Lennar Reviews

For a new home, I found so many mistakes, it’s unbelievable. The washer area was flooded, the wall and floor were soaked and stained. They still haven’t fixed it yet. I am concerned there may be mold in the wall now. The wall is yellow with the water stains. The cabinets have small cracks in all of them. If they don’t fix them, I heard when it gets very hot, they will just open. The dishwasher is roasted in the outside, and a few other mistakes. I am so sorry for that review. I hope they fix those mistakes, so my review will be so much better next time.

My only request during the whole home buying process was for the house to be cleaned prior to closing. During my initial tour of the home there was paint splatters/spills on the floors and in the showers, which I was told would be cleaned up prior to closing. The paint was still there during the new home celebration, and once again, I was told the house would be cleaned prior to closing. Needless to say, none of the paint was cleaned up when I picked up the keys after closing. Disappointed that they didn’t do the only thing I requested. Home buying process was very simple and quick!

The home buying process was easy… I’m a first time HB so, if things were complicated I would have known. I did not have a realtor, after my initial interest, I could not get a realtor. The materials are very cheap and the damage to the material during the build are not replaced or repaired. My new home came with extra tenants (rodents)! I cried for nights because I couldn’t believe I moved into a new home with RATS! I called the rep that said “call if you need anything”! I never heard back from here. I’m thankful to have a home and I ask God to bless our home!

We have been in our home for a little over 30 days and we have had to call warranty on a few things, however the builder is nice and will come fix what needs to be fixed. Its a little disappointing with some of the workmanship as the workers had urinated in the tub while it was being built. We ended up getting that replaced before we closed. This is a starter home for my husband and I and overall it has been an ok process, but some things need improvement with the build process.

Not everything I was told is how it really happened. Everything I was told that would be included with my monthly payment in escrow with separated from the actual payment so all my bills are all over the place and I had to hunt down everything that I’m going to be paying so that I do not forget to pay something only use my house such as insurance taxes HOA fees were all supposed to be included with my monthly mortgage payment. I’m very disappointed and just a month and a half after purchase I get hit with more cost that I was not anticipating they can do better.

While looking for a home we were told the quality of materials and workmanship were both highly rated. We get in and start n noticing the opposite. For example, the hand rails are spray painted but not sanded first or after! The thermostat is one that cannot be figured out how it works! A tech is supposed to stop by to explain it but hasn’t come yet. The yard has not been done right! Sod haphazardly slapped on unprepared ground. We bought a house to enjoy the yard but with my disability I cannot. It’s too uneven and so full of rocks it’s actually too dangerous for me to walk across. Too many trip hazards!! ... More

Our sales person, Dennis, was outstanding resource. He went beyond the expected to help us try to communicate with (horrible) Lennar Mortgage. Quality of the finished product was disappointing. Workmanship and finish is far below what you would expect fo one million dollars.

We love our home and community! The problem we have is that there was an extremely obvious defect in the installation of our Dormer windows and we have been battling for 3 days with Lennar to simply fix it. We have submitted the obvious cracked window trims and being told that is normal. We have inspected every other house in our section and NONE of the other houses have the issue. Very frustrating being blatantly lied to in order to just try and get us to accept crappy workmanship.

Lennar's catchphrase is "EVERYTHING'S INCLUDED!". I'm here to tell you it's not. While the people along the way were magnificent and responsive, I'm just shocked just the blah chrome builder's grade cheap stuff Lennar used. This was a spec house so couldn't choose the quality of finishes I wanted, but shocked that basically no upgraded anything was used here. NOTHING. And if everything's included, why am I spending THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS having a painter and contractor add the basic things you didn't, and should have? Basic things not included? Shocked. I thought my other homebuilder was bad, Lennar took that crown. Again, LOVE LOVE LOVE the people along the way, from the sales office to the final walkthrough, this isn't in any way directed at them. ... More

Styrofoam used on exterior … appliances installed way too tight pulling away at cabinets…

This is the second Lennar home we have bought and the experiences have been very different. The quality of the workmanship on this Wales Ranch home compared to our last one is very disappointing, especially the finishing work. The subs that have come in to fix things have been unreliable, have done either half of a job or a poor job, and it's an ongoing struggle to get things done as they should have been done in the first place. Lennar has also used inferior items in place of higher quality ones this time and yet the price was far higher. They have cut corners, given us lower quality, and it shows. ... More

Who ever the architects were they never owned a home. Appliances are cheap for the price you pay for the home. I have issues with my driveway. It’s a cheap pour. I’ve brought it up I’ve received nothing but crickets.

