Lennar Reviews

Buying from Lennar was like being bullied into a deal. When we bought the house they shortcut a lot of things. The sub contractors were not caring at all about their craft. Lennar forced us to stick to the contract even though they were weeks behind on their work. The final walkthrough was scheduled after the closing date. They refused to budge on adjusting time frames and owning up to the work that needed to get done. By the time final walkthrough happened. They needed to touch up all the baseboards in the house and repaint/repair a lot of areas. Lennar also refused to follow specs. Not giving us closets and grass with sprinklers as promised. Throwing $5 bag of mulch down and calling it done. We have constant leaks and flooding in the garage because the house was built wrong. Customer service promise to resolve issues but schedule weeks out. I will look into legal actions but buyer beware!!! ... More

ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT NOBODY WANTS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT…. Dirty floors, broken lighting fixtures, broken refrigerator, problems with heating system that according to the company who came today, it has no warranty. Squishy floor, cracked tub, scratched kitchen cabinets. Glue on toilets and kitchen sink, Etc….. ITS A BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION. what its wrong with this company???. To answer the question if I recommend this builders. NO!

Only person that was phenomenal was the loan officer, Amy, her response to all questions and all concerns were answered promptly as far as construction and sales. Their attention and response was absolutely horrifying and I would never purchase a home from Leonard again, nor would I recommend anyone to my family or my s purchase from Lennar

Poor experience. Electricity bills have been swapped with the other neighbors have created crises paying $600 electricity bills Walls have been paded with color to hide these are broken Many other issues like the sink was scratched, floors are scratched etc

There is no communication between Lennar and the homeowner with informing them the work is going to be done in neighborhood examples sidewalk being poured ,backfill of dirt on property, installing asphalt driveway, and sod installation. Residents got their cars stuck in the Garage and couldn't get out. The homeowners association is non you call they say you have to talk to one person he's never available then your email never responds. Terrible buying experience and just too many things wrong already with a house in just a couple of months. You can't walk 10 feet in the house without hearing terrible squeaks in the flooring which was supposed to be fixed at pre-inspection before was told that it was because the house heat was down and the floor needed to acclimate. Wrong it's worse now. SCARY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN the FUTURE with a problem ... More

Houses are built of poor quality and lot of cosmetic issues. Honestly this is my first time home purchase and I went with lennar since it's a good brand but very disappointed for the price that I paid. Lennar's mantra is 'Everything is Included' but they did not offer me a single extra thing I have asked for. Considering the price I paid this house is not worth it

Drywall work is some of the worst I’ve seen. I will have to do the repairs myself. The repairs Lennar had done are crap at best. As bad as the drywall is the painting and caulking is way worse. It took two months to get our mailbox keys. My wife called to get answers and was yelled at. This box isn’t big enough for all our complaints.

lenders dishonest and delayed, loss of income, horrible finished product, cheap and fast, nics chaulk, dry wall, carpet, worst experience start to now. will do everything possible forever to help others avoid the pain and stress.

I wouldn't buy from Lennar Aston Park. From the get go, they did not appear trust worthy. The mortgage officer started out by misleading about the loan requirements. The underwriting process was cumbersome, and I had to basically do the job of the underwriter by writing all my income, sources, and how they were spent in the last 3-6 months in an email. Apparently, sharing my bank statements and other relevant official document was not enough. Walkthrough personnel was not polite. After closing, it was a hassle to get the keys. You have to be there at exactly 11am. Not before, not after. I found the garage door had a large dent after closing. This wasn't there during the walkthrough. Overall, just a terrible buying experience. I wouldn't recommend this subdivision to anyone. ... More

My buying experience was very bad with Lennar, starting from salesperson to the entire sales team gave me hard time, poor communication while your home is getting built, they can lie about anything to just sell the home. I had a very good experience with Pulti homes, and they have excellent customer Servies, i will never ever buy a Lennar home again.

Paid cash. Money had to be paid prior to closing. Which was prior to walk through. On Walk through house had a ton of problems and issues and was not even completed. Never had a second walk through which in New York is unheard of to fix all the problems. Morning I closed not one issue on walk through list was addressed and the house still was not finished. To date two months later the home is still not complete let alone items on walk through complete. Now I’m being told I have to take pictures and do item by item on website. Everyone passes the buck not one person handles the situation. It looks like they used refurbished or damaged material throughout my home. Cabinets without paint, modelings that are all damaged, broken tiles, after closing being so upset I had an inspection of my own with over 45 items on it. Not one handle on any cabinet throughout my home is level or parallel to the other. Multiple times I asked for directors or managers to come to my home to which never happened. Completely and utterly disgusted. And so are all the neighbors on my block. But employees were ok taking money but not ok getting jobs done. I’m sure this review will not even be addressed ... More

Lennar builds so cheap, finishing work absolutely horrible, rush to close to make there quarter. Not even the faucets are strait... on the other side, they have some good people that respond and work hard with their limited resources. Fantastic property, amenities and neighbors!

Closing took over 10 hours, delayed 4 times while I waited in a U Haul. Nothing was fixed that was asked for. None well return phone calls. 2 months later we still can't get mail. Workers speed up and down the road plus trash keeps blowing in the yard. Can't reach HOA about rules.

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.
