Sales agent was great. She helped us resolve home issues even after closing when we couldn't get responses from the appropriate departments.

2 Months in and still working to have punch list items from a week prior to closing corrected. Fixed some small, simple items myself. Lennear Mortage had major issues, limited or delayed communication and issues they had were Lennar Mortgage created, they dropped the ball. Quality, low end builder grade appliances, carpeting, cabinets, etc.

Found that the quality of material used during construction are not the level expected based on price paid for home. Make sure that every part of the house is checked and perform a final walkthrough to double check that all issues have been resolved before closing.

My experience with Lennar Homes was mixed. On one hand, Omar, the builder rep, was incredibly helpful and available to answer questions. His guidance throughout the home buying process made things a bit smoother. However, one aspect that I found slightly inconvenient was their complete reliance on electronic documentation. I personally prefer having some paper documents for reference, not just QR codes to look everything up on a screen or log into a portal. Issues that were found during inspection were addressed prior to move-in, there were a couple of items that required attention post-occupancy. Still funding things but Thanks to omar & Richard things get resolved in a timely manner! Overall, if you're comfortable with a fully digital process, Lennar Homes, with Omar's assistance, could be a great choice for your next home purchase. Lenar Mortgage: My experience with Lennar Mortgage left a lot to be desired. The entire process felt unnecessarily exhausting due to their insistence on a fully electronic process. There was no flexibility provided to receive contract documents, or for the loan officer, Jon, to review any of the loan documents with us in person. Adding to the frustration was the required use of their portal, Lennar Track, which was plagued with constant technical issues accessing our file or documents. A very frustrating experience for my husband and I. On a positive note, I must acknowledge Tammy for her pleasant demeanor and helpfulness during and after closing. ... More

Sidewalks and driveways are atrocious. Footprints in both and marked and discolored. Construction dust in basement and garage. Two doors painted in different finishes, on the same door. No sump pump was installed, but that was quickly resolved.

Home buying experience was challenging. Bait and switch was a tactic employed by sales manager at our site. In the end we purchased a house with most of options we desired. We settled much earlier than planned and made things stressful. Comments made by sales manager (not site sales rep) were unprofessional and insulting. We are happy with our home - but…

Home buying experience mixed. Pushed to close early, A LOT of craftsmanship issues with building of house - paint splotches on floor, mismatched paint used on walls, gouges in shower stall and tub etc.

I loved my representative. The quality of the workmanship is a different question. It felt like the bare minimum was done and I was left to catch all the mistakes, and there were many. One example is that my property line extended 5 feet further than any dirt work or landscaping was performed. The side of my yard is at such an angle and rough that you can’t walk on it. Last minute, and half dead sod with a grass that does not match the rest of the yard was laid the day before closing. The side of my house is a hot mess. All concrete is cracked to pieces. No action was taken. I was told that unless it is. 1/4 inch wide, it was not their responsibility. To top it all off, I was showed the neighboring clubhouse and pool when viewing the site. When we attempted to go, we were turned away and told that we have our own pool and it is under construction. We cannot enter any pool except the one in our neighborhood, whenever it is complete. After two months of checking our mail every day, I finally went to the post office to find out what was happening because I did not receive a single piece of mail during that time. Turns out that to this day, there is no mail service in our neighborhood and we must drive to the other side of town and pick our mail up at the post office. I am seriously doubting my choice here. ... More

Electrical issues. Air unit does not cool the upper level well. Hard to plug into the outlet. Paint used is flat except for the wet areas. They should of given an option.

This is our second Lennar home. That's why we came to them. The quality of the workmanship is not as good as it used to be. We felt that everything was rushed. Maybe they had deadlines to meet. The closing was another disaster. Very impersonal. Again pushy to get it done by a certain date. Wouldn't accept we wanted to wait even though we gave them a substantial deposit.

I’ve owned three Lennar built homes. The first two were exceptionally well built However, my current new built home that I just purchased has many issues with building Materials and craftsmanship. Lennar is working with me on my list of issues so hopefully all will be good in time.

First I would like to say that Tish was very helpful! We were scheduled to close escrow on Thursday 5/02/24. That has been our scheduled closing date for almost two months. Well that didn't happen. We didn't close escrow yesterday and we did not get and do not have access to our house as of this morning Friday 5/03. I had a lot of things scheduled for our house this morning that I had to scramble to reschedule. We signed all of our loan documents on Tuesday 5/01 and Lennar Title received our closing funds on Tuesday 5/01 as well. My wife and I are pretty easy going people and we both are very understanding that things happen. The main issue here was the major lack of communication during this entire process, especially over the last few days as we are getting ready to close escrow. This is our first house that we are purchasing and were expecting a much more pleasant experience. The lack of communication has been an issue during the entire process dating all the way back to when I first inquired about the home. We were just sitting around waiting to receive a call, text, or email giving us instructions on how to enter our new home because it is now officially ours. Had I not reached out to anyone I would have had no idea what was going on and that we were not going to be given access to our new home yesterday. I was also given false information. I sent a email at 9am on our closing date to get an idea on when we will be given access to our new house and I was told that everything was sent over to the County recorder and once you guys received confirmation from the county we will be given access to our new home. We continued to follow up yesterday via email and were told they were still waiting on confirmation from the county. At 4:45pm I called Lennar Title and was told that nothing was ever sent to the county because they have not received the final sign off from the builder. So I didn't find out that we were not going to get access to our new home until 4:45pm on the day that we supposed to close escrow and I wouldn't have even found out unless I picked up the phone and called! I never received a call from anyone at least giving me a heads up stating that they were still waiting to receive the final sign off from the builder. I didn't know what or who to believe anymore. I just feel like there was a lot of finger pointing during this entire process and no one is willing to take any accountability. I can go on and on but I am not going to. ... More

