Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

When we first met RJ, the sales rep, in November, he told us that the prices had been reduced considerably because Lennar needed to sell all of their inventory by the end of December 2023, in order to be able to build new homes in Franklinton. He lead me to believe that the prices would go back up in the new year and that these prices were almost “too good to be true.” This caused “the fear of missing out” within me, so I was compelled to sell my home on Opendoor (the only way Lennar accepts contingencies), for a $30-40K loss. That would have been fine if the Lennar homes truly had been cut as RJ mentioned, but now in 2024 all the new homes in this community are being listed for roughly the same prices they were being sold for in November – December, causing me to question the trustworthiness of RJ’s information. Had I known that, I would not have sold my house on Opendoor, but would have sold it on the market and waited to buy one of the new homes in this community in 2024. I feel that this was a shady sales tactic, and your sales reps should not give misleading information to induce the fear of missing out. We like our home, but don’t love Lennar because of this experience and would probably not recommend you to our friends and family. ... More

The agent who sold the house to me miss-led me.

Overall experience was good, their correspondence was amazing, frequent updates on progress and closing was smooth. Meeting with a contractor and walkthrough was amazing. Build quality is average. Lennar Quality check person who was appointed during blue tape inspection was very unprofessional and rude, he was behaving as if Lennar has given home for free as a charity and any question or quality issue we raised kind of agitated him personally. I am sure this is one of employee but that experience was very unpleasant to the point I wanted to just leave deposit and not proceed with purchase. ... More

Staff was not the most friendly or responsive Missed drywall inspection

I think we had the worst experience with the Lennar team, from sales to concierge. Once you sign the initial contract, the sales team acted as if they don't know us. We tried to contact them a couple of times regarding the change in closing date from what was initially confirmed and there was absolutely no response from them. We left a couple of voicemails but no call backs or anything. Then there's another team called concierge team. This team should be renamed as the legal team as anything you ask them they take screenshots of the contract and send them to you with a note that you agreed to this. They changed the closing date by 2 months, when we asked to advance the date by one day, they did not agree. It was very frustrating dealing with them. When it comes to the quality of the build, workmanship, or the materials used, we opened around 8 tickets in one month. That should tell you something. The only saving grace is that the warranty team is very efficient in addressing the multiple support tickets that we opened. We are not sure how many more we will open in the next 11 months. ...

Would absolutely not recommend. Cut corners at every possible turn. The material used was as cheap as possible and absolutely 0 attention to detail, to the point they messed up the install of several appliances and little things like the electrical outlets aren't even flush with the wall. The buying process was no better and should have served as my first warning. Once I paid my deposit, my realtor and myself recieved absolutely no communication from the representative. I also went with them for the loan due to promotional interest rate and there were numerous issues even in this process. Not communicating issues or items that needed to be resolved, repeatedly asking for information already sent, and I had to most documents several times due to repeated mistakes which delayed the process further. The only good thing about Lennar, is that the customer care rep to get issues fixed is great. She is working with me to address as many reasonably fixable issues as she can. Overall, if you're looking to buy a house don't buy new as it seems a lot of companies are taking huge advantage of the current housing situation. If you are deadset on buying new, don't buy from Lennar, what you get for what you will pay is bad even in this market. ... More

Customer service, agent, contractor and response from the team was very bad. This is not our first home buying. When compared to others we had a bad experience here.

DO NOT USE LENNAR MORTGAGE. THEY HAVE DECEPTIVE PRACTICES AND EXCERSISE DISCRIMINATORY LENDING PRACTICES. YOU WILL FILE A COPLAINT AGAINST THEM LIKE I WILL BE DOING.!! BEWARE!

Unfortunately my buying experience wasn’t a smooth or pleasant one. The home itself is nice but the workmanship left much to be desired. Sloppy work had to be pointed out versus the workers recognizing their sloppy work and correcting it on the spot. The construction manager was awful. He did not communicate well with myself or the realtor; he failed to keep us in the loop of key milestones. When it came time for addressing issues my home inspector reported, it was always a challenge to get the issue rectified. It was one excuse after another. There was a point where the workers covered up an area that my inspector was going to reinspect once the repairs were done. As a result the area could not be inspected again. That was one instance of shady behavior. The sales people failed to step in at the very beginning when we had concerns. Once the contract was signed there was no reason for them to do anything else. My concern now is lack of street lighting anywhere near my home. It’s pitch black on my street and that is a safety/security concern especially bc I live alone. No one is able to provide answers on if and when a street light will be installed in my area of the neighborhood. I would love for someone to take my concern seriously and provide me with answers. ... More

Quality not that great. Never ever go with Lennar mortgage whatever promotional offer is given. They’ll drag you until the very last moment to give so many surprises and you’ll not be able to get the full promotional offer and you’ll feel cheated.