The finish work was pretty bad. Lots of warranty issues for the yard, the flooring, the bathtub, cabinets, keys to my house, and no internet, just a few. Everyone has been very nice. I know they are very busy, but i don’t think there should be this many issues in a new home. I’ve done my own spackling and touch up paint, and pulled 5 large bags of weeds. My side and back yard look horrible. I have no complaints about any of the people I’ve dealt with. I’m not sure who would be to blame for all of this. I do love my home in spite of All the issues. I’m just very frustrated.

Poor built in quality/material and accessories.. Warranty team- very rude and long wait time to fix

Others not so much.

The walkthrough was so fast that we miss a lot of issues. Once the walkthrough is done , then you are informed that the second walkthrough is only to cover that everything that was identified in the first walkthrough was fixed. Then you are informed that a new issues identified after the first walkthrough is going to delay the closing time. Basically the builder put you against the wall. Then after closing the builder informs you that any new issue goes through the insurance company. Also, there is only one time fix for almost all the issues. Very disappointing

Lennar Loans are horrible. Rates differ from buyer to buyer. The incentives towards closing cost gets adjusted so that they won’t give back any money towards down payments. Unit with higher cost might pay less emi compared to the units with low cost at same interest rates. First time home buyer be careful of these traps. Constructions wise things are good.

From last 2 months we are following with lennar and sunnova on solar activation . No response from both of them . Lennar moved to new vendor for home that are still not sold , they left people who already purchased. This is unfair. If anyone willing to talk on this please contact us.

Lennar really dropped the ball on Phase 2. Quality of everything was lowered yet the price increased. Phase 1 had GE Monogram appliances, open rail staircase, finished garage walls, tile roofs and the same was expected of Phase 2 considering the price increase, yet Lennar closed off the staircase, switched to Frigidaire appliances, and unfinished garage walls and asphalt shingle roof. Higher end finishes were also shown online but none of these were included in the home. Noticed many work that was unfinished after moving in. Good thing we have the warranty for a year, but you would think for the price point that you would get a quality home. ... More

There is no changing anything, very thankful I was able to purchase my own home but hindsight maybe I should of looked around first. Garage door cracked while trying to install a security lock, inside of the drywall facing windows had to be repaired before blinds could be added. was told I would receive 1 tree in the front and two in the back just to find out others were told the same but the two in the back would not happen even with emails and text correspondence. now I'm coming up on week three waiting on the HOA to give the permission. no faucet on the backside of the house of which I forgot to look for and no outlets down one complete side in the garage. The sod that was used is smack full of weeds, the sod I bought outside of what was provided has little to none. ... More

The construction manager for this development either doesn’t know what he’s doing or he doesn’t care!! We have caught him in falsehoods (many). We had are home inspected and the multiple things that were bad were not addressed (yet) and we were told that they were amazingly well had our inspector take a second look and it wasn’t addressed on our home and sadly the construction manager still has a job. I would say it’s a fluke but we purchased a villa in this same neighborhood and same experience with the same construction manager

Let’s see…a 55+ active adult (retirement) community (old people) where the house thermometer is so small you can harder read it. Makes absolutely no sense. A front door that is 8’ tall which means you must purchase a customized screen door to fit. Super large,oversized garbage and recycling cans with no where convenient to store them.

So the walls feel like primer not paint. The kitchen and bathroom drawer slides are not centered.Not the craftsmanship that we expected in a new home. Overall, just a lack of craftsmanship.

I paid a good price for this home but I see many of the materials us3d to construct my home are poor or low quality that will not last more than 4 to 5 years like the exterior siding made out of compressed wood not cement hardy bia4ds. I also see loopholes to avoid some warranty repairs like trees that died 2 weeks after purchase date etc. Overall, good price but I will not buy a lennar home again. Thank you for the survey

The home I got it’s not the same as model house! So many details they are not finished. The builder used the cheap materials. For the 2210sqf I paid 471.۰۰۰in my Neighbourhood paying a lot less!
