Lennar Reviews

Our last few homes were of much higher quality. From thin paint (areas you can see the drywall), to cheap fixtures and materials to Lennar dropping the home automation (wireless thermostats, ring cameras, etc), backyard paver patios & grills - they were certainly looking to maximize profit and finish out the neighborhood (we were one of the last homes built). Would likely not buy another Lennar home.

The home buying process was fine. We closed and moved in after final repairs were made. Mostly just little thing, dents in drywall, vents not painted etc. I had only had the house for two weeks when I noticed a water leak in the downstairs half bath. Water damage on the drywall and baseboards that was coming from inside the wall. Contacted Lennar and the plumber was out the following Tuesday. From there it has been almost a month of back and forth and my bathroom STILL isnt fixed. My contact with Lennar went radio silent, the scheduled contractors we had never showed up, or showed up on the wrong day. The plumber plumed my stuff backwards and put hot water to the toilet, so my drywall had to be cut back out to fix it. I am truly at my wits end. The house is fine, for the most part. A lot of it is just cut rate carpentry work. No garage door opener for the 3rd bay, no gutters on the house, bad concrete work. BUT you dont know these things until you buy it and live in it. ...

Average new home experience. Upon sale very limited and poor follow-up experience having to chase up, and chase up on outstanding issues and concerns. At times, I felt my concerns were not taken seriously... concerns related to a brand new home experience for very, very poor customer care and follow up experience. Landscaping around the house when I moved in was deplorable and still today 5 weeks later is no better off. The utilities together with Lennar wish not to take ownership of very poor landscaping, that has been heavily torn up. This should be replaced, as I paid for a brand new home with brand new grass / sod and ready state landscaping. I am still dealing with Lennar to address these issues. ... More

Make sure everything is done before to close. Very poor walking through process. Builder pushing you to complete the closing process without finishing the home ready for delivery.

its been 2 months since my closing, i have tried numerous times talking with paul lacy construction manager regarding the paint all over my driveway they haven't replaced them to this day , getting ready to hire my attourney

The salesmen were very helpful and walked us through everything we needed to know. When it came time for the walkthrough there were a few things that were promised to be fixed that never got done before we moved in. We have brought it up through email text and call for the past 2 months and still have had no one come by to fix the simple things they missed.

It would have been nice had someone told us before we bought here that 85% of the development were investors. Would have looked somewhere else for sure.

I have run into couple of issues from closing to emergency issues. My closing date have been changed for about 4 times and i have been stranded with my family. My rental and storage payment that was promised was never paid. Additionally, I called several times to report a leakage faucet and no urgency action/response have been taken on it for over 2 weeks and i have to look for a plumber to fix it at my cost, only to received an email stating my warranty has been voided. As at the time of this text, one of the vent is broken and creating noise, i reported it and for the past one week now, it is yet still fixed. Lennar emergency response is very porous. ... More

GE cooktop is one worst appliance, despite of poor reviews , lennar went ahead and installed it, the knobs are made of plastic and it's hazardous. Paint work is poor, weird sounds from ovens and AC filters(ghost sounds).

The sales guy was not truthful about having the house cleaned and painted before we got there. He told us what we wanted to hear. We had to get the building manager involved. We did not have keys to our new home when we arrived either. It was a bad experience

The communication with client could have been better.

Sales and purchase were easy. Many of the Lennar systems don’t talk to each other so that was somewhat frustrating. After inspection and move in we found quite a few issues. Nothing that I feel confident that the warranty department would take seriously (house not sealed at roof - mice coming in). Been a Lennar home owner before, and Project Management and Quality Control is seriously lacking.

