Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

My experience was not good.

Sub work was poor for painting and finishing. Our saving grace was Alan. He cleaned up the issues for us. Lennar title was difficult to work with. Would go with a back on the loan.

Great house terrible customer service. Tammy wouldn't talk to us regarding our closing cost. Dishwasher had to be replaced, the fridge hasn't worked for a month and the microwave had to have the fan replaced. I battle geese leaving waste on my driveway and yard. This is a huge health hazard. Like I said love the house but now have to live in conditions that I didn't ask for and not getting help with. There were 75 geese that were counted in my yard over the last weekend. Please help me enjoy my new house. My neighbor has an infant that she has to stroll through ALOT of droppings just to take her child for a walk. ... More

We built a Spencer in 2022. Was disappointed that there weren't more options for a seniors living in next gen suite. After moving in, we had several issues. The first 8 weeks we had contractors in fixing something. Thankfully the warranty request process is easy and Lennar responds quickly. Overall really disappointed with tge overall craftsmanship of a nearly $500k home. I would not recommend building with Lennar.

My experience has not been the best from the beginning. The telephone tree kind of communication with the site manager and sales person in not getting the message right. I can go into details about how hard it was to talk to Chandra. Then the mortgage officer rarely listen to us and the constant missed opportunities of communicating on what was needed and not needed. The back and forward was confusing. Then I lost my VA opportunity in buying this home. That was just the beginning part of my his. Please call to find out more

Our sales person, Dylan was fantastic. We liked him and he was (and still is) very responsive to any questions or concerns. If I were rating just him alone I would say we had a very good experience. Lennar is a large builder and by all accounts should have their building process down now like a well oiled machine. They are, however, building these homes way too fast without a real attention to detail. Also, when issues are noted they are not addressing them while the work is being completed. It appears that they are just letting the issues slide in hopes that the new homeowner will not hold them accountable. Prior to moving in we had a walkthrough that should have only taken about an hour and at 3 1/2 hours I had to rush because of a work meeting. This was also the 2nd walk through of this home, so many of the issues we say were from the prior buyer that had not yet been addressed. They completed most of the repairs, but not all before our closing, and they were not completed with any quality. Instead they just threw some half assed workmanship and called it good. When we moved in you notice just little things that when added all together give you a negative feeling about their building practices. This is obviously all dependent on the Construction Managers and how they hold the subs accountable for the poor workmanship that they are seeing. When I talked with the Construction Manager about a problem we were having with our home I outlined the process that should have been followed to address and issue and his response was "that's not going to happen that way", to which I responded well it should. This is the single reason for the rating I have given. For the money you spend you should not be having any of the issues that we see in our home and many of the other homes around us. Overall I have had very positive interactions with the warranty people, Jesse and Arica. However, I have had way too many interactions already with them as our home was finished in June of 2022. Overall, I would give them a good rating if it was just dependent on them. Not sure that we would buy another home from Lennar without first seeing if they have fixed the issues with poor workmanship. We love the floor plan and the neighborhood. I just hope this home is still standing in 25 years. ... More

Dealing with the sales person was difficult. She told us the house will have a few things and then on closing they were asking more money for the things that should be included. They did not allow us to move the data points around the house and did not allow us to add more data points in rooms where it was needed. We found the process difficult and not to our full satisfaction. We are planning on getting extra work completed after closing. If you plan on getting a Lennar home make sure you are in touch with the project manager to be sure the process is going according to plan. The sales person would not even allow us to talk to our project manager. We were not satisfied with the process. ... More

We love our floor plan and neighbors, but are really disappointed with the quality and expectations that Lennar has of its subcontractors. Apparently our standards are too high for a production builder.

Brand new house flooded due to faulty installed washer by the builder. A month has passed and still difficult trying to get help.

The process wasn’t smooth. Closing delayed twice, zero celebration-just were given a snack cake and a goodbye after spending more than a half million dollars!

The house was poorly done and amendments were not done after walk through as promised.

