Lennar Reviews

Cheap material used for homes read the contract if they run out of materials they use what ever they have and for the concrete make sure your drive way looks good cuz they are chipped.

A house is a really Big Investment, In this inflated house people are pushing themselves to pay inflated price houses. After Paying High Price, Buyers believe that they will get good quality service and house would worth the money but thats not happening with Copperleaf Lennar. Following are the reasons and examples that proves it - 1) starting with Sales Team, The house price is not fixed and they keep changing the prices and offer different prices to every buyer. Being an really good brand as Lennar, their standards are not maintained very well. For houses they define the prices every time different prices for buyer. Sales Person (i.e. NKLE) which helped is worst person never showed face and called or checked on us after taking the minimum 5% deposit. Always misguided us without sharing the details of the House. Model House AURORA was having a 4th bedroom on 2nd floor but in the one they sold to us had loft room that they informed on the very last day when we were about to sign the purchase. Cash incentives she offered was way less than she offered to other buyers even though i paid 20% down payment. She was always hungry and greedy to take the 5 % deposit, never called us to help us in buying process but always called us to misguide us, i kept asking can we have a basement included model but she never told the plan that few houses more basement would be available, now new buyers are paying same price with basement included. she always on rush to sell the house and kept asking - "can u give 5%, can you give 5 % can u give 5 %" every possible time whenever she calls just keep asking same thing and never helped us to guide in right direction to satisfy what we want. once she sold she never looked back to us on how we doing and if we have any questions. worst sales person i ever met. without asking us on the first visit she thought we dont have realtor and didnt bother to ask, on second met we said we had realtor and we told already that to customer representation on day 1 but she said we told he that we don't have realtor. and she said she will help to guide us but if we would have realtor we could have learned a lot and understood if it would be right to buy this particular house. she never helped us on guiding in right way but all she wanted is 5 % deposit. 2) finishing of the house is not great, though its brand new and under warranty we understand they can fix problems but that takes a while. the good finish house is expected from Lennar but this is not a good finish house like it supposed to have, the color paints under windows are not nicely done, stairs are getting break., vynl floor is making noise every time we walk. never cleared us that there will be rain water drainage in front of house will be open which is never informed us and only told us when we asked after closing day. houses are getting build so fast that itself tells how good the quality would have been maintained. 3) Mortage from Lennar plays a very nice game, due to cash incentives we are bound to take mortage from them only on the rates that they have monopoly on. outside lenders were giving me 6.75% but i was given 7% and they didnt match it . they said this is what it is bec they knew they are giving cash incentives from builder so buyer will take mortage from them only. 4) Quality inspection doesnt know anything, she just walks in and talk nicely. inspection was never done properly as the wiring issues we found out after moving in, the appraisal of the house was never done properly and they just did it with couple house around and not using a truth table. 5) after moving in we realize tons of problems. and now seeing every new buyer is getting better price then what we was offered. they are not maintaining a standard disciplined rate. they keep slashing 50k 70 k sometimes 80k and when we asked to do that to us and reduce some price during negotation they did nt. buyer like me are ok to pay the price but when we realzied its not the worth of money to pay for and Lennar being a bigger brand keep slashing prices for near by house it itself means its a worst quality build. my only feedback to them - ask for what it worth for, build a good quality home, remove the poor sales team and have a genuine sales person and not like NCKLE who only wants to misguide buyers. ...

As soon as we signed the contract, it all went downhill…Lennar struggled and still have not completed items from the Home Celebration walk. You need to chase them to complete otherwise Lennar tries to close the items without completing. Condescending attitude while you bring outstanding items even if it is evident the items are just not completed or do not comply with industry standards.

Low quality materials and appliances. No customer support after the sale. The application/closing process is confusing

The documents process was extremely slow. We had to speak with 8 different people for the proper forms and access to websites. Filed complaints against 1 woman who would not return phone calls and dragged out underwriting for weeks!!

