Lennar Reviews

We spent a lot of money for builder grade finishings like a can light in the foyer and bedrooms, no mirrors in the bathrooms, no towel bars or shower rods at all. We couldn’t know because there was no model for our home. The walls are wavy, the corners are all crooked, the master bedroom door wouldn’t stay closed because the lock was not aligned. The closing was over one month late costing us $2500 in rent which they refused to compensate. The microwave was unlevel and had to be fixed three times. The plans were not run by the town causing major trash can pickup issues which we were assured before closing would be fixed by the town buying a smaller garbage truck. We were told if we didn’t water the new sod and it died, they wouldn’t replace it even though much of our yard is considered community common area. They said the amenities would be done in 2024 but now it’s 2025. We have to go to the edge of the current buildings with no parking or turn around for our mail dodging mud, dumpsters, trucks, and we counted 25 nails in the road. I have already had to replace a tire with a nail. ... More

I will start by saying I was looking forward to a great new construction buying experience, especially since my wife spoke highly of them based on her prior experiences with Lennar. She had attended Lennar's informational open houses for brokers over the years, received their sales materials, and heard verbal promises, which were also documented in print. This positive anticipation made the subsequent disappointments and shortcomings even more disheartening. The entire purchasing process was deeply flawed. Despite having an attorney designated to receive correspondence, the sales office ignored this crucial detail. Communication regarding issues was virtually non-existent, and any attempts to rectify them were made at the last minute after our agent relentlessly pursued the matter with the buyer. They repeatedly denied any issues with drainage, even though neighboring properties faced similar problems. Those neighbors filed complaints, and their issues were resolved, but we were left without any response. This glaring disconnect in communication and disregard for our attorney handling the closing was evident. The client continually received a request to resign a contract after we were out of attorney review, and after the agent advised the sales office, they still ignored the buyer's request to send all correspondence to their attorney, since they were out of state and had hired an attorney to handle the closing. The drainage problems even forced us to pay extra to extend our rate and delayed the closing. To make matters worse, the issues with the house, including sprinklers hitting the property and not functioning, were never addressed. It became apparent that they only acknowledged our concerns after we took possession of the home. The actual closing was a frosty, unprofessional affair. We were ushered into a room without a warm welcome, no customer service courtesy, not even an offer of water. No congratulations or any show of appreciation. This was, without a doubt, the worst experience in my wife's 20 years of dealing with real estate closings. She had never encountered such issues with closings and communication. She shudders to think how another client might have felt. As an agent, she feels the need to prepare future clients for the Lennar disconnect and plans to bring her own coffee and water to a Lennar closing, even though they had a full kitchen and coffee center they walked us by. It was an experience that felt incredibly cold and unprofessional. Even during the closing, there was a lack of a Lennar representative. It's unclear where the ball was dropped, especially considering Lennar had set the closing date and claimed time was of the essence. We were ready to close on time from day one, but the house was not. We closed with a broken glass window, and the most perplexing part is that they didn't even provide a fire extinguisher in the home, despite having a Certificate of Occupancy issued. Do I at least get a fire extinguisher? The workers couldn't be blamed for the issues I requested to be fixed inside; they were done well, and the glass was eventually replaced, albeit with some delay due to back orders that were beyond their control. Lennar falsely advertised various features, like the 200-amp service, which turned out to be only 100 amps. They also claimed soft-close cabinet doors and a stone elevation that wasn't as promised in all their materials and paid for as a premium elevation site. It was an unprofessional experience all around. The construction head was the only one who made any significant efforts to address our concerns, and he deserves five stars for his dedication. Regrettably, no one else at Lennar seemed to care enough to rectify the false advertising. After moving in, I was finally able to get the sprinklers fixed. It's too soon to comment on the quality and workmanship; only time will tell. What's particularly concerning is that they did not allow a buyer's inspection prior to closing or during the attorney review, which will undoubtedly make everyone leery in the future. ... More

Don’t make the same mistake as I did go with a different builder.

Angeline 55+ Community has the worst contractor follow ups. We closed on our home August 30, 2023 during the hurricane, therefore we were unable to do the final walk thru none of the items were fixed and they still are not fixed, we keep getting promises but nothing happens. The internet is the worst!!! I have little or no service in the house, they put the box in the furthest point in the home and it delivers a very weak signal. I have talked to customer service and they say there is nothing they can do for us it's the internet provider but Lennar provided an extended to other residents of the community at no charge but they told me that that is not offered anymore and it didn't come with our package!! Package??? we did not know it was an option, nor did we know that the internet would be a problem. Because of the lack of weak internet, our ring doesn't even protect our home! I work out of my home and rely on the internet! We will never purchase a home from Lennar again! ... More

We have been lied to, misled, dismissed, and a few other negative experiences during our Lennar purchase and ownership. From the first problem with the closing date requested when making our offer through our first significant warranty claim, it has been problem after problem, and struggle after struggle. This is our third new home purchase, and I feel we are familiar with how this process should go. Lennar has been the worst experience of the three. No one seems to care and no one seems to be empowered to do the right thing, let alone resolve anything. Running out of places to turn for help, and this is just the start of our home ownership. ...

