Lennar Reviews

For poor service and attention to details from Lennar lender. Made several mistake and miscommunications throughout throughout the process. Myself who is in the financial industry and worked as a Mortgage specialist found this process to be very difficult with horrible communication. After closing we arrive back to the home to find the contractors from next door tracking mud in the home eating. They had finger prints on the wall and etc. when I contacted the builder they stated “Lennar never marked the house as sold”. So the contractors were hanging out listening to music during there lunch break in my new home. As I don’t think that justify why we had to move into a now dirty home with marks and dings throughout. We found several issues that weren’t fixed following the walk through and inspection that created a long process for us to try and get completed. This was no where near a pleasant home purchasing processes. ... More

The builder was delayed over 7-months. Lennar did not communicate well with their customers, costing their customer tens of thousands of additional dollars. We found out that we were getting our house keys with less than 24 hours notice.

Having a hard time getting things fixed or people over to fix items that should have been done at closing. Wouldn’t recommend lennar and will learn from this company moving forward.

The experience we shared with Nancy was unprofessional and could have been handled better. It was not a great experience and would not recommend Lennar to family or friends

I requested for appraisal two weeks before closing they never disclosed until the day before closing. Lennar disclosed low appraisal just the day before closing and asked me to pay the difference or to walk out leaving the pre advance paid. Very bad experience overall

This is the sixth home I’ve purchased and the worst experience I’ve ever had. The mortgage officer does not answer calls or emails and after being replaced, the second one didn’t do that either! The processor repeatly asks for documents she already requested and when I point out that I’ve already sent them… no apologies but instead prolongs the whole process further. The unit itself is acceptable however the swimming pool was supposed to be completed a month ago and still far from complete. I’m not sure I’m getting the best value for the amount of money I spent for the flooring upgrades. Overall, it was a stressful time from beginning to end. ... More

I am trying to give Lennar a good rating but every time I think the warranty service is improving and ready to do their job I am let down. Contractors that are sent to fix a problem do not show up or do half the job. I am lied by the different suppliers all the time. I will give you one of many examples. Defective glass sliding doors. I put in a service request and several weeks later your provider partner calls and makes an appointment for July the thirteenth to replace the doors. The call again a few days later and ask me to take pictures of the defective glass. I spend over an hour taking pictures that were acceptable to the rep. The thirteenth comes and goes. Nobody showed up and nobody called. I give them the benefit of the doubt and after their apologies for the mix up, we reschedule the installation for today July 20th. I called early morning to reconfirm the instruction. I am told the technician is scheduled A photographer not a technician shows up to take pictures of the same door that I had already done and sent in. No technician, no doors,no installation. He tells me to call his Boss. I do but she now decides to communicate via text only. She tells me that it will take 8 to 10 weeks to get the doors from the manufacturer, yet until this morning I was led to believe that the doors would be installed. Of the several conversations I had with the supplier not once did they tell me that the doors would be installed in 8 or 10 weeks. Like this one incident, there are many more. If you care to find out more and how badly your company is doing, please feel free to call me. ... More

We had bad experience with lennar mortgage that at the last minute we closed with a high mortgage rate when we had months before to get paperwork all finished and a lower mortgage rate also we took off work to fly in for a final walk through but they didn’t know we were coming in and wasted our time and money to fly into town and hotel

Our home buying experience wasn’t bad at first but the closer we got to closing the worse the experience was. The mortgage company told us they couldn’t lock our rate when I asked and then when our payment jumped up $400 in a matter of two months, they finally locked our rate. We were told we would close mid June so we scheduled our family vacation for the last week or May. Only to be told, that we’d close on 5/31/22. We checked the house before we left and it did not look ready for closing. We were correct. Lennar forced the closing with many items incomplete. Upon arriving back from vacation and trying to move in, we found the AC upstairs wasn’t working and the power in the master suite wasn’t either. We had drywall spray cover trim all throughout the house. We had exposed screws in every room. The back door wouldn’t lock and an upstairs window was damaged. We had various plumbing issues and tile issues. Our front entry was a disgrace. Words cannot describe the magnitude of issues the home had when we moved in. Yet, we were forced to close and were repeatedly told that if we did anything to stop the closing that we would lose the $24k we put down and would lose the home. They told us if that happened we could buy the house back for even more than we signed for months prior. We had no option but to close on a home that was not ready for people to live in. ... More

My family’s experience with Lennar was appalling start to finish. We will never be using them again.

You have a very good product, but the customer experience has been worse than terrible. You have demonstrated no interest at all in the concerns and challenges that your clients might have and you expect all flexibility to change things on your side, but are not willing to give any flexibility to your client.

We were really excited to buy this home for our family. This is our first home that we have ever bought. The process of applying for a loan was easy, where things began to fall apart is the lack of communication between all the different areas of the company. I felt like I was doing all the leg work. And to make matters worse, the closing of our house was moved 7 times. Sometimes we knew about it a week in advance and the last few times it was literally the day before we were to close. We moved into our home with not having a final green inspection done, (it had been done, but something failed and they needed to reinspect). Then there was no communication when the final reports were sent in so that I can change utilities into my name. We woke up to having no water at our house and no one letting us know the final reports were turned in. We have a medically fragile daughter and it’s important for us to have our utilities running. It’s just been an overall nightmare! ... More

Sales person was terrible with unprofessional attitude and manner No update about the progress, never heard back from him the moment we paid the deposit.