This process was extremely painful and unfriendly to myself as the homebuyer. I have purchased 4 homes and this was easily the worst experience. The concierge, Debs communicated terribly, was condescending, and was completely unwilling to help us negotiate a closing date, time, and location that was best for us. Our initial request was to close remotely in Florida which we were told could not happen. I asked again to close remotely from the model home in Franklin and was told it was not far enough away from the Carmel office. We drove from Florida to Indiana and were expected to be at final walk-through 9 hours after we arrived in Indiana, at 8:00 am the next day (we were told “hopefully that time works because it has to”) and then drive 30-40 minutes away to Carmel to close on the house and then BACK to Franklin to be in our home. This was all completed with minimal sleep, 15 hours of driving the day before, 3 pets, 2 kids, one of which woke up the same morning with a fever. It is insanely discouraging to spend the amount of money and time it costs to purchase a house for the builder and Lender to be so unwilling to offer any flexibility in these kinds of situations, especially. Our furnace had a gas leak and was inoperable less than a week after moving in. To add, Lennar Mortgage received everything that was asked for. However, a clerical error on the end of Lennar has caused them to contact myself for additional paperwork that was not needed originally although the mortgage has already been sold to another lender (2 months after closing.) ...

Good morning, we purchased a home at Geist Manon, our sales associate Heather was friendly and helpful in the beginning but once we signed the deal her total demeanor changed regarding her follow up as she also failed to reply to emails. We felt by sales and contractors as we were just a number and when you send the money we spend on a new home it should be a great experience. We also still have things yet to be fixed from our initial walk through drywall issues, painting touch ups,house cleaning the floors were dusty (drywall dust), outside was a mess due to winter conditions and no one has reached out to follow up. We also build with David Weekly and didn’t have this experience. ... More

We did our walk thru a week before we closed and we came back 3 times in that week and nothing had been done in our walk thru so the day before closing we went to the office and our girl got on the phone and called our project manager and got them to start working on all the things that were wrong. But the morning of the closing we came back and several things were wrong and I feel like we were dismissed on all of them and then you are stuck because you have to go to your closing. We have already had to have the mother board replace in our heating system and we haven’t even lived here a month. But it took 4 visits to get done. Still several things need to be done but just trying to get settled before they fix the things that should have been done before we closed ... More

Customer service is not good. The master bedroom shower is useless with no tap at the bottom and sliding glass door is hard to clean. The master bedroom wic is literally in the corner you have to walk through the bathroom to get there and there is no power outlet in it. I told my desire what type of home I am looking for but the Lennar team was very cold. They didn't help me to find my first home to be my dream home. I wish it could be my dream home. The team you have is not supporting at all. We moved from New Jersey for this home. The team was not cooperating with us to find the perfect home

It was not a good experience from the start. We were told by the sales woman that Lennar did not offer VA loans. We found that to be incorrect. We have had many issues with the workmanship and have only been in the hone for less than 2 months.

Water tank, dishwasher, emergency shower hinge, ungrounded rail. These shouldn’t occur with adequate quality control. Home experience stafff became invisible and unresponsive after sale, warranty filing process is inconvenient and closed so my property managers cannot file claims on my behalf.

lazy and shortcuts no standards of quality

Make sure to not give lennar builder money. As a deposit is not really a deposit and is non refundable even if they say they will refund it.

Lennar was very responsive when I initially signed for the property and things changed afterwards. The workmanship is poor and cheaper products, lights, bathroom fixtures are used. The paint job is very poor. I have begun to have my Villa repainted. I would not recommend at this time.

The builder did a nice job building the home. As with any new construction there are follow up issues. Those issues are not handled expeditiously and it is difficult to even talk with someone, whom to ask and where to go.

Fantastic experience until signing of purchase agreement. Communication from Lennar new home sales consultant was primarily limited, ambiguous and reactive throughout the building phases. Issues prior to closing left incomplete with no follow up. Construction issues discussed on closing day remain outstanding after two months. Warranty service items are not readily available for homeowners to view once submitted. Warranty service items slow to be resolved.

The specialist I was assigned with this property is very poor with his follow up process. I would reach out multiple times and needed to involve my realtor to get a response. I am also disappointed is some of the workmanship of the property: every door has paint missing on the edge due to only a thin layer being sprayed, patio boards are uneven and appears hastily assembled, and there is a 1/16th inch cut tile in above my stove due to not measuring the tile correctly which gives a cheap appearance. For the amount paid I was hoping for better finishing work with the property.

This process was not consistent. The walk throughs that were promised throughout the process did not happen until the end. The communication was usually unresponsive on Lennar’s end from our key contacts and Katie S. was extremely unprofessional. I do want to say Henry, the building coordinator was very professional and easy to work with. Lastly I’ll say I understand there’s a time crunch in building these units but having our basement flood the day after closing was frustrating and unacceptable. The closing process was smooth and quick. Thank you.

For price of this home the overall workmanship was very poor. There are many basic things that were poorly done such as painting, and door and trim installation. Very disappointed with the quality of the work.
