Great Finance Team - Priced Well - Finished Product Average

  • Steven A.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • January 12, 2022
  • Venice, FL

Finance and sales team were awesome. Lots of small blemishes that need to be fixed, scratched front door, over painting, missing CAT5 jacks, chipped tile on pool, terrible seams/drywall finishing. That being said, the team that fixes those issues are easy to connect with.

Recognize they are a production builder and volume is key, not workmanship or quality of finishes.

Still waiting for punch list to be completed

  • Christoph L.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • January 12, 2022
  • Venice, FL

You have no options or upgrades, just a cookie cutter builder for low to middle class. Poor quality workmanship and rushes through buildings just to sell. After closing almost two months ago I am still waiting for repairs to be done.

WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER LENNAR HOME

  • John M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • January 06, 2022
  • Venice, FL

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 ...

Lennar - The overall experience was good.

  • Tim R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • January 05, 2022
  • Venice, FL

The overall experience was good. The main main structure and overall detail of the townhouse is great. However the finishing touches extremely sloppy. We felt very rushed to close and it was obvious the workers were rushed as well. The first day of our walk thru was a disaster. It wasn’t even close to being completely and we were supposed to have a walk thru?? Townhome was never thoroughly cleaned liked it should’ve been. One window sill was cut way too short so instead of cutting a new piece they installed it and put a bunch of caulk at each end. The hole for the medicine cabinet for the ...

It says a lot when you speak to neighbors and they all share the same problems and frustration with the builder as you do. I dread the problems I might come across 5 years from now.

Lennar - As I have reported before, No one showed up for our scheduled

  • Lou H.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 30, 2021
  • Venice, FL

As I have reported before, No one showed up for our scheduled walk through after it had been delayed because the Townhome was not ready. Our new closing date was scheduled but was not completed as scheduled because the townhome was not ready. No one helped us try to reschedule the closing or complete items on our punch list. Lennar forced us to close before the home was finished, We received a call around 7 pm with no previous notice on the last day of the month from a remote notary to close on the home. I was very disappointed with the sales staff in particular.

Lennar responded:
Hi Lou, thank you for sharing your review. We are sorry and disappointed to hear about the poor service you received during what should be a joyous time. We want to apologize for your experience with the sales staff as well.

The fact that very few options are available for the purchaser throughout the home.

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 22, 2021
  • Lakewood Ranch, FL

That they claim to not be a "custom builder" when they need excuses for construction miscues and for their lack of options. For the price of their home, it seems unreasonable to make those claims. Buyers must understand that changes internally will be on their own, while changes externally are virtually non-existent due to HOA regulations.
