Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

When we applied we didn’t know what we were going to be living. Lennar Mortgage is the WORST! They make you think you can get a home and a few days before your closing date they will find something to not approve your or request things they were supposed to have from the beginning.They lack communication skills and their process is horrible because they don’t follow guidelines. They make you lose time. We closed on a home because we used another lender but since the beginning Lennar knew we didn’t qualify with them (they have a lot of requirements) If we didn’t have urgency we would have gone to a different lender and property, but we were on Airbnbs and spending a lot of money so we had to move fast because we came from another State. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to buy from Lennar. They also lie about many things. Be aware! ... More

We paid for a 3rd party inspection report which was sent to the construction manager to take care of prior to our closing the day of our final walkthrough half of the items weren’t taken care of and he promised he would take care of them if we signed off on the home. The biggest item that I am still upset about is our driveway which was not properly leveled prior to laying the pavers and it has dips throughout. I have copies of written communication from Chase our construction manager saying it will be taken care of both prior to our closing and after and that “the price has been approved” but here we are 3 months after our closing with no resolution. This whole experience confirms to me that our satisfaction as buyers was totally set aside just so Lennar could squeeze another home closing in at the end of November at fiscal year end. ... More

The whole process was very overwhelming and messy. We were pushed to close so quickly in this home that had alot of issues to be addressed. We made it aware during walk through, and they told us to just submit a ticket in warranty and they will cover it. The response time from everyone has been very delayed. We are still having issues to this day with our address not being able to be validated because it is a new construction home. We couldn't connect our utilities due to these companies not being able to find our home in their system (new build which is understandable). So with that being said, I was constantly sending them emails that I can't connect our utilites and i am in fear of waking up to no power or water in our house. They said no worries we are going to let you know 5 days before we decide to disconnect your services. I woke up this morning with everything turned off and no notice that this was going to happen. When I made Lennar aware of this, they said oh yeah we disconnected services to your name please call them to set it up. This is so unprofessional and I never want to buy a home with Lennar again. As a first time home owner , I was excited about this experienced but they robbed the joy from us with how we were and have been treated. Even from closing day, the people who were suppose to help us with the paperwork and signing looked miserable working their job. We were so excited to close and they displayed zero emotion during the process , we even felt bad asking for them to take our picture with the new home owner sign because they looked like they wanted us to leave so they can go home. Overall, the only thing I can say was positive was the promos that we were given but that does not trump over the terrible experience we had since day 1. ... More

There is way too much to type but the overall process was awful. I am very disappointed in the entire process with Lennar and would not recommend to anyone honestly. I still have on going issues

Wouldn’t recommend LENNAR to anyone still trying to get get doors flipped right side up no handles on doors took two months to get lights in rooms

Workmanship is terrible. The grass in the garden is pretty much dead at this point. No toilet paper holders, shower rails, soap dishes, broken roof tiles, damaged windows screens, lamp on the front lawn doesn’t work, cracked/missing tiles in the driveway, unwired faceplates throughout the home, paint dripping over light switches/tiles, holes behind all light switches, loose fixtures in the all bathrooms, all windows blinds hung the wrong way, gaps in doors throughout the home, missing stucco all over the outside of the home, grass wasn’t placed Properly resulting in tripping hazards everywhere, broken cabinet doors, rusted cabinet handles, drawer handles different for each drawer, broken dryer, rusted bathroom fixtures. I paid 50k over asking price and the house needs a lot of work ... More

Unfortunately, I do not have a good review regarding the home construction, which is full of problems and defects-- and the list is long. Some workers simply should not construct anyone's home. Customer service and warranty as well as sales is responsive and professional, so hopefully the defects and problems in construction will be taken care of afterwards. However, a new homeowner should not have to plead and stress about the multitude of problems in the new build in a new community.

DELAYS, DELAYS, DELAYS, AND SOME MACHINES NOT WORKING PROPERLY

Take your time during the final inspection. Do not close on your home until the corrections are completed. We have been waiting for over six weeks for the pavers to be replaced in the lani. The granite used in the kitchen is not sealed properly causing permament stains. The granite installation company and Lennar have stated the granite is defected in many homes in Lorraine Lakes but have informed home owners they will not replace the defective granite.

After less than a month of moving in a flood occurred in my home, flooding 2/3 of the interior of my newly built home. The drain lines to the washing machine was not connected. I also experienced another flood in a former LENNAR home I had moved from-a Coach home- After just 3 days a sewage backup breached my master bath. Numerous experiences brought to one main conclusion with Lennar employees: incompetence. ALL laborers at LENNAR: No one spoke the English language, making it difficult to communicate my issues. I have purchased to date 4 Lennar homes. 2 of those homes had countless issues/defects/poor construction, etc. VERY UNHAPPY/dissatisfied with Lennar-the entire organization. ... More

The price of the house was good, everything else was mediocre at best. Craftsmanship was sub par, many issues im still dealing with 2 month later. Brand new washer leaks, fridge is dented from whoever installed it, finish carpentry is poor. There are hidden fees they don’t tell you about, like the service area assessment fee which is 274 a quarter! Buyer beware! Do your homework.

