Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

Overall, the experience with Lennar went smooth and as advertised. Quality is average. Not much attention to details and craftsmanship. All items are "contractor grade" at best. Meaning better than junk, but no better than average. Think "value" line in whatever came with the unit. But, I did know this going in.

The house was very well built. There were some minor issues with some small details

We had very good experience with both Blake the Project Manager and Caitlin the Warranty Rep for our home. They were very responsive to our requests and followed through to completion.

We had a great experience with Matt brown in purchasing the home and the house was supposed to be completed in 8-10 months and it was 8 months. Amazing

I would highly recommend personally monitoring the entire build process. If you personally can not then get a trust worthy buyer agent that has sold homes in a Lennar community in the past. Lennar sales reps are only focused on net new sales after P&S is signed (selling is their main job). They do not have the bandwidth to support your home build. That said, great properties, great homes, great value compared to other builders. Just pay attention and ask questions, trust but verify everything. Get to know your construction manager. They run the show as best as they can. Good luck.

Great neighborhood looking forward to the amenities. We are enjoying our house and where it’s located.

The only real issue I had was that I didn't want to use their pool vendor because of previous experience I had with then at Babcock National, I kept reminding them of that I was going to use my own pool contractor but they still put 3 large trees in the area for my Lanai and did did landscaping where pool would be built. I now have to move all that landscaping when they could have done the landscaping for a pool installation which they have.

Home is nice. Construction Manager talked a good game but lacked follow-up on issues. Warranty Dept. Person Maria is Fantastic and focused on customer satisfaction.

I have to say that I had a very wonderful experience with my sales person, Matt when I decided to look for a second home. He was very knowledgeable and easily reached when ever I had and questions or needed assistance with my purchase. The walk thru process was wonderful and Danny was able to assist us with information about all aspects of our unit. The only issue I felt needed to be improved upon was the closing. I think that if anyone like myself who is not computer savvy would be a little unsettled with this process of Doc U sign.

The Condo kitchen vent is not taking cooking smoks out, this is an big issue for Asian families, I have been trying to point this issue from the very begining when I started this purchase deal. The Condo management - Tropical Asles' person who is responsible for Condo structural changes is very non responsive to my request, if I don't get its approval to install a vent to take cooking smoke out, I might consider selling it as this condo is not suitable for Asian cooking style. Secondly, there is a negative side by not installing a fresh air intake in the condo which makes indoor air quality bad overnight with long time no air exchanges, in Minnesota housing regulations, this is a must have, normally contruction will drill a hole in the basement somewhere, and use flex alumi hose to bring fresh air into the basement close to the furnace fan, then the fan will blow fresh air throughout the house, I lived in this kind of house for 40 years, I never need to open my window to get fresh air. I think Lennar needs to consider this in its new designs of condos ... More

Overall, we had a good experience with our purchase. The warranty group has been responsive and professional. Our sales agent, Matt, was excellent.

Project manager - Lorenzo was very professional and helpful during the walk through as well as afterwards to help review and address any concerns.

Mortgage process was good. Condo was completed on time and process closing was simple. The only issue would be the fact that Lennar does not put any light fixtures in their condos.

Lennar is superb at building golf communities. The home choices are fine. However, the finishes are outdated, ugly, and exactly the same. It’s unfortunate you pay so much money and then end up sending it to the landfill. I know Lennar buys in bulk, however it doesn’t have to be so dated especially the tile walls and flooring. A suggestion would be to give the buyers a choice to pay the difference and make it their responsibility of having the material on site on time. And if not Lennar installs their materials. It could be a lot better. Figure it out.

Wish they offered upgrade on appliances and basic paint.

Sales and closing were excellent. Upon delivery of home the product was better than I expected. The only exception was the cleaning of the property. I did not expect to spend so much time on preparing the property to move in. Due to low paint quality I hired professionals to repaint the entire home, most people due the same. I also had to hire a professional company to clean the floor tile, this was unexpected.

Happy with the home / lot we selected, no major issues with the construction and quality . A lot of gray areas in the closing process .

Start with the understanding Lennar is a production builder and you are not buying or paying for a one-off custom home and expectations will be reached . The overall experience was greater than my expectations and I was happy for the cost/value received . The small warranty issues have been quickly addressed.

Great Everyone was very helpful & courteous.

Easy process to buy a home

From start to finish I was kept updated on details and always knew what to expect. Mark was great. Roberto our realtor was also great working in conjunction with Mark at Lennar. The punch list items are completed, some issues I had to keep reminding them about but overall they took care of me.

At times, the process seemed troublesome and concerning. This was mostly due to the difficult time we had communicating with our builder. Lennar could do more to better educate customers about the process to alleviate frustrations. I will say that the promises that Lennar made have been kept and they delivered a beautiful home. We were very fortunate to have a great salesman that helped with the communication concerns and offered very good advice when we were stressed. We also found the majority of Lennar construction managers very helpful and willing to offer advice. I do recommend Lennar and would advise anyone considering a new build to pack your patience and ask lots of questions during the process. Be sure to get a commitment from your salesman to be your advocate during the process or find a salesman that will. This is especially true if you are not located close enough to monitor progress. Knowledge during the build is priceless. ... More

So far I have had no issues.

Really enjoy the Cypress model home that we purchased. Got a little crazy before closing. Just had to take a deep breath, get closed, and start working on punch list items. List has gotten pretty short after nearly 2 months with only some minor cosmetic items remaining. Construction manager has worked diligently to help us out.

Our homebuilding experience with Lennar has been, for the most part, pretty satisfactory. Given the ongoing labor and material shortages and inflationary pressures, Lennar was able to produce an astounding number of completed properties, ours being one of them, in Babcock Ranch over a relatively short time. Our sales representative, Shaun, was very good to work with. He always took time to speak with us and he answered all of our questions within a reasonable time. Our biggest complaint would be the missed completion dates. However, given the manpower and supply chain issues, along with the ultra competitive market and a hurricane, Lennar did a credible job. Build quality was acceptable - not perfect - could have been better, but could have been much worse. Initial construction - foundation, block laying, concrete flatwork and framing all appeared to be very good. Unfortunately, the closer to finish they got, the more glaring and numerous the deficiencies became. But, so far, Lennar has remedied or has promised to take care of any problem we've brought to their attention. Fortunately, all of the problems we've noticed appear to be aesthetic and no structural issues. Since we closed two weeks after Hurricane Ian passed through the Ft. Myers area, probably the best testament to structural integrity is the fact that the only damage our property sustained was a few loose screens on the lanai and some landscaping needing to be re-staked. Another appealing aspect of buying a Lennar home was the "Everything's Included" package. Having all of the GE appliances installed and operational (actually, our dryer did not work, but Jordan, our construction manager, quickly installed a replacement), blinds installed on all the windows, the Ring doorbell and security system, Level lock, Eero mesh wi-fi, and epoxy garage floor coating, not only added monetary value, but eliminated the hassle of shopping for, acquiring and installing all of these items. Since walkthrough and closing, Jordan, has been very responsive. We're hoping that continues. In summation, although our experience with Lennar has not been perfect, considering some very difficult circumstances, overall it's been very positive. ... More
