Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Probably the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. When you complain about it they basically tell you to close or they will fine you. It has been almost 2 months they still haven’t fixed drywall, paint, tiles, cabinets. James, Kyle, Stephanie all bad. They want the sale and that’s it. Kyle has to be the worst. Took go through the house and see the terrible job and put a stamp of approval is terrible what they do to the consumer. But as the manager Stephanie (I think her name was) it’s all about closing on homes for the investors. They’re mentality is don’t worry about the product being put out just close as fast as possible. Go with a different builder ... More

Instead of being “ wowed” our home buying experience was terrible. The inside of the home was ok, the tile floors being the worst….in fact we are still trying to get the floors clean and presentable. The customer rep seemed bored and mechanical and did not act on any issues for over a month. Our construction manager Mark was the only reliable person that we could talk to. Workmanship is absolutely terrible. Extremely disappointing to find out that the interior was painted a flat white, no one told us and we spent more money painting that we should have. Lennar should have given us some credit for fixing stark white walls. Even the landscaping was seemingly done without thought. The backyard is bumpy, a friend has already fallen. The workers are careless and there isn’t any craftsmanship. I was told that Lennar is a production builder….I believe it. Wish we could go back in time and have a wonderful experience…..I guess that is only found in dreams. ... More

The quality of EVERYTHING in my home is garbage. My experience with Lennar has not been a good one.

Lennar is extremely unresponsive and quaility of work is poor. I would never buy from Lennar again. I just did a walk-through with BTI Parnters at Marina Pointe. Their attention to detail was night and day comparted to Lennar.

Communication was absolutely horrible through the home buying process. My close date was changed more than half a dozen times and we were over 1 yr delayed, I received a house with many issues that are still being resolved including exposed electrical wires, unfinished kitchen cabinets, etc. The warranty team takes quite a long time to resolve problems when something is submitted. Lots of corners were cut and it was a very unpleasant experience overall.

Do not buy, run away. Sales team made false promises, they are just looking for your money. No quality and construction issues left and right. Tile issues, plumbing issues, poor worksmanship, cutting corners everywhere. They want to save on everything.just expect atleast 4walls.

Bad quality construction, cheap products. Lennar has very customer service and zero post-sale commitment. There is no SLA for the resolution of the issues. Uneven flooring, lousy painting, cracks on the walls.

Worst experience ever, they don’t even deserve one star. Stay away from Lennar DO NOT buy a house from this builder

The house is supposed to be new and without problems, on December 9 I did the closing and there were some things to fix. The engineer in charge of the house promised that he would fix the house in a matter of weeks, as of today, January 31, the house remains the same and both the engineer and the customer service person are still missing without letting me know when they are going to fix it. the problems that the house has. The treatment that my wife and I have received in a matter of the house is incredible. It is unacceptable that they have a group of people working without caring about the things they do. This will be the last time I buy a house with Lennar. ... More

My experience with Lennar has been quite disappointing. Despite being promised that all pending tasks would be completed prior to closing, several important items were left unfinished. They were in a rush to close all the homes by November and there was no focus on completing the work before closing. The closet doors were not fixed, shower rods were not installed, the painting was not done to a satisfactory standard, and there were drywall cracks and partially painted lanai door. I would not recommend purchasing a home from Lennar. They did not demonstrate a customer-centric approach and their responsiveness declined once the closing was completed. Despite repeated attempts to follow up on the unresolved issues, the builder seemed disinterested in resolving the matter. I strongly advise against purchasing a home from Lennar. It may cost a bit more, but it would be worth considering other builders such as MI Homes or Pulte Homes. It is important to thoroughly research the options and make an informed decision before entering into a deal with Lennar. ... More

Dont buy from Lennar, EVER! They are cheapskates who cant do anything right, force you into closing early with promises of fixing things, but do not deliver. The material is cheap, the labor is crap, the multiple mistakes due to their cheap laborers is absolutely horrible. The home is not worth the price they charge AT ALL! I could have done a better job than their day laborers. Their construction manager Derrick clearly has no idea how to do his job or how to manage his workers to make sure they do it right. We have had nothing, but issues and we have only been in the home a month. The padding between townhomes walls is not enough, the padding under the carpet is none existent. We can hear everything! There is no sound proofing whatsoever, its like living in an apt again. The paint mistakes, the caulking missed, the leaking windows, tile floors installed incorrectly, the broken cabinets, and these are some of the issues we have that have yet to be fixed, The sales people have no idea what they are selling. No one in this organization communicates with anyone else. Sales people promise one thing, but that is clearly not what is done. From top to bottom this is the worst construction company in the Bay Area. ... More

House was a mess when we moved in. Walls needed repainting and when they repainted the workers got paint on carpet, tile, everything and it is not cleaned up yet. Our A/C has gone out 3 times and is still not fixed. No one from Lennar follows up when work order is put in. Finally, the HOA is charging us a late fee because Lennars title company sent them a faded check that HOA could not cash and cannot get a hold of the title company to cut a new check. I would not recommend to anyone to deal with Lennar.

