Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

These homes are not tailored to buyers, just to sell, if you expect that they will make even small changes to layout, color or anything for you, to the home, then you would need to go through a different builder, because they don't do that here, my experience is not a good one, so I will not recommend to others.

The whole Lennar team was bad and was not responsive to any of our problems all the materials they use are cheap it’s problem after problem

Build Quality is a 2/10, and that’s being generous. They cut corners and use the cheapest options available. Communication is often short and their staff will not give you a concrete answer about any issues. The contractors leave out a lot of trash, food, and building materials, and when it blows into your yard or property area, they do not care and do not clean it up. The sod/grass they gave our entire community was dead upon arrival and it took them over a month to deliver it when it was supposed to be delivered 5-12 days after closing. Our home was not cleaned prior to our arrival; it had construction dust everywhere, sticky spots all over the floor, and stains in our carpet. These homes are way over priced for the quality they provide. Lennar also tried to deny me my right to a second inspection until my realtor fought with them and showed them the law. If you can, pick anyone other than Lennar! ... More

I recently bought a home with Lennar what started a smooth process quickly went sour.. As expected the lender needed a lot of information and documentation which was fine but as time went on they kept going back and fourth on what they needed even asking for forms that were not available and disregarding the documents I sent that had the information they were looking for although a long process and poor expectations being set I understand it’s a lot to work with but could have been made easier and more coordinated. When I finally closed on the hike after changing the expected move in date twice and doing the final walkthrough the house was a wreck. Mud all throughout the house and walls, a small hole in the wall, caulking removed in large areas, light figure hanging from the ceiling, someone used the bathroom and don’t flush their feces, along with trash laying around the house and more if I’m being honest I thought I was in the wrong house. I was promised the house would be cleaned and the driveway/sidewalk power washed the morning of closing and clearly neither were done. I submitted a claim to have texture redone in two spots and that was done but then was promised the painters would come the following Tuesday. Tuesday came and I’m sure you can already guess what happened. No communication was made or effort to reschedule the paint for the texture and I am still currently waiting. I let them know and got no response. Everything that was promised to me was not received the bare minimum was not received I truly was very unhappy with this experience especially it being my first home. ... More

make sure you are totally happy with all repairs before closing on house. very poor communication between builder and buyer. I will not buy another Lennar home.

I think before closing everything has to check 110% before you hang keys , also once keys are handed any issues should be taking care off ASAP CAUSE IF THATS THE CASE WITH ISSUES INSIDE HOUSE then I think should be a priority to get it fix and not have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get it fix

Absolutely horrible buying experience for my first time buying a home. The list could go on but just know I would never recommend a Lennar home to anyone and I will never purchase one again.

Home has a lot of issues to fix, starting and not limited to essential things as foundation, flooring and walls. Communication has been overall decent, however follow ups has been completed due to some of the first issues reported are still pending. At this time, after 2 months of bought the house, several items to fix are pending.

You'll spend most of the process chasing people for answers, and then you might also get verbally abused by at least 1 Lennar representative. Our initial disclosures were sent within hours of the 3 day requirement passing. We were told that they would extend our closing date (due to reasons on our end), if we paid an additional $3K on the price of our home. They then proceeded to extend the closing date further due to workmanship issues. When we inquired about the additional $3K being removed since now the delays were not due to anything on our end, I was berated by a Lennar manager to the point that I was in tears. He used it all: gas-lighting, guilt-tripping, criticism, etc. My husband took over conversations and also received this treatment. By the end of the conversation, he was assured that while the $3K couldn't be removed, our home would be perfect prior to closing. One major concern of ours was that our kitchen island was more than an inch off from one end to the other, causing it to look obviously crooked. This manager assured my husband that he would see to this being fixed himself. We performed our initial walkthough and the issue hadn't been touched. The warranty representative confirmed the issue was documented both in our inspection and had received attention from management and would be resolved. We get to our final walkthrough, the issue was still not fixed. At the same time, we begin getting pressuring calls from their lender that we need to close the next day or we risk getting charged a fee for each day after. It's crazy to think that they want to haphazardly plan a closing date and give us no time to plan time off from work. You'd think they'd want us to have time to appropriately plan so that we keep our jobs to pay the mortgage we're acquiring. With so little time to plan, my husband and I had to sign for our first home separately. In the end, we were so worn out from the chasing, berating, and pressuring that we decided that we would deal with the island issue ourselves. We are still finding issues that we can only hope they will resolve within our first year living here. If other homes in our area weren't going for so much more than the one's in our neighborhood, we would've went a different route. We'll be sure to be ready to pay more next time instead of working with the shady and unprofessional people that Lennar chooses to employ. ... More

Too much negative parts to highlight. I would just say construction quality and customer service poor

If i didn't need to move i would not have closed on this home. Did the walk through and marked issues. Came back to check the work and they created more issues. Filled 1in gaps with caulk. Cut into siding above where the repair was. Pained over areas of repair outside and the paint does not match. Told us to wait 1 month to see if colors match after a month. Paint still does not match. They said if it didn't match they would repaint the house. Still waiting. Our sod sat on palets for 5 days before they installed. I have watered 2x day everyday as instructed but it is still dead. I WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND LENNAR. The model homes are beautiful but you do not get the same workmanship on your home. ... More

Watch out for the quality of the build. Look at a finished home other than the models.

The only good experience from working with Lennar was our salesman Jarrett. Any time we had a question he would respond immediately respond. Our build was delayed by 5 months which I do not blame Lennar…that was Covid. A week before we moved in we had so many issues and were told by Eddie and the contractor Ming would be fixed before we moved in….a month in new house and nothing was done..had to do warranty claims. Cheap appliances, poor customer service.

