Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

I felt like there was a lack of communication between title company and construction manager, and sales person, I was off and left wondering who was going to contact me regarding closing and final walk-through. Title company had me closing before final walk-through.

Very good experience in my new home

First the details of the house could be better. Flat wall paint that shows every touch. does not cost a lot to use a different paint. My walk through was not good. Door frames were horrible and had to be replaced. Flooring was buckled in the living and dinning room. Replaced in several time and still could not get it right. On day of closing I walked the house again. The flooring is two different dye lots now. Not enough time to change it before closing. Tape and texture does not match in enty due to them having to fix it. Overall, I would not purchase a house from Lennar.

Great experience from start to now. Had to call home warranty twice but they fixed the issue right away. Absolutely great company and people and I loveeeeee this home. I am grateful for everyone in the process of getting the house.

James was awesome to work with, answered all my questions and phones calls even on his days off. Very professional service through the whole home buying experience.

Most of the staff with Lennar is great, however communication skills on the other hand, not so good. I understand things happen, but the lack of communication was absurd. Our home was never cleaned before moving in either. Moving into a dirty home, with an infant, trying to unpack was chaotic. The builder did send the cleaners over about a week later, however when they cleaned they left tiny pieces of metal (from their scrubbers) all over my floor. Blue tape was still left in some places as well. All in all my family and I were just expecting a different outcome. The staff was friendly and helpful, the builder was informative and tried to be corrective as well. Id suggest slowing down, making sure the home is 100%, instead of rushing through just to get it done. Us homeowners can tell the difference! ... More

It really sucked very bad. Call corporate to find out why

Travis, Shane and Emmanuel were extremely helpful.

No happy with the way I was treated, I’m still waiting for the grass to be place and no one gives me an idea when it’s going to be installed

Paying 200k plus for a home, you'd think there would be more attention to detail from the builders. A lot of things I've found could have been addressed prior to me even seeing the location. Beautiful home, but a lot of finishing touches were lacking.

The price of the home doesn’t reflect the low level quality of materials and craftsmanship in the home. The home has a beautiful face on it but basic everything else from the cheap doors, no locks on the door knob, the basic level stove and microwave, carpet padding, no screens for the windows and the most horrific caulking and painting of the base boards. I reached out to inquire about upgrading the low level things and I was told that it violates the warranty!?!?. You don’t know all of these things until you get in the house and live in it. Also what happened to everything is BIG in TX??? The driveway doesn’t fit to full size vehicles. You can’t even get out and not be standing in the grass. That is TERRIBLE. I’m coming from Florida and the Lennar homes are on a completely different level and quality. I was excited about this experience but I feel like i’ve been scammed for $150K. My last place was built in 2019 and very similar. I wish I was back in Florida. ... More

Good day, Over all the loan process with Lennar mortgage was pretty much straight forward. Kim and Susan were Johnny on the spot telling me when I missed something or they needed something else and I think we work pretty well together. As for the support for other Lennar staff some was good and some was very poor. Sometimes I would call and ask a question and no one would call me back. My wife called and asked, in the brochure it shows the house comes with a refrigerator, washer and dryer and wanted to know about this. But as of today we have not received an answer about why our house did not come with this items. This is a text I sent to one of Lennar employees; Could you please stop by sometime in the next couple of days (and my address) this is his reply, What are you needing? I’m pretty busy tied up with a lot of home. At another time, I showed other employee a letter from the water company that I received about the Backflow Prevention assembly that Lennar had install and he said someone from Lennar will contact you about this, no one contacted us about the letter. With no one calling me back or getting back to me, I just stopped asking Lennar employees anything, I just do what I have to do to get things done. As for the house itself, at first it all looked pretty good, now that we are in, we are seeing all the mistakes. The good part is, in my case it all seems to be little stuff (attention to detail stuff) like; paint all in the wrong places, on the carpet, on the tile, on windows. The grass, trees and bushes were in bad sharp, about a 4 x 16 foot strip of grass was dead, one of the tree was broken off at the top and 2 of the bushes were dead. I texted one of Lennar employees, he did not call or text back. So after about 4 or 5 days I called him and he answered, I asked about the warranty on the trees and grass again and he said that there was no warranty on trees and grass, that’s pretty strange since Lennar pay a lot of money for these items. I think the main reason why the grass and bushes were dead were because they should have been planted 2 to 3 days before closing, not 3 to 4 week before closing where no one takes care of them. As for the sprinkler system I had to dig out 3/4 quarters of the heads so the grass could get the proper watering that it needs. As for the sidewalk, big chunks of cement on the sidewalk. If a kid was riding his/her bike and hit one of those chunks of cement they could crash and get hurt. All or most of this items should have been caught by you Quality Control (QC) team or at least the person who signed off on that certain project (paint and grout all over the master shower, whoever signed off on the shower, stating the shower is complete, should have seen all the paint and grout, I wear glasses and I seen the paint and grout without my glasses on). No A/C filter in the Air Conditioning unit, who knows how long ago the A/C unit was instilled and running without a filter. Your QC person needs to go back to Quality Control school and get recertified. I know there is a Quality Control school because I was one of the instructors at one of the schools for the DOD (Department of Defense). The big questions is, would we recommend Lennar homes to other buyers and the answer is NO. With no one calling us back, and text like, I’m busy, what do you need. The bottom line is I was a customer before I bought the house and I’m still a customer after I closed on the house. The only difference is that after closing I can write good things about Lennar or I can write bad things about Lennar with firsthand experience. Here is a good example of your great service; I received an email from Kim on 8 March 2023 stating that my loan will be sold. I emailed Kim on or about 2 April asking about this and here it is the middle of April 2023…. and pro for the course, I did not received a reply back. ... More

