Lennar Reviews in Denver, CO

Over promise and under deliver. Poor response to issues.

The beginning of my experience was great! However, after moving in I’m so disappointed in response to issues! I have a roof issue and I’ve been waiting almost 4 months and it is still not resolved. I’ve had to contact corporate and I’m hoping the man I’m dealing with will help! I was told I bought a production home!! Yes, but I expected quality!

Each day is a discovery of so Erving else not working correctly, having to deal with rude contractors, or experiencing an issue with trying to get resolve a repair that’s been “fixed” poorly. Also, this lot is way too close to other neighbors. When a contractor friend of mine stated, “when someone pays over half a million dollars for a home, they shouldn’t have these kinds of issues”, the response from the Lennar customer service manager, “Everyone is paying that price for these houses”. Does that mean it’s okay the workmanship is awful?

In this area, spend more money with a builder who is known to produce a more quality build. It will be worth it and a better protection of your investment.

Moved in 6-11-20 finding water on basement floor. This issue has yet to be resolved on 10-13-20. Numerous issues continue to manifest themselves.

Purchased a silver leaf, was the only one who did not get a covered patio , was told our fence was going to be finished and never gotten any responses from managers.

Moved in and within 30 days, I noticed the driveway is cracking (not covered under their warranty, but they are ripping out and repouring the other driveways that haven't been sold.. So maybe you'll be lucky) Central Air was mis-wired and needed a service call to wire correctly, took three weeks to come out. Several electrical breakers continue to pop with any type of wind, other homes owners report the same issue. Already had to replace two of the LED hall/bedroom lights having them burnt out and they are not of a bulb replacement style. When they are burnt you'll need to replace the whole fixture. Several spots of poor finish work on the texture coating. Master Bath tile has an air pocket under it and it pops from time to time, reported before closing and never fixed. Still waiting on my kitchen cabinet door to be replaced from closing inspection still has the green inspection tape on it. Rust spots on the front stoop noticed before closing, so they scim coated the surface... now that coating is coming off in patches...since it's concrete it's most likely also not covered with their warranty. Several sprinklers are leaking from their heads up to an hour after shut off. Other homes have same issues. Water ain't cheap here folks.... ... More

The sales associates were absolutely amazing hence the two stars, but that was it. The two months leading to closing on the home, we had miscommunication after miscommunication with the loan team and didn't receive confirmation on our loan into 2 days before closing pending documentation that we uploaded two months prior to closing. After moving in, there were some minor maintenance that needed taken care of and the Customer Care team was quick to address the tasks but prior to a week of heavy snowfall in our area, we attempted to park two sedan cars into the two-car garage and found that (with the elevation of the house) one side of the garage only allowed less than 3 inch clearance from the garage wall and the 7 stairs leading into the garage. After sending numerous pictures to Customer Care thinking this was a silly mistake that a 2 car garage couldn't fit 2 cars, we reached out with hopes that Lennar could narrow the stairs or pivot them to line the back of the garage. After several back and forth, we were told there was nothing they could do about the situation and that it was a common issue in another community. Although this may not be intuitive since you expect that when you purchase a home with a two-car garage, it'll fit 2 cars, please, please, please measure the garage and make sure your vehicle fits into the garage of your Lennar home. This may not be a common issue in the neighborhood as this was completely dependent on the elevation of the home but no one tells you having 7 steps in your garage means you have a 3-inch clearance for that side of your garage. In a state with heavy snowfall (in any place really), you want to be able to park in your garage with more than a 3-inch clearance on each side of your car... Our hopes of upgrading to an SUV is no longer in the picture unless we plan on parking outside which defeats the purpose of buying a home with a 2-car garage. Although we love our home, every time we go into the garage (which is every day), we constantly feel frustration with Lennar for thinking this is ok and not learning from their other communities that had this issue. There's a lot of pent up frustration in this review but we hope to share our experience and hope to deter any other home buyers from having a similar experience. ... More

The home we purchased was one of the model homes. We are very pleased with our home. It was Lennar mortgage company that gave us so much grief.

