Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Overall, it's worth for the money. But I feel they could have provided a bit more quality items for the same price. As an example, in guest bathrooms, they are proving small tiles, very labor intensive, and needs more cleaning by homeowners on a weekly basis. Instead, they could have provided either big tiles/less labor or even the new cheap big vinyl sheets. No basic fixtures like toilet paper holders in bathrooms.

It was a great experience. I received attention from some of the team and assistance in completing the data until I finally reached the completion of the house purchase process. However, I would like in the future for things to be smoother and more flexible when selling and for everything to be explained before signing the contract. I recommend dealing with Lanar. You are a truly excellent choice.

This home purchase was a very good experience for me. From the salesman Mike to the Loan officer Joel, everyone did an awesome job and everything went smoothly. I’m truly impressed with this experience.

I am very happy with the experience. The primary difficulties I struggled with, all were technology related. I worked a career that did not include much computer work, effectively none. Everything about this process required me to do something on a new app, or website. I don't even own a computer and that has made the process challenging. Plenty of help is available, but when you aren't familiar, the help is often difficult to follow. If you're in my situation, don't shy away, just be prepared. They will get you through it. If you are someone who is familiar with and enjoy doing things online and on apps, then you will really appreciate the process. ... More

I would never recommend buying a home from Lennar. It was a nightmare from start to finish and still is to this day. The process took 3 agonizing months to close because their mortgage team had issues with us not being married or FL residents yet. Then we found a ton of things wrong with OUR BRAND NEW HOME. They made us do a new home introduction 1.5 months before we closed and then a month after we closed when we finally got to move in, we found a whole list of things that made our 800K home feel like a foreclosure home. I cannot take a bath in our tub because they have so much crap caked on the bottom of it from painting and whatever else they used, our appliances are rusting very bad, our floors are uneven and the furniture rocks back and forth. Poor quality and they rip you off on price. The home next to us (a townhome as well) sold for 300K less than we paid and they have more sq footage. I could go on and on but it’s not worth my time anymore to deal with them. My parents were going to buy a home as well and after our experience I told them to never buy a Lennar home. Thanks but no thanks Lennar. You couldn’t even send us our Key fobs. We had to drive an hr and back to pick them up. Real classy ... More

Overall great experience. The consultants were awesome. But as far as workmanship, fast and sloppy not quality materials used. They don’t even come with ceiling fans anymore.

Anna was great and my house is beautiful..

I got a quick response for my ticket. I also got some one to check and report the issue. how ever it was not fixed because those lawn water was coming from neighbor's lawn.

Terrible service from the sales person. Construction mgr was very responsive and fixed all issues.

Before you close, take your time to look at the home with a magnifying glass because there are many careless mistakes, issues that it will overwhelm you after closure. You will not only be dealing with your move but also requesting repairs so many issues and keeping up with all the trades services that will have to come to your home to fix the issues. Ease look at painted walls, outlets, cabinets, appliances, garage door.... Please take your time because it will save you many headaches.

My experience with Lennar has been far from pleasant. I scheduled a home orientation and traveled out of state specifically for it. Upon arriving, I found out the orientation had been canceled without any notification. The property was in complete disarray, and the lack of communication was appalling. The orientation was rescheduled, but the issues persisted. It was clear that unqualified workers had been used, resulting in numerous problems: The refrigerator could not open without hitting the countertop, risking damage to the door. Light switches were wired improperly, with some requiring the entire power outlet to be shut off. There were holes in the walls, and measurements throughout the home were disproportionate. I hired an inspector and uncovered even more alarming issues, including a damaged roof, which is unacceptable for a supposedly "new" home. Despite promises to resolve these issues, many remained unresolved even after closing at the end of September. For example, Lennar addressed the lighting issue in December but left behind a complete mess, which still hasn’t been cleaned. Throughout this process, communication was horrible—from the builder to the home consultant and other parties involved. The frustration and lack of professionalism made me regret proceeding with the purchase. I hope this review helps other potential buyers make an informed decision when considering Lennar. My experience has been nothing short of frustrating, and I would not recommend them based on this ordeal. ... More

We closed on 10/30/2024 and couldn't wait to get into our new home. Unfortunately from the moment we moved in it's been issue after issue. Missing grout in the tile, broken tile, doors hitting each other, scratched sinks, trim not flushed to the wall, sloppy painting, misaligned doors, interior doors not finished on the bottom, holes in garage trim, chunks missing from concrete, cabinets shiny or rough.One thing after another and every time they come out, something else gets worse. What kind of builder leaves a house like this?!?! They finally repaired the concrete holes but damaged the pavers from wiping the wet concrete onto them. It took weeks to get the pavers replaced and once they replaced the pavers guess what? New chunks in the concrete!!! The only thing that has been fixed in two months is the sink . Stay away from Lennar!!! Very disappointed. ... More

It was easy smooth and very nice people to work with

I'm still discovering things about my new home. Overall I love it because it's mine but I can see in some areas where the home was rushed. Lennar has been great about quickly responding to issues.

Easy to work with. Liked the timely delivery and response to my inquiries and status updates. Great thing is it has everything and ready to move in except couple of minor things like Water softener loop and shower glass door.

We purchased a 6-year-old model in bad shape, Lennar didn't correct every warranty item, just a few of them. They refused provide information and keys to the home. Therefore, we needed to locksmith and get new lock and keys for $340.00, and same the pavers we did them for $250,00 in Nov. 2024. But Lennar never repaid us.

