Lennar Reviews

Don't expect to walk into a perfect home. The builders needed to pay closer attention to the details. I've had a lot of issues. Wrong door handles, non working garage lights, leak in the pipe, uninstalled hoses and unleveled doors. It's frustrating to address all of these issues with different departments.

I first became acquainted with Lennar when I moved from the East to west coast and settled in Las Vegas. I like the homes and use of space. I just brought my second Lennar home and I see the same issues. The first one is the entry way into the master bedroom is always smaller than the rest of the other door ways always making it hard to move furniture into the room. There is always a little space then the entry way. Also some of the electrical outlet and switches are always in the wrong spaces. I did have some issues once I moved in but they were fixed as soon as they were pointed out. Some other issues like stripped screws and uneven cabinets are the tradesman but then its the project manager which should be checking those issues but prob does not do so. While your in the process of buying everyone is attentive as soon as you close nobody is interested anymore. ... More

Spec house. Know what you’re buying, lennar is there for money.

Constant staff turnover and poor communications.

Our experience hasn’t been exceptional; however it has been a learning experience.

I wish it was better overall a lot of stress and you guys never fix what we ask y’all to fix

You need to check every area in the house, many items were not completed

Compared to the stories we have heard from people dealing with other builders in town, we don't have much to complain about. However, you can see where they used subpar materials and cut corners to meet deadlines.

Make sure you ask questions.

They use wood frame which is why I gave a low grade on quality of materials. This being florida block homes survive better in extreme weather conditions.

Easy to communicate with the sales

What you see (model home) is not what you get. Have a professional home inspector look into the quality of home before you sign closing docs and get issues resolved.

We felt fortunate to be drawn in the lottery. Many people were not. Build took two. Oaths longer than expected, but with Covid we were not surprised. Disappointed with the quality. On closing day they were still doing last minute items. A lot of items had to be put on a punch list! We were told at our one week prior to close that the house would be pristine. It wasn’t! Paint many spots on floor. Window blinds missing, paint touchups not done. Door trim missing in areas. Grout smears everywhere on bathroom kitchen tiles and bathroom tiles. It took about three months for most issues to be resolved. Again, understanding that most new home builders seem to be going through the same labor and material shortages that Lennar faced. ... More

I asked the Lennar construction manager if Lennar would put in frames/support for ceiling fans for the back deck. The response was " Normally we don't customize homes, but thats not a big deal. We can handle that. Three times during the construction, I reminded him. On the walkthrough I asked about the ceiling fan supports. His response was "Lennar doesn't do that. If he would have been honest. I could have had the supports put in myself while the soffit was still open.

The sales team and home care team have been great. Beautiful home with minor issues after move-in that were taken care of quickly. The Lennar Mortgage is incredibly shady. Worked with the mortgage team for over eight months. Terrible communicators with even worse work ethics. Tried to take our house back at the last minute due to errors on their part that could have been solved but they refused to try to work with us. Forced to threaten legal action before we were heard and given a chance to find a new mortgage company less than 24 hours before we were to sign documents. Stay away from Lennar Mortgage at all costs. ... More

Spent way too much for what I got. House is a mixed bag of nice amenities and cheap junk. It took way too long to finish.

Lennar overall is a good company. The construction manager we had was awesome!

The system to file Repair Request online within one year warranty is convenient and response is kind of quick, but may be the large quantity and pandemic time, the request fixing cases time are waiting too long. As buyer stand point, we want to buy a good quality and ready to live the brand new home without any worry, not by having technicians to the house back and forth. Basically, I love this builder and my house design, but that will be perfect if no rush closing and less request repairs after closed.

Our home is beautiful and I'm grateful to be here. Having said that, there is some inflexibility with the company in general. Despite an 11-month timeframe between contract signing and closing, we weren't allowed to add a bathtub when we asked just a few weeks after signing. We had a leak due to anchors for closet shelves being screwed into the stack (drain line from upstairs) that required floor and sheetrock removal. HVAC wasn't quite right and has required a few visits. Tile is in place, but the grout is weird and nothing is exactly level. I suspect our other issues are common with any large, mass-scale builder...a fix requires one crew for removal, a second crew for a fix, a third crew for replacement, a fourth crew for painting.... I suspect slightly less detail-oriented folks would have fewer complaints, but I'm grateful every month for the 1-year warranty and the ability to submit punchlist items. ... More

Go with a builder who offers options.

There is cheap wood fencing

Read and understand everything line of the contract.Use your attorneys for closing do follow up.

Purchasing my home the Lennar homes was positive especially in dealing with our sales and customer service support teams. My sales representative Susie and my customer care representative Mark are outstanding people to work with!

They used to be very attentive but with the housing boom they have forgotten about their customers and how to treat people.

Some finishes are not excellent but the price paid was even raised during the purchase. The experience as buyer: very poor The house: normal, average The price: very high
