Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

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.

I just want people to make sure they do the inspection correctly and not to sign until everything is fix. Especially the floor.

Very disappointed and dissatisfied with how my signing and how I was treated threw that process.

I’ve been watching the market for years. My family left me with pets, so I couldn’t choose an apartment. I had to move in the next two months. I looked at preowned homes, but didn’t find anything that didn’t need a tremendous amount of fixing. So buying a new house seemed like a great idea. The rep at the Neighborhood was great. He listened to what I liked and he knew the products very well. He was patient and even allowed me to visit a second time. he chose the right house for me. Going through the loan process was a mess. I was told only to speak to two people. End up getting contacted by multiple people. So I had the fear that I might’ve been scammed at one point. The loan officers didn’t communicate with the builders that I was approved and was ready to close. The builder didn’t have the house ready for me to move in. I was able to pick up my key,after waiting for someone to come to the office. I was there at the right time. But nobody was in the office.So none of the blue tape issues were ever resolved. I spent another two weeks leaving the house open, so that the builder could still have people come in to fix it. but with every visit they would do other damages. Whoever installed the carpet, tossed all the trash up on the closet shelves. None of us saw that trash up there until after I moved in. Some of the issues I pointed out on my blue tape walk, still haven’t been fixed. I even submitted it on the builders web request. I haven’t heard anything in response to it. I even spoke to the builder and he said he would come back and fix them. I haven’t seen him. The issues have not been fixed and he never responded back to my text message. It’s been over two weeks. So instead of enjoying the fact that I bought my first house, I was stressed with possibility of fraud, and how am I going to get these other issues in the house fixed. I pretty much believe the builder and the HOA rep have just forgotten me. And rather than being a squeaky wheel, I’m just trying to work with it or fix it myself. I like all the energy upgrades that were done. But it’s very obvious that the house was built in a hurry. There are a few errors in the workmanship that should’ve been caught by the builder and fixed before anyone even stepped in the house. Trees were planted, I was told I would pick a type of tree. That didn’t happen. I was surprised they were renewed. But the guys had trouble closing my gate with the sod in place, and they messed up my gate. I couldn’t open it. The support post was overlapping the gate after they left. The sod process was ok. But the weeds are still growing through the dead sod. Summer heat makes it hard to maintain the sod. I informed the builder on day one I want xeriscape. The sod could of been laid differently. Also would of had a chance of living. I do not encourage anyone to work with Lennar. It was very obvious that most of the process is disorganized and some of the people do not have pride in their work or were not trained to know what they need to know, to succeed. ... More

The entire experience was unpleasant. We have also had several big water leak problems. The warranty may cover the problems but does not cover lost wages or other expenses due to the issues. Highly recommend better quality control. They build them so fast that they miss a lot of things.

The home buying experience was not pleasant. Our salesman was good, but when we had to deal with construction, things took a turn for the worse. This isn’t our first home, so we knew the process. When we pointed out flaws or issues, we were told, “this isn’t a custom home.” I wasn’t asking for one, but I was asking for quality work to be done. It doesn’t need to be a custom home for the workmanship to be up to par. The first woman that was assigned to us for quality control check was extremely unprofessional. She was rude and condescending, and when we would point out an issue, all she would say was, “that’s in spec.” Our salesman profusely apologized after witnessing everything, and after we spoke with management, we were provided with someone new for the next walkthrough. The new gentleman was very knowledgeable and professional. But even he had a hard time when we dealt with the construction supervisor who was unprofessional and unwilling to help. It took another conversation between our realtor and management to get things fixed. And this was all after we were moved over to a different house because of all the issues in the first one. Since then, the warranty people have been great. Whenever we put in a warranty repair request, it is handled quickly and there is always someone who follows up to check the quality and ask if we need anything else. ... More

nothing come with the house

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

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.

There's a lock of pride in the quality of the workmanship. Very dirty home upon closing. Random nails sticking out of home and poor masonry job. I inherited projects in this new home to fix up what wasn't done. Garage has holes cut into sheetrock for the garage door. Just looks tacky. Floorplan is amazing, yard was fully sodded and beautiful. Customer service rep did an amazing job getting our punch sheet done in our walkthrough! I'd defiantly work with her again, she was on our side in this process!!