The mortgage process was a breeze. Joel and his partner Jodi made it seamless, fun, and speedy. It was wonderful to work with their personalities are a breath of fresh air. I am also impressed by the way Lennar is managing my complaints. I am adding Josh in Customer Care to my list for being expedient, concerned, and attentive.

The house itself is nice and a good value for the money. The process of buying the house from the mortgage lender all the way through the celebration and acceptance had MUCH to be desired. Issues riddled throughout the entire process. Warranty claims had to be reopened because they were incorrectly denied. Several issues were found during the celebration walk and none of which were addressed before the home acceptance. The only person that kept their word through the entire process was the sales agent, Dennis. Even when I told him of some of the issues that I was having he jumped right in to assist with getting things resolved even though it was not his job to do so. All in all I love the house. I just wish I didn't have so many problems during the purchasing process and fighting to get repairs completed. ... More

Jay is not the best at checking in or communicating with his clients. Numerous promises made at final walk through without any follow through. Chris has been awesome. He is timely, responsive and follows through immediately with any and every need- going above and beyond.

A great buying eperience and good quality.

Attention to details as discussed in person. Several items we discussed were left incomplete from the original report. I did advise that my home back in GA was closing and I needed things listed completed. Less than month into my new home and we have a leak in the guest bathroom that I found while storing some things away. When I walked through final inspection, home was still being worked on. Told it would be cleaned and ready to go, but it was not. Nonetheless, I had to move and get ready to go back to work asap. At this point I’ll do my best to cleanup and repair / replace items left off. Carlo Torres was a great to work with. Answered all my questions and kept me on other available property’s within the community. When I lost the first property to another buyer, he quickly worked with me to locate another model within a few days. ... More

We recently closed on a single family home. The closing process was all one way. The builder set the schedule and we had to live with it. Living in another state required us to cancel flights and reboot them as their schedule changed. When I asked for an one day change in the schedule, I was told 'No Can do', but they later changed the schedule by a week. The workmen did a fabulous job of addressing all the building defects we identified during the 'walk threw celebration' which is really a home inspection prior to closing. However, there were items that the builder should have noticed. A few examples are: The dishwasher door was dented and the body cracked. The draw on the bottom of the stove would not shut. ... More

The process was smooth and Olie ,as well as all the people in the process, explained each step well.

We went with Lennar because we got more bang for our buck. However, it came with a price. Read below. The sales guy was our first interaction with Lennar. He was very condescending and not very responsive most times. He always seized the opportunity to say something condescending. Often times when he felt that he was repeating himself he would say "I said" or "like I said" or "I already told." He rubbed me the wrong way the entire time. Once we went under contract I don't think we heard from him. The experience with Lennar and especially that guy was very transactional. Underwriting was a disaster. It was the single most stressful situation I have ever encountered. The lady who was assisting the underwriter was not doing her job. She would wait until the last minute to request documents from me. I would always get them back same day. Needless to say, she caused our closing date to be pushed out. I had all of my paperwork together and ducks in a row before I started the homebuying process, but the way that underwriting went, you would have thought I was an offender who could not be in so many feet of a school or something. My loan officer was remarkable. Her name is Karlene. She gave me a peace of mind during all of the underwriting drama. The quality of the home is still TBD. We have been here three months and have already had plumbing issues in a bathroom that we seldom use. The craftsmanship of the homes is sloppy. During our walkthrough I requested that several issues be addressed. One issue was a noticeable slope in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Their contractor reworked it a couple of times but it is still there. According to the builders, there is a percentage of correction that they must meet. Some issues were masked and not actually corrected. Lennar chalks that up as cosmetic. I assume that means those issues aren't important, despite the price tag on the homes. We also had some wiring issues that required Lennar to send their contractor out. We have a whole in our drywall that I must put a work order in to repair. The wall in which the dryer vent comes from is not finished. I pointed that out multiple times prior to closing. I must put a work order in there as well. I don't think the contractors are managed well. The homes being built in my community (Balm Grove) are left wide open all night. There has been times when we would ride by at night and all of the lights are left on and the garage and fronts doors are left open. Imagine the critters. Hence, the reason that we had a pest issue upon move in. Oh and it is frustrating to watch the progress of your home being built, only to come back the next day to see that another contractor damaged what was newly installed. Luckily for us, we lived nearby and was able to spot these issues daily. Not so fortunate for the people who do not have that opportunity. I want to circle back to the arrogant salesman. I noticed that some buyers were welcomed into the community with signs and balloons at their home. Not us. Not so much as a thank you card, but I am sure that guy received a pretty hefty commission on a nearly half a million dollar home. Lastly, on closing day, the people that we encountered we nice. Maybe the processing department. Please note, I experienced other issues but did not mention every single detail because some of them were addressed during our walk through. My best advice is to go with your gut when deciding whom to work with. Have a realtor! She was my saving grace when dealing with the not so friendly salesman. Also, document everything. Try to have all affairs in order before underwriting because if you get the same pair that I worked with, it will be a headache. I heard that some of my neighbors experienced worse. Also keep in mind that Lennar does sell to investors which means that after what I believe is a 60 day waiting period, your neighborhood will have renters. Nothing against renters but do your research on the Triple Creek drama and join the community FB group (if allowed) prior to purchasing. Best of luck! ... More

Call me if you really want to know. Most certainly the worst buying experience I've ever had. HORRIBLE customer service. & response times.
