Lennar Reviews

From sales, to mortage, to title, the experience was among the worst ever. These guys are spread thin and delivering below average quality across the board!

From the start the person we connected with we had poor communications with she never returned or answered calls. This also goes for the loan agent Trisha Ayala was TERRIBLE. The loan processers were all TERRIBLE. Very poor communication and not trust worthy not honest. Would never recommend them or to anyone wanting to buy a house.

not my first rodeo, by far the worse experience in the history of purchasing. home was actually not completed when we moved in. CO provided, not sure why. Would NEVER recommend. just absolutely horrible. NOT going to include any of the names, first or last since noone has bothered resolving issues that i've experienced. ONLY person that has responded after finally having access to her is Suzanne Witty. She is the only assett here. everyone else, doing more to damage then good to LENNAR.

My wife and I decided to buy a Lennar home. We decided to wait 3 months for the house to be completed. During this process we were told that everything on the inside of the house would be completed by closing. When we had our celebration day, it was far from a celebration. There were many items on the inside of the house that were not completed as promised. There seem to be very poor communication between that sales rep and construction rep. Our construction rep did not even know the proper closing date. We have now lived in our house for about 50 days and still can not get answers on when things will be done. The construction rep just tells us that we should get a call or email to schedule it. When we have had work done, it has been less then professional. We have had a family bring their kids to do work on our house multiple times. It was very low quality work. It would be very difficult to do professional work when 4 kids ages 1-12 are at work with you. It was very sad for me to see. It is not fair for us as homeowners and the workers either. The workers not only did bad work, but they also splattered paint all over and did not clean it up. When I tried to communicate with them, they told me they do not speak English. It has been so frustrating trying to get our house completed. We paid a lot of money for a new house and are not getting the professional work and coordination we paid for. We are having to schedule things around our schedule or miss work to get our house finished. Had I of known this would be the case, we would have considered other options. Had they have been honest with us about the process, we could have prepared differently for what was to come. I would not recommend Lennar at this point. Maybe that will change when my house is completed, but I am sure. ... More

the quality of home is not up to the mark, closing was rush. There are many things that are not fixed, done, or ready upon the closing of the homes. After moving in, a lot of issues were found and took almost a month to fix most of things.

Throughout the purchase process I was told things by the Lennar realtor that were later found out to be straight lies. They told me that all the supply’s were secured and the only issue would be labor. My house was then delayed for 10 months with no real explanation. But I’m pretty sure it was delayed to get smaller houses done to meet Lennar’s quota for their stock value. The walk thru got delayed until the day of close even though I was repeatedly told how detailed their quality checks were flawless nothing was addressed before closing. The washer and dryer were not even fully hooked up. The solar panels that were supposed to be installed were not installed until about a month after I moved in and they are still not active. The HVAC system is the minimum size required by law and cannot handle more than 90 degrees, which isn’t much help in the Florida sun. There is no ownership on the Lennar side for these issues and when they are resolved, they are resolved with minimal effort causing other issues in the process. Overall this was a horrible experience and I didn’t even get into the mortgage part of the experience. ... More

I did my walkthrough a week before my closing day May 25 nothing of the list to got fixed. Cabinets unfinished not install still waiting next appointment is July 18 hoping they can do the job. Garage door is bent, they fix the rails but the door still bent. Electric problems got fix July 5 Plumbler finally fix July 7. A “new washer” never work so I have to call the warranty since i move there without washer because still waiting for Frigidaire and work with their rapid company and no parts, anyway the machine suppose to work was include with the buy of the townhouse but when I ask if Lennar can change and give a new machine they say no I have to call the warranty company. The machine never work, Lennar provide me no functional machine but I have to resolve the problem . I wired the money 4 days prior the closing because was a requirement I did my part of the arrangement but Lennar wants to sell so fast that is not producing quality houses. When I make the decision to buy from Lennar was because my two brothers bought from Lennar 3 years ago and they have the best of Lennar and now a got the worst. I can keep mentioning things need to be fix but is waist of time with Lennar. ... More

