Not the greatest experience

  • Kevin Y.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • October 12, 2022
  • Pawleys Island, SC

We were dragged through the mud on getting our site selected, then having to suddenly bid on the lot and then getting lots of conflicting dates for completion (they were still cleaning and laying sod after closing and we were moving in). Two months later our pre-close checklist is not complete and warranty work is not done on days promised with no call or explanation. We love the neighborhood and location, but Lennar is tough to work with. Get ready to fight for your rights.

Quality Does Not Match Models or Promises

  • Kristen H.

  • October 09, 2022
  • Erie, CO

We have had a terrible time with our whole building process. We were lied to from day one about what we could choose, lied to about availability of items, gas lit for every explanation, and the entire construction team has been condescending and belligerent. We have had to go all the way to the VP for every issue in order to actually get it addressed. The quality of workmanship and craftmanship is abhorrent. The amount of items that Lennar tries to pass off as "normal" or "good", that are actually sub par, barely to code, not to code, not straight, and downright poorly fabricated is ...

Terrible experience!!! The Lennar Team had terrible communication. My closing was pushed back several time. On closing day there was still a number of items not completed. From front office, to construction, to warranty. This Lennar Team here is TERRIBLE!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE HOUSE.

Dealing with things

  • Salem, OR

The reasons for low review score is as follows. I had to point out that my shutters were not put on. They tried to tell me that my house didn't come with them on that window. Fence work is not good at all, huge gaps under fence. Had to ask to have a 2x4 removed from roof then they didn't even clean up debris when removed. They tell me they are working on garage issue but nothing is ever done. I had to go to post office to get mail delivery issue fixed myself. I'm finding lumps under carpet where either it's a nail or floor was cleaned properly before installation. I do not see any oversight ...

Lots of technical issues and contractors not available to fix

  • Shahin M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • October 07, 2022
  • Escondido, CA

The purchase process was overall smooth. But there were a lot of issues in the house that had to be resolved. Considering that the last walkthrough was a day before our move-in day, we decided to ignore many marked touch-ups that we had requested and yet were still not fixed. Upon move-in though, we started to face many more bugging issues, such as a randomly opening garage door due to faulty switch circuit, smart frontdoor lock that was failing to pair due to faulty installation, broken patio screen upon installation, broken parts all over the place, pest infections that were in place from ...

Several items were pending by the time I signed, they promised that they will take care of those items pretty quick. Since then I haven't hear from them at all and I have been living here for 2 months now. I guess I will have to submit all those as warranty problems. Very Unhappy.

Our new home certainly wasn’t ready to close on closing the date, but we we’re forced to close anyway to avoid penalties. Most of the issues were looked after eventually, but here we are 5 months later and we’re still missing cabinets. Ever day I shake my head at our situation. This is not the first new home I’ve purchased but it is the first time I’ve had these kind of issues. Buyers be aware

Builder you shouldn’t trust

  • Rajureddy M.

  • Marysville, WA

I am a new home owner in Autumn Vista community. Closed home in July 2022. First construction was delayed by 1 month. Next, home orientation date wasn’t flexible at all. We had to take online orientation where we missed several things to inspect like there was a chip in the flooring, the main door won’t lock without a struggle. Lennar just fixed the flooring and no date on when they will fix the main door. The promised AC unit wasn’t provided still as I write this review. What sucks is that the homes that closed a month later are getting the AC units now. When I call, their response is very ...

Pretty bad financial and title team

  • Jairo M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • October 04, 2022
  • Katy, TX

House quality and workmanship is acceptable for this kind of budget houses, but the financial and title teams sucks. Even though there was plenty of time to get ready for the closing day, as the house was being constructed, they were still asking for info to get the loan just around a week before the closing. Consequently the closing final amount keep changing up to the day of closing creating some unexpected hassles that day. Very disappointing feeling for a well known company as Lennar.

My experience was good, until the lack of construction keys control resulted in a Burglary of my new house. Caution, upon closing ensure your keys are recalibrated to cancel all others. However the overall experience was positive. Good staffing and responsive to assistance in purchasing. Excellent noteworthy support from Natasha, Chris, Yolanda, Miranda, and inclosing MyKayla,

Delays cost me hundreds of thousands $

  • Preston M.

  • October 04, 2022
  • Anaheim, CA

Lennar delayed the building because of the elevator. Well that delay caused a net increase on my Mortgage interest rate of over 2 points. Which is a lot. Lennar didn’t care. Lennar also cost me another $35k by playing games at closing and tried to delay me again and cost me even more.

Beautiful House - Lots of Problems

  • Cindy A.

Purchasing a new home from Lennar was a very easy experience. My new home is beautiful. Once I moved into my new house, I found so many problems. I have had light fixtures falling out on the ceiling, the paint on the doors coming off, a cabinet door falling off, and many other problems. I do have to give Lennar credit for addressing these problems. If you have a problem, you report it to Lennar through a website. It is like filling out a ticket for your problem. You then schedule a virtual visit. Then the problem is addressed. Yes, this is a way to track the problems you have but it ...

Problems Throughout Proces

  • Justin B.

  • October 03, 2022
  • Rockville, MD

Communication from Lennar about my closing date and move-in date was horrible. Statements and representations made by Lennar, as well as information contained in official documents memorializing my home purchase were inconsistent from the eventual closing date provided to me. There was no transparency. I was only given 7 days advanced notice that my closing date had changed. As a result of this last minute change, I had to make additional lodging arrangements for my son and I, in order to account for the additional time we would be without a place to stay/sleep. Improved communication and ...