I was really excited to start the process of buying a home with Lennar Homes. Throughout my homebuyer process, I was somewhat clueless of what to expect. The person that I spoke to initially, which I thought it was my Realtor, rushed me through the initial process to take a down payment within the first day of meeting her. I was only shown two homes Which the first was already sold and the second was the last available so I was told. I was told that I would be walk-through the whole process if I had any questions or concerns I could reach out to my her, Jennifer. Jennifer was absolutely no help. She was only looking to make her commission from the sale. I only really spoke with her once. She knew I was a first time homebuyer in my whole story and I thought she was trustworthy enough to help me throughout the process. She was not at all. Even after purchasing the home throughout the stressful process with all the other agents that I spoke with about the mortgage loan, I have yet to speak with her. Each time I reach out to her I either get no answer or I have to communicate with someone else that has no clue of any information to provide to me as well. The mortgage officer is were very rude as well. I know it is a stressful job, but the point of the Realtor is to take the stress off the customer and the mortgage officer . Neither department was effective, sympathetic or compassionate . They were all rude and demanding and completely unfortunately Uncompassionate to the process . The construction of the home was thrown together. I’ve had many issues since the start with electrical and plumbing. Again, I have yet to be able to speak with my realtor about this because she has not returned any of my calls. The warranty department seems a bit sketchy with Lennar homes as well. Thus far, I have not been completely satisfied but making do because I’ve set myself up for failure for a $300,000 home that really isn’t even worth 75,000. They say when you know better you do better, I only plan to stay in this home for maybe the next two years and then I will be selling. I thought this would be my forever home, But at this rate, it does not look like it will be. Lennar should have Realistic realtors that are really willing to work with first time homebuyers, Or any homebuyers that is. Explain the full process and detail what to expect and what is included. They should not be so concerned about the commission that they are going to make either way. I was told by Jennifer that if things were not correct, and I was not happy then I would become her headache that far. It seems like she’s been avoiding me by dodging my calls and never being in the office whenever I stop by. Not to mention that I’ve been in Home for almost 5 months now and I’m just now getting a mailbox key that works and our mail is just now being delivered. We were distributed other peoples keys and had to run down the office to get the keys corrected. There are millions of homes in this neighborhood and each person had a different person’s key. I can only imagine how much of my mail had been stolen if it was ever even delivered. The recreation center took forever to be completed and has still yet to be fully completed. Are key cards still do not work appropriately And the pool is never clean. Things with Lennar should be more transparent than they are. All in all, I am not happy with my service or my home, but I guess I will make do since I am stuck here. ... More

Lennar interior and exterior quality is very bad. I can say million issues in every place. 1. Our bathroom water leaked in just 3 weeks and Lennar have to break the walls to fix. 2. Our microwave trips every time and no solution for that. 3. Paint is falling apart inside the house 4. It’s funny when you see the flower plants Lennar gave in the landscaping. 5. Not worth for the money we spent.

I am a first time homebuyer and this purchase has been nothing but problems. House was very clearly rushed. There is no point of contact to escalate issues. All attempts to contact my customer care rep have been extremely poor. Prior to closing, rep did not follow through on issues found in the first walkthrough. He did not attend the final walkthrough 1 day before closing, no notice or apology. After closing, issues are very slow to be addressed, taking several weeks to resolve simple things. The rep does not seem to proactively work on my tickets and instead requires me to reach out and push him to get the problems fixed. Multiple homes in my community flooded the first time it rained due to improper drainage. ... More

they threaten people to take high conventional rates instead of fha.

We walk thru to Alexis and some issue still not fix so much point finger which different contractor or difffrent person.to fix the issue. This is my wife first time a brand new house with a lot of defects.. The first week we found a lot of insects in the house even our dog got bite with this insect…So dirty our front garage driveway till now… all our door frame was so much issue from the front to all bedrooms…No manager was try to tech us they keep saying make a work order which not even six months we been sending work orders. I didn’t not know we bought a lemon house…

Worst experience ever, i would leave any stars if it was possible

Terrible is all I can say. Being lied to is another reason not to buy a new home from Lennar.

Let me just start out by saying this is the absolute worst experience I have ever had with a business. In late March 2024 we found out we may have to sell our home in Florida and move to middle Tennessee for work. We found a realtor who we love and started chatting about must haves around March 25th, lots of space, at least 2 additional rooms, open concept, we wanted a covered back patio, and option to install a privacy fence. The realtor and I came across Lennar homes, and they were building in a new location called Coles Ferry Village. Our realtor reached out to the selling agent Rocky so we can start inquiring about the homes and the process - this is where the nightmare begins. We were able to get a showing of a model with a floorplan that we ended up really liking. We found out that we were indeed moving and only had 3.5 weeks before we had to report to work on April 28th. At this time, we had gone over all the documents with the selling agent we confirmed a cover patio was going to be installed, and we again confirmed the fence was not going to be an issue. We were assured everything was perfect and we had nothing to worry about. About a week later after the first week of April we get a call and are told just kidding the house and plot you have picked was not submitted to have a covered patio - there is no way for us to add one since the permits are already approved through the county. We should have walked then but we didn't. We decided ok well maybe we can negotiate the sale of the house and put the covered patio in ourselves, we renegotiated numbers and came to an agreement, and we were still assured the fence wasn't going to be a problem. We assume everything is fine from this point on. When we signed documents with the selling agent we were give a tentative closing date of June 6th, pretty early on that date was pushed back to June 18th. Meanwhile we were in corporate housing for 30 days and had 30 days of storage paid for by our company. We moved into corporate housing on April 28 - May 28. We were only going to need a few days in between corporate housing and closing on our house. We worked closely with our company, and we were advised we can extend your corporate housing as long as we have enough notice. I said we should be good we will get our 30-day notice on the 18th but I am going to reach out and try and get a head start, I reached out to the selling agent on May 10th. ... More

