Lennar Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

Shortly after move in we discovered that our master shower had two shower heads installed too close together to be useful. Reported to customer care and they admitted it was a mistake but refused to move the misplaced shower head. Went up the chain with no success. Then our sales rep got involved, and eventually emailed us that Lennar would correct the mistake. On contacting him to find out when the work would be scheduled we were advised that Lennar had changed their minds and were again refusing to correct their mistake. No reason given, just a solid refusal. I asked Michelle Tucker (sales rep’s boss to come and take a look and explain why she was refusing repair, but never got any further communication. Worst experience we’ve ever had with any of the 10 new homes we have bought over the years from various builders. DO NOT TRUST LENNAR TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! ... More

Just want to sell you the house. Poor response to quality issues

Many issues from the time we moved in. Poor quality all around the home. Many things needed to be replaced right away. Would not recommend or buy another lennar home after this.

Get everything Lennar promises to you in writing.

Sales person was outstanding. Construction manager was the big down fall. Would not fix what was promised.

Still have blue tape from QA/QC department all ovef my walls. CM never took notes during final walk-through and failed to do any of the punchlist items. Window clips were thrown on my counter and not installed (told me they were a courtesy and not required). Lied to my sales rep about insulation over garage. Outlets don't work. Paint overspray everywhere. Weather stripping I can see day light through. Metal Studs, vs wood. Copper clad aluminum wiring. $500mm for a cheaply built.

It has not been a good experience. Prior to moving many issues were noted during walkthrough and not fixed. Over a month since I moved in and still complaining about things and some yet to be fixed

Third time’s a charm. If we hadn’t a realtor keeping us updated with weekly videos, we would have wasted two trips to Florida. The closing department and your contract ( I understand ) leaves little room for the customer. Our first closing walk through had no roof tiles delivered / installed, no brick pavers front and back, unfinished kitchen, no refrigerator, unfinished bathrooms, pool and of course no landscaping. After the second request date for a walk through and closing, things still not finished, we simply said we’re not coming till you complete the house. This was on a Friday, the closing dept. said let’s see what gets done over the weekend before we call it off. We repeated “we’re not coming 1250 miles to find this mess of a house. Total time from 1st walk through date of mid June to mid August ( 3rd walkthrough date) when our home was mostly completed, we drove from Michigan. My advice to your company, pay attention to your boots on the ground floor not your management in there office trying to shove unfinished homes down the throats of customers when obviously not ready. Check for yourselves, ... More

The worst home purchase I’ve ever had(2 previous). Went to walk through and there were numerous issues with the home. Was told that if I don’t close once they received the certificate of occupancy I would lose my deposit. It been almost 2 months since I’ve closed and there is still incomplete work. Too much back and forth with their subs.

During the entire buying and building process communications from Lennar were non existent. Lack of choices in building upgrades. Lennar cut most all extra's including lighting, Very poor excuse for a custom builder. "Everything included" is a joke!

Waste of money pay too dollars and the house is built with the cheapest materials. Sales people have no interest after ur contract is signed don’t even make sure you have everything that is supposed to come with your home. Just horrible.

I am a first-time home builder and was not sure what to expect. I was always told that Lennar was a great company, but my experience here certainly hasn't reflected that. No one who pays what we pay for on these homes should be forced to put in warranty tickets on damaged or substandard materials in a brand-new home and then wait months for replacements or repairs.

