Lennar Reviews

Javier from Lennar Loan processing has created a very stressful and not pleasant at all. The loan processing and interest rates were delayed and once we were pushed to the corner , they didnt leave us any option but to take the loan. He misguided us when we had an option to go with the private lender.

All I can say is don’t buy a home from these guys.

3 month delay in closing, sales people throw in our face that they have 2 years to complete per state statutes. Cost us a lot of money for extended stay hotels and storage while they dragged their feet in getting the house built(and NO concessions at all). Wanted a pool home, none were available, with the huge delay, they could have incorporated it in the build. The sales person was always "we can't do that" Very poor customer service. The construction manager was great and the only bright spot in this transaction.

This is the worst concrete job we have ever had on a new home. When we closed on this house we addressed the crack on the top of our driveway to the supervisor he said he would put another cut into the concrete where the crack is and just made it look worse. We have contacted several contractors and they even said this is the worse concrete job they have ever saw. In time that crack will just keep chipping away they said which it already is and we only have been closed for less than 2 months. I tried to put a warranty call in and they said they would open a case I had to call twice because they said someone would contact me within 24 hours. I waited no response so that is why I called again. Then all the sudden I get an email from the supervisor saying the job was completed and that the concrete was poured again. That was not true at all he did not do anything. I put another call in and asked if they could have the supervisor please call my husband and I even text him and asked him to call and nothing no response at all. Few days later he text me said his concrete guys would be out the following week and patch. I went out to driveway and of course nothing was done to top of driveway but bottom of driveway well all I can say is what a joke. All they did was put a bunch of rocks and literally a slap of concrete which they did the same thing when we closed and it chipped out and so will this one. Our front porch looks like a porch that has been there for like 30 years. Very ruff texture stains all thru it and who knows what else they did to it. Now we have to pay someone to fix their stuff they should of done right to begin with. They seem to worry about the quantity instead of quality. Also the yard was never graded right very lumpy I can't even walk on the side of my house without almost falling. Elevation was never done correctly. Standing water in between our house and neighbors. For the money we paid for this house very disappointed that I now have to spend extra money for to fix their problems because they hire such cheap help. ... More

I had a bad experience with Lennar throughout the construction process and even after completing the house construction. Construction manager was terrible, he does not care about what you are saying, even he does not listen to you. Whatever you say he simply says that is what it is. I wanted to go for the prepurchase inspection and asked the construction manager several times that was everything ready, he said yes every time but, on the inspection, day we noticed water meter did not get installed and house was messy everywhere, toilets were messy I concerned about it several times, but construction manager did not even care. The grading and house quality is very poor. They rushed me to find the cosmetic and other issue in the house within an hour. They don't let you to put blue tape as well. Overall, I had a terrible experience with this builder. ... More

Sub standard materials after 1 year I see everything going to hoa. All new town homes and every building siding is falling off. Right not kidding. Road at end of street is caving in. Take a look at sawgrass and see. We’re still waiting for our refrigerator and dishwasher to be repairs for one month now.

This has been a nightmare. I moved my whole life across country only to have non stop repairs, I have to fight for on a daily basis. The quality and workmanship is non existence. Cheap and shotty work. I have spent more money of my own to correct all my issues. I would not recommend this builder. You have to stay on everyone as warranty does not respond. I had to go hirer up and threaten social media just to get some repairs handled. All I do is cry anymore. I made a HUGE mistake buying a Lennar home.

