Lennar Reviews

Seller should provide a paint pallet for touch up Paint for exterior and interior of home. We were given the name of paint for interior and it does not match.

Just make sure you ask a lot of questions, before you buy, Inspect the House really good....before you move in.

I had a good homebuying experience which may have been better if not for the pandemic restrictions. Many of the documents were made available in digital format which made the lending and closing processes easier. "Everything Included" should have been optional since many appliances can be purchased at lower prices. The quality of the materials is good but getting someone to make modifications such as removing carpet were difficult. Overall I am glad I purchased a home from Lennar.

Has a great Construction Manager

The house material was very cheap.

My initial experience was positive. Over time I began to see many issues, there was a lack of communication between Lennar personnel and the home finance company, as well as a lack of communication between lennar employees which caused unnecessary headaches. When we finally did get into the home, the final cleaning hadn't been done, the paint job was amateur: overspray over the side of the house and external paint over sprayed into the home as well. After the sod was put in, the yard was very uneven, there were several voids where no sod was put in and I'm still trying to patch my lawn up, and they only cover 20ft of the backyard which everyone at lennar failed to inform me of and was not in the contract. Some of the positive notes I'd like to mention is that the Lennar maintenance team is very quick to respond to issues inside and outside of the home, the construction manager was helpful in getting us the info necessary to register appliances in the home as well. ...

The builders mortgages Company is very difficult to deal with. I would not recommend using Lennar mortgage company.

There was a lot of issue wrong inside the home that needed to be fixed/repaired. The home seem to have been built rushed and the customer service is very low to resolve concerns brought to attention.

This is my 4th month we found around 29 issues as of now

There was a lot of debris left in all the vents. House was not totally clean upon moving in. Debris behind all appliances.

Great location of home and neighborhood amenities. Sales team were extremely fast in responding. Customer Relations Manager was phenomenal. We felt more like a transaction in the beginning of the building process but thankfully more like a customer as we got closer to finishing the build, thanks to our sales guy and CRM guy. Happy with home. Warranty items have been addressed quickly and pain free. We had some bumps along the way in the building process, mostly delays on things, some cutting corners by trades, messy job sites, little flexibility in changes, etc..so critical for us to be as involved in the process as much as we could. Lennar staff are just stretched so much by workloads. You can tell they want to do a good job but capacity issues are real. Thankful to be moved in and have our dream home. ... More

Sales team was good. Warranty personnel is good. Not overly happy with the craftsmanship with this builder. Not sure if it’s the contractors they use or accept but they fall short in this area. The repair contractors are even worse then the install contractors. Pretty frustrating experience so far in that area.

not many choices on finishes, appliances, just have to take packages that are offered

The process was smooth but there was always something missing in every step. lennar mortgage part was missing communication in all levels. The lender did not have patience and did not answer all our questions in timely manner and finally started to respond after i kept calling and bugging her. . The sales part was good and all but did not provide us with all details of the upgrade options. We wanted the back patio but he did not tell us that was even an option he only mentioned the screened porch. Later after we signed only then when we realized that the patio did not come with our screened porch. Then the HOA part. Weve been calling them to get more info on community restrictions but theyre not responding and on top of that from reading on their page its so sad to hear that were unable to have a vinyl fence. And only a metal fence is allowed. All in all lennar home is a good purchase but definitely many things to fix as far as customer satisfaction and customer service ... More

Once we purchased the Home, you are no longer important. Make sure that the home they way it is supposed to be because once you move in you are on your own. You can complain as much as you want there is no urgency in fixing anything. We moved in to the Home end of June and now it is December the items we complained about prior to the move in have yet to be fixed. Get everything in writing when you purchase the Home since the Sales guy from Lennar promises a lot but delivers very little

Below par build quality, misleading sales team, unresponsive lending group.

There was a large selection of home styles and lot locations. Once you decide the size and design of the house you want be sure to ask on what lot this style of house will be built. You can't pick a lot and say I want my house here. The style of house and what lot it will be on has already been decided in the master plan. Then ask what is the release date for that lot and when will the house be finished. Lennar is very good with their projections of when a home will be ready to move in. You need this information so you can plan the sale of your home and when you can move into the new Lennar house. Their scheduling and move in date was right on the money. ... More

Warranty service is very problematic. Otherwise I am happy with the build.

This house presented a means to an end. We got a very discounted house with poor finishes. Because the price was low, we were able to tear out many low-quality aspects of the house and replace them with higher-grade materials.

You can tell it's a cookie cutter home. Can't beat the value

Love the space that the house provides and location was what we were looking for in a home. Things I would like to suggest: 1. Allow buyer 1 or 2 modification during the building process. example - make patio larger if space is available to build it. 2. Seal the Grout on the tile through the house so homeowners don't have to do it in a new home. Its Takes the homeowner 2-3 days to do it in a house of this size (3082 sq ft) when you would just like to enjoy your new home. Complaint: 1. Multiple flooring issues in home hard wood floor and under carpet areas. Many areas crack and pop as if the house floor is 30 years old. This is something you would not expect in a new home costing over $500,000.00 ... More

Meh, love the inside but have been having issues

Good response to issues. However too many issues. Poor workmanship and materials. Shelves are separating from their supports. Wall materials are so poor they would not support hanging even small objects. Dishwasher controls difficult to use. Master bath tiles separating from the wall. Caulking cracking and separating. Overall very poor and was a poor choice when choosing a builder. Will never make that mistake again.

The overall home itself seems ok. The cabinets and fixtures are ‘builders grade’ but no more. The lots are not level, and many of us have concerns about drainage & standing water. Lennar pitches their ‘everything included’ as a selling point, but that also means very limited flexibility (I.e. upgrading finishes, expanding patio size, under counter lighting).

We closed on the house with drywall not finished—major holes in a closet and bathroom. Also a lot of paint touch ups and blue tape was still on the walls. We had a cracked step and a broken window also. Five months later.... we’re still waiting for most of the jobs to get done. In mid-August a manager came to the property and told us all the jobs would get done one day first week of September. We haven’t heard back from him, but several people have randomly shown up on different days, with little to no communication to arrange. We are so frustrated! Here it is the end of September and I still have tape all over the house. We appreciated the manager coming out.... but there has been no follow up since that day, so it seems like he just came to sweet talk us and get us to fill out the August survey with good reviews. I would buy a Lennar house again, but I will not close until the house is in the condition a brand new house should be in. ... More
