Lennar Reviews

Ceiling and wall visible taping many settlement cracks.appliances cheap..oven lower drawer falls out..1 day microwave installed bad had to have company fix. 1st floor so cold.air coming into room from electrical switch and outlets along west wall.envolpe compromise 2nd floor bedroom floor cold over garage also spare room over front door cold. Wam bam get you in construction. Heat comes on every 5 minutes due to first floor so cold along west wall had to purchase humidifier but can't keep up humidity do to furnace keeps running drying out house humidifier good for 2400sq ft.

There were some issues that were found during the final walk through. I agreed to go ahead with the closing under the assumption that they would be fixed in a timely manner. It is now almost two months later and they are still not fixed.

Received an overall beautiful home by Lennar. We were able to see the home as it was being built and check in on it periodically. At one point we noticed a giant in the concrete subfloor behind the fridge and asked our homebuyer concierge Cary Krepelin how this could be fixed. She said she relayed this information to the build team. Unfortunately we were unable to check on the status of this hole until we moved in and the flooring had already been laid on top. The foreman Robert told us this hole was covered with flashing..... which was a complete lie because we removed the flooring and the hole was still there, no one had made any attempts to fix it. I would rather not have been told a straight lie and just been told that the hole didn't need fixing. Cary K was a below average homebuyer concierge. She told us she would be the liaison for anything we needed during the homebuying process. This was just not true. She was hard to get in contact with, never had up to date information and would just talk in circles without addressing any of our legitimate questions. We always had to defer to Bridget (whom we had a great experience with and I highly recommend!) ... More

In the beginning stages of the home buying process I was appointed Sabrina as my home buyer concierge. I was informed I would contact her for any of the home buying process and needs for scheduling and working the process. Working with her was very unprofessional. I called her multiple times for different issues such as scheduling and trying to confirm dates and times for things such as the blue tape walk and closing date. She was unresponsive to multiple phone calls with no intention to call or respond back. She texted me one day after calling her multiple times in the morning and said “one sec I’ll call you back, finishing lunch” and never called back and I had to call her the next day and she answered as if she was confused. I understand people are busy but this type of customer service is unprofessional and make it seem like buying a home isn’t a big deal. This is my second home purchase and honestly I’m kinda glad because this expierence did not feel special. I litterally had to hit up my loan officer Frank for help on things the homebuyer concierge should be doing. I recommend to remind the concierges that these our peoples biggest purchases in there lives and should be taken seriouslyz ... More

Home buying experience was amazing everyone was very helpful. After we bought house and moved in we noticed a lot of issues with things missing and appliances damaged. We would put in work orders and then they would respond with “ contact manufacturer for warranty,” even when it was builders fault for issues. The builders left a lot of things unfinished we had to get them to come back and fix. Phillip the project manager to a different community has been the most helpful. If it wasn’t for him we would not be very happy with our experience with Lennar.

My home still does not have a front door lock. My construction manager told us he ordered the lock a day after we closed on October 21, 2024 and told us he would have it in two weeks. It is now December 12th and the construction manager does not return my calls. He has our garage door opener which he was supposed to use to open the house to install the lock so I will need it back or a replacement. This whole experience is unprofessional!

I will tell you that you are awful with keeping people updated and aware of what is going on. I will say that I had to call 2 to three times to get answers on most of my questions. I think you should have told me more about the running of Lennar and veranda preserves. I am happy with the moved but not thrilled with the organizations. I will say there were 3 people that were wonderful! Benjamin, my closing agent and Denise

The quality of the build is sloppy. Paint just was terrible. So many areas with globs, streaks, wall paint going on trim etc.

The actual purchase experience went smoothly. The workmanship & quality of the house is poor for the price paid. The appliances are very basic. You would expect more for the price paid. The quality of the engineered floors & tiles are awful. The tile work is unprofessional. The grout & caulk work is very messy. The woodwork around the doors and on the window sills were not cut evenly and was rough in many areas. The paint job is also messy with many paint spots that are on the wood floors. The walls have many areas where the paint didn’t cover & bumps on the walls from the paint. It was very disappointing to deal with the many problems that was not expected in a new home. The workers that came to fix some of the problems did not do a professional job. We had a tile replaced in the bathroom & smoothing out some of the grout. There is an area where the new grout is a lot darker than the rest of the grout on the shower floor. We did get quick responses when we reported a problem but the repair people did not do a great job. Some workers didn’t speak English & it was difficult communicating with them. ... More

"We had high expectations for our new home with Lennar Builders, but unfortunately, the final result fell short of the quality we were promised. Despite the considerable investment we made, we are disappointed by the evident quality issues throughout the property, which do not reflect the value we anticipated. It's disheartening to see these issues in what was meant to be our dream home. We hope Lennar prioritizes quality control to ensure future buyers truly receive the quality their investment deserves."