DO NOT SEND US MORE EMAILS OR DO NOT CONTACT US ANYMORE. Lennar is the worst company to work with. I will encourage all my friends not to use you as an option.

Felt like everyone in Lennar is too busy.

It started with a walk-through well before the house was ready, and multiple things not finished. I felt like the closing date was forced in order to get the sale in May. Still working on things that should have been done before the close. Even after multiple visits from the landscaper, yard is still in terrible condition.

Thank you Lennar for a really unique experience. We signed the purchase agreement in late October 2021. The home was already under construction so we were told it would be complete in the middle of January 2022. We sold our existing home fast and decided living in a hotel for two and a half months would not be that bad. Construction delays and material shortage kicked the actual close date to May 27, 2022. We were homeless for 7 months! Every step along the way we felt deceived and lied to. When we would talk to the customer representatives they would always say “Thank you for not yelling at us”. I would always wonder why a company would put its sales staff in line for customer abuse. We finally had a walk through of the “completed” house and found hundreds of poor fit and finish items that needed to be addressed. Almost none of the issues were properly addressed by Lennar before closing. My Wife’s new part time job is to submit complaint tickets and schedule repairs. We have had plumbing problems, HVAC problems that are still ongoing, cabinet faults, cracked tiles, The closing day was a mess no one knew if our house had actually closed. Now a month later we discovered that Lennar did not pay our home insurance at closing. They sent our home insurance payment to a different insurance company! We had to bring up the error to Lennar and they took 3 weeks to fix the problem. Bottom line. I will tell everyone to avoid Lennar for their future homes. I will never do business with them and I regret every step of this home buying experience. ... More

Mixed results From the sales department, we received miss information. Multiple information was incorrect. Downright incorrect. Also left out good things about the house that we didn’t even know about.. We feel there were changes made to the house and the sales person was never informed. The construction manager and sales person gave us a closing date. Your corporate closing coordinator move the date forward by three weeks and Cost us thousands of dollars and the house was not ready. In addition to that, whoever was in charge of the paperwork was nowhere near ready to have all these homes closed at the same time. After waiting for hours to close, we threatened to pull out of the deal and then miraculously the paperwork was found. On a positive note, working with Aaron and Shelley has been a pleasure and a relief because they have bend over backwards to make things right. There is a lack of quality workmanship from your trade partners. I still have a list of mile long of things that need to be corrected. I’ll let you know in the next survey how well that goes. I just want you to know how close we came to getting out of buying this home because of your closing coordinator and people involved with the paperwork on the deal. ... More

Door hinges shutter drain wrong angle towel hook not installed .

Moving through purchasing a new construction, the team at Lennar promised throughout that a physician loan would be possible. Two weeks ahead of my closing date, my loan officer informs me that the team at Lennar did not complete Fannie Mae paperwork required in order to finalize the loan. The team was unable to provide a reason as to why they were not submitting the paperwork, and ultimately I was forced in the last two weeks to gather an additional 17% of the house value in order to close with a non-physician loan. Stay away.

Lennar is is no way, shape, or form Customer Friendly. No choices or changes at all. "This is what you get and forget about making or requesting even the slightest change". No communication or updates forthcoming from the Lennar reps. Delay after Delay and no real concern or care on their part.

Lennar Title was the worst I’ve worked with and I almost backed out of the purchase because of them, Lennar didn’t pay real estate commission to my realtor so they got free labor but after I purchased, now they offer commission because the market has tanked, they take more than 2-3 weeks to respond to simple post purchase fixes needed. They keep sending surveys but do nothing about the feedback they receive. Interior doors are nice upgrade, appliances are middle quality except dishwasher is lowest quality available. Construction of the house itself is thankfully good but they cheapened out on the smallest things (no washing machine pan for second floor washing machine, kitchen faucet and water filter are cheap). The whole buying experience was terrible. There are plenty of other builders who provide a better experience for the same type of house. ... More

Extremely unreliable company. Creates time hacks and does not follow through. Issues all over the house ranging from wall paint chips to doors that don’t even close. Terrible

We went under contract six months prior before the home was finished. Im married. We made the offer under my name, but for investment purposes, we wanted to have my wife be on the house instead of myself. This is a simple process, it just needs to be approved by the builder. Literally we had sent them the document and all they had to do was sign it to get it done. We tried to do this a few months before close, but the Lennar denied. And it wasn’t like my wife didn’t have the qualifications. She was pre-approved and we would’ve closed on time. I think that because the value of the house went up, they were looking to have us drop out by not willing to work with us in hopes to sell it to someone else and keep our builders deposit of 10%. It was just bad service. We ended up closing on the property and I stayed on the house to get it done, but it was a simple request that they didn’t work with us on. Bad service. I won’t be building or purchasing a home from Lennar again. ... More

Worst buying experience in my life 7 months late, incomplete at time of closing,still have a dozen open items on the to do list. Can’t get a return phone call
