Lennar Reviews

Jeff and Yumiko were absolutely amazing. Our remote closing was a breeze. Marie lacked communication with us during underwriting and came off as rude in multiple emails with how things were worded. We were excited to take a photo with the congratulations sign on the garage but it was taken down before we got half way done with our final walkthrough. While other houses that sold after ours have had the sign up for multiple days. If we were to buy another home through Lennar we would gladly do so again.

The build experience with Lennar was terrible. I have told my friends to go elsewhere unless this is all they can afford! From the get go, things were chaotic and disorganized and unprofessional. The selling team will tell you one thing and then later say something completely different and act like you’re the one who made it up! Then when we moved on to construction, everything seemed alright until we had issues with the build that our inspector found. There was so much sloppy workmanship. And the construction manager said he made necessary repairs that we were able to check and find out he didn’t actually do! The mortgage team started off alright, which was a huge plus after working with the selling team. However, they ended up also being chaotic and disorganized and unprofessional. The home looks good, and I like my neighbors. The building experience was awful though, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless they’re okay with sticking through a horrible process. I have worked with another builder before who had much better employees. Lennar is unfortunately filled with unprofessional, unkind employees who don’t tell the truth. Be sure to get a pre-drywall inspection and another inspection before closing. I like my house, but it was a rough process getting here. ... More

Pleasant, but nothing great. Sales agents are not well informed. Finishing/workmanship is average or below par.

Brandon Wilson in Sales was great! Made things very easy. Paul and team weee great on streamlining walk thru and required pre-close repairs. Mitch and team are great on post-close warranty issues. Debbie Eichelberger in Title was AMAZING! Overall, great experience.

Not a great experience.. no attention to details.. promise they would fix things when we went to closing on the way back nothing was done.. we owned a west bay home and a GL home and this was the worst ..

Wonderful experience, would do it again!

Lennar offers the best home model with a view towards reasonable pricing and value

I love Lennar homes. They are very neat and clean. The builder did a very good job and he is very friendly. So smart in his job. He really knows what he’s doing. Lennar employees are nice people. I will always recommend Lennar to friends and family

Refused to perform final walk through with realtor. The financial process was unorganized. Switched to different untrained employees who made errors when calculating the amount due at closing. After the purchase, they were also difficult with letting us know how to pay them.

I was very pleased with the journey of buying a new construction home through Lennar . All the staff members were great and helped me navigate through the technical aspects of the home buying process. Since I’m not a tech savvy person I’m sure glad they were patient with me. That was the positive part of the process. Now comes the parts I was not so thrilled about. I thought I would have a say on what items I preferred in a newest bblconstruction home 1- the house came without gutters. It’s an added big expense that I wasn’t counting on 2- Would’ve liked to have gotten a fridge included in the home package 3- Not at all thrilled about the so called “ luxury vinyl flooring” . It’s already lifting up in some areas . Wish I could’ve picked out ceramic flooring 4- Carpeting in the bedrooms. Would’ve liked it if I could’ve done without it. 5- No garage door opener included 6- Wanted the home to have ceiling fans. . Another option I didn’t get. 6- No coat closet 7- No linen closet 8- Garage is extremely hot because it’s not vented for air conditioning/ heating 9- Despise the wooden fencing. There’s no way it’s going to hold up very long. The planks are so thin and untreated! 10- Definitely not pleased at all with the flat paint on all the walls throughout the house. You can’t wipe the walls without the paint coming off and damaging it more. Who puts flat paint on walls in bathrooms?! With water and humidity levels high in a bathroom. I just feel they supplied the home with very low end materials. Just make sure you pay attention to all these things when you purchase your home. ... More