Lennar was on it when they wanted you to purchase the home… then their responsiveness and flexibility decline from there. Out of all the builders we looked into they were the least flexible with allowing anything to happen before closing, which is understandable. they are very strict with allowing anything their rules leading up to closing then almost seem to want to disappear after that. Not everything was fixed at closing, as they continually promised it would be (things that were pointed out at our walk through and inspection a week prior) and it was/has been a struggle to get it all Completed by them since then. They like to take the short cut with some of the construction work (like trying to patch a hole in brand new counter tops rather than replacing, hiding holes in the wall with light fixtures). I personally think they fly through the homes too quickly during the build process and are doing too many at once. We love our home because of the location, the floor plan is perfect for us ans for the personal touches we have added since moving in. There have been a few great people we have worked with from Lennar along the way but overall it’s been more frustrating than I imagined with buying a new home ... More

After your moved in and any issues you have makes it very very difficult to schedule time with contractors

Quality wise, defects everywhere, aesthetics and appliances, very different from the model home that entice you to buy. Customer care responds fast but after that the process of making things done/ fixed takes ages, I believe this is all experienced by most of homebuyers of Lennar sad to say.

Sadly, our issues that were in our walk through were not resolved yet and we have been living in the house for almost 2 months. We put so much money into buying this home it's sad we can't get stuff addressed in a timely manner.

When doing the pre inspection and the final inspection, check everything. After 45 days in this house I am still finding things that I missed on the inspections. We are still scraping paint and adhesive off the floors. Crooked walls, lumps of sheetrock mud in the corners. Beware of emails that show you how to use your irrigation system and you find out that an irrigation system is not included. Ring doorbell not included

Eric and Chad are the rudest construction managers I have ever dealt with. They don’t do their job properly and blame it to others. I have asked them several times to ask the construction folks not to parked in front of my house and block my driveway. They have argued with me and told me that they can’t ask them where to park! I have it on camera that construction guys parked there vehicle right in front of my drive way for over an hour and I have sent them the photos of the vehicles! They didn’t do anything. I am not very pleased with Lennar for having guys like Eric and Chad as construction managers. They are not qualified to be working for Lennar. I want Lennar management to talk to them and ask them for their rude behavior! I would never deal with Lennar anymore and would never recommend any friends or family just because of those 2 rude folks. They have argued with most of the community over small stuff. They needs to be removed from Lennar. They are representing Lennar and Lennar customers are running away from them. ... More

Have several issues with the grass the Lennar Company tells me that I need to call the grass Company but I purchased the house from Lennar not for the grass Company also have other issues that they haven’t help me I think personally they don’t care

I am grateful that everything is clean and brand new, however, the quality and craftsmanship is lacking. The large kitchen sink has the wrong faucet for that sink size, something like rinsing, the sink out is impossible, and it will have to be replaced. The bathroom faucet leaks under the sink when you splash water washing your face. Over 50% of the installed lights do not work properly. It’s so dim, it’s difficult to see for example cooking in the kitchen or putting on make up in your master bathroom. The backyard is not level. There’s so many large hole like ditches, I have rolled my ankle a few times, I was dismissed & told “it will level out” ? Lennar warranty company has been attentive to most of my request, but I’m told some of it is just them cutting corners and using the cheapest products there’s a garage door with no opener, in addition, there is no handle on the outside of the garage door to open it from the outside. These are just a few of the items that I’ve run across, However, I have not had any issues with the heating and air conditioning, hot water, sewer, etc. So that’s a very big positive. The neighborhood is nice and I look forward to having a clubhouse and pool eventually. I’ve not had an inspection by a private company yet so we’ll see what they say about the “bones” of the house. Thank you ... More

