Lennar Reviews

Good experience. I just wish there was more communication on status of process. Need better quality control of homes. Felt the need to inspect every week to make sure there weren't oversights. Without a third party inspection many issues would have occurred.

Lennar communicated poorly during the building process. Lennar changed the flooring, did not install a window paid for in the contract. Lennar changed the ship lap around the fireplace and installed a cheaper material without informing me of the change.Lennar installed dead sod on the yard and has refused to correct the problem. My entire yard is dead. I have no lawn and Lennar refuses to install what I paid for in my contract. I would never build with Lennar again!

Customer Care follow up is lacking. my refrigerator needed to be replaced due to interior damage causing my produce to freeze repeatedly. I’m going on two months and I have still not received a replacement or any responses from LENNAR. Several other very simple repairs need to be completed (carpet repairs, electrical panel door latch repair, exterior paint touch up, cabinet door paint drips), but other than virtual meetings identifying the issues, no scheduling repairs or follow have been done. Very dissatisfied with Emily’s failure to return calls or follow up accordingly.

Susan gets all the work done for us. She has been Great! Lennar constuction should have had all these issues done before we moved in. Been here 7 weeks and still getting problems resolved.

As a first time homebuyer I was excited for the process and now I’m upset and disappointed with the whole thing and wish I didn’t buy the house now since moving in the home I have had 5 issues, and the biggest problem was a leak leak and garbage disposal leaking watering all under the sink and let not talk about the voucher they provide that you can’t even use,, The dishonesty and the communication here sucks

The home buying process was a nightmare from having a processor who had been only been working for 2 weeks in his position to a lender who had only been working in hers for a month. Closing day I still didn’t know my closing costs, I’ve now been in my home a month. I’ve run into SEVERAL issues from a faulty breaker box, to a improperly installed garage door just to name a few. I’ve put in SEVERAL repair requests and not one of the items have been completed. The communication is horrible, if you need anything repaired be prepared to pay for it out of pocket because you will be completely ignored. I spoke with several neighbors who are all having the same issue with the breaker box and none of ours have been repaired it’s ridiculous! ... More

This was my first home so cannot compare with other builders but it was a decent experience. The consultant I worked with would quickly respond to my questions. I feel they could have made closing more exciting, you do not meet any lennar representative while closing and getting keys.

Very good experience work with Lennar, very efficiency, high standard service.

Production home with little to no attention to detail, By far the worst quality build in my 40 years and 8 new homes. Lennar is more interested in closing new homes than customer satisfaction. Beware of the closing process,

The Lennar home buying experience was very nice and professional.

The was a huge pressing for closing. Townhome was delivered with several issues. Two months after the closing, there are issues open yet. Do not recommend.

The response to fixing things is great. Would be nice to have bushes included in maintenance.

Don't believe what the tell you is "included" in the purchase. Get ALL in wrting down to the screws and nails

Lennar was in a hurry to close the home. Because of this there are many items that didn't get taken care of on the final punch list. i.e. painting, paint on carpet etc.

Pretty good experience overall, a few construction quality issues, that if not pointed out and corrected by buyer could have been a problem post settlement. Response to concerns were handle before settlement and I’m overall very happy with the final product and purchase. Response to post settlement issues has been satisfactory and a good process. Now I just would like to see community improvements continue to be done, (ie grass, trees and overall visual improvements continue to be a priority to make this the community Lennar promised it would be no prior to purchase.

The quality of workmanship is a serious concern. Also the warranty work is not good either. I should have purchased from a better builder.

Overall the experience wasvery professional

Great services, keep up the great work

With this being our second home but our first time building we couldn't have asked for a much smoother process. We were provided updates throughout the entire building process from the ground breaking, framing, tradesmen and finally the finished product. With everything being provided and the floor plans fitting our family needs moving in was a breeze. If you want new at a reasonable price go with Lennar.

Forced to close with no regard for customer satisfaction

We really love the area that we are in. Sure we wish some of items of the community were different. The communication with the sales rep was ok. I never heard from him on the closing day or after. Not even a check in to make sure everything was good. The New Home Orientation seemed to be a pretty decent list before we closed on the house. It has been two and a half months since closing and we are still waiting on some of those items to be fixed.

There is really not much good to say about this experience with this Lennar home. This is my second Lennar new home. I purchased the first in St. Augustine (Winward Ranch, Princeton). It had a few minor issues, but overall was a nice home. This home, first community for Lennar in Ocala FL, is a workmanship nightmare. From the curb appeal (lawns are substandard St. Aug grass full of weeds and different varieties) to the concrete work (just go for a walk in the hood and look, including mine!). The CM assigned to me did nothing (he had a complete list on April 29th, my closing was May 25th) until it was too late then walked off the job the day before my closing with a list as long as your arm to fix. The drywall is horrible with major seams in the ceiling visible (these were pointed out just after I signed contract in April, NOW, they will be disrupting our home with a major repair (once approved). Our windows were scratched to the point of the sliders needing replaced. The tile grout work is substandard as is the trim work and the painting. Overspray of the trim paint on the walls, clearly did not prep the trim prior to painting (gouges, burrs, nail holes etc). Tile in the shower near the valves bulges out 3/8 to 1/2" on an outside corner which is very visible. Garage door seals another miss. Clearly Lennar got the bottom of the barrel on the subs. It does amaze me how the subs seem to control the construction site management. This clearly is not a subdivision that Lennar should be proud of or even attempt to "showcase". ... More

Choosing upgrades with Lennar is a joke. For example floor upgrading means paying extra for having tile for areas where make sense to have tile, but Lennar standard is carpet. The interior designer who works with Lennar in my case have not finished installing my window shutters at the time that I'm writing this review (moved in 3 months ago). The quality of the shutters is low since they usually ordered from Mexico to reduce the cost. They have a contract with a local shutter provider which are not responsive to any emails and phone calls. They already send the installer twice with defective, wrong, or missing shutter panels. I'm still waiting for a missing part to come from Mexico. I was expecting to have them all installed before my moving. Lennar agent said the designer for their own reason doesn't do that. But the designer agent said Lennar doesn't allow us to install the shutters before moving. The first time that I used my bathtub, I got a leak and they had to sent people to fix the leak, drywall, carpet, .... The issue was that the plumber missed fully tighten the bathtub drain. I wish Lennar would have paid more to someone to check the plumber work. In the past 3 months I also experienced other minor electrical and plumbing issues too. ... More

Lennar’s branding and sales (Sarah was great!) and the layout of my Davis home drew me in. Decent incentives before year’s end. I was impressed with the level of communication through the first months of build. Patrick, one of the construction managers, was super helpful. Once the timeline got closer things started a bit more chaotic. A major hail storm didn’t help. The last construction manager was very frustrating to work with - didn’t listen nor communicate well. Chris, head of construction, came thru in the end — listening well. This being my first new build, I was frustrated once getting into the home on the level of quality of certain things. Paint was a thin coat, cabinets were low level with poor finishing to name just a few. Attention to detail is something I had to stay on top of. Finishing touches for an almost $1m home were disappointing, frustrating. I’ve had to stay on top of the warranty process and push for things to be made right and not be afraid to speak up. First world problems, for sure, and it was an eye opening experience. Would I buy from Lennar again? I wouldn’t do a new build non-custom home again from any builder. There were diamonds in the rough tho and there’s a lot to be grateful for at the end of the day! ... More

I financed with Lennar Mortgage, they helped with the best interest rate possible at that time. Home built quality is good. Service requests are attended promptly and timely resolutions are provided.
