Lennar Reviews in Seattle Bellevue, WA

We had issue with the nails/staple sticking out and that was promptly fix. However, we reported the issue about the garage door paint which is not properly painted and also the host being outside the gate for the back yard. They’re still Otis taking and we’re almost here for 2 months

I have a good experience with Lennar , they have a good customer service.my new house foundation is well done .the house is so energy efficient but so expensive on the current market

Wish they would have done more thorough quality check.

Very Bad experience

I had a great home buying experience, the process was so smooth and seamless. the Construction Supervisor Brett is an awesome person, always present and ready to help. even after moving in he is always near by monitoring the other home builds and always ready to answer questions and help when asked. I am happy with the quality of work in our home as well, i have not had anything stand out yet. the Tough market was a bit of a negative factor, we had been first on the list for the desired Lot for almost 4 months but when the time came we had to sign a contingent offer, which allowed Lennar to bump us if some one came with out the contingency. So we felt pressured to risk the deposit and remove the contingency. In the end we are very please with the process, the home, and the staff. Thank you Lennar Maple Hills Team ... More

No need to take a real estate agent. The listing was very misleading.They have their own sales team and pay no part of other agents fees. Real estate agents don't work for free. With an additional agent fee to be paid for by the purchaser was the one downfall and a large extra expense.

We have built two other houses in the past and I will have to say that Lennar has had more issues we have needed repaired then any other home we think perhaps there needs to be better people doing the work to make sure these issues don’t arise or perhaps longer building time. We did also notice that a few houses that were built after us had upgraded stove and ovens which we felt we should of had as well. We do love the layout of our home and our community as well. Just wish some things were more consistent.

It’s a sellers market. Lennar has an advantage on making the closing price higher than the asking price. It also doesn’t accommodate the buyers on any choices, color, materials, design, etc., But this builder is efficient in construction and keeps quality it promises. Its customer services seems lack behind and disorganized: providing confusing and wrong information so the buyers have to work hard to connect utilities and local services. The company runs the HOA (or no official HOA yet) seems not yet functioning so be crossed fingers on any HOA related issues.

Sales team was great, Financing, Heather was great, closing communication was lacking. Overall, we love the house and the neighborhood.

Some finishes are not excellent but the price paid was even raised during the purchase. The experience as buyer: very poor The house: normal, average The price: very high

This is my first house that I bought. I saw the model house and fell in love with it. Magnolia is a well designed house. The price is great, so is the community and its a feel good house for most part of it. However, they have cut corners where they shouldn't have and that's what left me in bad taste. Two things in particular a) I was forced that I can not have a realtor of my own since my realtor didn't come along with me when I went to see the model house. That was an immediate set back of $5000-$7000. When I pressed for details and why I was not being allowed to have a realtor representation I got a very mushy mushy answer. So, basically the lack of transparency bothers me. b) About 100 sq ft of my lawn is totally unusable because they did not leveled the strip of land by the fence. If they would have been considerate to customer's need they would have spend a few extra hours and a few extra bucks to get that strip of land leveled. Now, I will have to shell $7000 from my pocket to get that leveled if I want to use it. Some of the fixtures are also pretty substandard. For example, the knobs of the gas stove are made of plastic. WHO INSTALLS PLASTIC PRODUCTS NEAR A FIRE GADGET ?? The fences are also an example of low quality workmanship. these small but crucial things can not be realized when you are doing the first walk of the property. It gets apparent when you live and experience. I am having a great experience overall but I do feel that from a customer obsession point of view Lennar should reconsider on these small things which ain't going to slow down their projects or increase their project cost but it will certainly enhance the customer experience and will take Lennar ahead in the real estate game. ...

Most materials and products are nice, not typical builder grade. Much of the craftsmanship is also well done. In our house the prep on the millwork was very poor, not the same as in the model homes. Many repair attempts were poorly executed. Unfortunately it is a poor representation of the rest of the house however it is highly visible and runs through the entire home. It’s a shame since our experience from start to finish was mostly very good. Rockstars were Katie in sales and James in lending. Too bad things finished up with Jennifer in cust service, she gets 2 thumbs down. We didn’t see that coming. ... More

When we moved into the house we received a faulty dishwasher, which we were told would be repaired not replaced. Also the kitchen flooring needed to be replaced because of water leakage and all this took forever and highest level of escalation. Also in four months I can see the outside paint already chipping from window rims. Seems like Lennar has compromised a lot on using quality appliances and products and not done a proper quality check before handing over the house. Though Bret was still helpful with few things and that is my reason for still giving 3 stars despite multiple issues.

Details like the microwave placement were overlooked. It's a real problem for shorter people. No studs behind the drywall where the TV is supposed to hang. Also, we've had a lot of plumbing issues. Our powder room flooded causing major damage to the house.