So many issues to fix. They forced me to close on the unit even though it wasn’t ready! Lennar kept my money since November!! The closing took place in February! I still have open tickets that haven’t been resolved. Not happy. Plus I was promised pools, restaurant, gym. Nothing had been built !! No Pool for us to use and it’s summer already. Terrible. Of course we are pushing full Maintenance:

The quality of materials and workmanship is sub-standard at best. Lennar houses are slapped together in an assembly line manner. There are no changes allowed of any sort. Our salesman flat out lied throughout the process. Once we got close to closing we finally were able to meet the construction manager. She has no knowledge of construction. She just knows what she's told by her bosses. There are so many issues to be fixed of which they rely on the warranty dept. So far the warranty dept has been good but it's alot of emails and scheduling for people to be in our house. I highly recommend everyone to save yourselves and stay away from Lennar. ... More

Lennar has slight improvement in overall quality. However, it's still not meet customer's satisfaction. Responsiveness and coordination are still a big issues. Property orientation and closing arrangements are very confusing and not considering customer's need. Time response is extremely slow and sometimes not even replying customer's questions.

I felt rushed to move in, so that Lennar can show a completed sale despite the home was rushed. The home also had materials and parts removed to finish other homes in the series and when the contractors replaced parts back the quality control was compromised with re installation. Should have informed my lawyer to get involved with write contingencies before I sign off the walk thru. Felt like things were purposely hidden. should have never signed off in good faith things would be addressed. felt duped and lied too. Now moved in close to two months in and don’t feel comfortable inside my home. cannot even enjoy since the cabinets have missing hardware missed drilled holes, compromised installation, no quality control and tile has stains that were never buffed out. Our Lennar customer service rep is ok but the manager or foreman is a complete lack there of and never double checked worked. ... More

I would never in my life recommend buying a home with Lennar to my worst enemy. From the sales rep, Orin, being so uniformative and having horrible communication. I actually lost out on the same house I purchased that couldve been $20,000 less but in the middle of signing and trying to pay earnest money Orin stopped responding and we lost the house. I've never even met the "man" in person. We were never told about the ONLY 20ft of grass and found out on our final walk through with no option to add more. Next headache I suffered was Natasha W in the loan or mortgage side. Absolutely repulsive behavior by yelling at my fiance on the phone with our realtor also on the phone. Natasha and Orin made this experience a 1/10 solely by themselves. But if we had to add more I would also tell you how reckless, careless, and lazy, the construction crew is. Our house was near completion and we found cigarettes all throughout our (pretty much finished) home. Beer bottles in the bath tub. Holes busted in the walls. Putty smeared on the livingroom windows. And yes we have photos of all of this and we did send them into the construction manager and it took a few times of us complaining and explaining that this is our home and we deserve to have a little respect shown. This was the absolute worst experience I could have ever imagined how a first time home buying would be. We have so many friends that love this neighborhood and were looking to buy in guadalupe heights and we turned them away to save them headache heartache and misery. The only "good" people I can say is our Realtor Allison, Jose who did our walk though and sweet Wes for being so kind and understanding even when he didn't know what to do. ... More

It is obvious that Lennar is rushing to close their units and get the payment as soon as possible. Most condos are released with many deficiencies. At first the builder crew was responsive in attending some major finishing issues but after 3 months since closing they dont even answer calls or reply to messages. Very disappointing

Too many issue overlooked. I don’t really know why they have a construction manager if that person is not going to supervise. Here is the list of some of the issues we had the first 2-4 weeks after closing. Gas leak, broken septic tank, electrical issues, Dishwasher was broken during installation (it leaks) really poor drywall finish where you see all joints, poor workmanship for all finishes. Honestly this does NOT feel like a new home. It’s been a headache from day one. In my opinion Lennar is like a fast food restaurant. I will never recommend lennar!!!!!

I would advise people look to other builders. Lennar is a joke, the salesman destroyed any hope I had and refused to meet us. When we closed I basically demanded he not show up to hand us our keys. The construction manager is nice as hell and very responsible but always running around having to put out fires from the crappy work these subcontractors do! If you see a Lennar sign… keep driving! Don’t stop and look and end up loving the area and home… because dealing with these clowns is not worth it.

