Lennar Reviews

Was told by the sales person they’re not making this style of home anymore, when I stated I would wait for similar model in different location. Now I see same model being built I’m different location, for $50K cheaper. House was filthy when I moved in, construction dust on all the window sills. Door to garage doesn’t close all the way. Hole in the ceiling that took a month for someone to finally pick up. Water started leaking through my ceiling 2 weeks into ownership. Now there’s a bigger hole in my ceiling. They’re allegedly taking care of it, I have no communication when contractors are showing up, I have to board my dog and stay in a hotel this week. Told me electrician was coming out yesterday I text my contact what time, no response I had to go to work. Electrician never called me either and apparently I missed them. Awful all the way around, would never buy from this company again, I bought brand new so I wouldn’t have to deal with issues. My new house has more problems than my house back home that was built in the 1970’s. ... More

This has been my worst experience buying a new home. This is my 3rd. I closed the house because the bank told me that a delay will raise the Interest rate. In that moment I was trapped. I moved to a house with no bath vents, loose floor tiles, no windows sills or painting completed, wavy drywalls, and a long etc. after 2 months and a half living here lennar haven’t repaired a single screw. Oh yes, they repaired the main entrance door because I lived there with no door lock for the first 3 days.

We are very disappointed. It’s already been a month after the closing and a lot of works still not done.

Don’t buy Lennar! There is obviously no supervision during construction and if provided no experienced construction managers. Absolutely NO CONCERN FOR QUALITY! They constantly try to fix items that were not installed properly (I.e.) doors, especially exterior doors instead of removing and reinstall properly or replace. It is sad that Lennar accepts the butcher quality of work provided by their sub-contractors. We didn’t get what we paid for! All my neighbors feel the same way!

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Lennar cares only about profits and quality of work, nor customer services/experience. Stay away from Lennar they are a rip-off.

It’s just been more than a month and we have raised 10+ service request already. We entered into our new home and hot water won’t work. Pipe leaked in basement. Cabinet door came off. Switch won’t work. AC stopped working and they said they need 3 weeks to fix it and punished me to suffer in high temperatures inside the home. Would never recommend lennar to anyone.

Worst mistake ever: - Windows that don’t work - Cracks in garage and wall damage behind gutter - Missing downspout on other side of driveway - flimsy doors and locks - Downspout that wasn’t installed in correct location with no splash block - Screwed up sidewalk with cracks - Outdoor spigot that seems to have an internal leak - Mystery water marks on exterior concrete wall -Nail pops - Mystery blue ink on shower floor - non-working sprinklers - water tank in attic, heater in attic (why such an inaccessible location?) -non-existent customer service and banker’s hours - no mail boxes at house - only at the stupid useless clubhouse. Why only 1 location not like four?? - builder failed to disclose they are building a 900 unit apartment building less a half block down my tiny side street?!?!?! - development might be built across street by them too. - no irrigation water system -$2 sprinklers are NOT an irrigation system. - Gas everything? Why such a poor environmental choice? - Dead trees - my neighbor’s tree is dead and it’s not been replaced - crappy appliances ... More

Experience of buying a new home has brought me too many bad experiences to write a good review what was supposed to be a good experience quickly turned into a nightmare due to poor workmanship. Lack of service from Lennar home building team no one ever had answers and never kept promises as to when home was going to be completed issues never address properly

The sales person, construction managers, and closing agent failed to take ownership of their actions and severely lacked in communicating among themselves for a smooth closure. The sales person towards the end shows bad attitude which made our closing experience worst of all. Amateurs! Poor craftsmanship!

Horrible experience, from every aspect of the staff. Sales, loan financing, leadership-all are lacking professional customer service skills. Definitely, I will not recommend Lennar to potential buyers!

Probably the worst consumer buying experience in my life. I have bought many new homes, from many different builders and the lack of professionalism I experienced from this home builder goes beyond description. I'm so over my Lennar home purchase fiascos that I'm just done even mentioning it anymore. I will never.... ever.... ever.... spend my hard earned money on another Lennar Home nor will I ever recommend them to anyone I know or who inquires about my experience with this builder..