At the end of the day you are buying a home not a customer experience, but the customer experience was very poor on the sales side and has gone significantly downhill since the last time we purchased a Lennar Home. Missed meetings, lots of changing of staff, surprises on walkthrough day of “oh sales never mentioned that wasn’t included” etc. Overall what is being sold is a great value for a home and I hold that Lennar has great floor plans, but I hope they are able to better shape a positive interaction with its customers in the future in general and in this community, and stay a bit more true to the “everything included”, there are unique factors in the market right now but so much has been stripped out to save a few dollars and appease the corporation and shareholders. ...

Moved into my house with a gas oven but my house was built for electric. Construction manager k ew about it during my walk and guaranteed it wld be replaced by move in day.....didn't happen. My realtor and I called every number for Lennar we could find to get the situation resolved before Christmas dinner. Took three days to finally get it. Customer service was horrible. Can't believe that happened. Manager knew about my issue and stilll went on vacation with his family k owing I had no oven. Ridiculous

closing day ,we just arrive the House was with the open doors ,, the dust was coming in ,, was sad because I was hope a great day for us an it was not, they repair the issues two weeks after closing,, hvac never had air filters,, the Hause was dirt dust everywhere ,, one hole drill in one bath why I dot kwon ?

Not the best workmanship - I had to submit multiple warranty requests with the first few weeks of moving in. Not the best design/Architect. There are simple changes they could have made to make it better like why could not all the houses have porch entry stairs on the opposite sides? This would have made the porch space actually usable. I think they could have alternated 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom houses as much as possible for better privacy - when you have two four bedroom units next to each other, your windows align exactly and you can see each other unless you decide to keep your blinds closed all the time. The closing experience was even worse - they kept giving me wrong closing amount. If I hadn’t paid attention to the numbers, they would have ripped me of almost $10k. ... More

Lennar's motto is "Everything's Included" yes... but... Things that are NOT included: Washer/Dryer, Door/drawer pulls for cabinets, fence, back yard, more than one bare thin coat of paint. During initial conversations we were told that there were closeout specials and that we could make an offer and things would be accepted, this was far from true. During the loan processes we were told that 4% was available, this was also far from true. There were a lot of places where it felt like Lennar made promises that they had no intention of keeping and it very much soured me to the experience. We still went through with the purchase, I'm happy with the neighborhood, but feel that the value for the money simply isn't there. ... More

Customer Care follow up is lacking. my refrigerator needed to be replaced due to interior damage causing my produce to freeze repeatedly. I’m going on two months and I have still not received a replacement or any responses from LENNAR. Several other very simple repairs need to be completed (carpet repairs, electrical panel door latch repair, exterior paint touch up, cabinet door paint drips), but other than virtual meetings identifying the issues, no scheduling repairs or follow have been done. Very dissatisfied with Emily’s failure to return calls or follow up accordingly.

We were placed on the "VIP" list for our home in the volatile Colorado home buying market in November 2020. 48 hours before going under contract on an agreed price, we were told that our signing date was going to be pushed back a few months ( Due to covid of course ) and there would be a 20K plus price increase. We were told by a Lennar employee that the reason for the increase was because Lennar was underselling their homes so they increased prices to generate profits (this employee also stated this to our realtor ). We still continued our purchase despite the increase because if we hadn't, we would have had to start the whole home buying process again and Lennar knew this. On the joyous day when we were able to move into our dream home, we were presented keys to our home that didn't fit our lock. After trying a variety of keys we were given a universal "construction" key to come and go from our new home. When I called two days later to see when Lennar was going to fix this issue, I was told that I needed to call a locksmith. As I write this my solar panels aren't operational but my neighbors who moved in weeks after us has there's working, Lennar failed to install the gas line to our furnace , and we have had a variety of issues that Lennar deflects responsibility elsewhere. At the end of the day, our home is awesome! We haven't moved in 30 years. I never thought I would ever have a home built for our family. Its a beautiful investment. I simply wish our homebuying experience wasn't tarnished with so many unfortunate issues that Lennar doesn't really care about. But why should they, they have their money. I have addressed my concerns with several employees of Lennar, including the president of the Colorado area. I was told by a "customer service manager" regarding the furnace not having a gas line installed that the line was probably stolen. That during construction bandits raid new home construction taking hoses. I told this gentleman that the LENNAR PLUMBER apologized to me stating that it had never been installed and how it passed inspection was baffling. Still the customer service manager stuck to the theft explanation. I did my homework before choosing a Lennar home. I was excited. I thought we went with the best choice. I now wonder what KB, Taylor Morrison, Oakwood, and D.R. Horton's customer service looks like. In conclusion, in all fairness, I would like to think our circumstances are the exception to the norm. With all of the unique issues we've encountered, Lennar hasn't offered the curtesy to make up for their shortcomings. For me it's not about compensation. Its the principle of Lennar living up to their own hype. We LOVE our home and our new community. Our Lennar "everything included" home came with SO much that wasn't listed in the fine print! ...

