Lennar Reviews

Initial times Lennar Sales person and Lennar Mortgage were very polite and professional. But later both of them were pressurizing to close the Home buying even though many of the activities are pending and some of the closure credit was changed at the last minute.

Lennar has a solid but average process and quality. I have purchased a few homes in the last few years and they don't do anything to set themselves apart and have some questionable procedures that really need to be updated.

We purchased our current home from California. It was a fairly smooth process and going through the financial was great. We had a great sales person. However, the quality of home was not what we expected. I would say for the most part, the tile setters were the worst. I have never seen tile layed so poorly with very uneven lines in the grout.The grout was messed up; different colors everywhere. Kind of embarrassing when I have somebody come to my house. I felt like I was looking at floors that were installed by people that had done it for the first time. Everything was very dirty especially the floor. The windows were very dirty and smudged and the backyard was not cleaned up at all. ... More

I always liked Lennar, but I see now the poor workmanship that we as new owner have to go through because the sub contractor get away with poor work standards. I have to submit warranty work for basic construction work example kitchen cabinets not leveled properly, rain gutters pitch towards the house and not to the down spout, paint on window frames and screens. MY BRAND NEW TUB big chunk missing and scratches because the subcontractors had cement all over the tub during construction with no protection. FYI I can only pray they taped all of the joints especially in the showers corners.. Lennar big message to you time to hold subcontractor responsible for doing poor work, charge them for all of the work and if you want to meet with me (I’m talking to the CEO and big bosses) Please contact me so i can show you what’s happening in the field. BTW my cabinets are schedule to be repaired in late August (I bought the house late February) and my tub repair is scheduled for August 1,2023. We paid plenty for the house, you would think the workmanship would be at a high professional level too. God Bless America! ... More

No quality finished house. Very expensive house for the quality

Buying experience was good but on the building side of it it’s poor

I have very good experience with Jon and my loan officer (Christian) and his team. But on my backyard the drainage (landscape) is really bad. I report for lennar home care last month 03/10/2023 and they told me the builder will fix the landscape. It's over a month now and a lot of water on my backyard. There is rain last Wednesday after 6 days still a lot of water.

Buying a from Lennar was a challenge. This was our first new purchase and my expectations at the beginning were not met. Once we got our new production manager things went smoother. You need to be diligent about checking in and if you not in the area ask for pictures weekly. Overall it wasn’t terrible but I don’t think I would ever buy a newly built home.

Worst Experience with Lennar Mortgage never ever again from start to finish. Terrible experience. These people working for your mortgage company are not trained the right way.

Moving to San Antonio from Chicago and thought this is going to be my forever home but for some reasons it’s taking longer than expected to fix little things in the new built home, trying to have fixed before I move in and still no improvements of the requested repairs (sad face)

Altogether the home is decent, but the workmanship was shoddy in places, with some carelessness, sloppiness, or not paying attention to details. And many issues that needed fixing that we pointed out even before closing still have not been fixed more than a month and a half later. The included appliances, cabinets, and flooring seem to be the cheapest Lennar could find. Some aspects of the design of the home were not thought out well, with shower heads and bathroom cabinets being too high, and the garage too small and driveway too narrow - I can barely fit my car in the garage. What's the point of a garage if you can't put your car into it!? The construction quality seemed poor also, with cracks in the foundation and split/broken 2x4s in the frame. Also options for cabinets and flooring that we saw in the model were no longer available at the time we wanted to buy. They cut back on a lot. ... More

the floors in this home are so hard that have been in excruciating pain since moving in and I consider this house unlivable! if I could trade it in I would it. I cannot recommend anyone buy a home from lennar if this is the type of flooring that will be in your home. the pain I am in out weighs any good. I will say that responsiveness has been quick but no avail. The overall home buying experience besides a few delays was pretty good the salesperson James was very helpful and patient, and I felt Diana who did the walk through was trustworthy, but again, the flooring is so awful I would have to give it a zero on quality of workmanship and materials is substandard and I would see inhumane and criminal. I do not think the value is worth what I paid and after 8 months of looking for a home and moving over 1,000 and all of the obstacles I faced to get here, I am looking to get out in less than one month of moving in ...

