Lennar Reviews

I am a 100% Disabled Combat Veteran with certain health issues. Everything was going great with the whole process home buying process, until after the closing. That's when it all fell apart. I wanted to fence in the very small backyard and have pavers put down before my family moved in. I have mobility issues when walking through grass so the pavers were the perfect choice. After closing I submitted my paperwork for the fence to be installed with the HOA. We'll, they contacted me and said they were waiting on the paperwork from Lennar. A week or so later with no call, I contacted them again. Then I find out someone at Lennar FAILED to submit my Closing Packet to the HOA. So, here I am waiting to have the fence installed before I can have the pavers put in and time is running out before I can actually move in. We planned to move in May 22 so that the fence and then pavers could be installed. Keep in mind, I closed on the house April 28th. So now were we'll over a month and still NO Closing Packet has been submitted to the HOA from Lennar. The HOA could not tell me who to contact to fix the issue saying that it's Lennar not them. I could not get help from Lennar as I was constantly being passed off to someone else. Seems nobody knows. So, my dream of moving into my COMPLETED and Functional Lennar home is GONE. So now, my happiness and excitement has been taken away by Lennar and their neglect to their customer who is also a 100% Disabled Combat Veteran with health issues. My dream of being able to go into my backyard with no safety concerns because of my health issues has been taken away from me. It would have been nice to enjoy my backyard, but now all I can do is look at it but not enjoy it. I am disappointed in Lennar for their lack of properly doing their job for their customer who just bought one of their homes. I am truly disappointed and hurt from this experience. Lennar customers deserve better than this and especially for the disabled and the 100% Disabled Combat Veterans, like myself. I'm sure i will NEVER hear from Lennar because I am just a nobody that everyone has forgotten. ... More

I purchased a "Qucik Move In" home. I am someone who likes to thoroughly read everything that I am signing, to make sure I completely understand what I am signing but I was rushed and they attempted to hurry me along with the signing telling me several times "Its all standard" - well - I have never bought a home before so I dont have a clue what the standard is! On top of that, once we did sign, and got final full approval, we did our first home walk through, and even that felt like we were being rushed through in order to not find all the flaws, and issues with a NEW HOME BUILD. We decided to come back ourselves AFTER that initial walk through before we accepted the home to thoroughly spend more time looking at everything, and we found a lot more areas that needed fixed. There is no pride in their work. They hire electricians that are not licensed. There were loose cables at our electrical panel that had to be later fixed. I cannot stress ENOUGH - HIRE AN INSPECTOR!!!! He found they improperly wired our home with the wrong color cable and then they painted it at the panel to show like it was correct. We have a wall that is literally wavy and they're telling me they may not fix it because they are stating the wall can be inside of a 1/2" on a 12-ft area of a wall but they are misquoting the ROC standards. ROC standards show it is 1/4" but that doesnt even matter. Ours is out of standards, as it is 3/4" or more in some areas. . Just do your research on what home builder you buy with. No home is ever going to be 100% perfect, but this appears to just be lazy workmanship. ... More

There was no hot water when we moved in, the washing machine didn't work. The dryer was tripping the breaker, which needed to be replaced. The front door entrance was poorly designed, causing you to get drenched from rain, making it virtually impassible. We requested several times for the front door area to be power washed from excessive dust, it never happened! Stay on top of Lennar for these types of things. That said, they did respond fairly quickly to address most issues. We will have to come out of pocket to fix the rain/front door issue.

Buying a Lennar home was a frustrating experience from start to finish. Closing was delayed, and the house wasn’t ready for inspection — the HVAC wasn’t installed, and the gas wasn’t on. Basic features like light fixtures, cabinet pulls, and lawn irrigation weren’t included, which is disappointing for the price. The yard is thick clay with no topsoil, causing drainage issues and sod that struggles to take root. We also faced a significant problem that Lennar refused to address until the city got involved. In hindsight, I’d spend a bit more on a builder that stands behind their work.

Was sold a bill of goods regarding the solar agreement and are currently in arrears with our electric provider due to Sunnova’s inaction to uphold the agreement as stated in multiple emails and phone calls. Do NOT sign with Sunnova!!

Lennar collects a vast volume of totally confidential information, much more than is necessary for me to be proven as a responsible buyer and payer. I do not believe this information is stored in a suitably secure manner. I worry about my identity being stolen by others or shared with others I do not want it shared with by Lennar. We sign waaaaay too many documents giving Lennar the right to own our lives. I do not trust Lennar!!!!!! Most of the staff we dealt with are great.

