in an area where they themselves recommend having one. I asked why there is no hook up lines when they recommended it, and the answer is they did not plan for it in any of the homes. The only reason we bought the home is because it was priced lower since the community is still being developed. The overall experience was at best 2 out of 5. Lennar is not the same as it was. ...

Buying a house in this market is tough. We were thrilled to get the house and at the price we did. However, the loan process was pulling teeth to get anyone to respond. I sat at closing for 5 hours because they messed up paperwork and were not prepared. Our house is beautiful but they definitely cut corners on thing. We have random cement piles they tried covering up in the backyard, cabinet doors were put on the wrong direction. Cabinet under the kitchen sink completely fell off. The home was not cleaned as stated prior to move in and there is paint marks on our carpet. Overall we are happy to have a home but definitely will not buy Lennar again. ... More

Picking the house and putting the down payment was easy and getting financing wasn't hard for me. Then I was met with an extreme escrow office that accused me of being an investor because I have multiple houses. So, I canceled contract, I thought about it for a day and the house was a good deal, so I went back and did everything all over again, just to be told no by the same escrow officer. I got another lender and closed within 30 days without issue. I took me almost 3 months to buy this house all because the assumption of me being something I am not.

Honestly it was one of the most horrible experiences ever done. The buying process was very unprofessional since they keep on changing the closing day and while me and my family already left the place we used to live at. I’m a disabled Veteran so I thought I will be a little easier for me to move into my new house but this was just a nightmare. The house was not even clean, some things were damaged and the response from the inspector is just not working for me so I ended up doing the cleaning and fixing with my wife for over two weeks. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar to any of my fellow Veterans at all. ... More

Have couple of issues, lennar want me to do a zoom call. Should send a guy to address issues which are minor instead of having to make time for this.