I’ve contacted the builders multiple times about a hanging vent and also putting a front door prep hole and nothing just the run around about I’ll get to it and nothing I regret purchasing from y’all everything is cheaply made and designed

Multiple delays during construction, poor communication, terrible closing experience, and many things required to be fixed or replaced- multiple times in some cases. I had a good experience with the actual Lennar seller throughout the process; however, every thing else has been poor.

Purchasing: the house was appraised for 20k less than listed, which is a positive. Our financing representative convinced us to negotiate our offers, until we met at 5k over the appraisal. We later discovered, through our realtor, that she has never seen anyone pay more than $500 over appraisal. We definitely felt swindled. Realtor: The only services she provided were leaving a key available on a lock box, informing us of the discrepancy in appraisal price after we signed, and sending a low-quality video of a walkthrough of the house. We purchased virtually due to distance and work limitations. The effort provided did not justify the 6% Realtor Fee. House: Trash was left scattered throughout the property, including inside. Concrete, grout, liquid nails left on garage floor and driveway, very difficult to remove. Dried grout in guest bathroom sink. Material: Flooring is cheap, bowing in several areas when we arrived. Pending service request as of two weeks at this time. Crooked tile in master bathroom, cheaply thrown together. "Seat" in master shower is slanted enough that products fall occasionally. Transformer in garage was non-functioning, causing doorbell to be inoperable, had to be replaced within first week. Ring Doorbell was not present, had to request install. Outlet beneath kitchen sink only had one functioning outlet. Replaced within first week. X2 shelves missing from cabinets in kitchen. Service request pending for two weeks as of this time. Sticky residue from floor installation throughout hard floor surface. Several spots of flooring missing finish. No vent in pantry. Becomes warm and humid with door closed. Concrete blowout x2 beneath front door. Service request pending for two weeks as of this time. Garage: not insulated, due to being considered "not a living space". Considered "2 car", we have one sedan and SUV that barely fit together. Highest recorded temperature inside was 115, prior to us insulating it ourselves at own cost. Door is not motorized, installed after move-in at our expense. Appliances: Cheap models. Minimal functions. Purchasing Experience: Pressured to close early, with vague threat of "losing out on current model". As inexperienced as we were, we believed it. New Home Owner paperwork/bundle is still not provided to us. HOA has still not communicated with us yet. Pool: Small for relative size of community. Neighboring community (which we were told should not have access) visit daily. Pool secured with simple code. Water murky and trash overflowing on daily basis. Amenity Center: advertised, but nonexistent. Possibility of HOA lack of communication. There is no love in any of these houses, the fixes are cheap, and the company cuts corners on cost at nearly every opportunity. Examples: window screens are no longer included in new constructions. Only 20 ft of sod is provided to homeowners without the sprinkler systems (more must be added at new owners' expense to avoid yard erosion). No gutters are included on any of these homes. I will not be conducting business with Lennar again. I will not refer anyone, who I genuinely care about, to Lennar or any business associated with Lennar. The quality of work resembles an assembly line with minimal to no quality assurance or attention to detail. It is obvious Lennar builds houses as quickly and cheaply as possible and pressures potential customers into purchasing as quickly as possible, leaving no time to notice discrepancies. We were an ideal family for this business model, as we were purchasing from a distance and had not actually seen the house until we were provided with the low-quality video from the realtor. Novice and inexperienced homeowners are the ideal clients for them. ... More

We had a very bad experience with this property. We did online closing and later when we visited, we found the grass Sods completely dead and it was never watered. When enquirer about this with Lennar, they said the property is closed and it’s not their responsibility and also it will not cover in warranty as it’s outside. We also saw cracks in window and a big hole dug in the backyard which we reported and the response was snail paced. Really bad customer service and carelessness on part of Lennar

I would not recommend Lennar. Closing was such a hassle. They pushed my closing date four times. When I closed the house still wasn’t fully complete. They did a horrible job communicating to keep myself abreast throughout the process.

Still having issues. Poor response

The house quality is very different with the model homes. I spoke directly with the site building manager and he said this is Lennar standard quality. He said that just to not wanting to make corrections to poor built quality workmanship and not wanted to hear from the buyer. It seems like Lennar hired a group of builders off the streets and gave them the projects. I have seen many Lennar model homes but none look like the one that i purchased. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I would never advice/suggest/recommend the people around me to go with Lennar. I am willing to speak directly with the officials in the cooperate regarding to my homebuying experience with Lennar. Please contact me. ... More

Do not use this company, attention to detail is lacking, poor quality all around

The workmanship in our home is that of random people doing random tasks they are not competent in. So many little things all over the home. The floors have gaps in some slats and non in the other. The trim work could have been done better by my 8 year old son and he has absolutely no carpentry skills. The answer to every and all mistakes was smearing caulking all over the home. Our back yard constantly floods and holds water from the rain and or neighbors sprinklers. The lack of proper runoff and drainage is ridiculous. If I could rate zero stars I would especially on workmanship and quality.

After this experience with Lennar I would not choose this builder again nor recommend it to another person. I love the neighborhood and the area, but the overall quality of my home and the overall experience has been terrible. It all started with the sales person and then to construction. The only easy part was with finance. I have been here since August 2021 and I am still dealing with work tickets on incomplete or damage items within the home. If more time was spent on workmanship of the home then I would definitely not feel this way. The two CCR people have been nice and friendly, but they are to overwhelmed with their caseload therefore that has also prolonged this whole experience. ... More

I wish I have better review

Unfortunately, the emphasis on quickly building homes and making profits, has impacted the quality of the workmanship and the customer experience. This has also caused long standing repair items to be unaddressed after moving in to the property, which negatively impacts the customer experience.
