Lennar Reviews

Danny was great!! He always returned my calls and listened well to my concerns. He was very helpful in connecting me to the mortgage process. My main concern with my Lennar experience was the delay of my closing. I did not have any items to correct after my orientation. Construction would not move the closing up and said they needed more time !!!!! My daughter came half way around the world to help me move. I believed the letters that Lennar sent saying that Lennar never misses a closing. Nothing made sense other than no one wanted in construction wanted to bend.

Actually pretty horrible experience. Timeliness was horrible. Updates were never given. Loan officer and associates would never answer the phone. Blue tape walk through issues weren’t fully addressed. Overall build and quality of the home is terrible. The flaws are starting to show. Major corners were cut and the integrity was compromised. Grass install was terrible and even after watering multiple times a day, it still died. Fencing was constructed terribly. No straight lines or even sections. It’s already falling apart. Ceiling insulation wasn’t complete. This list can go on about how terrible the construction and integrity of the house is. Also alcohol was found during the construction of the home so that goes to show the quality of the home. ... More

Love my new home. Thanks Lennar

As this was my first home I had many questions and concerns. All my questions and concerns were handled in a prompt and concerned way.

The prebuilt town homes have very cheap appliances. I had to replace all of the appliances. The town homes also do not come with can lights throughout, so expensive to add on a town home with upstairs. It is a dark place later when the sun goes down. I had a lot of issues since I moved in which is not normal, as I have purchased 3 new homes in the past from different builders without any issues.

I don’t like construction manager updates

Really a 2.5-2.75 star rating for me. I want to start by saying I really love the community and my home. I have found some of the materials and initial painting to only be so-so. There was some patch work done in our master bathroom that wasn't painted over just before we moved in. Not a huge deal, but as a brand new build you expect perfection and don't expect small projects with your home right out of the gate. I have also noticed the paint on the walls is very easy to scuff and when cleaning seems to strip away very easily. Almost as if their wasn't good priming done first. Same with the baseboards. That brings me to my second point.The fact that the garage door opener was not included, neither was the attic space ladder/closure in the garage. It wasn't disclosed to us before purchasing the home, so be aware you'll have to put in some additional money for that when purchasing one of these new build homes. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying. The biggest thing that rubbed me the wrong way was how pressured I felt to opt for Lennar financing. I found and went through my own mortgage broker, but looked into the Lennar financing just to see my options. When I decided to stay with my broker I got calls and texts flirting on the line of threats and harassment that my loan might not go through but that their team could secure it. That doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. As I said nothing was straight out threatened but heavily implied. Definitely walking a gray line of my legal rights of freedom to choose financing. Luckily, I moved forward with my broker and had no issues- just as my broker reassured me there wouldn't be. Beware of these tactics as well! Again, I do love the house overall and my community. Just wish a few things had gone a little differently. It will make me cautious on who I purchase from in the future.... ... More

Here’s a more concise version of your review: “My experience with Lennar was mostly positive, from start to finish. The team, especially my loan officer and home concierge, was responsive and helpful, ensuring we closed on time and addressing any questions—even after moving in. However, there were a few minor concerns that impacted my experience. During the initial walkthrough, I was told my home would have tile flooring, but it was completed with laminate instead, which was a disappointment as I had been looking forward to tile. Additionally, there were minor chips on the cabinets that required touchups and the dishwasher installation was not perfect, though functional. Lastly, I felt the faucets could be better matched to the quality of the countertops and sinks. While I’m confident Lennar would have addressed these issues, I didn’t have the bandwidth to request changes after moving in. Overall, I’m grateful for a smooth homebuying experience that exceeded my expectations, despite a few hiccups. ... More

Our salesperson didn’t know what was going on, i had a different person for every step which was annoying, I want one person to deal with through out the process! Terrible company and miss managed badly. Thank goodness i had my own realtor to help deal with all the different people at Lennar. I’ll never buy another Lennar home. Oh nothing is square in the house, I’m having other work done and there having to make adjustments to install things because nothing is square. Cheap track built home

The construction manager was amazing and the home inspector was extremely thorough. The closing process was quick and Lennar has responded quickly to any concerns we’ve had.

