Lennar Reviews

From feces left on door handles due to materials left in pipes flooding my new home, to urine stained “brand new” toilets, and even sour urine smelling “brand new” AC, my first 90 days was far from a great experience. Customer service did what they could, yet I was lied to by the construction staff and ALL these issues should have never existed. I highly doubt Lennar will use this survey review or even reach out to me.

Very average home buying experience.

Overall, we’re very happy with our home and the neighborhood that was created by Lennar. We are especially happy with the layout & design and the comfort of our home. However, some of the features describe to us during the purchasing process turned out not to be true, i.e., light fixtures and smart home support. The biggest disappointment is the landscape drainage and the grading of our lot which Lennar refuses to correct potentially leaving us with problems in the future.

The process of building was great (not my first new home build) and we were kept informed. There are opportunities with disconnects between marketing material images and actual plans and since the customer only can take away the marketing material those need to match with the plans. Post closing on the home the responsiveness is severely lacking. We have several small issues that are construction defects that we raised both at closing and the 60 day mark and aside from an email with a case number there has been no communication in a month.

In our experience, you have to be diligent about following up on any service requests because they’ll easily be forgotten by the Lennar representatives. It’s best to maintain all records in the form of pictures, emails, and text.

Layout and design is great however very disappointed in the sloppiness with workmanship and craftsmanship.

Home builder companies have many obstacles that can delay the progress for the required regulations of homes. Builders may take shortcuts in order to meet contract deadlines. Quick homes are built but not completely polished. Homebuyers are dissatisfied that they have to repair or fix items like appliances doors tiles...Builders should thorough check for workable appliances doors leaks cracks prior buyers ownership. Homebuyers stress the importance for interior design being functional and presentable.

Homes are satisfactory. Resolution of punch list takes entirely too long.

there big amazing homes ,but it seems like they rush threw them.

Sales experience was great along with the walk through prior to closing. The frustrating part came when trying to get everything fixed. The quality control is not good so multiple things had to be corrected multiple times to include major corrections like to the flooring and the siding. My requests also went unanswered. Took over a month to transfer water into our name because the correct amount of trees weren’t installed to begin with. Of course I had already had the irrigation system put in when they had to throw a random tree in an odd spot just to pass the inspection. Overall happy but certainly far from a great home buying experience. ... More

The Operations team constructing the house were more helpful than the Real estate transaction team. It should be the other way around.

Trades need to do better a better job, too many things done poorly. Issues with windows, siding, stove, dishwasher, shower head, deck, painting, flooring, gutters, concrete, masonry, landscaping, sod placement, grading of soil, etc. etc. Sad most things should have been caught and fixed well before we closed. Many things I will end up doing/fixing myself.

PROCESS WAS GOOD OTHER THAN WORKING WITH LENNAR MORTGAGE. ``

The nail pops, tape and spackling job leave much to be desired. Of course, the builder only wants to make these repairs once in the whole house after a year has transpired. The job is very unsightly! Otherwise, we are happy with our house and community.

The process moved very quickly. Overall I am happy I built with Lennar. I am still waiting on items from my walk through to be completed (5 months) and other work items I submitted over a month ago. I am having many issues with the contractors driving onto my property and creating huge holes. I have tried to reach out to Lennar and I still don’t have a reply. Overall, the value is great and once they start building it is very quick and they do stay on schedule.

The home is a great value, with so much included. It's beautiful. But there are too many stupid construction errors — the wrong smartbox, not enough outlets in the smartbox (Cox TV and WAP are STILL a problem), wrong thermostats and plugs for the washer, promised USB ports not installed, no info on HOA procedures and more. It gets fixed (mostly) but owners waste hours dealing with what was supposed to be a turnkey experience. My third new construction and by far the most problematic.

While the home is decent, it's important to remember you're not buying a custom home. You can ask for things, but the answer will always be no. The welcome meeting on purchase day was a horrible experience. We walked in on a red carpet, but it was just for show; it certainly wasn't followed through in words or actions. The beginning of the welcome meeting was the reps bombarding us with a list of don't do this and don't do that. There was no celebration or positive experience. The date of our closing was changed multiple times and wasn't always communicated to us, and the sales guy made promises that he had no authority to make. ... More

My house was built pushed back because they buried leftover construction material in the front yard and my driveway in the back is half the length as everyone else. We have no choice but to park our cars at the guest parking and the home owner association sent us letters that we can't park there. Our driveway + garage can't fit all our cars.

Our sales contact, Kaleigh was great!! Jim, our lead contractor was very responsive too.

Lennar is not good at communicating. There was no contact that wasn’t initiated by me, even when there are problems with the build or closing. And even when I did hear from them, they frequently didn’t provide all the information needed/required. I am happy with the house but feel like many of my grey hairs can be tied directly to trying to get Lennar to tell me what was going on with the house.

total lack of communication between departments and companies

The quality of materials is compromised. Water heater consumes more energy. Electrician said to me, he wonders why they used this water heater.

The buying process itself went very smooth with Lennar. They kept us update to date on what to expect any were on target with time lines. However, the quality of the home is just not there. We noticed issues during the building process and even brought up a few and they weren't ever really addressed. We have uneven spots in the floor upstairs. Walls where you can bowing in the dry wall. They did a horrible job on most of the caulking around our sinks and toilets. The carpet was laid where there are pieces that meet in some odd areas. The tile in our upstairs bathroom looks like the put in no spacing and just slapped pieces in place. They use flat paint which is horrible for any room and we have already had to repaint after just 5 months because you cannot even wipe off the smallest smudge. Overall I would never buy a Lennar home again or recommend it to anyone I know. ... More

Working with the customer service rep to fix certain things in the house was a difficult process. Communication was lacking, follow through was poor, and there was no one else to call at corporate to get help; were were stuck. Lennar builds a nice product, but our customer service experience at the end was not that great.

Builder charge you more than others for the same kind of house in the neighborhood. Amenities like gym, swimming pool etc are missing. You have to tak permission even to plant trees/flowers. Water sprinkler missing. Blinds missing. Kitchen drawer bar missing. Patio mosquito net missing. Washer and dryer missing.
