Lennar Reviews

Concierge was practically useless. Sales liason doesn't respond. They don't give a crap about your schedule or preferences. We see water drain issues in the yard within a month of home purchase.

Despite assurances that the home is waterproofed, the recent rainfall has resulted in substantial pooling of water around the foundation and subsequent flooding of our basement. This has caused damage to the interior, including the carpet and other finishes. The sump pump was operational; however, the volume of water penetrating the foundation itself suggests potential defects in either the foundation’s waterproofing or the structural integrity of the building.

Customer service was awful and the home buying experience was terrible.

I close on two brand new townhouses and Ghost Town when I ask for help as the screen door does not close and still Carpet has stains I’m not in South Carolina to view and everybody’s a ghost town now

We purchased our home in November and closed on our home in late February. We were promised weekly construction updates and concierge service. This never happened. Communication from Lennar throughout the process was horrible. Except of course from the lending side of their business. Quality of work appliances and fixtures is bargain basement. Plastic! Seriously, plastic fixtures. Plastic in the dishwasher, plastic garbage disposal. On the surface items appear to be quality. But the design and engineering team has taken every opportunity to cut costs and trim any quality features. Multiple plumbing issues, poor quality paint, carpet etc. For this price point, there should be quality fixtures, appliances, and flooring. Shame on you Lennar. ... More

AVOID. I would strongly discourage anyone from considering this company for a home purchase - our initial experience with them was absolutely terrible. My husband and I were full of excitement about buying our first home, especially with a baby on the way, and the prospect of living near our friends. Unfortunately, dealing with them turned our dream into a nightmare. Right from the beginning, their responsiveness was abysmal - either taking forever to reply or not responding at all. Despite seeing other homes with the same floorplan but with far superior amenities, we were told that our home lacked those features due to supply issues, as our street was among the last ones they were constructing, or just plans changed. This meant we ended up with subpar accommodations. Adding to our frustrations, they installed some of the light switches in crazy places that don't make sense, and the attic is practically inaccessible due to the HVAC unit and duct work being installed in the storage area, much different form the other houses we have seen with the same floor plan. The weeks leading up to the closing were the worst. Communication within the company was nonexistent, and they frequently misplaced our documents, only to demand them urgently at inconvenient times, like 3p.m. on a Friday. They consistently blamed us for their own shortcomings, despite us providing evidence of our timely responses. This cycle of incompetence and stress dragged on for weeks, far from the smooth home-buying journey we had hoped for. Even when it came to the closing day, they managed to mess up. Despite delaying our closing twice, they still couldn't get their act together. We ended up spending almost five hours in the title office waiting for documents that hadn't been sent over. Other home buyers we spoke to mentioned that their closing processes were swift, contrasting sharply with our ordeal. We had movers waiting, and our moving plans were disrupted due to their incompetence. To top it all off, when we finally received the keys to our new home, they were the wrong ones. We discovered that we were given the wrong home folder as well. It's baffling how such basic errors could occur. Fortunately, the contact details in the folder were incorrect, because we did try to call and let her know they gave us her keys. We eventually got in touch with our sales rep and loan officer. That evening, our sales representative made an effort to assist us, but discovered that the keys were located at their office with no duplicates available. Conversely, our loan officer dismissed the situation with laughter and requested that we visit the office early the next morning to return the packet. However, the whole situation was a testament to the unprofessionalism of this company. Even after moving into our home and concluding our dealings with Lennar, they continue to be a source of stress for us. It appears that they sold our mortgage shortly after the closing without transferring our information and payments to the new loan company. Consequently, my husband had to spend several more hours on the phone to resolve the issue and ensure our home insurance payments were properly processed. In summary, dealing with Lennar was nothing short of a nightmare. ... More

Just not a good experience in any way except Travis our concierge. We feel mislead and ripped off. Delays. Horrible communication. We knew Lennar is not a top builder, but we’re not expecting this? Ever heard of closing at 11P? Ever heard of a builder trying to coverup a breakin during construction? You will.

Aside from being bullied into purchasing a home that at the end of the day was built improperly. And I do not want. The walls are uneven. There's areas where the ceiling is lower on one side of a wall than the other. My glass door that should have been included in the house that I had to buy separately because they decided. They're no longer providing glass for the showers. And didn't even lower the price of the house because of it. I couldn't install it because I have to redo the entire shower wall because it's Bode. Meaning that it's not level. It's not even This has been an issue throughout the entire house. The things that I thought I was gonna be able to buy. That would have been extra because of all the things that they said were included. I couldn't purchase because by the time we close on the house. None of the things that were promised were there. No backsplash, no washer and dryer. The counters were incorrect. The sink was incorrect. The shower glass was no longer being a part of the house. I had to make those purchases taking money away from things that we were originally gonna do to add to the house. I've never been robbed in my life. But I can wholeheartedly say I know what it feels like. ... More

We bought a good house. However, the people who were handling the listing, loan, and closing were terrible to work with. I have bought 6 houses before and I have never seen such a mess. Never again will I buy another property from Lennar.

Never going with Lennar and would recommend others to do the same. I bought Lennar's property Canyon Creek at Bothell WA and they constructed homes right behind my backyard. My home's privacy is compromised, obviously they did this after selling houses in the row and then building behind. Untrustworthy.