I will say that the home is built with the lowest cost of materials possible, the interior paint is very poor in quality, and I believe it is only a primer coat, there was no garage door opener installed and we had to pay $500,00 to get that installed, the water pressure in the neighborhood is very poor and most of the new owners are very upset with the water pressure because you can't water the lawn because there is not enough pressure to run a sprinkler, take a shower, do laundry! I have had several issues with the house that need repair and can't get anyone to come out and repair it! I get told that someone will be out, but they don't show up!! No sense of urgency to meet my request for repairs. My wife and I feel that during the purchase process everything sounds perfect and how Awesome Lennar takes care of the Owner, but after the deal is done, the true colors come out and nothing gets done!!! So, overall My Opinion is that we would not purchase a Lennar home knowing what we know now!! Unless Lennar steps up and comes through with the promises they put forth, I will never reccomend a Lennar home! One final thought, The toilet in the guest bathroom is all but tipping over because the floor is so out of level the toilet doesn't mount flush to the floor!! I have called the number given for the plumber to repair it but like always, nothing has been done and I have been waiting for 5 days now for this to be repaired! what I'm being told by the plumber is " someone will be out today, but nobody ever shows up" not even a phone call telling me they wont be out!!! Very unprofessional indeed. ... More

This is our second home with Lennar, and unfortunately, the experience this time was disappointing, especially with their financial services and closing process. There was no formal welcome or acknowledgment during the closing — not even a basic walkthrough or someone to greet us. For a repeat customer, this felt impersonal and careless. What made it worse was the complete lack of any gesture of appreciation. No closing goodies or even a simple thank you — something we had received before. This change made it feel like Lennar is now more focused on profits than on customer relationships. The way the house keys were handed over was frankly unacceptable. They were left in a plain envelope, which felt cold and thoughtless for such a major milestone. No guidance, no explanation, nothing. It gave the impression that once the transaction was complete, we were no longer of any importance. Lennar used to feel more customer-centric, but this recent experience made it clear that things have become much more commercial and impersonal. I expected better, especially as a returning buyer. ... More

I was verbally promised backyard grass and 3 trees upon moving in to my new Lennar build (as incentive). It’s been 4 weeks since move in and I have 2 trees and no grass in the backyard. Lennar will do the bare minimum for you as a customer because they only care about moving you in fast! Be careful.

Unfortunately day3 of moving in I had a leak that caused the spare room to have to have the carpet removed and the wall. It only has been a month and a half and I still have a dirty makeshift cover in my bedroom for the contractors which is ripped. I had to have multiple attempts for them to figure out the sewage issue. It wasn’t until I left a review that Bayonet the contractor they use actually did something. My next problem is my AC it’s only cooling on one side of the house. However, I had to please the insatiable underwriter when trying to purchase for then to not be able to use my toilet on day 3. Highly unfair. ... More

Our salesman was were very nice but i felt his hands were tied on virtually everything.

Everything we were told was not actually true! They stretched the truth about all costs & bills, including insurance. Flood insurance & work that needed to be done before closing! We spent over $1,000 just to fly down for walk through which they said all work would be done before we move it & it was a waste of our time & money!!! Nothing was fixed before we moved in!!!

My house has many cheaply and sloppy done workmanship. Chalking is messy in many areas, clay sand under the appliances in the kitchen, countertops are not the best quality you would expect from the price I paid for the house. There are no towel racks installed in the bathrooms, which should be a standard item in every home purchased. The floor quality is not the best either, the carpet does not have proper padding underneath, a must for getting the best wear out of your carpet. The houses in Blue Ridge Village are being built too fast and good quality is missing.

No TV No Mail No Internet. Been almost 2 months, I Would not recommend Lennar to anyone.

The model being used was the same floorplan, but 180 square feet larger, so visually misleading. Changes were made to the floorplan on the website without notifying buyers. Lennar decided on a massive price reduction several months after we signed the purchase contract, so most neighbors paid substantially less than we did. We were unaware of the price reduction prior to closing in February.

I didn’t have a good experience, I think if I could go back I would choose another builder .

After spending about two moths in the home, we are more and more disappointed in the quality of construction at this location. We installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom, went to the breaker box to turn off the switch and couldn’t get the power to the switch off despite turning off every breaker in the box labeled for outlets and switches. Tried to install a storage unit in the garage that hangs from the ceiling. Seems pretty basic rafters are supposed to be 16” on center. Well these ones are 24 which must be the new code. Noticed my stud finder wasn’t picking them up at 24” so went into the attic to measure and no two rafters are equally spaced. The distances ranged from 24” to 27”. Ended up not being able to install the ceiling storage because we couldn’t get a total of 96” which should have just been 4 rafters. Already have burnt out lights in the master bathroom shower, backyard drains towards the house, as do the gutters in the courtyard. There are plenty of additional issues that have been popping up, needless to say the list of repairs needed at the one year time frame is going to be lengthy. ... More