As a real estate investor, I am a 5x Lennar home investor. 4 of them are in FL. This 5th home at Glen Pine is the worst closing experience I have ever had. I will not buy another home from Lennar in FL anymore. The main issues are poor workmanship at and missing house keys. My closing was delayed 4 weeks because of these and other issues. But I will just focus on the 2 mentioned. The major issue I had was the many exterior walls were discolored. Miranda, Lennar customer rep, was at orientation and final appt. She brushed it off as sand, and did not remove it because it was not listed at orientation. I raised a fuss that Lennar should remove the sand. It turned out the sand was not easily to take off with a regular garden hose, but they didn’t want to rent a pressure washer either. 3 days later they got the equipment and was not able to remove the sand. They tried 3x by then the paint was coming off. I had to tell them to repaint the entire bottom 1/3 of the wall, but they only painted where needed. As obviously bad as the sand on the wall was and later the paint peeling from trying to clean it, Lennar should have automatically tried to fix the problem before closing, rather than requiring me to raise a fuss and emailing the VP of Sales to get upper management to know what a crappy team she has working her. Even when after I closed, Lennar gave me keys that don’t work for my house. They said I had to wait 2 weeks for Lennar’s vendor to fix it. I couldn’t wait and had my own lock smith replace it. With all the problems, this meant I could not show my property to renters for 4 weeks. I asked Lennar to compensate me for 2 weeks lost rent because they didn’t give me correct keys for showings, and they said NO. I will never and will actively discourage people from buying from Lennar, especially if it’s in central FL. This purchase experience has been the worst. ... More

This home built quality is 5 out of 10, things left unfinished, they used the cheapest materials, walls get scuffed up and damaged very easily. Outside ground under lawn is very soft, you walk over it and you will sink about 3 4 inches. Walls are not built straight, they just want to make money on you. If you comment about their work because you seen too many unprofessional workmanship on the house, they don’t like the way you talk with them. Any body gets mad for the bad quality of house they get. We paid for it at least they can do is do good quality work, even if they using cheap materials. There are more stuff to say but don’t have time for it. Money don’t come easy for people to buy a house. ... More

Trees were not planted properly and have fallen over three times now. Issue was not fixed they just put them back up and then got knocked over again. No response on the latest attempt to have this fixed.

I wish a copy of HoA had been given prior to purchase. Some of the rules are based on opinion with no defined parameters.

I was looking for a new construction ranch - no stairs. I fell in love with the 1st model i saw at Venue at Smithville Greene (the Saratoga). It has everything I wanted and even more with a very open flow. My son said dad you made a mistake - go next door. Next door was the Merion model. Downstairs was very similar to the Saratoga plus it has "what I would call a visitor apartment" for guests or live-in help. I hate to say it, but my son was right. I am now living in a dream home near my grown kids and love it.

Make sure you do your walk-thru!

I expected the overall buying process to be easier when using all Lennar companies (builder, lender, insurer, etc), but that was not the case. Home build quality is good but not great - needed tradesmen out to the house twice to correct issues within the first month.

Justin is an excellent employee for Lennar. He has the perfect personality for his position and he seems to care about Lennar's Buyers warranty issues as best he can. He has been the highlight of my buying experience. The rest of the buying experience was average from a personality perspective with other team members. I am happy with my house and would refer Lennar over other national builders I have bought from including Meritage and DR Horton

We love the environment and great educational systems. Thanks to the Lennar homebuilder for providing excellent quality and service!

Everyone was professional, easy to work with , issues and concerns were taken care, personally v happy w entire process!

Very professional staff and personable

I experienced multiple issues with the workmanship and quality of my newly built home; there were nails in the carpet, the paint job was poor, the garage door was derailed, the entry door from the garage into the home was dented, my electric front door lock was damaged, and the carpet on parts of my staircase was loose.

Terrible communication and complete disregard to fix issues still pending.

The sales experience was good, but as soon as I tried to reach out for a workmanship issue, there was no one to be found. None of the “emergency” numbers that were listed by the builder were available, except for the Lennar one with a recording to leave a message. The message was never answered and the home consultants I reached out to simply told me they couldn’t help. So much for home warranty and standing behind your products.

What is suppose to be a great home buying experience has definately been extremely horrible, since the beginning from the loan to moving in. Problem after problem with a BRAND NEW home. Only person who has been a pleasure to work with has been Alex. He has been on top of EVERYTHING that has been wrong with my home. Just wow!! I don't know about recommending Lennar!!