I closed on my home in February of 2023 and have had multiple issues come up... cracks appeared between the walls and ceiling, flooring lifted up and cracked. spaces showing between floor boards, that was explained as "acceptable" as long as you cant fit a credit card between the spaces. Shoddy paint jobs, and it takes 2-3 weeks to get anything scheduled to try to get the issues fixed. When you say something, you're made to feel like you are imposing on them to fix things that should have been fixed before closing. For the supposed walkthru, was told "you just look for the paint issues, and we will take care everything else. Being a new homebuyer I stupidly trusted them, and when I walked into my house after closing, find all kinds of things that should have been done. squeaking doors because they didn't fit the door in correctly to the door frame, and now the frame needs to be shaved. the Garage door has a wide crack on one of the pipes that hold the bay, and when I pointed it out, was told "that's the way they all come like that". Totally wish I could go back in time and tell myself to NOT take this house. NOT worth the headaches I am going through just trying to get things fixed the way they should be, the way they should have been before I even moved in. I am NOT satisfied with my purchase, and if I knew of a way I could get out of it, I would take it in a heartbeat, Its my opinion that NOONE should purchase a LENNAR home unless they are a handyman and are willing to work on the house yourself to fix the problem they seem to refuse to want to fix. They got my money, they now show that they no longer care about me or that house. Youi wanted my review, well there it is. ... More

Kept being told this would be one of our happiest moments, had many issues and concerns still haven’t been addressed and have moved in still waiting to get some resolution. Luv my home but overall experience was horrible and still not able to enjoy our home. Very poor communication at the very beginning, still lack of her and now. Felt so rushed and pushed and thrown to the side. Hope no one else had to or will have to experience what we did. My realtor was the only one I felt that was really here helping and supporting us. Neighborhood is wonderful so far.. wouldn’t change anything

The Best team I have ever worked with

Once they hook you into buying you are no longer important. Our concerns are placed on the back burner. Been waiting 6 wks. for weeds to be cut and grass to be planted. House looks like a jungle outside. Even had a snake show up. Sprinkler has been on and never shut off .6 wks. and still receiving guests to a rocky and weedy front yard.

Overall good experience, only area not happy with is responsiveness to warranty issues. Think the closing could have been more personalized as well.

Overall, the quality of Lennar is basic. We’ve found a lot of half-completed items ranging from: no anchors on bathroom hardware so items falling off the wall, corners cut in flooring/walls, tiles uneven, front yard sinking, etc. The view and location is why we purchased this home. Honestly, Debbie & John (warranty/construction) team are why this experience was great. Debbie is the best & Lennar is blessed to have her. There are many items we have to upgrade since Lennar builds basic builder grade homes. If you’re ok with a decent price point & updating items on your own, this is a good place to build. Simply, Johnson Ranch is about location and not this builder. ... More

The staff was courteous and friendly. I feel I got a good home for the price.

Don’t buy a Lennar Home if you expect to receive a nice yard to go with it!!!

All I have to say is that these lennar homes aren’t built with quality but rather with just speed over all - they can build a whole house bottom up in 2 months but won’t fix an issue after close date. After you close it’s like you don’t matter. Quality = what you pay for.

So to start, our agent was super helpful. He answered every question he could. He was always available to help. The loan application was painless and the officer was always available to answer questions. They were both top tier. Now to the actual house itself. Over the course of the two months before we moved in, we voiced numerous concerns. Some little finishing work type things (scuffs, chips, leveled doors and cabinets) and some bigger things like water leaks and the quality of the sod placement. We were told that these thing would be finished closer to closing. Fast forward to the week of closing and almost none of the things that we brought up had been fixed yet. And when they finally did fix them it was a very sub par job. I’ll give them credit for building a house. But the devil is in the details. You can tell when they had people that actually knew what they were doing working vs when they didn’t. I asked them to level the sod out before we moved in and they basically just put a band aid on it that lasted about 2 days. It’s obvious that they didn’t install it correctly. I can count on one hand how many right angles they made with the molding in the house. And the caulking lines are absolutely awful. The tile in our shower was left uneven at the top. Who does that. It immediately draws your eye to it. I didn’t mind so much because of a willingness to fix and change what I wanted, but as a professional you should still want to present the best product you can. Whoever came in to check the work that had been done obviously didn’t care about the finished product. The excuse we got for most of it after bringing it up again was that it was “all within acceptable limits for the builders”. Long story short the quality of these pre-fab contractors is no where near what it used to be. it makes me wonder what else in the house was put together to an “acceptable level”. Last thing, the cleaning job they do before you move in is absolutely laughable. They may as well have not even done it. Paint all over the floor and looked dirtier then before they cleaned it. ...

Random things in the house were found to not work or not be installed correctly. Electrical outlets not working is very annoying.

I’m still waiting for issues to be corrected on my home. I asked about why there are no window screens and was told that they where removed. I’ve never bought a home with out them. There is no documentation that says you wouldn’t have them. The painters are using water down paint and just are overall sloppy. The exterior is missing calking around all windows overhang. My salesman never called stayed in touch throughout my whole buying experience. If it wasn’t for my daughter staying on top of everything, I would have never closed.

My home buying experience was loaded with delays and disappointments. The quality of these houses is also not very good. I would look at moving somewhere else if I had to do it over again.
