Lennar Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

I have paid for stickers to be posted on the bumper of my car to allow me to enter the community after 9 PM three weeks ago and still have not received them. When I ask Lennar representative I get no response. I also at direction of Lennar have requested planting few trees in front and backyards and have not received any response.

The purchasing process and getting the loan was great - except that I have learned from friends who I referred that additional purchasing options could have been shared. Specifically, a buy down option. When I received the keys I sat in front of the home waiting for my husband to walk in with me. While sitting there a man and a woman walked out of the home (obviously left unlocked). The man was tall, but nonetheless, I got out of my car and asked "what are you doing in my home. The man said he was my neighbor checking design features" I tried to report this to several people, but I was basically given a run around. I did not call the police because I did not get the license number of the matte blue tesla. Next - when we did our final walk through we were told that several items would be done before we moved in. The person replacing a window came in as we left. When we actually moved in, SEVERAL of those items were not addressed. In fact they still had tape on them from the walk through. We have been in the home over a month and we finally had someone come out. I have submitted the information on line, even contacted my HOA - who tried to help. I believe part of the issue is that somehow the wrong phone numbers have been put (transposed) in my Lennar account. I complained about this early on when my initial walkthrough was delayed because of 1 wrong number in my phone number. The phone number and/or contacting my by email or phone was never a problem during the financial phases of the purchase. There are also rough finishes on baseboards and paint drips/flecks around the house. ... More

Lack of assistant during sales transaction. Sales person's availability and timely response can be improved. Lack of follow up on questions.

Within the first month had a leak in the home. Loan officer processed paperwork that was out dated

I have yet to receive any follow up from my original walkthrough from closing nearly two months ago. The response has been unacceptable.

I have submitted several issues that need to be addressed and have not received any response from you. When will my repair and maintenance issues be taken care of?

Could be a lot better if the Customer Care personally inspect the actual situation of the issue instead of using the "Visual" check. This way the issue will be corrected immediately and effectively. "Visual Check" step creates more over head expenses and wasting time for Lennar Homes process.

I have run into couple of issues from closing to emergency issues. My closing date have been changed for about 4 times and i have been stranded with my family. My rental and storage payment that was promised was never paid. Additionally, I called several times to report a leakage faucet and no urgency action/response have been taken on it for over 2 weeks and i have to look for a plumber to fix it at my cost, only to received an email stating my warranty has been voided. As at the time of this text, one of the vent is broken and creating noise, i reported it and for the past one week now, it is yet still fixed. Lennar emergency response is very porous. ... More

They promised some thing and they didn’t deliver. work inside of the house is not that great. Quality of the product is not great.

My home buying process was a complete nightmare. Initially the process was quite easy, but as we were getting closer to close escrow, there were a LOT of mistakes made on Lennar's end, lack of communication, and extremely inefficient. The quality of materials used was not the best, and the workmanship was poor. Even when I caught issues that needed to be fixed during the walkthrough, there were several items that were never fixed and I either had to fix them myself or go through the complaint process which prolonged even more. I would not recommend Lennar to purchase a home.

Just make sure when you do your final walk thru, you have an extra person with a good eye to catch the imperfections that you do not see.

This is my second Lennar home purchased, the first purchased before the collapse. I had hoped that the resilient economy and lessons learned from the past that the homebuilder is simply in the business of slamming up a bunch of houses without regard to customer experience. The home is very well designed, and the community is lovely, but from the framing to the wiring, to the plumbing, to the cabinets, doors, and windows, the labor used to construct and/or install finishes in this home are semi skilled at best. I am happy with my home, but know it will need to spend an additional tens of thousands of dollars addressing the builder defects. ... More

Make sure you take your time with your walkthrough. I felt rushed and some issues where never fixed.

Moved in with some issues and also quality of the work are not really well

Buying process was pretty smooth and sales staff was on point and very quick to respond. After closing, the construction and communication has gone down hill. Would strongly consider other builders on my next home purchase. Overall experience was a 6/10.

Sadly, the information from one team to the next gets lost. The client has to constantly remind them of what was told and by whom. Obviously, the client will do it since they are making such an important investment, but the support and guidance provided by Lennnar, especially to first homebuyers, is subpar. Lastly, quality of materials, attention to detail and overall value for the price paid is questionable. There is a general lack of refinement with many details.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was somewhat understandable that their office was limited interacting with their clients; however, it was very difficult getting to them for questions we had while trying to buy and close our house with Lennar. They were always late responding to our emails and phone calls. We had to try multiple times to get the answers we need in order to move on to the next step. During the last few days while closing the house, it was hard to contact them with questions and to find out the status of the closing process. After we moved into our new house, the customer service response to our service requests have been poor, delayed and frustrating. There were many issues we found at the time of final walk-through before we moved in, but only half of the list was repaired by the time we moved in. We found more and more items that required the repairs, but Lennar's response has been insincere and dishonest. They promised that all items we put into the repair list will be taken care of as soon as possible, but until today, they have only managed to repair few things on the list, i.e. 30% of the items in the list. We had to keep asking the same thing over and over until one or two items on the list get taken care of, then no response from Lennar customer service rep. Only a trickery and falsifying promise was given whenever we made requests for the repairs. In addition, the house has so many issues that need the repairs, we were so disappointed on the workmanship and the materials Lennar used to build the new house for the buyers. ... More

The people handling the loan took forever to respond, would not read emails I sent them before asking me for information, information which I clearly stated in the email I sent. Quality control seemed to miss an extremely crooked window, an EV charger that was installed upside down and with a connection that doesn’t work. No Lennar is stating they won’t pay for the adapter or fix the issue. I do not like I could not change the countertop or cabinets, I can’t believe a master bathroom is sold as a tub/shower combo without the option to change it. Didn’t like the very limited options offered by Lennar compared to other builders ... More

When we talked to the new home consultant, it was great. He was very straight forward and answered all our questions. During the first walk through, there were no power so we couldn't test the electricity. The oven was not working; the main bath vent/fan was not working. They were reported and during the second walk through, the oven still was not working; the fan worked but it was out of commission within two days after we moved in. Issues came up rapidly. Light switches not working, oven was still not working, fan/vent was not working. After I reported them, they really took their time to response. I still have outstanding issues that haven't been resolved. When the electrician came by to fix the light switches, even he said the connection were terribly done. Don't get me wrong, the house looks nice, but I am afraid to touch anything in there in fear that one more thing would fair to operate! ... More

Would have liked to have been better informed during the whole process. Structural and design changes were made during the building process that I wish would have been shared with us. Issues addressed were not completed by final walk through. A month into ownership, we feel that some issues were forgotten about.

The sales experience was easy and great! Many promises during walk through and signing- after that ghost town to any issues

Problems keep popping up at this house. We’ve been here five months and I’ve put in probably 15 work orders. The builder slapped this house together without attention to detail or quality control.

Buying process was not horrible. Home has turned out to be built extremely poorly and needs lots of warranty work. Builder also decided to save money by not completing a retaining wall between the properties resulting in 15k in out of pocket expense to resolve eroding steep hill of dirt builder somehow got the city to sign off on. Stay away from Lennar if you want quality for your money.

I honestly purchased the home due to the location but was not happy and am still not happy with all the active repairs having to be completed due to negligence on the builders part. It honestly feels like they just slapped my home together.

We had nothing but radio silence and issues when we were actually going through the buying process with Lennar, however once we moved in, we were taken care of with nothing but white glove service. Anytime we had an issue, or had a repair needed, we were taken care of or fixed up within a week. Crazy to think they were the same company. If only everyone at Lennar operated like the on-site sales team. Thanks to George, Daniel and Klarissa!
