Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

We are really pleased with the construction quality of our new home. Our construction manager Wyatt did a great job and was able to deliver the home on schedule!

Everyone was awesome… starting w Matt to Ian Paige Margie and Colin. Great job everyone!

It was an awesome journey through out the process from find the best fit plan for our need till closure. Since this is my first time experiencing the process of owning a home, it is memorable. Thanks for the support from Lennar team.

Great experience from the initial orientation to closing. Very responsive and helpful.

I have to admit I was not looking to buy new construction after all the horror stories I had heard and read about. However, the deal on the Lennar home I ended up purchasing was too good to pass up. I believe the workmanship and choice of materials has been better than expected. Of course, nothing is perfect and there have been a few very minor issues so far but the response from the warranty team has been excellent. Fingers crossed that as time goes on, there are no hidden problems that reveal themselves, but so far, so good!

Concrete work is subpar, and the tolerance for Lennar's acceptance is unacceptable. Finance bounce is a game. The broker can't read the tax return and treats the customer like trash because of the bounce. Lennar should do something about it. I lost $10000, maybe the loan officer didn't like my accent.

Every information shared was in detail. All the questions were answered. People are very kind and cooperative

This was our first time home. The experience was pretty good start from booking to closing . Lennar not only takes care of you at every step of the home but also makes sure that you are settled happily .the service request are also taken care in a timely manner . Happy with my decision

Overall quality is OK - biggest complaint is the sheer amount of trash left over from the builders. Rusty metal pins, screws/nails, shingles, concrete pour-over from the patio in the grass. Nightmare for anyone with kids or pets!!

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

If I wouldn't have lost my deposit I would have backed out of this purchase. I visited the home site just about every week during construction. I was always finding discrepancies and poor workmanship. They would fix just enough to appease me but it was still just the minimum. A crack in the slab almost all the way across from one side to the other, crooked wall plates, waves in the walls, loose studs, gaps in the sheathing, poor scarf joints in the molding, the list goes on. I told the construction manager that he needed to correct the subs for their poor work and was told "if we're too hard on them they'll quit and go work for someone else". Having some construction experience and seeing the things I saw during the build, I would not recommend this builder to anyone I considered a friend. ... More

Everyone we worked with was great

I’d like to recognize Parker our CM who did an incredible job following through on issues raised and his focus on the customer. Also, Donna, the loan agent, was just a great person to work with! Both of these folks are A+ in my book…Thank you both!

The experience was wonderful and the builder were great too , at the final stage of the paper work I had a really bad experience and I don’t want anyone to go thru that again it was at the point that I got so much anxiety that got sick and ended up in the hospital for 24 hours ….. She should be more professional with her work and at time needs to learn how to treat first time buyer ….. at that end of the wonderful day it just made me feel like really bad … But now I’m so happy other people have been great and I thank you all

Lennar delivered right on time as promised. It was disappointing that even the smallest request ( leave the wire clothing rods off and I’ll do my own) was not even considered. Mackenzie (sales representative) was snarky and hard to deal with. I also wanted a small name change from the contract to the closing documents and wouldn’t even consider ( cost me an additional $82 to add a quit claim deed to make name change after closing) and I paid cash for the home. I am very satisfied with the overall construction and appliances; though w/d could be more sturdy.

HOME GOT DONE ON TIME AND CAME OUT REALLY NICE

Great experience and a stress free way to build a home!

We began our purchasing journey later in the build process. Colin was our GC through the end. He was very proactive at catching issues and resolving them quickly. He was completely transparent and upfront about what the issue was and how it would be taken care of. He's a real asset to the Lennar company and your brand.

My overall experience was 4 stars. If we were provided everything that was initially offered when the sales person walked us through the house, we would have rated it a 5 star. But as we got into the conversation with our agent and Lennar, things started falling apart; no appliances were to be provided (yet other spec homes were having appliances delivered to other homes in the same state as the one we were looking at), resolution to the promised appliances wasn't the same level of compensation, the house was "cleaned" before our walkthrough with Nichole (construction manager) and there were many areas that needed to be recleaned. The standards for a homebuyer is much greater than the builder and at the end of the day, I would have liked to see the builder's team to think as if it was their house and would they be okay with the outcome. Lennar mortgage, Christy, was great to deal with throughout the process. She was quick to respond and explain things thoroughly. The warranty department has been quick to tackle some minor issues post moving in and I've been happy with this experience. In the end, the sales team started the home purchasing off on the wrong foot. If Lennar could get the sales team to not lie or mislead, the homebuying experience would have been great. And this is not my first time purchasing new construction so I do have previous experience in what a great experience looks like. Thank you. ... More

The sales team at my subdivision was wonderful. However, the building process and the quality of my home is not worth the price point. I had to spend more money to correct cracked floors, a broken truss and framing that included “organic growth” that the builder said wasn’t mold. I have barely been in my home 60days and it’s clear that there was no attention given to detail. The ceilings are already separating from crown molding, walls separating from baseboards, issues pointed out at the final walk-through have reappeared.and window sills separating. In my mind, some of that is to be expected within six months to a year, but less than three months? For the price point, the craftsmanship is disappointing to say the least. ... More

Good communication and trustworthy and nice

Lenner drives to be a builder who cares about buyer experiences and this has hired buyer concierge and new home celebrations etc, but in really it doesn’t matter and the same old working model and vendor management is in place. Construction Manager pushes things to vendors and don’t follow up properly to ensure the issues are taken care off. New home celebration guy just shows up to make paint touch ups. People put hard earned money into these investments - do you think it is a joke?

Very responsive to your needs with any issues

I hope that someone is reading this. This is my second experience with this builder and unfortunately it wasn't satisfactory, again. Starting from raising the price after agreeing and paying the deposit, to the mediocre communication level throughout the building process, to the closing day to discover zillion type of "fees" - such as $750 paid to the builder to continue building the community! -, to receiving the wrong keys of the house because of which I can't change the schlage code until today, to time after receiving the house to discover that a door missing a knob, the heating system is not working, the water heater in not working, which I called them about and they sent someone to fix it. Lately, I discovered that the shower glass door doesn't latch perfectly, and attic pull down stick is broken. Mostly, when I called the builder representative, I didn't get but referrals to other staff or the closing lawyer. In a nutshell, I was hoping to feel the builder/staff as a team to back you off, instead of the I and Them sort of relationship! Part of this sad experience is on me, but I just didn't expected a new constructed house of about $500k to be like this. Maybe, I should have left the deposit (just about $15k) and quit all together from the very beginning. I'm surely not happy in general. Note: If someone is wondering why would I deal with the this builder twice, it's just because I needed to be close to my daughter and granddaughters. ... More

This is my second new home from Lennar. They are mass production builders. You get what they spec. I wanted a gas tankless water heater and despite the water heater being next to gas lines and the builder even drilling the exhaust hole in the siding they would not let me pay to upgrade. Make sure to do inspections. There were 3 structural defects that were pointed out to them then addressed. I loved my lot but wished I could have tweaked the interior a bit.
