Lennar Reviews

A handful of items were not complete at the time builder delivered the home, including the lanai being uninstalled. We brought up the issue a week before closing and nothing was done to address our concern. We were asked to close despite the home being incomplete at the time of delivery.

Overall experience with the purchase was not that bad actually was pretty good. There was lotta issues with equipment, including air-conditioning, washer, dryer, finishes and not working lights. It took a long time to get everything fixed although the air condition was pretty fast through Bayonet Plumbing, our air condition actually broke three times in one week. We had to get a new washer and because Lennar gives pretty basic appliances. We just had to upgrade to a front loader, which I think should be no-brainer to be included in the purchase as top loaders is just the stuff from the past. The plastic finishes on our appliances is very hideous. There is very little cost difference between stainless steel appliances and whichever garbage looking plastic that we got I also talk to fuel homeowners and the first thing they did is change their appliances because everyone thinks they’re just hideous. No one wants to have plastic looking appliances in their beautiful kitchen. The best experience we had was getting a mortgage with David. The process was just unbelievable and he was so fast and David was just on top of everything. He was just the best of the best. We can’t get rid of the smell of the paint from the house. ... More

Let me start with, we love our home and the neighborhood. Our buying experience was mediocre at best from the time they started building our house. Lennar was not and still is not as customer oriented as I would have expected. We felt we had to "fight" for everything we asked for. Prior to the house even getting started, we wanted to purchase the paint ourselves and have it painted, they refused. We did not want carpet, they finally accepted. On our pre-walk through, we identified so many defects in the house. The entire island had to be taken out and redone, the floors had to be fixed, the painting was awful, in fact when my painter came in after the closing, he touched up paint that he said was done "as if a child had painted". His words. There was paint on the floors and just splashed a round. We had been told blinds would be hung and they weren't on closing day. This almost caused us to walk out on the closing. I would have expected the craftsmanship to be far better than what we saw. I have now been in the house for 60 days and have talked with other new buyers and unfortunately, they have the same complaints. In fact, the unfortunate person who is the supervisor, doesn't even like to drive in the neighborhood. As I said, we love our home but due to everything we have experienced and what we are hearing from other buyers, we are going through our home with a fine tooth comb to ensure everything is good. ...

Few items that were not working when I moved: 1) Water heater: I lived without hot water for 10 days. Water heater has been replaced. 2) Air conditioning: One of the A/C was not working. Tech came in and replaced the parts and good now. 3) Cracked basement: Even though new construction, basement has a 7 feet cracked before I moved. 4) Water leaking: When they started sprinkle, water leaked from pipe and still leaking. means Lennar used very cheap material. 5) Siding wood already started peeling and curved. 6) Already started peeling the paint several areas. 7) 3 areas windows glass are going to replace b/c of poor quality and not meet basic requirements. My final conclusion: Used cheaper material, so don't recommend buying Lennar house to my family and friends. ... More

The positive was the on-site construction manager (Will) who was communicative and responsive. The Lennar mortgage process (Robert) was straightforward and managed the process well. Be aware that the advertised “Everything’s Included” is not accurate. Not included: basic blinds, refrigerator, washer/dryer, unfinished garage, mirror in powder room, and no irrigation system or plan for the lawn. Our community also has an unfinished wall that is grotesque and an eyesore evident to the entire town. Internet cables located in the walls are a bust and shoddily placed. Ours didn’t work and a cable now dangles on the outside of the house and runs up to the attic. So far, the warranty representative (John) has been attentive, but the cable wiring outcome remains. Some features of the home are designed well: iron ballisters on staircase and nice vinyl plank floors; and some are poor such as the double door in the master bathroom which will need a general contractor to reconstruct. The sales department is uncommunicative and unable to answer basic questions about the home. Our sales representative lacked any knowledge of the physical features and could not tell us anything about the community or the home. After a certain point and leading up to and through closing, we never heard from her again. ... More

I love my new home. The sales agent was very responsive to calls and helpful when an issue came up. However the building site managers during our build were not responsive,did not stay in contact as promised,did not address issues that were brought up and promised to be fixed.This was an issue since we were buying from out of state.Finally LeRoy Pratt stepped in and immediately addressed all of our concerns. Thank God. Now we close. 1st week in our house the air conditioner breaks, the 1 st week the toilet doesn’t work, few weeks later the sprinklers are leaking all over. Most issues were fixed within a reasonable amount of time. The ac the entire blower had to be replaced and this took a long time. So these are the reasons for my 3 star review. Sales lady excellent, LeRoy Pratt Excellent!!!! drywall, ac, toilet, paint, construction site mgrs the 3 different ones we had not impressed at all. ... More

There was misinformation given to me,house and property.