We moved hoping to have a peaceful retirement home. While our Salesperson was very knowledgeable and did her best with purchasing, Construction was terrible. Our cabinets were installed crooked, cracked, broken due to lack of skill which caused our Stone to be unlevel. Our hood vent never showed up so they borrowed one from a different model that didn't fit. Our light fixtures were cracked and broken along with our bathroom mirror and we had a broken window for 4 months. Our Ring Doorbell was installed broken, our Pentair Motherboard for our pool was installed broken, our AC condensor fan was installed broken, our garage doors were crooked and wouldn't close or lock, our tree in front yard was planted with broken support and leaning, we had a hole in our lanai. Our construction mgr Tim was suppose to handle alot of these items but he lied, didn't return phone calls, and avoided us. We've been in our house 2 months and still have unresolved issues. I will say Warranty is the only thing that's keeping us SANE ! ... More

The house is beautiful, but I have to place about 10 service request to fix different kind of issues like drywall holes in the bathroom, celling and others areas, electrical connections, stucco issues around the house, paint issues inside and outside of the house, cabinets, celling, about 30 broken paver’s. The inside house are very dirt. When we do the walk trough one week before closing Lennar bring me promise to fix the issues before they bring me the house and nothing happens I have to place the service request because they don’t do anything.

If at all possible do not closing at end of fiscal year. Things were too rushed and done so poorly. Would consider not using Lennar again if we had other options.

The concept is good but the poor quality and poor responsiveness of the construction crew is frustrating. I have I have been in the house for approximately 4 months and still need work done.

Beginning with so much promises and still waiting for them to be fulfilled. So much stuff that is not done ✅ correctly done without care nor Quality there’s some stuff so bad that are already falling apart and we haven’t even being in the home for 5 months, starting from bad finishing job on cabinets, walls with horrible cracks, caulking and pain horribly done throughout the home, ships in shower bath floor. There’s lots of things that could being done right the first time before is given to the homeowner and run a right and good inspection, so Quality of products and workmanship they use is horrible very poor, inexperience who do not care about providing decent quality or good quality; horrible job in lots of stuff that every homeowner expects to be good quality. Builder claims top Quality, best and biggest throughout the US, but after this they prove otherwise very poor customer service, horrible materials and workmanship “very poor quality, ” Home not turn in or given to standard. ...

Buying with Lennar was a nightmare. From start to finish the process was a circus. By the end of this adventure I was ready to pull the plug and start back over with a new builder. 100% would not recommend Lennar.

The process started out good, we were working with Ali initially. They transferred out case to Heather H. And everything fell apart. She continually called to ask fir documents that were sent 2 to 3 times already, still I was patient, until she contacted us on the day of closing asking for paystubs and w2's. Now keep in mind these documents were sent at the very beginning of this process. I asked her if this was normal to ask for these things on day of closing. In my mind everything would have been in order by then. At this point, they transferred us back to Ali G. We were told we needed 18 thousand more dollars to make this happen ( now we are day after closing). We also needed 6 thousand additional dollars for reserves. Up until this point, I had never heard the word " reserves". We were guaranteed to get that 6 thousand back after closing. I was told to get a wire transfer from a family member and that money would be returned to us about 2 weeks after closing. I borrowed money with the full intent to pay them back immediately. Well, as the days went by, I checked in on this and we were only getting back 3400 of the 6 thousand reserve dollars. Lennar did not hold true to 80% of the lies that they told us. It was a very frustrating and disapointing experience. My husband and I both missed work on 2 different occasions when we were told we were closing. I think I cried more during that time then i ever have, it was awful. After the closing date, we were told that this would not happen if we didn't come up with 24 thousand dollars. I had already bought furniture, had plans to have family down. You can understand how upsetting this would be. I don't know what Heather H. Was doing but she certainly wasn't doing her job. As a senior loan officer for Lennar, I would expect some professionalism and knowledge from her. She left out critical details, lost documents over and over again and basically steered us in the wrong direction the entire time. I really b would not recommend Lennar to anyone I know. That being said, I love the house, it's beautiful. Just go with another mortgage lender, DON'T USE LENNAR. ... More

I am licensed real estate agent, and this purchase is the worst experience I experienced in over 30 plus years in the business. I worked with Lennar previously and things did go smooth, but not this time. Things that went wrong : 1) I had a contingency to be respected. But it was ignored in the contract 2) house completion date that I was told was moved forward by 3 months which was not convenient at the time 3) steering toward “ Preffered lender”, which at first failed to communicate properly. Then, the “ best deal “ on mortgage rate was unacceptable, but the management did come thru here as they allowed outside lender at the last moment to step in 4) HOA document took a very long time to provide , and only got provided months after contract signing 5) walk through was done with no running water. This was communicated too late to cancel it. 6) items at walk through that were inoperable were put on the repair list, but not repaired prior to closing 7) repairing these items through Lennar warranty is proving to be difficult. ...