Bad customer experience. Without water approval the sod is installed for the home backyard ,no water for the sod for more than month.During TLC review I have raised the concern about the sod dying,lennar said sod will come back.Now it’s 2 to 3 months and the sod is dead,when I go back and raise a request,no response.This happened for many houses . NO response from lennar and very bad customer experience. There are multiple points for the bad customer experience.

Would not recommend. From misleading seller aT lennar to the HOA that is a iso telt unreachable, horrible experience with lennar. Wish I never started anything with them

In the first month after closing we ran into a few issues that couldve been avoided. Repair times tool longer than they should. Communication is not a thing with Lennar. The construction crews like to cut corners when building the homes. Lennar doesn't not fill the backyards with grass, some of ours is only dirt. Cracks in the concrete were immediately noticed after closing. Lennar title gave us the wrong amount for closing costs and almost delayed our closing. Our closing date was pushed back about 3 or 4 different times. Plastic bathroom walls were not pushed together correctly, construction manager basically told me im SOL. Grass that was put down was mostly dead prior to it getting here. Our backyard is constantly soaked with water by our back gate, lennar said we can't do anything to fix it. Our particular house was the 3rd house we tried to buy in a 7 month period. 1st one we decided not to go with a 3bd and go with a 4bd. The second home appraised for less than the sell price of the home. The 3rd house was the exact same floor plan as the second, and 2 houses down. Appraisal came in about 2k over sell price. The 2nd house that appraised for less, Lennar wanted us to come out of pocket 6k more, they were UNWILLING to work with us 1st time home buyers. Lennar added a 11k fee essentially due to where the house was located in the neighborhood, bringing out total from 263k to 274k. Even after the final walk though there were issues that weren't fixed, not the biggest of deals but still. About a month after being in the home, we came to find out we had a major gas leak coming from the back of our stove. The fitting wasn't connected properly on the back. I'm assuming during construction a screw driver was drooped into the plumbing pipe in the guest bathroom. Plumbers had to take out the floor, break the wall, base board and concrete to get to the pipe. Then they cut the pipe, took the screw driver out that was causing backup in our toilet AND bathtub. Took about 3 weeks for someone to fix it after multiple phone calls, texts, and putting in claims. Our attic door was not installed correctly. Attempted to have it fixed twice but still no response to it. Im sure I'm missing more stuff. ... More

I don't know where to begin with this awful journey we had on the home buying process. From lack of communication from the loan processing aspect to the abysmal workmanship done on the house. All I can say is, if you decide to go with Lennar GOOD LUCK AND GET YOUR OWN INSPECTION.

Purchased house was told I would get touch up paint, never received! Three boxes to replacement tiles, was told to text Nolan did on several occasions never received. Doors painted with semi gloss, touched up with flat paint. We have paint on carpets in bedrooms Just horrible

From the time we walked into the sales at the model home, our bad experience started. There was nobody there to answer your questions, you have to schedule an appointment to see a sales agent We felt like we have to beg just to schedule an appointment. He took us to a lot and we were impressed with the view the lot has to offer and which made us buy the property. But he did not inform us that a block wall was going to be built and will block the view he was highlighting about this lot. Lennar mortgage offered $6000.00 towards the closing cost, but opt not to go with them. The mortgage officer would not respond to my calls and emails! The delay in construction is not Lennar's fault but their lack of empathy for the buyers is. Our concierge did not inform us of the change of dates of closing which were a lot, I would find this out from our bank! After finally moving in, the sloppiness of the work is all over the house, especially the paint job. There is a lot more to say but I think this is enough. ... More

