Community is very nice. House should Have lights in all rooms. Installing a fence is a horrible experience; Lennar should have system to get one in a timely, cost effective manner. Sale contracts are error riddled, impossible to understand, and so generic they have 50% not applicable. Have a contract for cash and another for financing.

I would never buy another Lennar home

  • Nageswara J.

  • Lutz, FL

Hi, This is my third lennar home, but my experience of buying of third lennar home was really bad that I would never buy another home from lennar. I had primary home and investment home from lennar prior to this...they were forcing me to close home with open drywalls and lot of work pending. Can you imagine closing home and some attorney coming to your home on Saturday evening 9PM to close home ? They forced me to do this although still pending items. They said If I dont close it today I will lose my 10% security deposit and my interest rate will go up even my rate lock doesn't expire ...

Lennar responded:

Lennar was a good choice for my builder.

Melinda (Lennar consultant) made the selection of model and contract experience very easy. Bobby and Josh (my before and after contacts) were always listening and did what they said they would do. Made it very easy to go thru the building experience. After the purchase, Gonzo installed upgrades for me. very reliable and affordable. Very satisfied with experience and finished product.

Worst Experience Ever!

  • Terri T.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • December 20, 2022
  • Las Vegas, NV

From day one, you're on your own! NHCs are worthless. Male construction manager won't talk to you and ignores emails. Responsiveness is slim to none. Too many mistakes were made, and when you point them out, they get mad and ignore you even more. The only time you hear from Lennar is when they want money. Otherwise, you remain in limbo for the duration of construction. The most unfriendly builder (except for one concierge) in NV, and I've dealt with several over the last 30+ years. If not for the floor plan and location, I would have cancelled my contract and walked away. If you don't care ...

The closing process was very stressful and communication between Lennar and the attorney was disastrous. Old documents were mailed, documents were signed after the fact, and signing day was not pleasant. Please do better, Lennar.

The people at Lennar are very professional and very responsive and provide great customer service. The process Lennar uses could bd better. Too many people are involved and it became confusing as to who I needed to work with for different items (mortgage vs. building questions vs. document collection vs. closing agent). Would be great if the client worked with one person through the entire process. Also, the resubmitting of documents became a little tiresome. The same documents nearly every month is a bit overkill.

A lot of issue and they haven’t got back to me again

  • Zephyrhills, FL

Well, the first week of living in the house, a lot of nails on the rug that my wife got cut on her feet. Another issue is where you put the towels broke off and most of them are loose. I try contact the person in charge of the warranty, but never got back to me. I’m missing a screen on my second floor. They never got back to me again about it there’s a lot of minor issue, but no one has got back to me

Overall we are happy with the whole process of moving. There are some issues with the responsiveness and accountability of the team. We feel like there are too many people involved in the process and no point person to whom to direct complaints. Not very happy with the coordination of the project.

My entire home buying experience with my LennarHome was a wonderful experience! My loan officer Allison was amazing! She explained the process and was always available for my questions and/ or concerns. The quality of the home and price for the options I chose was comparable to other builders in the community. I love my new home within an active adult community and would recommend others. I can’t wait until the entire community is built with the slated amenities to enjoy for years to come.

Poor Customer Experience

Lennar does not communicate with buyer during the construction nor punch list resolution process. The only work punch list items when you escalate to management. Then you get attention for a day and they ignore you the next day. They make up stories as to why things do not work or why they work the way they do. And it is always the other guys fault. No one takes responsibility to correct matters.

Over all a very good experience. You have to understand that they are really throwing these homes up at an incredible pace. Only a few cosmetic issues that were handled after the walk through. Sales office took care of me, showed me three homes in process and doing the paperwork in less than an hour.

Definitely not an Executive Level Home

  • Patti C.

  • Groveland, FL

We purchased an Executive level Lennar home. The Kennedy III model. That being said we expected to close on an absolutely beautiful new home. The workmanship & building supplies in this home are beyond disappointing. The cabinets are a disgrace, huge gaps were left where the floor meets up with the cabinets, the outside of the home is not truly painted, it is more like whitewashed, the built in pest control system was “forgotten”, no hot water to the master tub, crushed cable wires, broken kitchen faucet sloppy molding/wood work, weak A/C unit, etc, etc, etc. We purchased a Lennar home as ...