Contractors workmanship very poor Appliances supplied very poor and cheap manufactured 2002 Does not keep their promises on the repairs They rush you through the closing and promised to finish the remaining repairs on varies things and was poorly done Items used on the house very poor quality . I will never purchase house under the Lennar name or recommend them .

The sand and water comes thru the windows and door. The slider door falls off. The garage door is on on the track. The response to fix these issues is none.

My overall home buying experience was stressful and almost traumatic. By far the worst purchasing experience I've ever dealt with. There was an extreme lack of communication with everyone involved. My closing date was moved up without my knowledge only to satisfy the managers' quota for the month. I felt more like a number on a sales performance board than an actual customer making one of the most important purchasing decisions of my life. My interest rate was changed from what was discussed so I had to follow up multiple times to have it changed back. The house repairs were not fixed from the orientation by the time of my closing date, but I was still forced to close on that day. Lennar (although at fault for not fulfilling their obligations) gave me an ultimatum to close on the 28th of August or I would lose out on the deal. No one was sympathetic to my frustrations. I've purchased a home in the past, so I know the difference between good customer service and whatever it is that Lennar calls this. ... More

Do not buy a home from Lennar.

Worst experience in my life

The picture presented on the webpages is nothing, like my house looks like. I feel like I was totally railroaded. All the videos of what I was showing that I would receive, I did not. From the outside to the in. it is nothing like I was shown. When I try to contact somebody for help, it takes days and talking to 20 different people in order to get some thing done. It has been an absolute nightmare. I would never refer any of them to anyone who is in the market for a house.

Our salesperson was dishonest and unresponsive. He used high pressure tactics and forced us to close on an unfinished home (or lose our deposit). Workmanship for an executive home was abysmal. Follow up post sale was non existent with numerous unreturned calls. There has been a complete lack of coordination to get problems rectified. This company is all about moving units and quality is not even factored in.

As far as the home buying process it is easy and simple but the quality in workmanship around the house it is extremely poor. Everything in the house is built too fast therefore the house have problems just like an old house. I already got multiple problems on a "new" house. Lennar will tell you that everything in the house has warranty which it does but, you have to take out of your time to fix problems they made while building the house. Also, it takes them a long time to fix anything. I bought a new house to not have problems of an old house.

Home is substandard with poor workmanship. Lennar did not meet any of our expectations of a newly constructed home. Home was not finished by the closing date despite reassurance that everything would be done. We wanted to delay the closing until everything was completed but Lennar threatened loss of our 10% deposit if we did not close that day. Construction manager apologized and gave his commitment that he would personally make sure everything was done right but broke his promise the next day and said it was not his department or responsibility after closing.

Nothing but issues. Broken stove paint all over floor prices of floor not installed correctly dishwasher installed on wrong side,

Lennar was absolutely the worst home building experience we’ve ever been through. Extremely unorganized. Quality of work was horrendous. Lack of communication. Cleanliness was horrible. We will never build with Lennar again and will do everything we can to get others to avoid this builder.

My Lennar loan officer was not trustworthy or responsive. He didn’t respond to several voicemail over a 4 week period and it cost me .25% on my rate. He claimed to not remember how much money I had for a down payment. This was discussed in our initial call & multiple times thereafter. He did a poor job of fully explaining options & even stated that Lennar’s promise to pay closing costs was “just marketing “! When I arrived to my home orientation, the entire interior had not been painted & there were drywall flaws throughout. The painters were rushing to finish the day of final walkthrough & closing. The finishing work was absolutely terrible! The interior doors were warped, damaged & hung unevenly. The sod was dead in the front & back yards and my sprinkler system still doesn’t work after 7 weeks. I’ve had to schedule repair work with 6 different sub contractors so far. I’m very disappointed with Lennar. ... More

I signed on my home, on that day I had a water leak and the front bath floor was flooded, my dishwasher fell out of the island and the whole ring thing is a mess that was never explained to me. You should note that six weeks later I still do not have a vanity or sink in that bathroom! I had little to no orientation and had no help finding out how to get assistance. You had NO trouble telling me how much money you needed and when you expected it!

Terrible experience. Total junk! Don’t waste your time! False promises just too sell a house!

I had a bad experience with overall delays and last minute changes.

Not a good experience with the sales manager and her forcing us to close on the house to meet month ends numbers when repairs and gas line leak needed to be fixed. They threatened that if we didn't close even though there were major issues that they would put us in default and we would have to pay late fees. For our initial walkthrough the home was a mess, wasn't cleaned and debris all over but wanted to close on time and blame us despite these issues

Months in they pushed closing date and made no progress for more than 6weeks on walk through we had holes in wall no fridge door no molding closet doors still not hung, tile missing grout, walls and ceiling was bowed…36 problems noted. Now the second walk through was much netter but we still had issues with promise to return as well as covering expenses for an extended stay in hotel due to first walk through and we are now almost two months in and no word.

One of the manager had sarcastic behavior. totally frustrated with buying process. There are lots of scenarios which describes the builder behaviour.

I am rating because of the issues I faced after I moved in. I booked remotely house in Devon Square and during inspection we showed multiple things but they didn’t fix even after months of move and even after we raised multiple requests. On top of this they also charged me $200 for inspection I dont know what that was for. Also I got the electricity bill dates before the closing date and they are asking me to pay. What ridiculous this is…
