Lennar Reviews

Unfortunately many things in this home feel slapped together. The decisions made on things like where to put the pocket lights and where to position the AC unit show just how much the building team is thoughtless in their approach, which makes the home feel ... clunky. The materials used are the cheapest possible. From decking material that my child regularly gets splinters on to paint that literally rubs off when you get the wall wet, I would not say the quality of materials stands up to the price tag.

Very disappointed with solar. 3 months after moving in and solar not activated. Lennar tells me that I need to call Sunova and XCEL. None of my neighbors who moved in at the same time had to call anybody and their solar was activated months ago.

Frist time buyer experience was extremely stressful. I felt like I was being bullied for using my own Lender which I had stressed using from the beginning. Hone feels like it was just thrown together. I've already had to tighten up cabinets, toilet paper rack fell off, had to purchase extra power for garage, no gutters included so rain just runs o to porch, super small garage.

We were excited to move into our new Lennar home, but quickly ran into problems that were not uncovered during the pre-close inspection. Roofers did not cap one of the dyer vents which left a 4" opening right into the home resulting in water damage that Lennar did fix. Sheetrockers completely covered an AC vent into the den. Had to bring the AC subcontractor back to get in the attic, find it, and cut the sheetrock and install the vent register. Entry doors didn't seal (outside light shining through). Had to bring them back to install inserts to correct. The finish painting (doors, baseboards, trim) was a problem. In some parts of the home they used different shades that didn't match on the same wall. Fortunately, our original customer service rep was very helpful in getting these issues addressed, but now we worry about what other unseen problems does this house have that we don't even know about. Lennar mortgage was wonderful to work with, but sorry, but we can't recommend Lennar as a homebuilder. If you do decide to go with Lennar I highly recommend that you hire a really good inspector to go through the home before you close. ... More

Depending on your sales associate and building manager be prepared to go through a hassle of a process

The house itself is great but the buying experience was difficult. There was a 1 month delay in closing and when I requested to change lenders (more than 1 month before the new close date) I was denied and told I would lose the house if I changed lenders. This made the process more difficult because Lennar Mortgage was the absolute worst part of my buying experience.

Very bad experience with our sales rep. No understanding of customer service. Luckily there is good customer support and great contract manager site.

Be cautious when purchasing in a booming market. Houses are being built fast. In turn quality of workmanship diminishes. Ask about material being used. For example tile, carpet, cabinetry. Be aware. Solar isn't listed in the purchase price and is a add on. You can either purchase or lease. I would recommend purchasing to receive the tax break.

Was very disappointed in my newly constructed duplex. I have had my previous homes built and never had any of the issues I had with this purchase.The positive aspect is that customer service has been very responsive in resolving the issues

Overall mediocre experience in the home buying and owning process

The folks that are actually running the job sites do the most to correct the issues as they come up and from my experience with Lennar they will come up.

The sales reps do a great job. However, when we chose to do everything in house, we expected a well oiled machine. Lennar Mortgage & Lennar Title are anything but well piled. Their lack of communication with me and with each other were absolutely awful. I did way more work than any customer should ever hope to do. So much so that my Lennar Mortgage rep told me that we probably would not have closed on time had I not made everything happen. The quality of the house is good except in the bathrooms. The day we moved in the toilet paper roll holders fell off. I feel like they really skimped when it came to installation. We love our house…just not sure we would ever want to go through the constant hassle of dealing with a company with employees who constantly drop the ball ... More

You will be forced into using their lender. Inspect the home as often as you can during construction.

Zero transparency during the build. Build was months behind. Closing was a disaster. Quality was very poor for the price Only saving grace for Lennar has been the warranty process, to which they have been very responsive.

It’s a new never lived in home

Response to warranty issues has been very good. However, the month leading up to our closing was absolutely brutal. We had to pressure Lennar to move the closing date back three times. The different divisions (construction, mortgage, title, sales, etc.) did not communicate with the other. The local construction people had no idea of our original closing date and weren't even close to having the house ready. On closing day the title company (Lennar Title) did not have the closing documents from the lender (Lennar) and we never had a final walk-thru or orientation prior to closing.

The initial purchase process was a nightmare. Steer clear of Michael. That being said, quality seems decent. There have been minor quality issues.

Make sure you ask what color your house is going to be. Didn't know I needed to ask what the color of my house was going to be painted, my bad for assuming they painted houses in neutral colors, which are more versatile. I wasn't shown what the color scheme was going to be so you don't really have any options to choose, it seemed it was either you buy it or someone else will. The construction manager is very responsive and hardworking, kudos to him

The quality of the kitchen cabinets were not the best considering what we paid for the house

I just want people to make sure they do the inspection correctly and not to sign until everything is fix. Especially the floor.

Workmanship of the home could have been much better not so impress on how it was put together. Found to many defects backyard could have been leveled much better etc. Eagle Mortage office set me up for failure, informing and was written on my contract that HOA was paid monthly then I get a bill from spectrum stating I had a balance and a late payment fee added to my bill of $40. Spectrum has informed me HOA is paid annually. This could have been avoided if I was given proper instructions. Eaglemortage should be liable for the late fee, since I was not at fault. Communication with the buyer needs to be more clear and written as well from Eaglemortage. ... More

Many times they seem to take advantage of the situation and it seemed they were doing their best to make me lose my money. I had a bad time in those moments.

So the buying process was pretty smooth. My sales rep was Matt. Very helpful answered whatever questions I had. Only issue was I was sold a house that was supposed to have a pretty big backyard but when it was said and done the driveway was really long and the backyard was tiny. By then it was too late to wait for anything else. Plus they picked the poorest rated hoa for the neighborhood.

The home buying experience was tainted by the Lennar company, Eagle Home Mortgage, which made the entire process so stressful and they ignored entirely the impact every delay, and there were numerous delays by Eagle Mortgage. They did not care a little finger that every week they delayed, cost us, the customer, more in lodging, loan points, and utility charges from scheduling service starts, then having to reschedule them, appliance deliveries has to be delayed, orders changed or canceled. It was the worst experience we have ever had in home buying and this was our 6th home. Aside from that, our home was built fairly well, and during our acceptance only a few smallish repairs needed, and the construction manager handled those well. Eagle Home Mortgage, for us, was unprofessional to the point of amateurish and bumbling. Never once were we apologized to for their ineptitude and wholly unsatisfactory customer service. In fact, after all the delays, due to their incompetence, they had the gall to charge us more points because of those delays. I recommend never using Eagle Home Mortgage, if you can avoid them. ...