During the inspection before the house was delivered, we found that the concrete floor of the garage was cracked into spider webs. This is not what a new house should look like. We understand that the concrete cannot be dug out and re-poured after it is poured. We just asked for repairs until the floor looks crack-free. But your staff was perfunctory. They simply applied a layer to cover the floor. But the cracks in the concrete are still clearly visible. When we communicated and negotiated again, your people threatened that if we did not close the deal, they would confiscate our deposit. So this is the last house we bought from Lennar. We will also tell our friends not to buy houses from Lennar. ... More

I could write pages about how awful my experience has been, but to summarize things….I wish I would have never brought a house with this builder or in this neighborhood.

Build cheaper, build more, and charge twice what you would have charged three years ago. THAT’S the Lennar way.

Worst customer service! No one cares after the purchase of the home. I created a service request ticket and it was closed without any communication.

Extremely poor HOA, you are selling 3 bed homes and restricting 2 cars per home, no one mentioned these during selling time and now the selling agent Ashley doesn't even bother to respond, never going to buy from Lennar ever. We spent close to $1.5 M on properties at the community and that's the service we get Extremely disappointed and poor service

Signed our first home with lot of hopes, but we had a very bad experience with Lennar team (Sales, Mortgage). We had to close the home in APR, unfortunately my father in law was passed away during that time. We had to go to our home country for his final rituals. So we have requested for reschedule the “Final closing”. They have agreed and provided the new date. When we are at “Final closing” table, they have added 1 month penalty of 2800$ for the delay. We were shocked and surprised. Then we and our realtor called the Lennar team sales person and requested explanation of this penalty. But he was arrogant, never listened our version, instead they threatened like anything. If you withdraw now, we won’t give your deposit, he insisted like this. We had no option, either loose 2800$ or 10000$ deposit amount. We had no choise, so proceeded with the closing. Out first home, we thought it would be happy and precious moment in our life. But lennar team ruined this. I do not encourage anyone to buy a property with this company. I can share the Lennar team names who ruined our first home buying experience. ... More

Worst experience with the builder starts from sales team till handover team. They behave like monark. Very rude. Not ready to accept any of our requests. Agreement is mostly from their side (one side ). they can change what ever they want.

From signing the contract to requesting service for items covered under builder warranty has been a horrible experience. The builder is using real state agents to other bidding, who have no idea about the building process or the established standards. Everything in the construction process is contracted out to third parties that hire workers at minimum wage without any construction experience. The quality of work and finishing is awful. Their only purpose is to quickly proceed from contract to closing. Do not waste your time, money, or energy.

I feel like cheated by the front agent with the bidding process. They have made not go with the realtor stating that we would have an advantage. Later we found that it is an absolute lie. They have lied us at corporate level.

Not a great satisfaction after buying home from Lennar

One of the manager had sarcastic behavior. totally frustrated with buying process. There are lots of scenarios which describes the builder behaviour.

I am rating because of the issues I faced after I moved in. I booked remotely house in Devon Square and during inspection we showed multiple things but they didn’t fix even after months of move and even after we raised multiple requests. On top of this they also charged me $200 for inspection I dont know what that was for. Also I got the electricity bill dates before the closing date and they are asking me to pay. What ridiculous this is…

Had a bad experience with the recent buying process with builders mortgage and couple of sales rep.I am fortunate to close the house on time.

I had terrible experience, one of the sales representative was very rude and never speak politely with customers. Multiple home owners mentioned this, not sure if Lennar really want their team to rude with their customers. I am well aware of home buying process and a home owner and helped some of my friends as well with the process. There were multiple issues identified in the walkthrough and they have not written down any of those and forced me to close the house without resolving any of the issues. I reached out to sales/construction manager multiple times to resolve the issues, no response at all. I even opened a support ticket with customer care, its been almost 2 weeks mo action was done and I really dont have hope as well. Will wait for few more weeks and share my experience with all my family/friends/ community people in the area as I don’t want others to suffer this. ... More

Lots of things at home aren’t working Soap dispenser in kitchen None of the ring devices are working except for door bell (the device says already in use) Landscaping was done worstly Lots of water down pools on the concrete And the road behind our house One the window board was broken And lots of things other things I cannot get in this notes I had worst sales experience, there lots lies and cannot keep the promises. This is my second Lennar home and I am definitely there won’t be third Lennar. I am sure I am not recommending to any of my friends.
