Lennar Reviews

Very poor quality finishes and material (cheap)Very basic hardware. Not paid attention to details from technicians who worked on the installations.tile is very poor quality installation.not level .house lake of many small things that is very great in the buyer eyes .we finding things not done right every day .

Was told the garage was ready to paint. Not true. Dry wall has to be repaired first.

Let me start by saying, the home isnt all bad.. But after building two times before with different builders, I can tell the quality of lennar and the products they use are definitely not quality. The paint is flat and already flaking off after living in my home for 2 months. The baseboards are so small, they're almost non exsistent.

It was not one banner up, nothing. After seeing the next 3 houses decorated with the same welcome celebration, I asked Noah what happen ? Why I did not get that? It was purely laughed off :(

If I could go back in time and make this decision, I would not have bought this house. The materials and build quality are not great. The rushed job to get the home done and up for sale is clear. Id recommend staying away. The only good part of the experience has been the people, for the most part. Lennar doesnt have a great 24 hour emergency service. My wife and I had to go a night without heat a few weeks after closing because Lennar didnt have a plumber that could fix a part that broke. Other than that the personnel here are nice people, who seem to care for the most part. We hear our neighbors going up the stairs, we hear their music playing and dogs barking. Tells me the walls aren’t as well insulated as they could be. So buyer beware. ... More

Overall it wasn’t a great experience. I was not made aware of my lot boundaries even after closing, slates were not installed. Lot of my land is wasted because that I can’t even use and there are bushes and it’s not leveled. There is a slant on my backyard where Walter stagnates but every time I ask builder, he just come up with some reasoning. Bad design : hvac outer unit makes a lot of noise. And master bed room is right above it. You can’t even sleep it’s that much of noise. Same noise is there in the living room. That unit shouldn’t have been placed outside of living room.

Our sales experience started great. Grace and Steve were very attentive. After that first day, it was like everyone except Steve and Priscilla forgot who we were. We had to beg for updates, and when we didn't get them, demand updates by putting everyone on emails, calling repeatedly, etc. We repeatedly asked for information on our close and were ignored. We repeatedly asked for the name of the closing coordinator and were ignored. We repeatedly asked for the name of our builder and were ignored. We were told at the last moments that our close had moved from September to October. Because we both work in this industry, we knew the close would not happen in October, and called it out; instead, we were assured it would happen. Unsurprisingly, the close was moved to November, and we were given less than two weeks notice - STILL not from the closing coordinator, and NEVER did we receive an email confirmation for the close from Lennar, only from title and Lennar Mortgage. We wanted an independent inspection, and, again, had to do our own repeated follow up with Lennar to make sure this happened. Over a month into our move, we still do not have mailbox keys, and THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT has to go to the post office to pick up our mail. That's unacceptable, and happens only because Lennar didn't submit the request for the work in a proper time. Mailboxes are almost always installed when the first homes are started in the neighborhood. WE'RE THE LAST SECTION OF HOMES BEING BUILT. That's completely unacceptable, but no one at Lennar can be bothered to care. Ryan and Taylor were very personable and responsive to our requests for repair in the NHO, but the quality of the build was far below what we expected in certain areas. The tile throughout was poorly set, but in the master bathroom it was AWFUL. Voids in the grout, crooked tiles, horribly cut thresholds - TERRIBLE. There were a total of FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS OF GROUT USED IN THE MASTER BATHROOM - White, Light Gray, Frost, and Dark Gray. I could go on and on about how bad our experience was, but I know it likely will be a waste of my time, and result in no corrective action taken by Lennar. We understand Lennar is an entry level, builder-grade home, and that these homes are built "within tolerances", however, at this moment we would be hard pressed to buy another Lennar home, and would struggle further to recommend anyone else to. We would LOVE for Lennar to do the right thing and fix the items that are not right. Prove me wrong and contact me to find out what all needs to be done. ... More

