Lennar Reviews

The construction manager is just in a rush to get it over than releasing a quality product. I find huge number of issues on daily basis and have to keep raising tickets which is really overhead for me.

I'm mostly disappointed in how some of the homes in the neighborhood are maintained. I was surprised to learn the number of investment properties and rental that are in the subdivision. We have some houses were the grass has not been cut, dogs tied up in the front yards, basketball goals lying down in the front lawn, and couches in the garage where people just hang out with the garage door up. This is definitely not what I was expecting and I don't know what the homeowners association is doing. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

This company is focused on just pushing numbers out the door rather than customer satisfaction. The overall experience has been very disappointing as I'm still waiting for my home to be completed as we approach 2 months after the date of closing. I was offered an incentive to close on the original closing date (didn't really have a choice) and told the house would be ready within 30 days. We are nowhere close to being ready and the unresponsiveness from low level staff that are responsible for just booking walk throughs, to the sales teams, and even high level executives has been telling (I got desperate and attempted to reach out to regional presidents to try and escalate things without any luck). I would 100% never recommend purchasing from this builder and really feel as though I made a mistake myself in doing so. FYI the home I purchases was in Orlando. ... More

Poor quality construction. Cheap material used.

the construction of my home took over 34 months and was plagued with the worst management I have ever seen in a home builder. It has been and still is the worst home buying experience of my life. In the end we never moved into this house because the delay took so long. We have the home listed for sale and again the delay in construction has cost us 100s of 1000s of dollars.

WAY WAY WAY too many emails & surveys

This is the fifth house my wife and I have purchased, third new build. By far, worst quality build. We have been in the home for almost two months and original punch list items still haven’t been corrected. There have been multiple laborers come through to correct the same issues repeatedly. No pride in their work. To date, still not fixed. From start to finish, this has been a horrible experience. I wholeheartedly regret making this purchase. Would not recommend Lennar to friends or family.

Our buying experience was great until it was time to close. Our walkthrough was a waste because we couldn’t actually get in to the house and the punch list was SO long they told us that it just wouldn’t get done. We ultimately were forced to close on our half finished house that is already starting to fall apart one moth into it. So beyond disappointing.

Great buying experience overall. The value was there for the size home we needed. Good communication throughout.

No words to describe how disappointed we are with Lanner. Delays over 90 plus days, no communications at all from any office , sale or builders, if any then was at last minute like day before closing.... like ups your closing just move to the next month ... your mortgage Lennar as well did not have any clue when is closing.... same day they calling congratulating me for next day closing then few min after another call sorry closing is not happening , delay for another reason. Blue tape walks were joke, nothing were fix right or at all, power to building ups I had to personally make calls to power company and speed it up process to power up building. Quality of work , I will love to show you, please be my guest and come over and see your self , look at base boards , dry wall , paint spots all over carpet , door frames , kitchen cabinets crown molding , damages on flooring, crocked walls . corners ...... all those details were pointed and blue taped and almost nothing was done. Out side decorative stone tiles are not installed correctly... its embarrassment of work done. Beside all this details some small some large hopefully will get corrected via warranty but experience and how did everything play from day of signing contract till closing day not sure if anyone can repaired our frustration and disappointment with Lennar and whole process. Communication was the biggest issue, we were in dark most of time , only info I did receive and had is when I had to track down manager at construction site about progress. Very poorly manage by Lennar officials. Half of Mil $ investment required much more costumer service and as well trustworthiness , responsiveness, quality of product and process. Buying property and building home should be fun, excitement, happiest times but Lennar managed to take all that from us. Thank you ... More

Quality of the build is much worse than a few years ago; pressured into closing even when home had many unfinished or damaged parts such as no mirrors/ shelves and broken windows and cabinets. After closing, very hard to get a timely response on warranty request to fix the problems. Would not buy another Lennar home again

It is taking a long time for Lennar to get the issues in our exception list resolved, particularly installing the smart lock.

The value of the home is decent for CA. The walls are super thin. I was told I wouldn't hear neighbors as that was my concern with a condo style home. I hear every sound including garages and the closing of doors. I am happy with my home, but wish I'd known what to be prepared for.

LiZ was good. Timely and professional. Ben was our builder and i had to manage the project at end to get water meter hooked up and finally het is to closing. Delays at end cost us 1.25% higher interest rate which will wind up costing us thousands of dollars. Could give me answers about water hookup delays, so i had to go to water dept and get things moving

Our experience with Lennar is that outside of the construction managers, there is a substantial lack of follow through and integrity.