Overall the experience of this home was extremely disappointing and frustrating. The house was not clean and welcoming when entering a brand new home due to the following discoveries after closing: Damages to the walls, paint left on the floor, grout left on the titles, thermal expansion tank installed incorrectly twice, Green tape left on all of the bedroom doors, blue and green tape peeled off and left on the floor & carpets.Tire marks left on garage floor. the home was not cleaned and prep as promised by Lennar for closing. Many items that were identified during the walkthrough were not addressed. Multiple tickets had to be submitted to correct these issues. Even though some tickets were completed there are still pending tickets to complete many of the items listed above. Just recently discovered construction debris behind kitchen stove, the wall behind the stove still have writing on it from the construction and was not repainted along with the rest of the house, the base board mounding was left incomplete. Closet doors for three of the bedrooms needed to be readjusted, because they were poorly installed. Poor quality of the home, to have the peephole removed from the front door, although the homes were provided with the Ring security system, it would have been better served for safety reason to keep the peephole in the doors considering it’s human nature to look through peephole first before opening your door, instead of having to grab an electronic device to see who is at the door every single time. The time and money used to remove this feature from all doors could have been better spent taking care off some of the key items to completing the construction of the home properly. ... More

Don’t sign off on the day of your walk though. If there are issues to be fixed have them fix it before you sign off. I’m 7 months in an still waiting for them to fix a kitchen drawer that was blue taped the day off walk thru. Costumer service rep dose not care

Terrible experience. Cheapest products. All the way to closing. Never buying a lennar home again.

Till Today - 2nd Aug'22, The builder has not completed the work which they supposed to complete. It's a worst experience we all still have with Lennar. Because of you guys on broken sprinkler system.. I paid about $350 just for water. And have no proper response at all.

Not only was my house incomplete, but the work that was done was very poor quality. I was told workers would be back to complete the construction and never showed. My roof leaked and ruined a bedroom the second night I was here. I’m still trying to get repairs a month later. Absolutely horrible experience so far!!!!!

Our family's experience with Lennar, unfortunately, has been TERRIBLE. Lennar has completely ridden a hot market wave to take advantage of buyers and gotten away with poor quality finishing and broken promises. The home buying experience. We bought a home in Apex that was completed and closed almost 6 months after original closing date. When talking to the sales team given all the implications this delay had on our family, instead of listening, acknowledging impact of the delay, they took cero responsibility and blamed suppliers for their broken commitments. And yes, we understand the supply chain crisis impacted everyone, but knowing this was a critical time, with 2 years of pandemic to have adjusted to the crisis, Lennar did very little to stay ahead of the challenges. Very poor planning and professionalism to handle complexity. In our convo with the sales manager (John), a guy completely clueless, after the convo I really kept asking my wife how is he even qualified for the job. John agreed to follow up on a few points we had sincerely expected they could support, and instead of responding to these points on time how you would expect, almost a month later he responds to them, after multiple follow ups, and his response practically quotes the contract and how they are in no obligation to meet our request. He was right, but my point is, they didn't even try, ignoring and maybe even believing they had no responsibility. clueless. And this is not all, and probably an error we committed, but still something Lennar Sales team should have advised on. There is a sight triangle that goes through our property. As a first time buyer I didn't even know this was a thing, but the issue was, it was never really advised. Their sales team, could have taken a moment to inform this was the case and its implications, but it was completely omitted from their sales pitch. Closing At closing, the home was far from ready. They made a list of promises of things to fix. And it's been 2 months now and the list has not been completed. We've had to contest everything, because they don't show a genuine interest in helping and completing the job. If there was anything agreed upon by their construction manager, be assured that the post-sales team doesn't really care. They'll want you to have evidence because their word doesn't really count. Of course we should have known this, and even with evidence it's been challenging to get them to accept responsibility over their commitments. The home We've been shocked by the poor quality in terms of finishing for a single family home in Apex done by Lennar. They really don't care and expect their customers to simply be ok with it because the market favors the builder. Going up the stairs in our home, if you see underneath the rail, which you can if you are going up the stairs, the job seems done by children that are playing arts and crafts and not by professionals. The holes done for the rails are all uneven, no consistency, really done favoring speed vs a job well done. I've sent them pictures of how it should be and they said they could not do it that way, so you can't do it right? Overall, having the opportunity again, or hypothetically turning back time, I would never buy a house with Lennar. ... More

I was asked to close on the house that was not ready, i was told that everything would be fixed within a couple days however after two months the house is still not ready as multiple issues reminds unsolved and no one at Lennar homes will give me a straight answer or timeline.

Quality of workmanship & materials are sub par