My experience with Lennar Morgage is very bad which result in I don’t wanna buy any Lennar house any more. The loan documents have a lot issue and it took us a lot time to get the clarity we need. Steve our loan officer is not responsive and not a problem solver. He kept throw our question away. We have consistently have frustration feelings that don’t wanna continue any more. A lot steps that only let us know at the last minute and keep push us to take action immediately without any turn around time. The stuff should be more efficient and give customers enough time to take actions

My experience with Lennar has been awful. I was given misinformation from my Lennar mortgage representative on several occasions making the process a nightmare. Then I was promised that a list of items would be completed by the builder prior to my virtual walk-through. They were not, but promised to be done prior to closing. It's now been six weeks since I closed and I'm still waiting for many things to be fixed. I'm frustrated and very unhappy with Lennar.

The house was not ready on closing date. There were multiple walls left with holes that the builder did not tell the buyer. First week in the house already had a water leak and we are still waiting for some repairs to be done.

Everything from start to finish was terrible including the real estate agent. I put my unit up for sale the day after I closed and cant wait to get rid of it.

If I can give zero stars I would. This is the first time buying a house and I’ll never buy a house with lennar again.

I would never buy another Lennar home. I have owned in communities. But this experience has been unimaginably horrible. I have a serious constructionissue with the house. I’m getting the runaround. The solution has been approved three separate times but the materials never get ordered so I have to keep starting over. They just close tickets out if they don’t feel like addressing them the warranty person is the most horrible, rude nasty Power crazy person he lets you know. He’s in control of what can get done at your house, they don’t stand behind the product they act like they’re doing you a favor if they’re fixing something that should’ve been right to begin with never never never do this. Do not deal with this Builder. We’re trying very hard to get our house sold I don’t wanna live in this community. You have very little recourse. we are trying to find attorney. ... More

Lennar mortgage is the worst. I have been an owner for 2 months. I sent my 1st payment as instructed and they have sent me 2 late notices. Although they cashed my check 10 days before the due date. 3 times I called to get verification and acknowlement. Waiting for a call back from a "supervisor ". Waiting over 40 minutes each time on hold Waiting for a reply. They were disorganized from the start. Nonody at their company wants to talk via the phone. They sold my loan already and still can't get answers from either company. They have made my brand new purchase a disappointing experience.

The agent that sells the house does not give you specific details when I asked about accessories in the house, etc. There are no clarities inside of the contract or at closing. One part of the company doesn’t know what the other one is doing. The mortgage buying experience was completely atrocious and I have experience in buying new homes with other builders. The quality of the materials that are used are absolutely low and cheap. A lot of people in my neighborhood in prosperity lakes have had their roof leaking within the first week by the house. One lady had her sink fall out. Half of the items that were on the inspection before closing were not done but were covered up. If I did not have experience in identifying a lot of the issues, many things would’ve been overlooked. I would never ever recommend Lennar to anybody! ... More

LENNAR is the worst for customer service. This was my first time buying a home and they made my life difficult for a whole year. There is NO communication at all. When I finally did my final walk through of the house things still weren’t finished, I was told by the construction manager that he would take care of it but don’t tell them that he was doing that but he never did now I have to go through home warrant which is another hassle.

Briefly, Communication throughout the loan, construction and closing process was poor - in some cases, non-existent. But Lennar will hold you to their dates with threats of penalties ... but when they miss a date, that's just how it is ... even if you had travel planned on those dates. The loan process was invasive as any process I've ever experienced; they should make the customer aware that an asset-based loan (which they don't offer with their promotions) would work for many customers vs. an income-based loan.

It was very stressful. They approved me for a loan. I payed 30% down payment and after that they told me that I am not approved and I needed to pay off my car. That was not the plan in first place. I had to spend all my money before I made this big purchase. I don’t want to see any email from Lennar ever again.

I am not even rating this experience. Letting others speak for me. But since I have to add more words here it is. Nothing! If you like to have PTSD please sign up to Lennar customer service.

Poor from the moment we closed So many issues. Such poor finishing. Such a slow unprofessional service getting the house as it should have been. Even untidy, broken tiles everywhere, pool green etc etc Couldn’t have been worse

Everything was ok until we signed the paperwork and then all the all the Promises we were told would be fixed or resolved we are still waiting to be fix! We never got our box of tile we were told would be in our garage and that our lawn to be fixed! We still don’t have grass in our yard after living here two months! I will never buy another house from Lennar and I will be telling everyone about the poor customer service and empty promises we were told would be handled!!
