Lennar Reviews

Yes, it was a little hectic to begin with but each Lennar representative tried their best to help us get through the buying process. It might be a little overwhelming for one person unless that person is very organized and has some experience with purchasing homes in the past. I would suggest if you have no experience in doing these things yourself that you get help from your own real estate agent or friend or relative you trust. There is ton of paper work that of course is done through the computer system. Some of us like to print out everything but others may simply keep it saved in their computer system. Did everything go smoothly? Such transactions never go through without some questions and problems to correct but the people with Lennar did their best to get us answers and solve any problems. Please do not depend on the many departments at Lennar to keep up with your particular process as you must be responsible for doing your own homework. We are still under some kind of warranty period and we expect to have an issue or two going forward to get solved but so far Lennar has been good about responding to our concerns. If we had to suggest improvements we would say make sure in the beginning that Lennar be careful about making changes to the sales price on any home that may have already been advertised to another person within days of that offer. We were informed that the financing would be transferred and it was even before the first payment. Lennar does not intend to keep the mortgages but their original offer of lower rate does help even if you have to pay a point or more. The home buying experience entails all parts of the process even to the end of the one or two year warranty period I guess. The one thing Lennar has little control over it seems is the quality of the work done by its contractors. Lennar needs a stronger policy and even though hard to find the workers, etc they must consider what kind of quality they get from their contractors. I patched up some cracks myself in the driveway and we will have to live with some of the siding that has gaps in it along the side of the house. There is a noise coming from the attic when the wind blows pretty hard and we are told the roofer will help find the source at some time in the future. The garage door is not of the highest quality for sure and spraying the hinges may help the noise it makes going up and down. Some of the wood doors were pretty rough around the edges and Lennar sanded them and touched the paint up which helps. Another area of concern is the sod contractor or landscape company that leaves a yard in pretty rough shape. We are aware that speed is important when building a new home but quality work should be expected. Lennar people are willing to help out where they can and that makes a great deal of difference. They have always been willing to discuss and help solve any problem we have. Those working for Lennar on the front lines cannot be responsible for the corporate decision making process and we hope corporate will listen to the suggestions from their front line people. One thing I suggest is Lennar promote the company while at the same time show appreciation for the time and effort and problems the construction superintendent solves for them on a daily basis. These construction superintendents and possibly their assistants should have company trucks with the Lennar emblems on them instead of these employees providing their own transportation running around all day every day back and forth between these construction sites. When you have good people you should reward them accordingly. Just my opinion. Thanks for the opportunity to write this. We originally looked at D.R. Horton and Adams Homes in Baldwin County, Alabama but found Lennar made us feel like we could get the best deal with them. ... More

Overall the house is very well built. Do not have many options during the build such as electric range vs gas stove but the appliances and fixtures are very good. Very few issues with the house after completion. Customer support teams are excellent. I would buy Lennar again.

Amenities are very nice but at this price I would have expected ceiling fans and more cabinets for storage.

I would love to give a stellar review and I will say the majority of people I worked with from Lennar were great. From Lennar Mortgage to the walk throughs and everything in between, people were knowledgeable, helpful, and got back to me in a timely manner. Because I believe it’s important to give credit where credit is due, Scott with Lennar Mortgage was truly a pleasure to work with, Beth did my first walk though and was a lovely person, and Dustin did my final walk through and he was awesome! The exception to this was the selling agent on behalf of Lennar. She gave bad information several times throughout the process and made it so much more stressful/frustrating than it needed to be. It was evident she needs more training and coaching to do her job more effectively so future home buyers will have a more enjoyable and positive experience. ... More

Response althrough the processes was great.officials were friendly and always ready to help. Necessary things were done to make a buyer settle with ease. However I nearly missed my home because of strigent requirements by Lennar on loan. Let you loan procedures have human face.

Love our new home thanks for your support my wife and family are very glad to be part of the family.