I am a first time home buyer. The Lennar team was great in answering my queries and helping me with all the queries with mortgage or closing

My experience with most of their employees was 5 stars. Helpful and attentive with a "call, if you have any questions."

Make sure you do a good home inspection prior to final.

The walls are buildt with only insulated card board and hardi plank.

Workmanship on the home is marginal. I keep saying "is it cost/time effective to do it correct the first time?" that to keep coming back to repair the issue. Also, we've had experiences with warranty matters when we've been told the trade is scheduled to come out, they don't show or communicate.

Some things is better left unsaid. I moved in the home and I'm over it!!!!

Our experience in buying in Summerside was fantastic! This was a very good value for the price!

We had a great experience overall with Lennar at their Candleberry Place development. A lot of the finishes are good quality, with just a few things that were “cheap”. Master shower enclosure is flimsy, the fireplace could have been upgraded beyond builder grade, paint was Sherwin Williams, but flat - should have used eggshell or satin finish for the ability to clean. Love the appliances, counter tops, tub and shower tile, flooring, the garage is a nice size for two cars with room to walk around. The delayed opening of the pool has been disappointing. We are waiting to see if they honor the “walking trail” around the pond that is listed in their brochure. We’ve heard mixed stories as to whether it is going to be completed or not. The home buying experience was great though, so we are happy overall. ... More

Everything was good except my bathroom somebody used it and didn't even bothered cleaning it up, place was very dusty, no shower rod in master bathroom but guest bathroom has one, and some scratch marks on the wall. I guess all in all everything is good.

From sales to move in, everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. There are two areas of improvement. One is the electronic documents. Many get posted with titles that don't fully make sense to the buyer. Please use plan language rather than acronyms or other wording that a buyer would not understand. Our biggest issue was with the outsourced underwriter. Although Lennar Mortgage was excellent, the underwriting company made the mortgage process painful. For buyers with excellent credit, they went overboard. For example, asking for the source of a $50 deposit and wanting to see a $155 Macy's bill that was paid on time. Every time we supplied all the documents on their list, they came back and asked for more. In all our years of applying for mortgages and refinancing, we never experienced anything this stressful and time consuming. Lennar needs to outsource the underwriting to another company. ... More

I was familiar with lennar homes because family members had purchased homes with lennar. However the buying experience was less than ideal. The selling agent, lennar lenders, title company... none were on one accord. We kept getting conflicting information regarding the closing date, what we needed to close, etc. Once we moved in, we realized that issues that we were told would be fixed before closing had not been addressed. The stove did not work, a piece of the refrigerator was missing that was present during our walk through, the kitchen sink had scratches that were not present during the walk through. The interior paint has splotches and random paint drops on the floor and glue on some of the tiles that we have not been able to clean off the tile, and some cracked tiles. The grout on the floor tiles are different colors, and when it rains the sliding glass door leaks. These are just some of the issues that we have noticed so far. We plan to have a warranty inspection done soon to see what other issues there might be, although I am not holding my breath that the "warranty " will apply to these issues. Also, we were charged for electricity and water bill for the three months prior to closing (refund still pending). Overall, this is not the experience that I was hoping for. The only positive thing is that the neighborhood is gorgeous, well maintained and quiet. Hopefully we will be able to fix the problems with the house without too much of a hit to our budget and eventually make it feel like home. I would recommend checking out the other builders in this community, but would not recommend lennar. ... More

very pleasant home buying experience... all questions answered... minor issues all rapidly responded to and fixed... no major issues

I absolutely love the Aberdeen Community in Foley, AL. By the time this community is finished, I honestly believe my investment will increase with the value of the homes going up in the next 2 years.

I just moved into my new home about 3 weeks ago. I love the neighborhood, and the location is sweet with a view of a city park and ranch land behind me. Jim

I have been in this building for a month and we have an electrical issues with the breaker since the beginning of the closing. They have already changed the breakers 2 times and it has not solved the issue there is still a problem. It hasn't been a month, we have a leak in the sprinkle system which caused us to have a large amount in the water bill. We also just had a problem in the floor lamination. This really frustrates me to the point where I have to fill up a different warranty claim for a different problem every single week.