We went and looked at the exact home that we wanted, it looked wonderful. We were told that everything in that house is what we were getting. Wood-like tile, crown molding that you can actually see (we got molding that is about two inches thick, useless waste of money), etc. NOT what we got AT ALL. Our house was supposed to be done in November, then we were told December, & every month that it wasn’t ready, we were told it would be ready the next month, until finally, May rolls around & it was done. There are still holes and dents in the walls, the baseboards are either caked with paint/caulk or have dents in them. We gave a list of things that needed to be fixed to the guy during the walk through. They did a few things & that was it. There are things we told them about during closing & they have yet to contact us about those things. The counters, cabinets & floors were covered in paint from over spray, leaked paint, grout that wasn’t cleaned up properly, etc. It has been two months since we moved in and I’m still cleaning these things. We have a patch of grass missing from our yard because of some leak issue. Not sure if it’s our issue or the neighbors. I will never be buying a house through Lennar again. SLOPPY WORK, LAZY WORK, WRONG OR NO INFORMATION. ... More

Write everything on exception list, do not close if you aint satisfied. Lennar warranty is a mess. Construction managers are worse.

Very Poor, experience, no communication from the Lennar. Had to involve management for every little thing. They did not even care to answer phones on day of closing. I left messages and received a call back after 24 hours, that too after 5 emails cc'ing the management. Lennar Mortgage is most inefficient, Loan officer change rate on you without your knowledge, lie and are dishonest. They cannot answer one intelligent question, and their management is equally dishonest and encourage their unlawful ethics.

The whole experience was terrible. It was supposed to be a happy experience. We paid a lot but yet the quality was sub-par. It was a fight to have them get anything done and things were promised to get done that still haven’t. We will never buy from Lennar again.

Very bad experience home took forever to build at closing needed so many repairs close anyway because Lennar said things would get taken care immediately that’s not the case still waiting very disappointed

This whole experience has been horrible from poor workmanship quality to mistake after mistake. And even worse I am STILL waiting on basic things to be fixed. Lennar customer service is useless and does not care or know anything every time I call them. It takes weeks to get any type of answer about things and then when they come to fix it they break things even more. The only reason I have two complete work orders is because I called myself and advocated.

Very bad experience for all peoples in lennar

At first it was good but after you sign and put money down, takes sales 2-3 days to call back even my realtor could not get a hold of him. The on line paperwork is a joke. The first walk thru was horrible water leaking in the wall and Lennar was just going to leave water in the wall and underneath the flooring. Paint not finished. Just got it fixed on the day of closing. Let’s talk about Lennar contractors damaged my A/C unit outside and when you send a service request in it’s poor response. Front door sagging. Closet door damaged kitchen cabinets coming apart over all just a bad experience . Will not buy a Lennar house again or will I recommend anyone else. I have learned in business that for every one bad it takes multiple goods to forget the bad , that is something Lennar needs to learn, because what Lennar advertised is not what happened ... More

Our home was not delivered on time not anywhere near the date that was told to us when we purchased it. When we did close and moved in we found at least 40 plus items that needed to be addressed which we have submitted tickets for repairs. Our construction manager promised he would deal with them and disappeared then we were given another contact and they disappeared. We have lived in our home for over a month and still do not have mirrors. When you submit tickets for repairs the contractor just shows up without scheduling with us and we have to work we can’t just sit around every day waiting. We have been threatened by Mike B. that he is going to cancel our submitted work tickets because we are not able to be here every day when they show up. These items should have completed before we moved in not after when we have to miss work, I can not be home every day waiting for contractors. Not a sole cares about the situation they all pass the buck and Lennar is just about $ not customer service. Their workmanship is appalling and they should be embarrassed. ... More

Lennar's customer service is absolutely horrible. The responsiveness to customer issues is non-existent and no one seems to care that the home you are moving in to could be your place of living for the next 20 years or so. They seem more concerned with getting you closed and signed, your money in their hands then they stop responding to you. Slight issues are lumped in with major shortfalls in the construction and their response is, "it could take up to 90 days to resolve your issues". Avoid this developer if at all possible, and if you do buy a home from them ensure you are able to stop by the construction site often enough to validate the work being done by their sub-contractors. My inspection was done by a Lennar provided inspector and the final walk-through consisted of the Lennar representative attempting to rush us through the house as she had "other homes to walk-through with other buyers". ...