We had the worst experience with the lennar sales team and construction crew. I would never recommend lennar to anyone. It’s suppose to be fun and exciting purchasing a home ours was the compete opposite.

My first-time home buying experience with Lennar was extremely disappointing, and I feel obligated to warn other homebuyers especially first-timers before they commit to this builder. From the beginning, communication was a major problem, especially from both the loan officer Nick and the construction manager Nick. As a first-time buyer, I expected guidance, reminders, and clarity throughout the process. Instead, I constantly had to remind them of important deadlines and follow-up on documents that they should have been managing. Their lack of communication created unnecessary stress and confusion from start to finish. The situation became even worse when we were told our home would be ready for signing before the end of the month. Based on Lennar’s own timeline, I informed my landlord that we would be moving out by the end of the month. But sure enough, we were delayed from our original closing date which was NOT due to the home not being ready, but entirely because of the loan officer Nick’s failure to properly walk me through the loan process, explain documents I didn’t understand, and communicate critical deadlines for submitting paperwork. My original closing date was October 5th. It was delayed the day before twice in a row. I didn’t end up closing until October 23rd. That nearly three-week delay left me and my family extremely stressed, unsure if we would even be able to secure the home before the date we told our landlord we would be moving out. All of this could have been avoided with basic communication and professionalism. The worst part of the entire buying experience came at the end, when I had already committed and had no choice but to move forward after giving my landlord our move out date. On top of that, the construction manager and his contractors failed to address the issues listed in my third-party inspection which I paid for out of pocket. Most items were simple, obvious fixes, yet many were ignored or “repaired” in a sloppy, half-done way. It felt like they wanted to rush through instead of ensuring the home was delivered in proper condition. To be fair, the only positive experience I had with Lennar was at the beginning with the sales consultant Dan, who was very informative and communicative. He was actually the reason I proceeded with Lennar in the first place. Unfortunately, everything after that especially the loan and construction process was the complete opposite. After this experience, I will never buy another home from Lennar again. The stress, lack of communication, last-minute delays, and poor quality of repairs completely ruined what should have been an exciting milestone. I’d honestly rather go back to renting than deal with another home purchase through them. I strongly recommend future buyers to proceed with caution, get your own third-party inspection, and be prepared for a lack of accountability from their team. ... More

constructions is supper poor, Customer service worst. Sales person no knowledge of product is very minima. I will not recommend to any one to get Lennar property

Items on walk through list were only partially completed - for example sealing of door gaps. Tile floors throughout were spotted with glue and paint splatter and not cleaned. Wall paint is horrible - gently wiping removes existing paint. Master shower floor grout is a different color near drain and we were told it was soap scum after 2 showers. No it was not - scrubbing by us changed nothing. Pantry shelving was cut too long and not in the cradle hardware. This should not have taken weeks to remedy. I expected to move into the pantry sooner than that. But - worst of all - our lanai pavers are covered with overspray and paint. We would like to seal them, but will not do this over the paint mess. This was reported to Nathan who promised to take his photos of it to his manager the next week since she was out of the office that week. We heard nothing and contacted Nathan at the end of that next week to get the results from the supervisor and were told she was fired and Nathan was going on vacation for 2 weeks. So now, a month later, NOTHING has been done. This is poor customer service and shoddy workmanship. I cannot recommend Lennar for these reasons. ... More

Quality is terrible. Warranty work for major issues is also terrible. Mold in home found 5 days after closing. House was leaking from multiple points around entire home. Pool patio flooded with 15 minutes of rain.
