Lennar Reviews

Overall, my home-buying experience was smooth and exciting. The process was well organized, and the builder kept me informed throughout each stage. Moving into my new home was a rewarding experience, and I am pleased with the outcome. I am very satisfied with the quality and value of my new home. The craftsmanship, design, and features meet my expectations, and I feel that I received a well-built home at a fair price. The builder’s team was professional, courteous, and responsive. They followed through on their commitments, answered my questions promptly, and worked to address any concerns that arose during the process. I would like potential home buyers to know that this builder values customer satisfaction and delivers a quality home. ... More

It was easy, stress free, and communication was great. And the home is fabulous!

I love the community and all of our new neighbors. Everyone is friendly and outgoing. Many people here share the same interests and there is a great atmosphere. The build quality leaves something to be desired. For every great feature you find, you will find at least 1 drawback or quality control issue. Here are some examples. Lennar uses quartz countertops, but only 2cm thin, therefore the chip and crack easily. The house are all settling and suffering from cracks. There is no power in the floor so today's modern electric reclining sofas have to run extension cords. Insulation is blown through the entire attic, leaving the garage and other areas exposed. Paint is sloppy. The Lennar staff is actually a pleasure to deal with. All of those items mentioned above come down to subcontractor issues and the desire for profit above all else. ... More

Hard to get ahold of anyone. Financing team is very pushy.

We love our new Lennar home and the new community! The only problem we had was on the financial end, the loan officer, and those folks. And in talking to all our new neighbors who were already here when we moved in as well as the neighbors who have moved in after us, we all seem to have the same thing in common….. the lending process was unnecessarily, stressful, and overall not good. So far almost everyone we have spoken to experienced the same thing we did in that it was a lot of “hurry up and wait“ with the worst part being none of us were approved for our loans until a day or two before we were set to move in with the deadline Lennar gave us. This was very stressful in that most of us were also selling the home we were moving from and we didn’t know whether or not we would be approved for the loan in time to meet the deadline that Lennar gave us. We sold our home and moved into our new home in four weeks. Lennar had given us six weeks to do so. So it was very frustrating on the financial side for them to get the loan approved before the due date. Also worth noting, every single one of us have experienced the same thing in regards to the mortgage company. Lennar initially owns the mortgage and then within only a couple weeks of living here the loan is sold off to a different mortgage company. So that was kind of frustrating. In the end, it obviously worked out for all of us, but the loan process could’ve been more expeditious and less hurry up and give me this now and then wait to hear back from me for what felt like a little bit too long. We had a couple minor issues with hardware, etc. which Lennar was very quick in getting someone out to replace so that was great. The Lennar realtor, Jasmine, was fantastic and very helpful as well. Overall, we are in our dream home and so happy to be part of this new community! ... More

I am so happy and very lucky!!!

Horrible experience with salesman, had absolutely no clue about the home specs and prices. Lied and manipulated throughout the deal.

Over all the response to issues need to be improved. Good job on construction over all.

Problems from day 2. Leaky ceiling in the kitchen, floors throughout are weak, problem with heating unit, and cannot use washing machine ( broke for 30 days now).

Love the house and neighborhood

I was selling and buying at the same time. There was no transparency from the Lennar team on issues with appraisal causing delays affecting close on new purchase. This caused for a very stressful close that could have been avoided. Communication was poor!

It looks like this house was built by apprentices, none of the walls are straight and none of the windows are squared, the entire wall shakes when the door closes, the floor planks keep popping out of place and I've been told to use a soft hammer every time it happens, the last tech pour glue in the seems lol, true. The backyard is terrible uneven and worst is pitching towards the house all around. Service request is handled by a computer and after you request you need to do a virtual appointment to confirm if you are telling the truth I guess.

“My overall experience buying a Lennar home in Wind Meadows South has been very positive. The homebuying process was smooth, and the sales team kept us informed throughout each step. We appreciate the modern floor plan, included features, and overall value compared to other builders in the area. The workmanship and materials have been good overall, with only a few minor issues that are common with new construction. Lennar’s team was responsive in addressing punch-list items after move-in, and communication was generally solid. No builder is perfect, but our experience has been a positive one, and we’re happy with our new home and community.” ... More

Make sure you do your own math. Assembly line experience.(You are not my problem mentality after every step). No accountability for keys if you do RON CLOSING.

Lots of issues. Hole in laundry floor that wasn't patched correctly, Had to add basement outlets and lights since you only got 1 outlet and 4 lights. Missed painting over numbers written on wall in bath by cabinet guy. There was mold on joists above foundation under the insulation. Poor trim work. Some light switches weren't even connected. Overall a very minimum quality. Had to have a contractor make all corrections.