Our experience was very efficient, mainly because of the integrated Mortgage and Title services that all coordinated together. We’re only a month in, but overall quality and willingness to address issues pre-sale is great.

No issues, except for the Mortgage company, worst I have ever dealt with

Great experience and flexibility till closing. No response after closing and did not return calls multiple times

We were highly impressed with the quality of building materials in our new home and with the beautiful landscape plantings.

happy with new home quality

Make a good inspection when buying

Meets time schedules and professional reply to questions.

Things went smoothly…but too much email contact. Could not determine what might be important and what was additional marketing.

Buying the home was easy and quick. Some issues but they are being taken care of.

everything its ok, excellent team !!!

I really thought the lady who did my overall inspection was awesome and she took care of everything!

Sales team and loan officers are dedicated to assist new buyers in every way they can to make the purchase process the most easy, friendly and hassle free.

My experience has been mixed. I really like my new home and where I live. I opted to use the Lennar mortgage company because of the incentives but the experience was less than satisfactory. The representative was not very responsive and I had to hold them accountable for doing what they promised. Make sure you review your closing documents. There were several items to repair in the house before closing and the level of cleanliness was low. You would think that the builder would want to provide buyers with clean beautiful home. They acted like that wasn't realistic. The quality of the amenities is low. In this market with much higher prices, it may be difficult to get a quality home without overpaying for it. I have a long list of repairs to report to them. The crews that are building the homes have no respect for the neighborhood. They would leave their dirty food containers inside the home for days while building. Now that im in the home, im finding food trash in my backyard from the crews who are working on the other houses. I've even seen trash in the trees. The litter near my home is excessive. On another note, they are responsive, and polite. My neighborhood is great and I like the overall layout of my home. ... More

Overall, I am satisfied with my home purchase. This is greatly due to our salesperson JOSE!!!!! He was AMAZING!! We chose to go with Lennar's Mortgage company due to the incentives being offered. Working with the mortgage company was a TERRIBLE experience from beginning to end!! Without Jose assisting us, we would have stopped the whole purchase process very quickly. But, thanks to Jose, we continued with the purchase and have successfully moved in. The walk-through process is so quick that it's hard to find all the things that needed correcting, but they do have a 1 year warranty which we will definitely be using to get the things that were missed corrected. My initial contact with that department has been positive so far and hopefully that will continue! The construction manager that was present during the walkthrough was kind and helpful. The employee who actually did our walkthrough was also kind and knowledgeable, just moved us through pretty quickly which was a little frustrating, but I understand they have pretty booked schedules. Just wish it weren't so rushed. We like the community so far. I'm glad we are not paying for a neighborhood pool so our HOA fees are not ridiculously high, but we do have nice playground areas for kids and decent walking areas. I like the fact that Lennar homes come standard....the price is the price, no paying thousands of $$ for "options". I just wish the homes came with sprinkler systems for the yards. Like I said, overall, satisfied with the home. ... More

So far I have had no issues.

price of home good Workmanship needs help-someone needs to check up on work qualityThay installed cook top with no outlet to plug into.and more issues

Purchasing the house was straight forward. Fortunately my team is very experienced with financing properties across the US as Lennar’s representative was not. My team made it much easier. That said the follow up gentleman who manages the repairs and questions (et cetera) is PHENOMENAL! I reeealy want to say his name as he needs a promotion.

Overall, the house is very nice! Only gripe is with their in-house lending, took two loan officers to review my loan and their underwriting is very strict, if you have a second home. Other than that, so far so good. Minor warranty issues after closing, but they are handling it, maybe a little slow though.

The process of applying for the Loan is painstaking. Loan officer and underwriting office lack good cooperation. They repeatedly asked the same questions or demanded same documents. I suspect that they misplaced the documents submitted. Their computer storage system is not smart enough. They tried to cover (store) a wide variety of documents with very limited categories (label) they created; therefore, you cannot easily find the documents you submitted. I believe they have the same problem; therefore, the easiest way is to ask customer to resubmit the document.