My experience with my previous home builder was very good. I came here expect ing same or better, but they just dont seem to care once the sale is made.

Our fence is still not done and we aren’t able to complete our backyard landscaping. There is so much mud surrounding our side of the home and our dog keeps stepping on it, bringing mud into our home. They don’t care to address this issue stating it’s in the land developers hands, but Lennar should step up and take care of this. We have a home with a backyard. We should be able to let our dog in and out to do his business, yet we are having to walk him out each time. So inconvenient and so frustrating. It’s like we are living in an apartment but worse. No one will help us. It’s been 2 months and still nothing has been done. ... More

We were so excited about our new home! Until walk through. Finally when it was time to walk through it before closing, we saw that the yard was like a ski slope— the incline was scary steep, and basically not a yard, no grass would grow there. The houses on either side had retaining walls, but not ours. With 3 kids and 2 dogs, this would not work, and Lennar refused to do anything about it, so we did not go through with the purchase and we lost our Ernest money. Horrible experience and so sad

Poor construction quality, cheap materials. Scuff-prone paint, scuffed granite, very low-end appliances, post-closing issues. Definitely do not recommend Lennar.

I bought Lennar Home Second time. Once I moved in the New house. After one month later so many quality issues are appeared in this house. when I did the service request. The Customer service Representative are so unprofessional and they are omitting the reputation of Lennar Home Builder. They are just making the customer upset rather than help them. I recommend all my Friends and relatives not to buy any Lennar Homes in Future. its Quality and services are very low day by day. Investing money to buy Lennar Home is now Powering water on the sand.

The only "good" experience was dealing with the professionalism of the sales and title teams. The mortgage team and the builders after you've closed are by far the worst home buying experience I've had.

From our first engagement with Debra (where she talked to me like a moron who doesn't understand interest rates, despite the fact that I have a master's degree in economics) to our final walk through with Jon (where the construction manager tried to tell me that the cabinets were 'fine' even though one of the doors was the wrong size, a problem I had flagged three times for them), my experience with Lennar was sub-standard! The builder failed to communicate that they didn't have a water meter for our home, so we were stuck living with my parents for a month while we waited. After we moved in the oven and the refrigerated broke, which Lennar employees said was pretty standard. Since moving in ~2 months ago, the HOA has already raised rates while failing to plow the roads or communicate about when certain amenities will be open. It's actually astounding how frequently Lennar bungles what are straightforward parts of their job. ... More

Lennar mortgage was misleading during the application process, the home is built with poor quality, items were stolen out of the home after under contract to buy, lennar mortgage closing agent did not provide the original mortgage note or security instrument for my records. They also got an advance on my security instrument for the full maturity amount and are now trying to hide the money they received from the Federal Reserve bank while still charging me monthly payments. Not to mention I closed with Lennar, so explain why Experian says Eagle Mortgage, and Equifax says American Universal Mortgage.. I'll wait.. ... More

The underwriter ignored us for two weeks. Therefor our loan was delayed by 3 weeks. Closing docs were approved on the day of closing! Horrible. Any issues were not handled right away. I was told the water bill for water for the grass that I do not want on the side of the home would be $30. It was $136! I was told HOA would take over the grass. They did not. HOA is non responsive. Took two weeks to get hold of anyone. Took over a month to set everything us. Horrible experience! I was ripped off on the price too. Same home sold for 17k less and also does not have grass on the side of the home! I do not want the grass. ... More