They used cheap material in the house and does not match with the price. Also has small pool for big community and it’s not kids friendly pool.

From the start of our home-buying experience to the end, we have had issue after issue - from trying to work with Lennar mortgage to the sales office, we have had to continually push *upper management* for a response. Although our home was move-in ready when we started the process, our closing date was delayed three times without so much as an apology - there has been absolutely no transparency through the process. Lennar emailed us early on saying to ensure we reply quickly to emails or requests, however, Lennar is excruciatingly slow in getting anything done. If you’re willing to be patient more than anyone should have to be, I guess our Lennar home worked out in the end, but I would go with ANY other builder in the future. Our realtor says she will never recommend buying through Lennar after this experience. ... More

Extremely poor HOA, you are selling 3 bed homes and restricting 2 cars per home, no one mentioned these during selling time and now the selling agent Ashley doesn't even bother to respond, never going to buy from Lennar ever. We spent close to $1.5 M on properties at the community and that's the service we get Extremely disappointed and poor service

I love our new home but when it comes to Lennar taking care of simple issues that were clearly caused by them don’t expect much after closing. McKenna who is the Lennar employee responsible for processing the warranty repair’s is rude and unprofessional. For example she disagreed with an issue stating that it’s cosmetic and after speaking to her on the phone she AGREED TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT IN PERSON BUT STATED SHE WAS STILL GOING TO DENY IT even before seeing it in person. McKenna is well known throughout the neighborhood as being rude when dealing with her. I caution anyone who is going to buy a Lennar home in the Troutman area in to compare reviews to other builders in the area. I will also note that Lennar mortgage was in fact easy and a positive experience. Side note I spoke to neighbors who bought DR Horton homes in the same neighborhood and they have had a wonderful experience so far from buying to the warranty related issues. ... More

Poor from the moment we closed So many issues. Such poor finishing. Such a slow unprofessional service getting the house as it should have been. Even untidy, broken tiles everywhere, pool green etc etc Couldn’t have been worse

Bad buying experience with Lennar

Everything was ok until we signed the paperwork and then all the all the Promises we were told would be fixed or resolved we are still waiting to be fix! We never got our box of tile we were told would be in our garage and that our lawn to be fixed! We still don’t have grass in our yard after living here two months! I will never buy another house from Lennar and I will be telling everyone about the poor customer service and empty promises we were told would be handled!!

When I first came to look at a home. My realtor told me the house was white and it ended up being purple during my walk through. Also workers used my bathroom and left me a present and the house was not cleaned when given to me. Worst experience ever.

The amount of cosmetic defects and the amount of time it has taken to fix these issue has been the worst experience of my house buying experience. We were rushed through the final walk through a lot of things were missed and the whole process just felt rushed! From the financial stand point all the way through closing. Miscommunication with the entire staff from sales to closing escrow agents. Worse experience ever. Never again will I get a Lennar home

Too many different people involved in the process and a lack of accountability. Move in items were not completed timely and still finding issues.

I cannot stress this enough: stay as far away from Lennar as possible. My experience with them has been an absolute nightmare. From the very beginning, they were unprofessional and unreliable. Deadlines were consistently missed, communication was terrible, and the quality of the work was horrendous. The house they built for me is riddled with issues—poor craftsmanship, cheap materials, and countless problems that should have been caught during construction. It's clear that they cut corners wherever they could, and now I'm left with a house that needs constant repairs. The customer service is non-existent. Every time I tried to raise concerns, I was met with excuses, delays, or outright ignored. It's clear that once they have your money, they couldn't care less about the quality of their work or your satisfaction. If you're thinking about building a home, do yourself a favor and avoid Lennar at all costs. You'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and headaches by going with a more reputable builder. ... More

The staff are not that good. Very bad material quality considering that the price of the house is almost half a million dollars Issues started to appear after just one week of closing. Their warranty are scam. It doesn't cover the roof the fence the irrigation system. Overall experience BAD