BAD COMPANY AND STAFF

The homebuying experience has been less than ideal. From putting in an offer on the house being told last minute that I can’t close due to a quote on quote SHA policy until my family member outlined the FHA guidelines did the sales team change their tune. The lender that was referred by Lennar again not great. I asked multiple times during the process for additional review of my good faith estimate, and was told I had to get back with the sales agent who never returned my emails. Chris who is on the construction side has been the only person to follow up and show any type of customer service. I did not close on my loan until November 30 after 10 PM after I demanded a mobile notary to come to my house due to the hick up with Lennar ‘s closing department. I was asked for the same document multiple times causing tons of stress for a newly divorced homeowner. The customer service with Lennar is by far the worst I’ve ever experience. This is my fifth home purchasing and I have never been treated so poorly the day of closing I did not even get the full experience as other homeowners with the red carpet roll out or even the banner and balloons. I notated the condition of my cabinets prior to moving into the house and here we are now at the end of January, and I’m being told my cabinets will not be fixed until May. The paneling of the cabinets are pilling off one of the actual doors is completely off the hinges, broken cabinetry in the kitchen and nothings been done to expedite this. Furthermore, I have not been able to hang up any clothes in my closet as my comply closet is completely broken and that was also outlined prior to closing. My backyard is a complete utter mess with holding water everywhere. I would like to have the great customer service. The other builders give their homeowners, however, I have not received that to date. ... More

This is our third new home and has definitely been the worst of all three. The craftsmanship and details are lacking. The response from Lennar has been lacking and when they do respond, they say it isn’t covered or need to call another company.

Worst experience i ever had in buying a home

The only positive I've had throughout my experience is with my Sales Consultant Joe Casinguay. The Construction side of Lennar is Horrible! Communication, Quality of Construction, Integrity, Pride is workmanship from their Trades is nonexistent! My first new construction experience and I will not do it again unless I'm my own General contractor. If you care about buying a quality home and having good communication with the builder, Do Not Buy from Lennar!!!!!!

This was the most unorganized build I have ever had. I used Lennar mortgage and title, thinking it would help communications. However, none of them seemed to communicate nor even know what the other was doing. I had unbelievable issues at every step. My closing was a disaster of miscommunication and they ended up missing 2 pages for me to sign. Then hounded me to sign the pages and fedex them. I have very obvious damages, which were just ignored until after closing and are now “warrenty”. Including a dropped dryer with the back dented in. The grinding noise made me call GE. These are just a few of my issues. The local warranty man makes me very uncomfortable as he keeps asking to be invited to my hot tub. ... More

I have moved to three other new built houses in the past, this was the worse experience ever. From beginning to end- starting with the sales person, who did not know much, everything had to be asked to supervisor, she provided wrong information. I was told all the closing cost would be covered and it was not, I am still waiting for answers, since November 29th- closing date. My home was not completed when it was supposed to be, I had to move in to a house needed another week of work. As of now, there is still long list of items needs to be completed. To top all of these, home owners association made a mistake with the monthly payments and actual cost is around $80 more than what I was told. Worse ever................................. ... More

You have made my dream home a complete nightmare.

Home not finished after closing early Moved into home that was disgustingly dirty with little to no response Several things wrong with home

Lennar is horrible. Offered an outrageous interest rate. Had us do a walkthrough when the house was nowhere close to being ready. Rude and unaccommodating staff. Extremely stressful and disappointing experience.

Was really excited to buy my first home and everything seemed great at the beginning. That was about the only good experience. From the buying experience, to the build, to the close, everything was a nightmare and I would never recommend Lennar to my worst enemy. The title office called me as I was on the way to close telling me I owed more money, literally as I was driving there after being told multiple times I owed nothing more. "Glitch" in their system was the excuse. The house was unfinished when I moved in, and is still unfinished. Almost all of my kitchen cabinets are broken or missing, cracks in tiles, bathroom cabinets broken, showers unfinished, granite countertops not sealed, cheaped out on a bunch of materials that most of the neighborhood got but I didn't, because they "ran out of material" to do my garage floor, cabinet handles, brick wall outside, etc. The construction manager Travis literally told me he was going to fight me if he saw me outside of work because I told them they were doing a bad job after being patient for months and understanding all of their push backs and excuses for not getting the job done. The list goes on but this is just the stuff off the top of my head after being in the home for two months. Again, get as far away from this builder as you can. They hide behind their contracts and take ZERO pride in their work/customer service because they know there is nothing you can do to them after you sign your life away and give them the down payment. RUN. RUN. RUN. ... More

My new home was delivered unfinished. No follow-up on when things will get fixed. To name a few issues of MANY, my kitchen is unfinished, closet doors were not painted correctly, all doors are damaged, concrete floors in porch and patio are ruined, and after closing, we found out there is no infrastructure for the internet (we live in a "connected ultra wifi community."

Horrible experience, will not recommend anyone to buy a Lennar home. Pressure their client’s to close on homes that are not finished and getting them to do any repairs is a hassle.