Day 2 after move in revealed a major plumbing issue. I give credit to the response time here. It was addressed the next day.. but they had to tear the front porch concrete and brick up to fix the problem. It was repaved and bricked, but a few footprints were left imprinted in it and the new beams that sit on the porch still have the plastic wrap on them. We've contacted the appropriate people to fix these things but it's been 3 weeks and I'm not sure they will.

Cheap homes from appliances to build quality not worth 400k

How many calls you need to make to get a faucet fix in your NEW house? Mr CEO please answer.

House was not clean and details with trim not great. I have a crooked window and walls that are not straight over spray paint on all the floors and windows.

Still waiting for things to be fixed under warranty because Lennar wanted to close and so many issues that needed to be fixed. If things were fixed correctly and in a timely manner, I would have given better marks. My advice for future owners would be to make sure the house is up to your standards. Make sure its clean. Things that need to be fixed, get them fixed before closing because they are slow at responding to your concerns after you close. It wasn’t a terrible experience but once you close, you are an afterthought.

we bought house in nov 21. we moved in and when raning for the first time we had a major leak. there are countless cosmetic issues including the paint surface not even a couple of very narrow trust bars a garage door that is not sealed and rodent precense inside the house. were also promised the inclusion of W/D which never happened.

The idea behind the new Reverie community was well thought out and achieved the goal the design team planned. The build quality is poor as there is not a straight wall in the home. For the dollar to delivered value Lennar was the real winner not the home buyer. Not really sure if it is even possible to purchase less quality materials. An excellent example is the guest bathroom shower stall and tub, a cheap fiberglass job with multiple fractures in the material. If I said you could see daylight from all corners of the front door would you believe me. The real challenge Lennar had with this home build was the quality of its sub contractors. Until Lennar can find and hire true professional teams to build these home they will be plagued by these problems. You will not hear from me again unless the foundation breaks as I have hired a team of contractors to straighten and rebuild this new Lennar home. ... More

The home got delayed about two months from the time they told us it would be ready. We identified a few issues during the final walk through and only one of them was addressed. We kept following up on the rest without success.

The closing experience they have it on point, but responsiveness to issues is a failure. Still waiting on stuff from the exemption list to be fixed. Every time they say they are coming they just waste my time because they don’t show up and the response is just ohh well.

The builders are absolutely horrible when it comes to cleaning the cleaning the areas of the homes they are currently building, they do not block off the areas where sod hasn't been placed so when it rains, we have a continuous mud slide along with settled mud in front of our new home and on our block. It's lazy workmanship not to leave those areas in a position where homeowner have to shovel mud and clean up excessive amounts of trash. This is far beyond a small issue, when my car slides on the mud because it is so thick. It makes it that much worse when we are told they only clean the streets on Wednesdays and Fridays, whoever is overseeing the builders of this area is doing a subpar job or the standards are extremely low ...

We like the layout, room size, fireplace and lighting. We are very disappointed in the windows and sliding door. They leak air badly when wind is over 15 mph. This was particularly bad with the recent winter storm with winds up to 40 mph and blowing snow. We actually had a snowdrift on the inside windowsill at one window. Our furnace ran continuously for 3 days because of the cold air blowing into our house. This is unacceptable. We have Cambria quartz countertops in our our Florida condo and in our previous home. It had a beautiful glossy finish. The countertops in our new home have a dull finish. Also the carpet in our 3 bedrooms is disappointing, not what we expected in a $500K home. ... More

We purchased our first home with Lennar and our sales agent Cathy was awesome! We love our home and the builder's responsiveness has been great. However, the quality of the materials is not the best. The workers mishandled a lot of the materials used and went to extreme lengths to hide the damage, but as I started cleaning, it became visible that these items should have been replaced.

This review is like A Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The sales, purchasing, financing, closing and everything else that dealt this the finance/management/updates was fantastic. Everything to do with the construction, construction management, and resolving issues on site was absolutely horrible. The craftsmanship was horrible. It feels like the home was put together over a weekend. The flooring, cabinetry, dry wall, and painting were all done in such a rush and there are still countless issues that still haven't been resolved. Appliances weren't tested. Common sense did not go into the construction whatsoever. Things were installed in such a backward manner. ... More