As title what I mentioned

The buying part was relatively easy. Although, I was never sure of who to talk to. From the mortgage agent, realtor, home buying agent, new purchase coordinator, to the walkthrough agent. The paint is pretty low quality, so if you have kids you’ll be either doing touch ups all the time or repainting with a paint that will last if washed. For the price of the house I was shocked it didn’t come with soft close cabinets and drawers. Landscape is done cheaply. The company would rather throw mulch down instead of sod or rock. My yard has drainage issues that makes it impossible to walk on the grass during any sort of rain and the company does not seem to care about the issue after investing. The warranty agent will tell you one thing and then walk it back after the work has been completed and not up to what they said they were going to do. ... More

Since the close only one Lennar employee (Fidel) seems to genuinely care about the customer experience. I’ve had direct experience with 4 Lennar employees. As a former business executive of multi-national companies in the service delivery and customer experience business, and judging from a customer experience perspective, I would promote 1 of the 4 (Fidel), fire 1 of the 4, and put the other 2 on performance improvement plans. Which, by the way, Lennar needs as I believe the issue is systemic within the culture of Lennar. This is the 9th home I’ve purchased and the 6th new home, I would rate my overall experience with Lennar as mediocre. Not the worst, but very far from the best. If you ask me whether I’d buy another home from Lennar, my answer would be ‘no.’ ... More

Overall we struggled to know who to contact for various steps. We received way too many emails which overlapped and caused confusion. One department didn’t seem to know what the other was doing one point of contact for the entire process would make life much easier for the customer

Hire an independent inspector prior to closing to avoid the long delays on items discovered after closing. Note that you sign away some warranty coverage required by state to you disadvantage and to Lennar's advantage.

I’ve been very underwhelmed with the entire process. I’ve been in my house for almost two months and still have outstanding issues that were identified at closing (some were noted at the required walk through seven days prior to closing). The people have been nice but your entire process needs to be re-engineered. You also need to understand how your process impacts your customer as there is a huge disconnect with your current process. If Lennar cares, then someone will connect me so I can share all the details….there are so many.

Month and half still haven’t received mail keys. Overall workmanship medium at best!!! No attention to detail!!!

Low quality material and handwork

The location is great. Our home is sub par in quality for a high price. If you’re looking for a home with absolutely no input or change options, this is your builder. The floors on the main level vibrate when you walk on them. The wall studs are 24” or more off center. The electrical work was poorly done. The covered ceiling fan outlets were placed in a horrible position. The fan in the great room was only 8” away from the TV and a foot off Center when installed. We had to have a new outlet placed 2ft back and a ft to the left. The fan outlet in owners bedroom same problem (2ft off center) There’s no quality control. How hard would it be to center the fans in the room. We had a home inspection done prior to closing, this identified a roofing issue that allowed water in the ceiling of the Owners bedroom. We asked for 2 months to get a copy of the wiring plan. Received it 2 weeks before closing. Too late to make sure things were done right. Make sure you take the time to ensure that things are placed correctly during the build process. The quick build process does not equal common sense quality. The kitchen cabinets are very basic with limited drawers. The bathroom cabinets are huge base cabinets with 4 doors. (No separation) There are only 3 drawers for dual sinks. No drawers in the desk. Least expensive layout possible The heat pump system seems to be too small for the house. It’s always running trying to get the temp up to 72 degrees. We haven’t experienced summer cooling yet. This is the 6th home build we’ve done. Very disappointed in the things we’ve had to fix at our expense,that should have been done right in he first place ... More

Houses are relatively inexpensive but with that comes shoddy workmanship. Quality control needs to be better

The home was mostly finished by the time I had found it and submitted the application for it. Communication was an issue, making sure corrections were done correctly..were an issue. The whole home was basically covered in blue tape. Walls had super thin coat of paint, could see under it. The caulking was so bad, and even when they came to fix it, I had to correct the painter/caulker (same guy) on how to make it look neat and correct it while he was there. He also got paint on the carpet. While I was doing the 1st walk through, he came in and started paitning everything and removing the blue tape that was there. I've also had issues with the electric in the home as well. I had a breaker that kept popping for my fridge, only to find out that they didn't wire it correctly. Now I am having another breaker pop because of the wiring. There is still glue marks all throughout the house that I am trying to get fixed. The gas line was not turned on, after asking multiple times before I signed the paperwork if it was turned on or not. The cabinets when they were installed originally, had a massive gap and was not set correctly. The interior aspect of the home was rough, along with the exterior. There were so many things that needed to get fixed. Communication with the lady coordinating everything, was rough. She was kind of rude, didn't really listen to my concerns fully. The PM and Warranty guy, were communicative and helped me the most out of everyone. I would highly recommend getting better workers that are more OCD about getting the house perfect for new homes. OH! and also. LOL uhhh. Yall need to check on this issue. - The landscape.. I came home while they were putting the sod down, and they had placed the tree right next to the transformer in the front yard. With the oak tree, the roots expand SO MUCH and that would have created a MASSIVE issue. I had them move the tree to the back yard. But on the other side of my house, they planted the tree right next to the water and gas meter lines as well, which will eventually have issues. I'm not sure why they would put tree's that close to permanent fixtures like that.. but it is incredibly dangerous and will cause issues in the future. Do better. ... More