Be sure you are totally aware of what you will get going in to avoid disappointment. Closets are outfitted cheaply with coated wire that will need to be replaced sooner than expected. Lennar placed houses without regard for privacy, butting patios and windows directly opposite one another and leaving new owners with challenges. Simple mirror image placement would have solved the issue, but there was no thought about that by Lennon. Similar lack of thoughtfulness was shown in our master bathroom design, where the door was positioned to open directly into the wall with the towel rack, result easy for Lennar inconvenient for home owner. Generally the process is get the houses up quickly but without thought! ... More

Lennar has not lived up to the standards promised with upkeep in the community. They were very happy to take money for the creation of an HOA, but there are no actualized benefits (i.e. common area upkeep, community monument), and so the community looks 'cheap' compared to those in the neighborhood. There are pros and cons to buying a cookie-cutter home, and just make sure that you are aware before committing your savings!

Quality of workmanship & materials - this is just my first year, so place for the first year looks good. But who knows what will happen after few years. Value for the price paid - Little bit more pricey for the same area. They have template homes and they keep the same plan across multiple communities, so if you are looking for one in a kind of home, please stay away. Trustworthiness - Oh man where should I begin, in my home orientation I was told that any issue that you will find will be resolved. We commit to our product and all that blah blah blah. Once we moved in, even for the smallest issue, I have to keep on asking them again and again to fix. Sometimes even after confirming the appointment, they do not show up. They just don't understand that we work as well and we are taking a day off or sometime off so that someone is at the house for the appointment but even after that they don't even show up and no response that why they did not show up or anything. Responsiveness to Issues - Once you move in and find some issues, it will take months to resolve them and you have to keep reminding them again and again. One of my issue took 6 months to resolve. ... More

A mixed review -- I'll break it apart to the home buying experience and the post-move in periods. The home buying experience was relatively easy and Lennar's financial team did a fantastic job helping me as the customer understand what's included, what's not, and facilitating all the paper work. The inspections were all ok, we had a 3rd party home inspector check it out and everything seemed ok, no big hang ups. The post-move in period is a different story. After we moved in, we've had a series of problems that are all a part of the warranty, but it's been non-stop and a real pain to have contractors coming in and out of the house. To provide a few examples, the dishwasher wasn't operating, the furnace and hvac had all sorts of problems that led to water damage in the ceiling and the inconvenience of not having AC during summer heatwaves. I did not expect issues of this severity with purchasing a home that is over a million. ... More

Mortgage is one department that needs to be more open, consistent and concern about us, customers. Having our mortgage internally helped us to be on track with our timelines though. We moved with incomplete parts of the house, supply issues were noted from the builder. Overall, we still love our location and we had a smooth turnover and closing.

I had good experience starting from initial deposit till closing. However I found issues with quality of workmanship and materials which were resolved to some extent but not fully. Other downside was experience with Lennar mortgage and did not had expected experience. Other improvement required is speed in response to issues created for maintenance requests which are part of warranty.

Overall nice finishes in the house. Service team response is great. Frigidaire appliances are of low quality and I am fighting with Frigidaire even to register a service request. Lennar should not install Frigidaire appliances.

A few things to list 1) Paint contractors miss many spots and the exterior paint has weak spots where they spaced the spraying 2) Faucets in downstairs bedroom and master bedroom leak onto counter if left at a lower valve setting. Lennar stated that this was within spec. Having to buy faucets that actually are long enough to not flood bathrooms. Should not be buying things to fix Lennars issues. 3) Floors are starting to gap and flex quite a bit. Downstairs laminate floors. 4) Biggest issue: Front driveway was poured before a deep freeze in the winter. Contractor did not adequately cover the driveway (used plastic as opposed to a large insulated blanket) Driveway has been flaking away and dissolving due to improper pour. Have been working with Lennar for more than 4 months to resolve issue. I'm certain they will do nothing. ... More

With in a month I could see dry wall cracks, cracked wood.

The carpet quality has gotten worse.House construction has lot of issues.No proper response from the lennar service desk team.overall not recommend.

Lennar builds beautiful homes. But attention to detail appears to be a loss. We have been in our home for 4 months and immediately started a list of repairs needed. We have only notified the builder of two repairs that are priority at the moment. Our experience with having our concerns addressed has been very poor. We will usually get a response within a couple days but contractors are scheduled on what’s convenient for them and not the homeowner. We are told what day they will be out but it often dies not work with our schedule. That means contractors are coming to our home and entering our yard with no one here. Most of the time we have to reach out to Lennar to get an update. Often times, we don’t even know if the contractors came out. We have a patio that is sloped towards the house leaving rain water to run down the patio, towards the house and down the foundation. It’s been a couple months since we first notified Lennar of the concern and over a week since the contractors were supposed to be here but we don’t even know if they came out. Still waiting for an update. We also notified Lennar of some carpet defects a couple months ago and have yet to have anyone inspect the product. Lennar is a large home builder and I’m sure they have a lot of customer repair inquiries, as would be with any new homes, but the customer should be informed and updated regularly. I work in construction as a project manager and I know the importance of communication. It makes a big impact on the customer experience. We still have a fairly large list of repairs needed and we are concerned with when and how they will be taken care of. With all of that said, I would buy another home from Lennar, just be prepared to be very patient. ... More