During the process of purchasing my first home, it all started off really well. Once it started getting closer to the final close out date, I began having issues with the construction team. The first instance that occurred was me finding a crack pipe in the guest bathroom. Then there was a lot of rescheduling due to them leaving the house dirty and muddy. They also snapped my AT&T Fiber Cable when they were laying dirt for sod and failed to take accountability for it. So many instances that piled up on one another, but at least the finance team made up for the inconvenience of the Construction Team. ... More

The home buying process wasn't too bad, but there was always a sense of urgency to do something because of the Lennar representatives. It was almost like we were pressured into buying in less than a month. There after moving in, there were a couple things missing from the home. It wasn't until almost 3 weeks after moving in someone brought what was needed. A service request needed to be submitted and a video call required, but there was no need for it. The Lennar home came with "Smart Home" features, but there was not a single Lennar rep that stopped by or would help. When signing there was multiple errors, and no one was able to provide a definite down payment amount. Besides that particular experience, everything went smoothly and I was able to apply a pretty good deal on the home which was the ultimate reason for the purchase. I would buy a Lennar again, but would definitely keep a list of things to keep my eyes on to make sure they are fulfilled before closing. ... More

Owned a few Lennar homes over the years and I fell like the quality has gone down. Also the everything is included motto no longer exists. I had to put in a back yard and blinds on main level that I haven’t had to do on previous homes. Also wasn’t too happy with the games from the sales side. Thought it could have been handled better.

processing job (getting IRS transcript, multiple job verification, same request many times. ) My son is a loan officer too, lennar price and title paid, made me go thru lennar. But, he was saying, paystub, and bank statement and IRS transcript is all automatically pulled, if client gives permission.

No thanks, nothing stands out to mention

Overall experience was good. Like the villa. Some attention to detail a little lax,

We wish there was more support and clarity from the staff for various milestones. On closing we didn't get to experience anything special about our repeat purchase with Lennar.

I am sorry but this house was put together way too quick where the quality of the work was less than professional. To have my Construction Supervisor ignore my realtor and myself with question speaks volumes after the closing. I have had great luck with the warranty representative helping me remedy the issues I have encountered in the house along with workers who are part of the repairs. I have been here over a month and still getting my list of issues taken care of.

Communication is key, we had some and then we didn’t. Although the process of providing paperwork was painful, it got done. As a veteran, there should be more support on the process on getting you tax exemptions submitted. After purchase, I want to commend Travis who has made the post sale awesome. Always ready to help resolve issues that come up. You should do something for him. A raise,or promotion?

The quality of the work is good, except there are a few issues that I contacted but never got resolved.

We bought our Lennar home recently, we did the blue tape walk through yet most of what we taped off was never taken care of. We were told that the paint on our windows would be gone as well and that we would get the extra screens we were missing which didn’t happen until recently paint still there and the screens don’t fit. We have had some issues with the way our laundry closet was set up by the builders we put in a ticket and the plumber who came out flat out said he wouldn’t take care of it even though it was their company that messed it up. We also had some flooring lift up and two kids came in with gorilla glue and “fixed” the flooring… a few issues have been fixed but for the most part it’s been a joke none the less. I’m thankful for our home and the price we paid just dissatisfied with the way Lennar handles things. ... More

I had two significant plumbing leaks after moving in. Customer service was very responsive but it was especially inconvenient to have contractors in and out of home for over three weeks for repairs. That was in addition to basic paint/cabinet repairs to address poor workmanship. I was expecting better quality for the price.

Over all I am disappointed with the experience so far. There has been little to no communication regarding the outstanding items. Many of our neighbors are all so frustrated with the lack of progress and communication. There seems to be more emphasis on starting a home than finishing it. There is garbage all over from construction, I was picking it up but after several black trash bags a week I am done picking up after the construction crews. We (us and neighbors) are very concerned about how the area will look when and if they get it complete.

Sales person was difficult to get a hold of and the process was a bit chaotic especially at the end. Wish things were a little more customizable, like adding a walk in/stone shower, a covered back patio, different backsplash choices etc. Those options are VERY limited but for the price we got more home than with other builders. Overall happy with the home and Lennar has been responsive to a few issues that have popped up since we moved in.

The process was fine except for the closing date being pushed so many times i almost lost hope. But that kind of thing is expected.

We overall like Monroe Parke and our new townhouse. We had quite a few issues before moving in and after (paint was sub par with lots of missed areas). The major issue was the rain that leaked into my office. It was a pretty big deal and even now, I don't know if there's already damage done. I wish the development has more open space, park, field space. Not much outdoor space considering this is a new development and built in an open field.

Our customer service experience has been disappointing. The home was not clean when we did our walkthrough nor was it clean when we signed off although we were promised it would be. The floors were covered with dust and dirt and paint spots throughout when we moved in. We had to call our customer service rep - he never responded. After reaching out that evening and including Donnie, he responded first thing the next morning and he himself came over to inspect the situation. He then immediately sent someone over who spent over two hours removing paint spots from our floors followed by a cleaning crew to clean them. Very disappointing to move into my brand new house with filthy, spot-ridden floors that we were told TWICE would be ( and should have been) clean BEFORE we moved in. Thank goodness our furniture had not arrived until a few days later. Donnie was a wonderful asset throughout our experience - always quick to respond and communicative. Angela was good about responding as well. Unfortunately the dirty floor incident really tainted our move in experience. The build quality of the home is good but not great. Lots of small things were done sloppily such as paint trim, excess concrete splotches around the doors and foundation lines, drywall imperfections, etc. we have several warped kitchen cabinets that indicated new ones were ordered on 3/16 during our walkthrough that we just recently found out from Kurt were never ordered so now we are still waiting for those. The point is, human error happens, we get that, but there has definitely been a lack of follow through to rectify the issues. This is our second Lennar new home purchase and we had high expectations for this one since the first home we bought in University Ridge in Reno in 2007 was such a great experience but unfortunately the bar was lowered. If Lennar wanted us to feel special as a homebuyer your team (with the exception of Donnie) fell very short. ... More

Would have liked to have had more flexibility in making minor changes.