During the buying process we never received updates from the building manager, although we were promised that we would receive weekly updates. At the initial walk-through, there was a long list of punch items to be done. We were promised they would be done by the closing the following Wednesday, when we arrived at the closing walk-through 90% of items were still incomplete, including zero appliances. We agreed to close with the understanding that all issues would be completed by Friday. 2 months later we still have a long punch list of items that are not complete. We never met the construction manager, even though we asked multiple times to meet with him. I could go on but I have little confidence that this survey will receive any attention. ... More

First and last! I highly DONT recommend Lennar builders. Beautiful home but the process was painful and put us in horrible living situations.

Watch out for the quality of the build. Look at a finished home other than the models.

Terrible customer service! Pressure to close on home when not ready. Told us to move form 4 states away that it was ready to move in. It was still rough, not finished. Had to live in hotel for a couple of weeks after closing. Poor responsiveness from managers. Shabby finish work. I will never buy from Lennar again and will do my very best to warn future customers.

A great team and great communication.

We have been left with numerous issues since the day of closing and it has been a month and a half of poor communication and constant follow up to try to get them resolved. From the poor finish work, incomplete work and lack of cleanup, it is clear that corners were cut to make the closing date set by Lennar. There were a few items that should have prevented it from even passing inspection. Along with finish work problems like paint, we have poorly caulked windows and a roof which had torn and damaged shingles. We had been told that Lennar was one of the best builders around. From our experience, and those of other recent Lennar home buyers we have talked to, that is no longer the case. They seem to be more focused on the number of homes closed on per month than they are on actual quality or customer service. We'd certainly love some screens. We've been told there is an issue with the supplier. Homes around us that are under construction have screens already in place. Just a screen door from Home Depot would be great. Anything to allow us to get some fresh air in the house. The focus seems to be on getting those houses finished for sale rather than looking after those which are already occupied. Overall, I believe that Lennar has changed their focus from a quality product to increased sales. I wish we had the home we were looking forward to owning with the experience we were expecting. ...

Lot of issues: NO Heat Pump until after 2 months of closing. No proper customer support, Negligence in responding to queries. No Extra laminate tiles given Backyard sliding door is broken within a month. Issues with price paid. Bad /un acceptable appraisal report provided for the home. I need to escalate this however the customer reps are very hesitant to do that because of the issue on the builder side.

So much wrong with our new build it is crazy and after speaking with neighbors in the community several others are having similar issues with the quality of work and issues on their homes. Had I known I would have never bought with Lennar and will not buy a home in future from this builder nor recommend them. Our home was also delayed a month on closing and issues we wanted fixed still were not done and more issues were found upon moving in. Towel wall rack fell out of the wall, tile in bathroom needs to be redone in shower, insulation left out of walls upstairs, baseboards and trim cut too short, not caulked properly, closet doors damaged, sliding doors uneven to patio area and rain leaks into the door, stairs had a gap and had to be fixed, window marble was broken off, landscaping dead and uneven in backyard can’t put a fence up until it is made level, tile in dining room uneven and needs to be fixed, kitchen cabinets were diff than what we saw in the riverview area, cabinet handles uneven and doors discolored, the vent was sealed shut to our dryer on outside of home so it was heating up like it was going to catch fire and had to be fixed, doors damaged, driveway area damaged, garage doors has several spacing where u can see light coming through and panels need to be replaced, weather stripping missing completely from one side of garage door, carpets were not clean after workers in home and left paint and druysall in carpet as well as nails and screws, holes in the drywall in the closets, and many more things too many to name. Horrible for a new home build and selling homes at such high prices for cheap workmanship and quality of home. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

I really hate to speak poorly of any company but I do wish that someone has warned me about Lennar. They are a big company building lots of houses and it’s easy to get lost. They have lots of small divisions each of which own an element of your selling/building/closing experience. It was really hard to know who to call for what or how to get updates (we lived out of state). The final walk through and resolution of outstanding issues was terrible! I can’t recommend them in good conscience.

Lennar’s selling process was well organized and pretty painless. Their online portal is great. While our house was delayed by 6 months that’s not entirely their fault. Charging US for 5 days of delay while we completed our home appraisal process after waiting 6 months for Lennar seems a bit unfair, regardless of the clause on the contract. Real disappointment was the quality of workmanship in paint, cabinets…pretty low-end.