I will never buy a brand new home from Lennar again. The whole experience was bad.

Very smooth process! Had no problems at all

They were very much efficient

Good process from purchase to closing. So far response to post purchase issues has been average in my opinion .

Sara in the sales office was very helpful to me. She explained everything about the house I bought The other girls like Josie and the other girl that works with her together were extremely helpful with me too.

Overall experience was a little crazy. Communication was almost not a thing during the process unless I made contact first. Move in date kept getting pushed back further & further. When I finally moved in my home I started to notice small problems like when I take a shower the wall gets a little wet & the paint starts coming off the wall. Even on the ceiling the paint is coming off a little. The spiders are a problem being I am about to have a newborn inside the home. No street lights on my street & many others. My bestfriend was going to move here also but I advised her not too because I’ve been told they would not fix my paint problems even though I’ve only lived here not even 2 months & my home was built in 2025. ...

Be informed and ask lots of questions

The moment we decided to purchase our hone, everything from writing the contract to the day we closed went smoothly. After the purchased a couple of people stopped by to check and make everything was OK. Would work with Lennar again

I have owned a Lennar home previously that I was reasonably happy with that helped influence my decision to buy another Lennar home. Unfortunately, this was perhaps the most unpleasant home buying experience I’ve had (out of more than a dozen homes I’ve bought in my life). Lennar loan process was very poor and communication was spotty. I ended up closing more than a week late on my loan despite having great credit and significant income / assets. This cost me time, money and was a huge inconvenience. The loan processor was knowledgeable and very responsive at times; however, there were other times when he promised updates and then I wouldn’t hear from him for a week at critical junctures just before the closing date. He made false promises that the loan would be closed on time. When I was first approved for the loan, the conditions I was given were general in nature - nothing related to my income. Then several weeks later, I got conflicting messages about conditions regarding my upcoming Social Security income, and it turns out that I should’ve been given those conditions weeks before. More than 3+ weeks were ‘wasted’; time I could’ve used to work with Social Security administration to get Lennar information they wanted. The underwriter and/or loan processor did not use all of my verified income or assets when calculating debt to income ratios and so even when I proposed coming up with a bigger down payment to ensure I closed on time, they said I still didn’t meet their debt to income ratios, which was simply untrue. Even when I clearly pointed this out to the loan processor, it was never corrected. If they hadn’t unilaterally deleted some of my assets on my application that were previously confirmed through their process I would’ve met their debt to income ratios. Additionally, they asked for the same information several times, even after I posted it on their portal. They also insisted on collecting an excessive amount for taxes for the impound accounts, even though it was clearly documented that my particular models taxes would not be that high. Lastly, on every estimate prior to closing, they understated the cost of the monthly HOA and taxes. This was a very stressful time since I did not have living arrangements beyond the time I thought I would be closing yet the sales agent never once checked in on me during this time. Turns out there is significant noise from 6 AM to almost 9 PM every day from a Costco car wash across the street - when I brought up the noise to the sales agent when I first looked at the house (backyard retaining wall is higher than the house so you can’t see across the street) and asked if it was temporary situation with construction (not knowing it was a car wash) the sales agent never disclosed to me that it was an existing car wash; not temporary construction noise. The title company was fine. The house itself seems to be fine for the most part. One concern, however, is during the walk-through I was told HVAC filter needed to be changed. The filters were dirtier than any filters I have ever come across and three new filters is somewhat costly - when someone buys a new home perhaps they should actually have clean air filters when you take possession of the house? Discovered a leak in the front yard irrigation stations that cost me $$ with a big water bill my first month; was told I had to go to the HOA, but luckily the landscaper said they would take care of it. Not sure how Lennar turns over a house to a new homeowner and they don’t know about these leaks, which was not apparent to me for quite some time because they had the sprinklers going off in the middle of the night. What I was told was incorrect - according to the documents it is Lennar‘s responsibility for the first 90 days after closing. The construction person who did my walk-through was friendly and always seemed eager to help yet there were several occasions when he said he would send someone by to take care of something and then they wouldn’t show and I would have to be the one to follow up. But all in all no real complaints in that area. In summary, I like the house and the floor plan but the mistakes and lack of communication during the loan process were inexcusable yet there wasn’t much empathy from Lennar‘s sale or loan staff who didn’t seem to understand the stress of not knowing what was going on or the major inconvenience and costs related to a delayed closing. ...
