Lennar Reviews

While writing contract & Signing it, I clearly mentioned i am buying on my LLC and all parties agreed and signed. Just 5 days before closing, they said, we can not give you on LLC as per Lennar Policy, i need to authorize and title can be on LLC. Since only 5 Days left, i un willingly accepted. But then Just one hour before closing, they said i can't have title on LLC, What ....!!! this is how you guys deal with. Construction Quality: Pros: Good Quality Construction, i appreciate that. Cons: While closing walk through, we did identified minor things, they agreed to fix, but they did not fix. when i asked, since its closed, they had lot of procedure to follow up and the guy who agreed to fix not honoring his words. I wish i could have postponed the closing. ... More

Changes are made to the house without telling the buyer.

I don’t like construction manager updates

I was familiar with lennar homes because family members had purchased homes with lennar. However the buying experience was less than ideal. The selling agent, lennar lenders, title company... none were on one accord. We kept getting conflicting information regarding the closing date, what we needed to close, etc. Once we moved in, we realized that issues that we were told would be fixed before closing had not been addressed. The stove did not work, a piece of the refrigerator was missing that was present during our walk through, the kitchen sink had scratches that were not present during the walk through. The interior paint has splotches and random paint drops on the floor and glue on some of the tiles that we have not been able to clean off the tile, and some cracked tiles. The grout on the floor tiles are different colors, and when it rains the sliding glass door leaks. These are just some of the issues that we have noticed so far. We plan to have a warranty inspection done soon to see what other issues there might be, although I am not holding my breath that the "warranty " will apply to these issues. Also, we were charged for electricity and water bill for the three months prior to closing (refund still pending). Overall, this is not the experience that I was hoping for. The only positive thing is that the neighborhood is gorgeous, well maintained and quiet. Hopefully we will be able to fix the problems with the house without too much of a hit to our budget and eventually make it feel like home. I would recommend checking out the other builders in this community, but would not recommend lennar. ... More

I had a lot of issues with the house they promise everything was going to be fixed by the closing date, then a month after still issues. I understand you built a lot of houses at once but you can’t turn your back to quality and good finishes. This is my second lennar I don’t think I’ll have a third one

building materials aren't very good. Outside looks horrible - land swap

As it was a new house, There is a lot of details they I as a customer did not see on the walk dates, as soon as i wanted to inform about the issues, Lennar team was not helpful to attend or fix these issues, not only myself. some neighbors have had many issues as well, it looks like they wanted to build fast and not taking care of the quality. I'm sorry for myself that I already purchased and not have the chance to buy somewhere else.

We liked the model, the location and the floor plan. Our buying experience was awful.

I went through a realtor which was a BIG mistake. Because of doing this I did not get to pick any countertops ,fixtures and flooring. I also did not find out anything about the neighborhood like are there going to be ant parks for children,dogs and for everyone to sit in and meet other people in the neighborhood. Also I would have found out that gutters are not put on in the back of your townhome and neither is a patio and to put one in can be quite an issue with the association here.

A few staff made the after purchase activities a traumatic and stressful situation. The house is okay but know the model houses are upgraded and made very nicely. Your house will not look the same and the quality of the work does not compare to the one provided to the model houses.

We had issues with 3 appliances, had to reach out multiple times to get anything done. We have not had a mailbox available for over 2 months and still do not.

Well I have good and bad to say. 1. I was told my lot size was much bigger than the reality came to be. When I confronted them about this they just said they made a mistake and did nothing about it, they admitted their mistake. Two people within Lennar has admitted this error. 2. The area between the sidewalk and road has been in standing water since July 8 and it is now Sept. 9th. They finally started looking at the issue but it has not been solved. So guest coming to my home have to walk through standing water. 3. Other than the doorbell and sod around the road and driveway the home seems to been built well. 4. Other small issues has been handled timely. ( except front sod) 5. The people have been friendly. ... More

We paid extra $27000 for the view because we live uphill. Now the house behind us block our view. Very disappointing. If we had known that our view had been block, we would not buy this house.

Lack of Attention To Detail and Cheap Materials

We chose Lennar over other builders in the area for a few reasons. We loved the upgrades and features that came with the home, the larger lot size, and community. Since moving in we have had numerous warranty issues that have had zero follow up on. Our back yard is completely flooded from poor landscaping. All of the sod we paid for is ruined. In addition our houses is the only house without trim painted. We have been told that is “the way we planned it” but the house looks incomplete. We like the location and community but I wish a little more time and attention went into the house. ... More

From the mortgage process all the way to completion...a huge joke. Won't respond to messages. Won't acknowledge things not on original walk through that was a rush job. Made a repair that is now messed up again....

Experience with Lennar a 3 rating and that’s being generous.

Post closing experience is dismal

There were a few things that needed to be addressed after closing that was not taken care of after the final walk through, but it was not completed even after several follow ups. SMH.

Seller doesn’t care about you the second paperwork is signed. Lender is not very clear about the closing process. Triple and quadruple check the loan paperwork because there potentially are many mistakes in it that you will make decisions based upon then they change it and blame you for not noticing. They love to mention the purchase agreement you signed so make sure that is perfect before you sign. Over priced for the quality of the craftsmanship. Sod is put in haphazardly with many gaps. House was not very clean when turned over to me. Warranty is nice but it’s a negotiation when you make a claim. Ultimately the work gets done but there is a definite attempt to avoid it from lennar. ... More

This was my 3rd Lennar home purchased. Sales team was great, had 3 walk thru and still incomplete. (Just did the problems myself). The building team needs improvement. My other 2 Lennar homes where fantastic and was treated very well. I have pics from the 3rd party inspector that will shock you. Thanks for listening.

It was an average experience the whole way through. Throughout the process plan to experience slow response time to questions you may have and since there are several people working with you it will take longer to find the right person to actually the question. Problems due get fixed and questions will get answered it just takes longer than expected. Interior and finishes are fair. You can tell some install and items were rushed and quality is not the best. Overall it is good price for the size of home.

I've had to call a repair person out 3x. Where both toilets were not tightened. The dryer wasn't connected. Still haven't filled in the holes in the cement for the driveway.

Not caring, no following up.

Even though we did a walk through on the home most of the items on the list really didn’t get fixed. I’m pretty sure the paint in the home is only primer. You can not wipe down the walls at all or the “paint” wipes right off. The finish work in the home I would give 5/5. Most of the joints in the finish carpentry do not line up and nails holes are partially filled. Basically if I ever want to be able to wipe my walls clean if they get dirty I’m going to need to pay a painter to actually come in and use a quality paint that is able to be wiped off. Total overall experience unfortunately is 5/10 duec to the poor finish quality of the home. ... More