I closed on my home in Feb 2023. Prior to closing, I found items in one of the closets. This is a new build, no one should have left anything in one of my closets! A few weeks later, I had a sewer backup in my half bath that saturated half of my livingroom. The issue was baby wipes that were flushed. When I took photos of the items in my closet, there was a pack of baby wipes with the items. This happened over a month ago and I'm STILL trying to get this situation taken care of. That's just one issue....it takes forever to get things done (punchlist) that were supposed to be completed prior to closing. I have a countertop in my kitchen that has a huge imperfection in the granite that they will not replace. My home was supposed to have glass not a shower rod in the master bath. One of the sinks in the master bath has a crack from the drain to the granite countertop. I can go on and on, about this nightmare. This is my first home and I'm full of regrets!! Haven't lived in the home for a full month yet and is already wanting to sale it! I paid a lot of money for this home and it was built with scraps by unskilled workers! Don't do it!!!! If you do end up so desperate that you purchase a Lennar Home, take photos of EVERYTHING! ... More

The whole experience with Lennar has been a nightmare. Dealing with the construction manager and his boss was a horrible experience. On the first walk through we used 2 rolls of blue tape for the discrepancies. Then things went downhill from there! The tile was messed up in both bathrooms shower areas, with a long list of other issues. Then 10 days later, I went back to do the walk through to close on the house and there had not been 1 thing done to correct the issues. There was drywall issues, paint issues, concrete issues, then paint issues on the outside of the house, roof issues, then lawn issues where they had to replace the entire lawn because no one watered the lawn. Then they were wanting me to close on the house with all the issues not being resolved. They had 3 people pressuring me to sign off on the house, which I would not do till all the issues were resolved. Which now after living there I have received a $1,700 water bill, with another $1,100 - $1,400 water bill the following month. All because Lennar hooked my Irrigation System to the main water meter and did not hook it up to the reclaimed water meter. So, the Irrigation system got billed for the water and then the sewage. I had the Zephyrhills water company come out, and he showed me that I have had a reclaim water meter but it was never hooked up to the irrigation system. Now, dealing with the Lennar warranty people are non-responsive to this urgent issue of a $1,700 water bill that even the water company said was Lennar’s responsibility. Lennar people make all these promises and then they never follow through with any commitments. This is the Lennar homes in Abbott Square neighborhood. So, at this point I would NEVER buy another house from Lennar Homes. Buy at your own risk, and inspect and double check everything before you close! ... More

The first wind storm the shingles are flying off the roof. The refrigerator that came with the house has a box cutter gash down the handle two big scratches on the left side on the right side. It doesn’t make ice and it sounds like it’s a car parked outside of my house all night. Lenar says they are not responsible and Frigidaire says they’re not responsible. The house came with ring security system. All of it installed upside down on every door. The window coverings put up very poorly. Someone can see in my bathroom window easily. The garage door has a dent and it does not lock.Sad

During our closing day we walked in on painters touching up spots. The new home experience was completely taken away from us and nothing was done to make it more memorable. Most recently, as we started planing our basement work to finish our basement we realized that the water heater was placed just in a random spot that takes away square footage from the future bedroom. The reps told me because the house came with an unfinished basement the water heater can get placed wherever . It would be nice to have the water heater moved or be compensated for losing square footage.

Do NOT buy from Lennar!

Lennar needs to better responding to issues post move in. Person in charge of reviewing work completed by the trades need additional training. Many issues that were to be resolved after our move in are still not addressed. Have notified people in the front office, two guys that worked with the walk through and have submitted on line requests.

Very bad I have no word to explain!!!

Our overall experience was very disappointing. The contractors did very sloppy work. From the paint droppings all over the floor, to uneven handles on every kitchen cabinet, every outlet and switch cover crooked, broken pavers around pool. Uneven lawn with dead sod, irrigation system not approved by HOA. Uneven seam on granite counter top and the cheapest home appliances they could find. Lennar warranty service has only addressed 25% of our complaints and others work orders have been ignored.

Complete nightmare. From finance to HOA to builder response. We will tell all to never buy lennar

from the sales person to the closing table; not what is expected lies and excuses... you most love the walkthrough before closing and see items hold by tape... 3 weeks after closing and items weren't fix.
