Lennar Reviews

The overall experience was terrible I had to wait 19 months since I started my first payment and when we closed there was lost of items incomplete, not a good way to do business, we work hard to earn our dollars and we were treated poorly, craftsmanship bad, not a quality control system, lots of imperfections across the all house.

Customer service was great ,the main building manager has lots of knowledge.

Good experience with Lennar and all involved.

Lennar is a shady company that builds cheap houses and doesn't stand behind it's work. I have had so many issues with this home. Which have still not all been addressed. Lennar Lending is a joke and almost caused me to be homeless after they were going against Home Lending laws. Horrible experience. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

Had issues with the building team and the loan team that made the home buying process a living hell. There was not one sole person of contact on the building team that was responsible for communicating with me and getting issues pointed out at walkthroughs resolved. No one wants to do their job, no one is on quality control for the subcontractors, it’s been an absolute headache that has sucked all the joy out of being an owner of a brand new Lennar home, and I am moved in and still dealing with issues and can’t get an answer back on things. Several Lennar employees have told me “that’s not my job” when asked normal and reasonable things of them, and that sums it up perfectly. ... More

Long story short, 47 days after closing on my property I am not able to move-in due to several deficiencies that violate building codes, industry standards, manufacturer’s requirements, and/or required building performance standards as identified by a structural engineer. A week ago, the county issued a correction order. Lennar Homes knew of several deficient areas prior to settlement and still forced me to close or lose my deposit and closing costs ($80K). Given the situation, I had no choice but to purchase the property. I am now working with the Customer Care Department to make all corrections. I am not pleased and this process has been a total and complete nightmare. All of this could have been avoided if the property was built correctly. ... More

Overall i am happy about everything

For the amount of money we spent on this new build, we are unsatisfied with the quality of work and very little attention to detail that we have found, and continue to find. The walls are extremely thin... we can hear everything inside and out.. and the home doesn't seem to be well insulated (drastic temp difference from room-to-room). Some of our windows were not level and the spackle within the window sills is terrible (uneven, not sanded well). The quality of the paint used in the home is like chalk. Even the lightest brush up against a wall and you've got a mark or scuff that can't be washed away without taking the paint off the wall. Two of our shower inserts were not installed properly and there are gabs and unevenness between the panels. One is so bad that there is already a severe crack in the wall after only one month. We have several spots under the carpet where we walk and there was clearly debris of some sort left on the subfloor before carpet was installed. The overall cleanliness of the home when we moved in was little to be desired. It's like they came in with a dirty cloth and just wiped the surfaces. There was still dust everywhere, especially along ALL the floorboards. On a positive note, Troy did keep us well informed on the progress of our house and was easy to get in contact with when needed. Brennan was a pleasure to work with and we understand that his time was spread thin so he couldn't always be on our site watching the work that was being done. We just wish the quality and attention to details from those doing the work would have been done with a bit more thought and care. I will also say that Melissa, with Lennar Mortgage was a pleasure to work with. Overall, the people we worked with during the process were kind and easy to work with. However, Lennar as a company comes across as they want their money and then their off to the next. ... More

It was a very smooth and pleasant experience. Everyone involved from Builder to Lennar Mortgage and title was awesome and made this whole process effortless.

Very organized process at first, but only to assure Lennar's rights and exemption of liabilities and obligations. My honest feeling is that the purchaser means absolutely nothing for them in any sense. Whenever things go wrong in the process (and they often do), all the burden is automatically imposed to customer. Lennar is extremely inflexible. They request escrow deposits with many days in advance, but cancel closing dates unilaterally with no (or very short) notice. If you have any problem (with loan bank, appraiser or insurance company – and I had them all), problem is all yours… No help, assistance or flexibility on Lennar side. All commitments assumed by buyer are demanded rigorously. All obligations assumed by Lennar are loose, fluid and subject to unilateral change by them. Terrible and very stressful experience. ...

Of the three new home builds we have purchased in our lifetime this one has by far been the most troublesome. Starting with the walk through there were dozens of issues that basically looked like no one had done any quality control (Multiple paint colors, large unpainted patches, lose fixtures, broken fiber port to name a few) Over the past 2 months we have had dozens of contractor visits to fix things and as of writing still have around half a dozen outstanding issues. The management is nice but the contractors they hire do poor work and need to come back multiple times, I am mentally exhausted keeping track of all the "to do" issues. The house also has some pretty annoying design issues like the entrance to the living room is 33 inches which becomes a problem when you want a normal sized couch (around 36 inches) and can't fit it in the opening or the fact that the landing before the upstairs is about 2 inches to small (with rails removed) to accommodate a queen box spring. Having to put up with a broken Ethernet port in the office (unless you want to have your whole kitchen ceiling torn apart) is a big annoyance but them just using poor quality wood on entrance stairs and good quality on base/top floor (and refusing to fix it) is infuriating. Overall I feel like the house was a good value but way to much work required compared to other new home builders I have worked with, its been like a second full time job. ... More

Overall it was a pretty smooth transaction from the builders end of it. The floor plan is real nice, a lot of the finishes are nice and the upgraded plank flooring is beautiful. Biggest complaint is the walls/paint/sheetrock, some of the walls are NOT straight, bows in them from the get go, many neighbors have seen the same thing in their homes walls. Paint is builder quality cheap- so count on painting walls yourself because any time you touch them it leaves a mark and you cannot clean them like you good a good quality paint. overall, walls aside- I am real happy with the house and the Lennar sales team and online team was top notch. ...

While the house was completed, due to the rush the house has so many issues. The lack of response from Lennar is insane. I have people showing up with no prior warning, its been over a month and problems just keep arising. We pointed out things during final inspection in Dec that still are not repaired. My cabinets need repair and they want to come in 6 months to repair them? My breakers were tripping, down the towel holder falling and need to be repaired twice. The paint job looks like my teenager did it. The list just keeps going.

After the change of construction management the communication improved greatly. The new Don is very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Love my new home! I have no regrets!

No help to resolve warranty issues. Contractors making appointments and not showing up to appointments. Unprofessional and inexperienced contractors showing up to make repairs. Will never recommend Lennar to anyone.

I think the upper management gets it, but I don't think the trades are being overseen for the quality of their work enough.

The builder included the appliances and it is a smart home!

Lennar has done a great job building our new home. The quality of craftsmanship and the affordable price was a huge plus for our family. From start to finish the process was smooth and the communication from the new home consultant to the construction manager to the loan processor to the closing coordinating team was excellent! We were keep in the loop with updates every week. We love Lennar and we highly recommend them as a builder for your new home!

The sales guy I dealt with was not 100% honest about things that would be included in the home. We noticed a lot of things that needed to be done during the walk through that was done afterwards. There was a lot more things that were not done or were not done the way they were supposed to be done, because the construction manager was not available during the completion of my home and because this is my first home I wasn’t aware of everything I needed to be looking for. Their responsiveness to fix everything in a timely manner I was grateful for.

The floor plans are amazing. The space inside the home is incredible. I love it.

Some condition issues with trying to close before the end of the year.

Real good response times.

Me and my wife were very excited to buy this house until the day of closing, there were a lot of issues that weren’t done and they are taking a long time to resolve issues. I have been in this house for a month and a half and still having things that need to be corrected.

Lennar offers many advantages over some other builders. We loved not having to be nickel and dimed for every little thing. Great features in the kitchen, spacious family room and nice sized bedrooms. The builder is responsive and clearly works hard to provide their buyers with the best home buying experience.