Terrible craftsmanship. You can see the mud on the sheet rocks through the paint because it is so thin and they only put one coat on. The wall when light hits it from an angle shows a large repair mound and tape line from Floor to ceiling. There’s holes in the subfloor on the second level under the carpet. There’s piles of something under the linoleum in the Laundry room. Apparently none of the floors are prepped before you just throw carpet or vinyl over it to cover up everything. Shingles have blown off the roof, garage was only taped and never finished with mud, in the tape job is terrible. The first floor vinyl planking is damage severely by the staircase because it had no protection on it . The master bathroom, vanity lights aren’t even hung at the same distance from the ceiling. The refrigerator freezer has a broken drawer and the wrong shelf and cap pieces. The heating ducks tick nonstop from the furnace running and is unbearable to listen to constantly in the living room on the main floor. The whole house humidifier randomly will be just running water down the drain when the furnace isn’t even on. The garage is sheet rocked with two walls left un-insulated, about as cheap as a builder can be. The garage floor should have been dug down to flatten out the steepness of the driveway that you can’t park on if it has ice because you’ll slide out into the street. Multiple window seals are shot with frost inside the glass. Multiple windows are scratched in the glass. The kitchen sink drain does not let the water out at the correct rate, causing it to back up Because of the angle of the drain line in the slab floor. You can feel the wind blowing through the window trim because nothing was sealed around the windows when installed. 7 foot garage doors are a joke. The furnace is under powered, even with all of the vents closed on the second level, barely anything blows out of the vents on the lower level. The concrete is horrible with cracks filled with large amounts of caulking. There’s paint on the carpet in multiple areas in the master bedroom. The floors creak already when walking on the second level. The stairway railings feels like they will fall off the wall if you put any weight on it. The microwave has a dent on the front of it, and pops and bangs after running for 4–5 minutes. This is just off the top of my head of the problems. ... More

I feel like cheated by the front agent with the bidding process. They have made not go with the realtor stating that we would have an advantage. Later we found that it is an absolute lie. They have lied us at corporate level.

Horrible experience. Noone ever answers the phone and when they do they pass the issue to another person. There's problem every step of the way. Had to postpone receiving the keys because lennar mortgage did not release the loan on time. Many issues with the house, weak construction, water leaks, power not wired properly. Overall horrible experience

Not satisfied with home buying experience, had problems with water on the side of house, drainage and no one wants to fix, regret moving here,

Never got my keys day of closing, lock was broken, it didn’t get fixed for weeks and keys never sent to me like I was told. I had to drive 2 hours to pick them up. Leaks in the house after day 3. No one likes to help, I had to call a lot of numbers to finally get a response. I had lots that needed to be fixed and it took over a month with lots of contractors coming almost daily. This does not include all the blue stickers that were undone before closing. Lennar is not trustworthy in my opinion and to many of my neighbors as well. There is so much more to say but, I would run out of room to write everything. I would not recommend even Lucifer to buy from Lennar. I am still needing things fixed and there a big lack of communication. Wish my new home buying experience was better. There is no quality in the homes being built which is unfortunate. Maybe Lennar should teach their worker’s communication and customer service skills. ... More

Lennar mortgage is the worst! I may NOT purchase Lennar house in the future purely because of the terrible loan officer from Lennar. I have submitted my complaints about my loan officer and nobody has ever contacted me.

We selected Lennar because it was building homes in the area we wanted to live. No other builders really had inventory in our our price range and timeline. What a mistake! Worst experience I've ever had. They were late completing the home. The mortgage division is incompetent. They cost us thousands of dollars due to their mistakes.

Not a great satisfaction after buying home from Lennar

Briana was awful . She was not responsive to emails or phone calls. She didn’t know the answers to mortgage questions and told me inaccurate information. I had to get her boss involved because it was impossible to deal with her. She wanted me to sign documents that were inaccurate. Up to the day of closing, the down closing costs were still unsure. I literally was so stressed out that I ended up in the hospital the following day for tightening of my chest. I’m young, with no issue of the heart. The Dr said it had to be stress related. Carmela at lennar mortgage was outstanding. I wish she could have handled my entire mortgage process. She stepped in to assist where she could. William, my first NHC, was awful as well. Thankfully I was able to change to Sandra who made the experience a little better. Crystal was amazing and also helped with the walk through. Unfortunately, Briana and William were my main contact people throughout this experience which made it awful and I wouldn’t do this again with lennar if I had the opportunity. ... More

I could write a book...everything was terrible

The local contractors did a good job, however Lennar as a company cuts corners everywhere and use bad products. They short change at the dumbest opportunities, like a thermostat. All around bad, the best part is that the actual local contractors can come after you buy and then make everything right.

Beware of everything they tell you and be careful what you sign. When you ask for repairs to be made you or told that it us not covered or they sent unqualified repair people that have made the problem worse

Very dissatisfied with the home, paid over $600K and having to do a lot of things to get it to the way we want it, cheap cabinets, plain counter tops, all white, no color, no towel racks or medicine cabinets! A shell of a home!! I wish I would have not purchased this tome

Run far away. Lennar uses subpar materials and even poorer contractors. So many problems with our new house. And when you call they just lie and deflect. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. The worst experience possible. Buy anything else.

The only good experience about this entire process was Jean and Kim. The lender was a terrible experience. The builder started out nice but after the close didn’t really care anymore. Still waiting on promised items. With me buying the flagship house first one on the corner at the entrance of the neighborhood you would think I would be the last client you would want to treat bad. Your reputation is on the line and word of mouth is everything.