Worst buying experience I have ever had. Pressured to do walk thru then nothing on the list from walk thru was completed by closing. 45 days after closing and light fixtures are still on back order, roof tiles broken, and doorbell doesn't work. only in the last 24 hrs has anybody tried to help. Walls are not straight, and paint is one coat of the cheapest paint on the market. Job site was full of trash for entire build and had to personally remove trash behind cabinets and in walls before being inclosed.

These is our second time buying a home and the experience with Lennar is awful. No one respond in a timely manner to any situation. Home was close with lots of open items that I need to follow up week and no one can confirm when they are going to get fix. The right hand does not know what the left hand does. The quality of equipment and construction do not match the price. Every time I call for follow up have to go over what is needed, they do keep track of customer situations or items. You ticket/open items is like a hot potato because no one is accountable to get the issue resolved they will ask to call someone else or just don't reply. I would recommend people to stay away from Lennar so they can save a lots of tears and nightmares. Lennar is the worst. ... More

My home is a disaster. I have two different types of baseboards throughout the house (some round, some square), paint on the carpet in every room; almost every cabinet is warped or damaged; the doors are damaged, the mirrors are damaged, and the outside front door doesn't even have trim; there is sealer spilled and mixed in with the grout in the shower, broken tiles, carpet is cut too short and does not even reach the corner in the loft hallway; my furnace is broken and was repaired halfway...this is just to name a few issues and the original warrant rep told me to "lower my expectations" during my walkthrough. I have been here five months and very few things have been addressed due to so many changes in roles and lack of organization. ... More

This is our 2nd new home buying experience and Lennar is BY FAR the worst builder we have ever dealt with. The quality of work is absolutely atrocious, there's no pride behind their workmanship. They try to save a dollar where they can, which means your home will not have a DOORBELL, a peephole or a microwave. The list could go on for a long time but these are a few examples of just how low they go. The buying process was an absolute nightmare and after talking to neighbors, we're far from the only ones with this experience. I would be embarrassed to work for them and several representatives were. ... More

This experiencing of buying a home with Lennar, and now living in the product for a month is nothing but a huge disappointment. As a Realtor of over 18 years, who has sold to my customers a lot of Lennar products over the years, this experience of buying my own has been awful and I would never suggest to anyone to purchase a product from them. The build quality is crap compared to how they use to build 15 years ago, their service is awful, they also are cheap and try and force you to use more companies they own. So many things wrong that my complaints are being filed with the dept of commerce, and the board of realtors. they make the buyer pay state deed tax, this is so crooked and wrong, they also make the buyer escrow for work they don't have complete, another thing that is crooked and wrong. they also don't complete any work on time.. we closed in May were told would have a yard by end of June and it's not July 5 and they have not even started this work.. in which until it is complete my money is held in escrow because this unethical lousy company does business like this. They are money driven and don't care about the consumer, they build cheap crap and I dislike them more than any builder I've ever dealt with.. I will bash them over and over unless they change and try and make things right for my family. they also are cheap that they don't even pay a realtor a true commission and their lame closing gift you you is some blanket and water bottle that we tossed in the thrash. I can't express how much they anger me and I think they should be sued and put out of business. ... More

I recently completed a townhouse and they've yet to address any issues with this build. The people involved have yet to come back and address any issues and there are some major issues wrong.

Horrible buying experience. The house got delayed for 6 months from the expected closed date. I am still working with the builder for fixing all the issues two months after closer.

Terrible experience moving in. I will never buy from Lennar or reccomend to anyone after this horrifying experience.
