Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Work order after work order right after moving in

Family and I chose Lennar due to the growing presence in the SA community. We love our first home, but regardless of being a first time owner or subsequent owner the overall quality of the home is worrisome. From nails in the window frames to missing caulking throughout the home, the house was painted wrong then repainted the correct color with lack of attention to detail, frame can be seen outlined through the sheet rock, slanted window, and nearly every door frame was installed by the world heaviest hammer (broken sheet rock). It’s either move in and get things fixed post closing or don’t move in and lose out on great financing. The only thing that makes up for the lack of craftsmanship were the people who directly work with you. Whether it be the customer care representative who has been there every step of the way, or the construction manager who made sure to point out what flaws were present before the blue tape walk through - taking ownership to handle some of the issues before I could even see them. The mortgage financing team and sales associate were just as awesome. We still have issues to address throughout the home but the reassuring approach from all representatives let us breathe a little and get acclimated to the home. Hoping when we move from this one (potentially using Lennar again) we can have better craftsmanship experience. ... More

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.

The idea of buying a new home opposed to older ones has the great advantage of not to worry about whether the electrical and/or the plumbing systems have to be replaced shortly after buying it. LENNAR Homes are outstanding.

Buy elsewhere. Trust me on this one.

Still having issues. Poor response

Lennar sales, mortgage, insurance and the builder were the worse I've ever dealt with..

This is a 410k house but like 100k. Nothing is even, straight, or symmetrical. You should be ashamed of yourselves for selling this. Also, can we get a translator when someone comes to make touch ups or repairs? Soo far the communication is awful and they leave worse than it started and have no idea what we are saying. This entire house is a disappointment and until it’s fixed I’m recommending no one

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

Time consuming and lack of communication

Build quality was pretty low. House was rushed and it shows. Home was not clean well before move. Sense move in we have been having to get things fixed. The building manager has been very nice and helpful, but does not excuse the fact that the quilty of the home was not was to be expected.

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

There are two out maybe six people I dealt with that knew what was going on. The title people were awful to deal with. The house is great, but can tell it is a track home with the cheaper materials used. A lot of stuff was scratched, broke, not finished when e arrived. Sloppy

Financing people are not the best and sales person was not supportive and interactive

Every aspect of the purchase went very smoothly. I would recommend that you have your own real estate agent as we did. Makes the process very easy.

I have placed in requests for things to be fixed and customer service has been quick to respond. Couldn't be happier.

The female loan officer was a total nightmare. She had no clue how to talk to us and couldn't explain what she wanted.

Lennar has a well-rounded sales and closing team!!!

My experience wasn't good. This was my second home that I purchased and the construction side of it was a mess. The contract workers gave this builder a bad name. The contract workers did a poor job and made a lot of mistakes. On the financial side that was excellent and easy.

I was provided a list of inclusions that were inaccurate, several items were not included. I am confused by the everything included tagline because I see that everything is only included if you are an investor. Ironically the items I was told you can’t get were included on the investor homes. Also, I have had two warranty requests and although I was told everything would be repaired only a couple things have been with no word on the other items. It appears employee turnover is part of the problem.

Terrible home inspection and after home purchase experience. Lennar construction managers are all promise non work. They flat out lie. Terrible home ownership. Lennar’s attitude is don’t care, it’s not my home, it’s your home now and your problem

We've been in our new home for about 6 wks now. It's a nice home, but the process was riddled with slip-ups, pushbacks, and several missed deadlines that caused much anxiety, frustration, and cost a few extra thousand dollars that was not in the budget. The sad part is...I can't even say it was worth all we went through. Firstly, I do NOT recommend Lennar Mortgage; secure your funding elsewhere if you can. They made ridiculously simple mistakes and oversights that pushed out our closing (after we were SPECIFICALLY told this wouldn't be the case). Poor response communication, unless they needed something and then you were hounded for it. Secondly (and probably the most disappointing) is the poor workmanship. It doesn't matter how good the materials are going in if there's no attention to detail. Door handles are already loose, the 'luxury' vinyl flooring has gaps and is beginning to come up in some places, bowed walls and doorways that look like you're in a funhouse. We won't even start on the paint. This is NOT what you'd expect from a builder who's been in this business as long as Lennar has, nor is the quality and craftsmanship is what you'd expect in a 350K home...not by a longshot. Finally, the lack of ownership or concessions for issues encountered in the process. At some point builders need to stop blaming the pandemic for their shortcomings. But that was a very common refrain from everyone at Lennar. I can understand a delay in materials or inspections, but you don't get a pass for shoddy work or rushing at the last minute to get it done. I'm sure we'll continue to discover things as we continue to unpack and settle in. I'm not looking forward to what lies ahead. If I had to do it all over again I would not choose Lennar as my builder. We were in a tight spot and on a deadline to find housing, and we thought we were getting a good deal. But the buyer's remorse is VERY real. I feel somewhat lucky that it wasn't the nightmare some other builders put their clients through, but it's been a very opportunistic experience. To their credit, most of the people in the process were great, very likable. But at the end of the day you're buying a house, not a relationship with them. My one piece of advice if you choose them as your builder: Make sure you're visiting the build site regularly and communicating things you see as an issue to the site managers. I took a lot of things for granted toward the end and that's on me. ... More

Very professional and satisfied with our lennar home thank you

If buyin the home traditionally the company is good. However, we bought our home from out of state. The title company is horrible and does not do their job until it’s either very close or past due. I would rate them 0 out 5. Nothing got done with them unless I drove 1200 miles and walked into their office. The people who sell the home are great but once the home is purchased they aren’t very interested in helping with questions. The financial team is great. They will ask for everything in a timely manner and always do their best to answer the questions or point you in the right direction. The maintenance team for warranty is overall not the best. For our property the main maintenance guy does try but is overwhelmed with lack of communication from Lennar. Every time someone comes out to fix things in the home they come at very odd hours and never seem to know why they are there or have attitudes of how they have to fix the home. We were encouraged to close on the home earlier than expected, by the title and final inspection. Make sure you take pictures of everything and make sure it all gets into the report. They will tell you that don’t worry about it, it’s small we can fix that very fast and indeed won’t fix it. Our home has a lot of minor cosmetics but it’s been a hassle to get them fixed once the home was purchased because we trusted Lennar but don’t make that mistake. If I would of bought the house from inside the state I’m sure they would be a better company. ... More

The people at Lennar are great! And for the most part the home is good. But some of the workmanship and quality of materials is quite cheap. The paint especially.