For price home should have more upgrades, Materials and workmanship only average, found many things were substandard, eg…kitchen granite counter edges were very sharp, not rounded and smooth, tile grout lines not sealed, garage floor had multi cracks etc. Most faults not visible during walkthrough.

Lennar is a middle entry level home. The craftsmanship is poor, the materials are lower quality and they are non apologetic for the lack of quality. Their favorite line when you look at the poor paint jobs on doors, door frames, trim, etc is "stand six feet in front of it with normal lighting conditions and if you can't see the imperfection from there......well then it doesn't exist". If their subcontractors damage the trim while doing their job they don't replace the trim......they put bondo on it and repaint it. The problem is when you sand MDF is doesn't take a paint job the same way. Oh well. ... More

I didn't find Lennar had any good communication with buyer

I think this builder doesn't pay enough attention to details. I've had far too many issues that indicate to me that the build was a rush job. Issues with the stove, dishwasher, cosmetic oversights, the almost dead sod/grass in my backyard, even down to the amount of studs in the wall that make it difficult to mount a TV in the living room. The design of the home is beautiful but it seems this builder has cut corners to save on costs. And these oversights have caused me to open a lot of service tickets for fixes when if they just took their time and reviewed their work, none of these issues wouldn't have arisen. ... More

As I said, it was a nightmare, completing the application process for financials and warranty way more stressful than it should’ve been. Belt rushed every step of the way to the point we could not read the contract.

Lennar has a rigid process that meets the timing of their commitments. Unfortunately the actual building process is a slam bam get it done and fix it later approach. As a result the workmanship is poor with no incentive for the trades people to do quality work. Our experience has been you get it done poorly the first time. Then they respond quickly and positively to your request only to fix it and leave you with another poor quality fix and/or a different problem. The whole process is very very frustrating.

Bought a home that was already being built. Got a good interest rate through Lennar Mortgage and felt like we got the house at a very reasonable price. Only complaint was that they didn’t include glass front doors like the pictures and all the other homes in the community.

The buying process with agent was great. It’s when things were not up to standards and you get no help it’s the problem. We still have a damaged bathroom we can not use. The build is sloppy and there’s a lot of things that look like they were rushed. Cutting corners. The sales part was good but not sure I would buy another Lennar again.

Overall, the house is pretty nice and was one of the better options in the area. However, there are multiple small things that show rushed construction and the use of cheaper materials (e.g., paint splatters/drips, CHEAP vinyl flooring that gets damaged from dropping even small/light things, a complete lack of towel/shower rods and cabinet/drawer handles, tiny screws for door hinges that are often stripped from overusing power tools which leads to sagging doors, tons of nails sticking through the OSB wall boards from missing frame beams during installation, wavy walls, and carpet edge trim only installed in 3/6 places that it should be). Our warranty service team has been very responsive and done their best to work with us on getting any issues addressed. We’ve had a bathroom exhaust fan replaced and a sagging door repaired in the first month of ownership. Both service requests were addressed promptly and respectfully. We are also working with our warranty team to get some paint because we have NOT received the extra paint that was promised during purchasing. One of the sales representatives (Carlo) is awful to work with. He is generally not responsive and disinterested in whatever you have to say. When Carlo does respond, his communication feels very condescending and disrespectful. Every interaction with Carlo leaves us feeling like he is just TOO IMPORTANT to even consider being respectful to us in his communications. He has been the worst part of the home buying experience with Lennar. On the other side of things, a different representative (Gwen) has been amazing in trying her best to help us where Carlo would not. Lennar’s data privacy procedures definitely need some improvement. Sharing people’s personal contract data is a major breach of privacy that could lead to harmful situations (e.g., someone’s stalker learns their new address, workplace, etc.). ... More

Overall. Not a pleasant experience from start to finish!

Lack of amenities. Poor material used to build home. Have to install basic necessities in home. Indoor door handles were installed on exterior doors.

Getting issues corrected after we moved in was a real hassle. There are too many people to deal with. One person says they will take care of something and drops the ball. Another says to file a report on line with Lennar. All in all you waste your time waiting for people who never show up!!