Great points - processing the loan only took 4-6 weeks to complete. Sprinkler system is included. Tankless water heater. Not so great - Mortgage loan officer needs better communication with buyer so there are no surprises when it comes to paying closing costs. Sending multiple closing costs disclosures creates confusion on the buyer Not so great - House bought for $245k does not live up to par with the house I bought 3 years ago for $219k. The house is built as basic as it can be. No linen cabinets, no towel bars in bathrooms (seriously?!), no glass enclosure for shower in master bathroom, not even a doorbell. It is so basic that it feels like moving into an office building with little or no thought as to what was being built. They just built it for how much they can get out of it than building a future family home. Finishing touches around the bathroom tub and stand in shower were so sloppy. The grout or whatever it is was just slapped on the fiberglass and wasn’t smoothened out at all. The customer service person could have at least find a way to correct it instead of explaining why that doesn’t make sense. My son owns a Lennar home and I was impressed with his house. Aside from the reason of buying a home closer to my daughter, I chose Lennar Home as my forever home because of my impression with my son’s home. I was very, very disappointed, to say the least. ...

Used the cheapest of the cheapest. From materials, to plants, etc.

Great house but terrible customer service.

Extremely Disappointed with Lennar – Unorganized, Misleading, and Frustrating Experience: My home buying experience with Lennar has been nothing short of disappointing. From the start, I encountered numerous inefficiencies, misinformation, and poor communication—and unfortunately, these are just a few examples among many. 1. Incompetent Lending Process: Lennar outsources its underwriting process to a foreign country, which caused serious delays and inefficiencies. The loan officer provided confusing and inconsistent instructions regarding debt payoff in order to qualify. I was told to cut a check to the titling company, who would then issue a check to my creditor—which I had to physically deliver. This convoluted process ended up failing because the creditor couldn’t accept the check due to a mismatch in payment requirements. It was evident that the loan officer lacked a full understanding of the process, eroding any trust I had in Lennar’s in-house lending team. 2. Multiple Pushbacks on Closing: Despite having ample time, my loan officer failed to prepare necessary documents in time, resulting in several closing date delays. Each delay was incredibly disruptive and costly on my end, yet there was no accountability from Lennar. 3. Broken Promises from the Builder and Sales Rep: I was pressured into signing off on incomplete items just to meet their internal closing quotas—with the promise that these items would be finished post-closing. After closing, the construction MANAGER essentially disappeared and became unresponsive. Additionally, the sales rep misrepresented several features of the home, including the sprinkler system and a Wi-Fi-enabled garage, both of which were non-functional or nonexistent. The contract also listed a smart home key, which I never received. 4. Unresponsive Concierge Service: Lennar’s concierge was virtually useless. I was never informed that my first walkthrough was cancelled. I showed up expecting the walkthrough, only to find no one there. I didn’t even receive an email or phone call. The rescheduling wasn’t even addressed until three days later, showing a clear lack of professionalism and coordination. ⸻ Bottom Line: Buying a home should be exciting—not filled with stress, delays, and mistrust. Lennar failed to meet even the basic standards of customer service and communication. Not to mention the poor quality for the price paid. I would not recommend them to anyone considering a new home. Proceed with caution. ... More

The home buying experience was not pleasant. Our salesman was good, but when we had to deal with construction, things took a turn for the worse. This isn’t our first home, so we knew the process. When we pointed out flaws or issues, we were told, “this isn’t a custom home.” I wasn’t asking for one, but I was asking for quality work to be done. It doesn’t need to be a custom home for the workmanship to be up to par. The first woman that was assigned to us for quality control check was extremely unprofessional. She was rude and condescending, and when we would point out an issue, all she would say was, “that’s in spec.” Our salesman profusely apologized after witnessing everything, and after we spoke with management, we were provided with someone new for the next walkthrough. The new gentleman was very knowledgeable and professional. But even he had a hard time when we dealt with the construction supervisor who was unprofessional and unwilling to help. It took another conversation between our realtor and management to get things fixed. And this was all after we were moved over to a different house because of all the issues in the first one. Since then, the warranty people have been great. Whenever we put in a warranty repair request, it is handled quickly and there is always someone who follows up to check the quality and ask if we need anything else. ... More

Poor quality materials and construction

Lennar staff was unprofessional and didn't answer emails or phone calls in a timely manner. My experience with the was horrible!

During our final walkthrough, plastic corrugated pipe placed to drain water runoff for entire block. Was told they were permanently, upon closing pipes removed. 2 days later rain and sod soil washed down 3 yards above. Result 3 catch basins plugged with silt. Undermining foundations. They immediately repaired only the areas where future runnoff would affect the unsold homes. Constant battle
