Lennar Reviews

Very bad experience, I have called and even went to the office and no response with the things that need fixing, and we are still waiting for someone to respond to us. Many things needed to fix on the first walk through. Still waiting for it to be fix. And now we have other things to get fix, No response at all. I would not want anyone to go through this.

Unfortunately my agent did not check in with me regularly to give me updates. My closing date was pushed back 5 times. The last 2 times I was notified in less than 48 hours. The delays turned out not to be due to the supply chain issues but instead Lennar dropped the ball with city permits and permits for my gas meter. I was given the excuse that they lost construction staff in my neighborhood. When I moved in the "deep clean" was not done and several items needed work. It took about 3-4 weeks to resolve. Unfortunately for my subdivision it seemed as though no one was communicating with each other. It wasn't the happy new home ownership experience that I SHOULD have had. ... More

Signing in July for a house that would be ready in November, that would then be delayed month by month until May. How can you think you can finish a house in 4 months if it’s going to take you 10? But when it’s finally done, we were given zero flexibility in closing day. We had to be flexible for all this time and Lennar gave us nothing at all, even threatened us with a 500$ per day fine! Communication during construction and even sales was very poor and even now past closing is minimal. If Lennar is the last builder on earth, I’ll buy existing homes..

Construction delays which were not communicated prior to buying the house. Very poor communication throughout the process. House built with poor workmanship standards. And response from Construction Manager was it is acceptable per Lennar standards. I didn't knew that lennar had such low standards. Not happy with at all. Even now response is very poor if I open any ticket. And for bigger issues Lennar asked me to directly contact vendors. So accountability at all. And issues were present even before I moved into this house. I can go on and on .... If lennar really care about these reviews, please reach out to me. Someone with authority would be appreciated. ... More

Terrible responses to work we need done. Had my air conditioner go out in the first month and had to called around to 5 different people before someone would help me. Made a request on the Lennar service page to get my kitchen island fixed and am still Waiting for it. There are staples popping up thru the carpet all thru the house. Not impressed with the quality or the service after. Would never buy another Lennar house or ever recommend it to anyone. Very dissatisfied

The person who inspected each job after it's finished let most of the sloppy job go and passed it on to us. So many things were not met the specification or quality and they let it go. This is the first time I built a new house and I could not believe i will have this type of experience. Personally I don't think it's Lennar fault, it's the person who is in charge of final inspection of each job/items that let it go. If I'm in charge of inspection this house or my house I would tell the contractor to do a better job or redo the job until it's good. I don't have anything good to say about the person who was in charge of inspection of my house...very very very bad. This person should not be working for a Big Name Like Lennar. Very disappointed. ... More

Very bad all departments.

I never expected the following from the Lennar a reputed builder! 1. We were told that the house will be closed by October-November of 2021. But the house was closed on April 28, 2022. The 6 months delay. 2. The house was not ready at the time of closing. We were forced to close the home on closing day since me moved from out of state. The new closing date would have been 1-2 months later. 3. The quality of workmanship is poor with lots of issues. 4. Lennar still have to fix the issues with drywall, electric wiring, garage door, kitchen cabinets, carpet, painting, plumbing etc. 5. Due to delay in closing, our home mortgage interest was increased by 2.25% which increased our monthly mortgage payments. 6. Except James the sales person, no one responded to our phone calls and messages in timely manner. I hope Lennar would compensate us for all the pain and embarrassment we are going through. ... More