The sales team at my subdivision was wonderful. However, the building process and the quality of my home is not worth the price point. I had to spend more money to correct cracked floors, a broken truss and framing that included “organic growth” that the builder said wasn’t mold. I have barely been in my home 60days and it’s clear that there was no attention given to detail. The ceilings are already separating from crown molding, walls separating from baseboards, issues pointed out at the final walk-through have reappeared.and window sills separating. In my mind, some of that is to be expected within six months to a year, but less than three months? For the price point, the craftsmanship is disappointing to say the least. ... More

Opinion solicited by Lennar and in no way intended to libel or defame anyone. Initially our sales representative Michael verbally floated us pricing that garnered our interest. Somehow they seemed to vanish. I eventually negotiated a price that at least was close to the prices I had heard in the beginning. Then I was informed that he had no authority to sales purchase pricing and would submit my offer but thought it would not be acceptable. He later told me that Lennar wasn’t going to agree to my offer but he thought up a solution that Lennar agreed to accept. His solution was that my purchase price would be acceptable if we’re willing to agree to pay an additional full interest point above my exceptional credit rating I qualified for. Salesman with no authority working on behalf of my best interests was suddenly permitted to think up a way to help me out? Michael orchestrated a deal that would financially benefit Lennar with more of my money. Unfortunately for Lennar I paid off my mortgage prior to the first mortgage payment due date. I purchased my home for a price I was satisfied with and the excessive additional interest point didn’t cost me a penny. Trust solely in yourselves. Its your money. ... More

Sales team was great. Communication of construction updates was great. House product upon completion...horrible. Cheap products used for a higher-end home and bad final product with LOTS to be worked on. Customer service followup, also bad. Like the house but disappointed on the workmanship.

Our experience purchasing a new home had its ups and downs. While the overall process was okay, there were significant frustrations, particularly with communication during the financing stage. The loan officer's communication was extremely slow, and getting clear answers about pricing and current incentives was challenging. My questions were frequently passed around between the sales agent, the loan officer, and other employees, which created delays. Unfortunately, these delays resulted in me locking in a higher interest rate than I could have if responses had been more timely and transparent. On a more positive note, the post-move-in support from Lennar has been excellent. They’ve been punctual and attentive when it comes to addressing any issues or repairs in the home, which has been a relief. While I appreciate the quality of the home and the after-move-in service, the inefficiencies and lack of clear communication during the buying process left me feeling frustrated. I hope Lennar works to improve their communication systems for future buyers. ... More

Overall happy with my home. The purchasing process was painful. The person from the model visit let me down multiple times. She was non responsive, and made a significant mistake. I used Lennar Mortgage and he was quite disappointing.

Buying a home can be very overwhelming and Lennar did well at streamlining the process. I just felt very misled after I signed the commitment letter and made my down payment. Things I were told were included were in fact not included. Things I was told would be addressed prior to inspections were not and were just brushed off as “easy fixes”. I had to send documents back several times for incorrect numbers. My sales agent went MIA after he got the commitment letter from me. I couldn’t access my mail for a week and a half because there was finger pointing on who had my key. Ultimately we are happy in our home now but I would recommend a new buyer not let them rush you through and fully READ everything yourself down to the smallest details. ... More

There are a lot of negatives that I could highlight about my home buying experience with Lennar but instead I will just say make sure you have a Good realtor, hire your own inspector and Fact Check everything.
