Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Firstly I'd like to say that the attention to problems is not addressed . I was told that an issue was resolved but in fact it was not. Still working through it. Day after close found the furnace did not work. Had to submit a warranty claim on day 1. Sod issue. Took more than a month after close to get it placed. Then found that is was all dead and brown. Having to follow up with that now. Found after closing that the stove top burner plates are gone. Have to work that issue. Why? Not a happy camper with the builder at this point!!!

We purchased our home for $152,000, and while we were excited about the process, the lending experience was a nightmare. Despite being extremely responsive, providing all requested paperwork within 30 minutes, we were repeatedly asked for the same documents over and over. They even required us to write unnecessary explanations for paperwork they already had, making the process frustrating and redundant. As for the home itself, the quality is hit or miss. The paint chips easily, and the flooring feels cheap and low-grade. On the positive side, the stove and oven are nice, but that’s about the best feature. Be prepared to fill in your own sod, as they only provide about 15 feet from the house, leaving large patches of dirt. Overall, the experience felt unnecessarily complicated, and the home quality doesn’t fully match expectations. Would I buy from Lennar again? Probably not. ... More

This was my first and likely last experience with Lennar. Our sales agent (Christian) was only looking to make a quick sale and I unfortunately did not realize this until it was too late. He became unresponsive to concerns after we signed our initial contract. The Lennar concierge (Del) was not professional and bother line rude. It took longer than necessary to have our concerns addressed after our inspection and walk through. This was purchased as a rental property and we had planned to buy another property but have since changed our minds given the experience. The only positives in this whole experience was our Lennar mortgage loan officer (Brianna). She was an angel. Also the customer service agent (Jose) who did the final walk through was polite and kind Lennar needs to teach their employees that customer service does not stop with the home purchase, but rather begins after the sale has been made. I don't plan to recommend Lennar (especially not the team that worked with us) to family and friends. ... More

Lack of communication and professionalism. once the home is sold no one will reply to you and answer questions

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

Honestly for a new home it wasn’t the worst but I definitely had to stay on top of things after moving in. They missed a bunch of stuff. The contractors they use are garbage. When putting in tickets to get things fixed that they messed up on or didn’t do it’s like pulling teeth.. had to put multiple tickets to get things done. Horrible customer service. Even the guy who is suppose to take care of things talked to me like I didn’t know anything and I had to put in another ticket just to get him to fix it.. they ruined my lawn and only half fixed it and told me they weren’t going to fix it after it was there fault to begin with.. told me to water it more when the grass was already dead.. in stage 3 water restrictions and gave me a 900$ bill cause they wouldn’t just fix the problem. I’m still pretty pist about it.. ... More

nothing come with the house

We had a great time finding a home that was almost completed with Damon. After that we talked with a few good finance people to get the loan paperwork done and approved. Our home buyer conciere we only had one conversation with him and couldnt get ahold of him for anything really. We did have a few issues with the home and it took many tries to get things fixed for us and some things i just had to take care of myself because i was tired of trying to keep up with the constant follow up on warranty things.

It was not clear who address your issues to because I was constantly told that’s not my department. I didn’t have a pleasant experience with financial group with Lennar. It’s an unwanted experience for me and I am glad it’s behind me.

Overall Homebuying experience with Lennar has been a "nightmare". First they would not put in the right outside light like "every other house" on my street has, they told me there was a blue print change but if you go through the neighborhood you will see that my house and only 1 other has NO outside light like all the other houses. Then the gas leak that I had to find and had to have the gas company come out to fix. Then the water is running and the water company is charging me an arm in leg because the metor was broke. Now the sprinkler system is leaking and Lennar keeps sending out workers that DONT speak english to fix but its still an ongoing problem.............the list just keeps going. Oh and I am disabled so go figure!!!!!!! ... More

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

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.

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.

It has been issues and issues over and over again since 2 months ago. 1 month before closing…

- 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. ...

Lennar rushed me into a home that wasn’t ready to be moved into. Everyday I see more and more things that should’ve been completed before I moved in. luckily I still have a year left to get things corrected, but it should’ve been ready to go before I closed. I’ll know not to purchase with Lennar again in the future

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.

Our home closing was pushed three times, home hadn't passed final city inspection yet when we moved in, sod work, when we finally got sod, is shoddy at best. The whole experience was terrible, and I wouldn't do it again or recommend it.
