Lennar Reviews

Our move from the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County was somewhat traumatic because we were leaving a home we had lived in since mid 1977, or almost 47 years. Obviously we had accumulated and saved decades of personal belongings. That alone contributed to much of our discomfort. The Lennar team responded to our move experience and tribulations with care and understanding, but sometimes coping with requirements for passwords and access to many security-related document requirements created further complications and frustrations. We are in our mid 80’s and unaccustomed to much of the current security-related requirements that require numerous methods for identification and security. Nonetheless, Lennar leads the pack for using modern updated online documentation, These new methods and their use by the Lennar mortgage and sales teams created much friction. Now all of that is over and in the past so we can now concentrate on adjusting to our great new residence and accomplish a pleasant settlement into our new home residence in Santa Clarita, CA. ...

Was not the best experience with the mortgage, multiple issues and this isn't my first home. It's my 7th. WAY to many people to deal with and communication was a challenge at best. Quality is ok, but the crew that does the finish work not so great. Have found multiple finishes that are mediocre. They seem to be more concerned about getting them to completion rather than Quality.

The Lennar representative lied to us about the amenities being included in the HOA price in SQ. After trying to use the pool, we found out that it was not included and required membership to the country club. This would have been nice to know at the beginning of the home buying process, as the amenities were one reason for buying in the SQ community. Repairs were still being done one hour before closing because they weren't completed when they were supposed to be. The home walkthrough was done one week prior. After closing, we picked up our keys and went to the house. The keys didn't work. They somehow got messed up, and the keys didn't work on the locks on the house. This completely ruined the day. I spent the rest of the day contacting the builder and waiting for the locks smith to come redo the house. The dishwasher was one of the last-minute items that needed to be completed prior to closing. We moved in, used the dishwasher for the first time, and returned to the kitchen covered in water. After researching, I found that the drain plug was still in, and the drain hose was disconnected. It should be the responsibility of the homebuyer to take out the drain plug if the builder is installing the dishwasher. There were multiple other issues that needed service requests within the first week of moving in, including emergency plumbing because dirt got into the sewer drain and caused the toilet and sinks to be backed up in the house. This after four days of moving in. ... More

Jeff our contact e-mailed us that the door company says they can fix with glue and spackle. The crack is getting larger by the day This door is defective. We want a new door for the new house we bought

I first started this journey about two years ago with a sales agent Consultant Diana she was real nice at first, but after I didn’t get, I didn’t receive my earnest money back until I got in contact with a sales consultant named Stephanie it took nine months before I finally got my money back thanks to Stephanie’s efforts. Later, I decided again to purchase a home from Lennar sales consultant by the name of Ray he went above and beyond answered all my questions even gave me information that I didn’t even ask for I’m a real estate agent and I felt most comfortable with him. we finally this year closed and I’m happy to be in my new home. I love it here . Although this was a very long journey and process, I’m pleased with the end result. ... More

it is just another builder who doesn't care about customer, you ask for something after giving them money and they make you slave. They don't have any good communication process or steps, there is a big time disconnect between sales, construction manager, underwriter, loan officers, they don't talk to each other at all, so frustrating process.

Company reps had no concern about customers, only keeping on schedule and selling a house. Build quality was not very good. Final cleaning was non existent. Company did not respond to issues we brought up on our final walkthru, only their own. Would never recommend them to anyone else

Their selling price is very competitive. Construction and warranty managers are responsible and willing to help resolving issues. Their communities usually provide a lot of amenities.

In general, the house is well-constructed. Ant issues initially, but I believe I've taken care of the problem. The house has no gutters - so that's an add-on charge and ditto for a yard fence. There was a construction issue where someone cut through the condenser line in the outside wall. Created mold and am waiting for a repair. Have a nice little extra light from the outside, however. Warranty guy was quick to show up to review, slow to fix and going on a couple weeks now.

Overall, we had a good experience with our purchase. The warranty group has been responsive and professional. Our sales agent, Matt, was excellent.

Not professional , not informed correctly , bad communication . I’ve dealt with builders in the past and did not experience what I have experienced with Lennar . Their finance team is no good

All ok. The Frig makes a lot of noise .

Project manager - Lorenzo was very professional and helpful during the walk through as well as afterwards to help review and address any concerns.

Ryan was kind and responsive. We had one minor hiccup where I felt like my closing was unnecessarily pushed but I don’t totally blame him. Mischle in finance was extremely rude and unprofessional. She was very short with me and not helpful whatsoever. We’ve also had a few not great experiences with the warranty department. Some items that were promised were then not followed through with the warranty department. They seem quick to shut down all issues brought to their attention. kept all email records and can provide upon request. On a positive note, Sydney I absolutely loved. She was the sweetest, most friendly and helpful. I also had the best experience with our project manager Luke and walk through rep. They made the experience completely worth it. ... More

Our customer service relationship manager has been outstanding. Everyone is responsive to our needs. As soon as we report an issue, they rectify it immediately. This is our second Lennar Home and would do it again. We love our home and the community.

Lovely home, great location. The only suggestion would be to have the home completely finished before closing

The team made the entire process easy and our townhouse is beautiful. We are very happy with our purchase

I liked dealing with Lennar

Received several update videos along the way. Responses were timely to my questions. House completed by date we were told. Good experience

When we talked to the new home consultant, it was great. He was very straight forward and answered all our questions. During the first walk through, there were no power so we couldn't test the electricity. The oven was not working; the main bath vent/fan was not working. They were reported and during the second walk through, the oven still was not working; the fan worked but it was out of commission within two days after we moved in. Issues came up rapidly. Light switches not working, oven was still not working, fan/vent was not working. After I reported them, they really took their time to response. I still have outstanding issues that haven't been resolved. When the electrician came by to fix the light switches, even he said the connection were terribly done. Don't get me wrong, the house looks nice, but I am afraid to touch anything in there in fear that one more thing would fair to operate! ... More

The overall experience was good. However, the grass that is HOA controled is 6” long and needs to be mowed.

Getting things taken care of after close has been a nightmare. The internet is constantly going out for 24+ hours at a time.

The closing experience was the worst. Lennar Mtg had my initial information 5 weeks ahead of closing - they asked for multiple docs sometimes twice, they failed to forget we had an out of state signing and it took several calls and support from others outside of Lennar to get the closing completed. Lennar knew we had closed and had movers coming to deliver and they acted like it was no big deal until there was pressure and then the closing day was a mess- didn't receive my front door code until 5pm and then it didn't work. And we didn't even have a garage door key pads or a packet at the house as promised. Beware- make sure you have written approval to close 1 week prior. Now after closing - the follow up on warranty issues has been great so far. ... More

Over all my experience was very smooth, I put in with Lennar for pre-approval for a loan on Sunday on Monday i found the home i wanted to look at and on Tuesday i put my offer in. The Pre approval for a loan made it very easy every one involved were very nice and answered all question quickly.

I was rushed during the entire process and given false promises. I was lied about being able to back out of the deal if I didn’t feel comfortable, Lennar representatives threatened me with legal action and withholding my deposit if I backed out of a home that was of terrible quality and the worst workmanship I’ve ever seen in a new build. The communication was good only until they got me to sign the contract, which the representative forced me to sign without reading. He skipped over significant details when he “went over it” with me, especially the part where I could not back out of the home without severe penalties or move my own closing date to a date of my preference due to job and family complications. Worst and most unprofessional company I’ve ever dealt with. ... More
