Lennar Reviews in Tacoma, WA

At the beginning of our build, we were told that we would have a walk-thru during the foundation, rough phase and it not only didn't happen but was offered to view a like home rather than ours. The intent is to walk OUR home, not someone else's. On the day of orientation, we were reminded that it wasn't a time to find issues with the home but rather to get acquainted with the home's features. When we were told about our final walk-thru, we were told this was to review only items that we found that were apparent issues during the orientation. The experience felt more like a used car lot than a trusted builder as we weren't allowed to go through the home to avoid issues after we moved in. Painting and caulking inside and out seemed more like an amateur rather than an experienced painter, this is not to mention the poor trim work, which can make or break a poor or even quality build. We have owned multiple spec homes over the years and this has got to be one of the worst in quality and experience. ... More

Not enough information is provided.

The materials and majority of the workmanship is subpar at best. I was expecting more from Lennar as I have been in previous developments they have done and didn't see or hear about the issue I am dealing with. When you do get someone to take care of warranty work - they hack and slash it.... instead of correcting flaws the right way, very disappointing to say the least.

My floor boards are coming up and my oven wasn’t hooked up correctly and it took 2 weeks to find out from Lennar we have to call the manufacturer for it to be fixed. My hvac went out about 4 or 5 times because it wasn’t level and the coils didn’t set right. We been in this house 2 months.

They build too fast so you end up needing too much fixed. Time consuming and stressful

Had a good perception about Lennar and liked the model home better than the community adjacent to Lennar. Sales experience was fine however effort to work with Lennar financing to avail credit did not materialize as the mortgage person was working from a view that with a 7k credit how can another lender match Lennar's financing. In the end I didnt use Lennar and credit was useless. Next comes the day of new home orientation, so many issues were identified 6 days prior to the home closing that I even thought of backing out of the transaction due to low confidence if this is what I am seeing, who knows what is the quality of the work which is not visible. Furthermore, AC and Fridge were on backorder and I was told will be provided by closing. Fast forward 7 weeks, AC is installed but still working with a replacement fridge with Lennar failing to confirm a date. While fixing the defects labor worked and then Lennar failed to clean the house upon closing. Despite repeated messages it was not cleaned and I end up paying Molly Maid over $400. Next is the time to lodge first warranty issue, the process was followed, all documentation provided yet it was a merry go round. I guess due to high demand the quality is compromised and its not a usual way of business by Lennar! At the time of writing this review I am still trying to figure out how to escalate my issues for resolution as I have serious communication issues with my assigned representative during warranty period. I hope with housing market starting to cool off, Lennar will have more time and strive to do better to improve overall customer experience. ... More

When I first toured the townhomes I was very impressed. My mom has a Lennar home in Reno and it was a very well built home. One of the first things I was told when I started asking questions was that I would be able to put AC in my townhome once I took possession of it. Well that is not the case. The Lennar board of directors said no middle units only end units can get it and now the current board is saying no to middle units as well. Many of us feel like we were lied to about this. 2nd the home was WAYYYYYY over priced and when the appraisal came in 41K under asking Lennar told me to either wait 2 weeks for another appraisal, put up the cash or walk away. I had no choice because my house was sold to put up the cash or I’d be homeless with 2 cats. I told them to lower the price and they said no they would just love on to the next person on the list. Then the workmanship on this place is sub par. Flooring was buckling the day I moved in, the gate was breaking, daylight coming though my front door, vinyl was torn and used glue to “fix” it, exterior paint was poorly done with lots of white spots all over the community, caulking used to “fix” spots outside and in the corners of the drywall. It’s been 3 months since I moved in and my front door still hasn’t been fixed even though I brought it up on my walk through. ... More

Very difficult to get questions answered. Need to figure out myself to deal with several associates to get issues resolved. Spent lots of time to find mail box key. Buying a house should be easy like before dealing with only one agent; all issues got resolved quickly and effectively. ONE STOP SHOPPING makes life much easier . My worst house purchasing. Avoid!