Overall the home is good, and the build is good, did not face much issues until now. But I am not happy with the customer care post home closing, even during the construction process there was always communication gap from construction manager side, He never kept us in loop on the progress, did not even notify us before drywall were put. I had to contact him to get pre-drywall inspection scheduled and the drywalls were hastily put in so I couldn't get the inspection done. After closing, there are pre-identified issues with the lawn and shrubs which are not tackled by the construction manager, and only response I ever got from him is "Yeah we'll get it done, you need not worry", and no action on the ground to "actually take care of the issue". Really unhappy with the post home closing customer care. ... More

Appliances are bottom line quality. Too many web sites. Should be one portl with one usr Id and password. Too many regulations. Why do I have to pay an application fee after a project is approved. Not very responsive to some issues. Construction manager and staff make promises and take too long, if at all, to respond.

The overall process was very easy. Everything was pretty much done online at the convenience of own time on my phone such as the closing documents was done on my phone, so that was pretty neat. I would honestly say that these homes are built very cheap. The materials and labor that go into the home can be so much better. It’s like they are instructed to get the cheapest materials possible for everything that goes into your home but charge the homeowner an arm and a leg for the mortgage. Other than that, my Collier home is a pretty decent home for a couple or very small family.

Our overall experience was going smoothly until our closing day. Lennar did not have keys to our own home and wanted us to sign off on the walk thru. It took over 2 hours to get our keys. We were diligent in our walk thru with the Lennar rep prior to closing. Point out defects that need to be fixed. 2 days before closing they still had not completed all of the issues. We hired our own home inspector which I highly recommend. Lennar’s warranty claim process is a joke. We have a one year warranty to report any issues. We filed a claim for the Ring Doorbell. This was a joke. The home warranty rep was of no help. We had to have the electrician come to check the wiring. The wiring was perfect. Then we had to contact Ring. Lennar did not tell us to call their dedicated Ring account. After several hours in the phone with Ring we were shipped a new unit. Ring gave us a free code to redeem installation after the new unit was received. The tech came out and installed the new doorbell and we were finally up and running with our doorbell security cam. This took us over 6 weeks to get resolved with no assistance from Lennar. Our second issue was with the pavers. We did not catch at inspection that about 12 or so are not exactly the same color. I am not sure if the ran out of pavers when installing ours and used some they already had or what. When they are wet you do not notice the mismatch as much. However when dry it is obvious. Filed a warranty claim again. The rep they have for warranty claims is a very. Rude and angry individual. He does not care about your issue. He told us we should have caught this at walk thru and it was not covered under warranty. I r Requested the page number from the warranty that states this. He then started being aggressive to the point we just had to ignore him. It seems from our point of view that the quality control at Lennar is minimal. We understand that been new builds will have flaws. However, when you have a one year home warranty from the builder it should not be a challenge to get it resolved. We do love our home and we have met some wonderful neighbors. Please make sure you check every nook and cranny at your walk hour and hire a third party unbiased home inspector. Our inspector had and 85 page report which included pictures. Be educated and be aware. ... More

We were excited to be in our new house not until we moved in and started seeing a lot of issues. Half of the flooring of the entire house is messed up. A lot of issues from the finishing and the HVAC, mainly the most important things and part of the house. The appliances are all monogram but has issues already. Luckily the customer service people are really nice to accommodate me for all my complaints.And that’s the only consolation we get because Doug from customer service is just exceptional! The house is beautiful really beautiful, we love the floor plan but the quality and how you can feel that it was rush to get done is ridiculous ! The quality of the house is not worth of the price we’re paying for. I wake up everyday and I just feel sad coz this is meant to be our dream home.We never had a problem with Pardee which is our first home for 10 years. Never ever again that we are going to invest another property with Lennar. ... More

Easy to work with most of the time. Quality of home is extremely poor. Contractors need to pay closer attention to detail. Poor workmanship. The “integrity“ of Lennar is poor Would not recommend your company to anyone else

Came to colonial Heritage, probably higher expectations than I should have. Lennar was portrayed during the sales portion as a quality builder unfortunately, those expectations haven’t been met. I would have expected better than below average workmanship, which is unfortunately what we got.