I FEEL THE WORKMENSHIP WAS POOR , APPLIANCES BUILDER MODELS NO WARRANTY , AND THIS SMART HOUSE IS TERRIABLE ,I SERIOUSLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHSED THE HOME IF I HAD NONE IT,

Initial walk through issues were numerous. Sloppy workmanship in many categories. Very poor exterior paint coverage. Some areas do not have paint on the siding. Paint splatter on floor in many areas. Rain gutter by front entrance leaks and lets water run behind stone work. Sloppy install on sprinkler system. Crooked sprinkler heads in several areas. Garage door opener wiring sloppy installation, has broken wire that will no allow door to close. Exit doors to lanai - dead bolts not aligned will not lock. Main sewer line was damaged by workers that were grading the lot prior to sod being placed. This caused a major stoppage that took a lot of work to locate underground damage before a fix could be attempted. I go on for twenty more items but the fact that the slow response to issues important to me makes this Lennar home not what I expected. ... More

Poor response once you have an issue that need to be addressed, good response via teams or zoom to explain the situation but a lot of time to get fixed any situation on the property, maintenance department need to have a value stream mapping process in order to understand the response time/ Leadtime for costumer service.

The home buying process went really fast and I did feel rushed to meet deadlines. Emails that were sent were sent on Friday afternoons mountain time so when it came to questions, I had to wait until Sunday or Monday to hear a response. My walkthrough was fast with the final walkthrough being rushed. All items that needed to be fixed were not done at the final walkthrough leading to a rushed job. When I finally received a key code to get in it was hours after closing. The work that was done was horrific. I'm being told that I have to wait until the 12 months. So I purchased a brand new home/build that has dings, mismatched paint, doors that won't close, lawn that looks horrible. The person I closed with and the person I purchased the home from went MIA. No one has checked in with me after working with me for months prior. The closing was not a celebration. It was disorganized and very long. No celebration at all. No pictures no handshake. I was expecting more and at least the seller to be there. After all this, I shouldn't be told that these are production homes and I didn't purchase a custom home. Production or not, all work should be done with integrity and great workmanship. ... More

As off today I haven’t gotten the respond to a damage tile. The unit was deliver dirty and with issues. Not happy at all horrible company

The craftsmanship is poor it took multiple times to correct issues. So frustrating to say the least. It’s a new home, it shouldn’t be so hard to have a livable home. We’re two months in and have had to have repairs done. Insane really.

This home was not clean, poor painting everywhere especially the area above the baseboard. This means that semi-gloss was painted above the baseboard in some cases at least 5”. This was noted with both walk throughs, but was not corrected. Paint splatters on sliding doors not cleaned off and the tracks for the sliders were not cleaned. We have NEVER moved into a brand new house that was supposedly cleaned but needed through cleaning, by us, before we moved in. If this is what has happened with the other homes, I would suggest getting new contractors. What’s the deal with the cement lip pulling into the garage, that is an accident waiting to happen. WHERE’S THE POOL? We were told that it would be in this summer. When will it be started? ... More

They keep giving us the run around ,we haven’t been able to open our garage since we bought the house. They keep telling us thier working on it it’s been two month.

I had lot of bad experiences with Lennar in the whole process

It has been 45 days since closing and we have a 20 item punch list of construction issues that have not been resolved. For the money paid for the home, I thought I would have received a handle on the dishwasher and trash bins for the trash cabinet in the kitchen. But I guess those items are luxuries.

Where Lennar fails is communication. From the day I put my deposit down till I closed (which was about 10 months) I only heard from Lennar when they needed my money. As far as communication with me during the building process there was none..none at all. If I wanted any information I had to call. As far as after I moved in communication did not improve. I would E-mail for information and not hear anything thing back when I turned annoying I was then informed that yes, I received your E-mail but I'm waiting on information. So, no communication at all.

A mixed review -- I'll break it apart to the home buying experience and the post-move in periods. The home buying experience was relatively easy and Lennar's financial team did a fantastic job helping me as the customer understand what's included, what's not, and facilitating all the paper work. The inspections were all ok, we had a 3rd party home inspector check it out and everything seemed ok, no big hang ups. The post-move in period is a different story. After we moved in, we've had a series of problems that are all a part of the warranty, but it's been non-stop and a real pain to have contractors coming in and out of the house. To provide a few examples, the dishwasher wasn't operating, the furnace and hvac had all sorts of problems that led to water damage in the ceiling and the inconvenience of not having AC during summer heatwaves. I did not expect issues of this severity with purchasing a home that is over a million. ... More