In the four homes we have had built in our lifetimes, this was the worst experience from start to finish with having a new home built. It took over 15 months to complete the home. This was a subdivision 1 level 1850sf cookie cutter home nothing custom. It became very apparent that Lennar was overcommitted and had to much WIP (work in progress) open which basically paralyzed productivity. For the entire duration, we had to be the ones to prod and ask for updates, which were vague and usually a bunch of excuses. Lennar has many issues but it’s biggest issue is zero ownership of anything. I’ve never in my career seen so much lack of ownership and quick to blame others and not just address/correct the issue. When it was finally getting close to the finish line after blowing four “it will be done in a month” guesstimates, we were finally told that the home is ready for walk through. We flew across the US for the walkthrough only to be insulted by it being completely undone and trashed. We arrived and the homes doors and windows were all wide open to the elements. It was dirty and filthy throughout. Missing doors and damage to the finishes everywhere. It was a complete waste of our time and money to even come down. We ended up closing about 3 weeks later and although they did a couple things, when we moved in the floors were filthy and had caulk and paint all over them. Tile floors had chips and scratches, the trim was chipped and dented, doors had holes in them, closet doors were not even hung just leaning against the walls in the halls, the garage floor was dirty and had to be sprayed down due to a blue chemical on the floor, the garbage disposal was not connected but rather a live wire where the switch would be was exposed under the sink. Basically we bought a used resale home and not a new home. There’s no way you could call this a new home when you look at the finish work…it is so dented and beat up it looks like a lived in 10-20 year old home. Then to top it all off the first day of move in we had a roof leak. This was the first time we got to see Lennar quickly jump into action. They came out and started with dry out equipment and tarped the roof. After about 4 days of dry out, which was very loud by the way, they had the roofing contractor come and fix the leak. Turns out the leak was due to shoddy waterproofing work at the ridge vent, after talking with the remediation folks and neighbors this seems to be a common everyday thing….no biggie for Lennar. Again not very new house Feeling. Two months into owning the home, Lennar is actioning the items on our initial 25+ item list, which my expectations are so low of Lennar that I’m actually pleasantly surprised that they are jumping into trying to address the issues. Still have a nice big ceiling stain in the home along with missing trim from the roof leak, which again doesn’t make you feel like you bought a new home, but hopefully in the coming weeks they will fix and hopefully they fix it like new and not just more amateur hour finish work workmanship. If I were consulting Lennar, and they should pay me for this consult, I would tell them their biggest issues are extreme lack of ownership from bottom to top and at every level of management, extremely poorly managed job sites, opening up too much WIP and not being able to effectively and efficiently complete the work, and some of the poorest quality finish work ever, which in the end that’s the biggest thing most of their customers are going to see and judge on. I truly am amazed that this is a publicly traded $12 billion a year in revenue builder. I work for a pathetic $1 billion a year in revenue company and they would never allow this level of incompetence and lack of ownership management. They would fire everyone from bottom to top until the issues were rectified. This is also a company, which serves the electric utility industry, that will send one of their private jets and engineers and equipment if the customer has an issue immediately. They actually care about their customers because as they say, our customers never have to buy from us ever again. I feel like that is a motto Lennar should adopt to attempt to strive to something better than where they are today. ... More

Issues from start to finish. Deadline was off by 6 weeks, major incomplete projects after closing, NO timely responses, several points have to be deducted for quality of craftsmanship and supplies.

Lennar, where to start with you!!!! ABSOLUTELY the worst home buying experience. It literally took my having to locate Greg (Lennar Homebuilding and Land Regional President) via his personal cell phone number while he was at home to understand how someone by the name of Kelli (Director of Sales & Marketing) could be such a heartless, cold, foul individual!?! It wasn’t until this stage in the process we actually had a conversation with someone in Lennar Corp who actually had brain cells, and functional ears. For that, I thank you Greg. You were the first person in Lennar corporate that actually had a heart, listened to what was happening to us (through no fault of our own) and actually took the time to make the situation right. Well Kelli attempted to call me and take credit for the suggested workaround, however it was the workaround that both Greg & I had discussed during our conversation. As for on-site, here at the Gales Creek location in Forest Grove! Starting from Jason, going to Emilio, and ending with Melissa & Allison. These (4) were ABSOUTELY amazing! I feel bad that great people like the (4) I had mentioned above, are stuck “bearing the repercussions” of Kelli’s poor leadership. Her decision making, lack of empathy, and absolutely FOUL communication skills really puts these wonderful employees in a disadvantageous position. I hope these (4) employees are recognized for all their efforts because they were the saving grace in this whole nightmare. I hope I NEVER have to do business with Lennar again for the remainder of our lives. Good riddance, I hope y’all wake up and reassess how y’all treat people. We understand it’s a sellers market, but the people purchasing your homes are still your customers as well. You should somewhat care about their overall experience when it comes to interacting with your company. Oh, btw. As for the quality. We bought a duplex, and I know we have separate walls (I’ve seen it with my own eyes during the construction phase). However on our shared wall area, you can hear everything your neighbor does. I can hear our neighbor snore at night. Make what you will of that as for their “quality” ... More

In the past couple months we’ve lived here the HVAC has broken twice… the oven flips the breaker. The hot water heater leaks. Our POC at Lennar was not helpful- in fact it seemed that she actively tried to schedule our 3rd party inspector to come at incorrect times so we had to reschedule with him, as you can imagine that was expensive. Our other POC on site was wholly unknowledgeable about our home. He had not idea where filters should go for the HVAC, and at one point told us our unit didn’t need filters. That being said. I love the layout of the house, the location and our neighborhood. But this can be found without using Lennar. I would not recommend buying a home with Lennar. ... More

Our house is incomplete and has many workmanships problems. Very poor quality, Tiles needing to be replaced, Cupboard doors and drawers missing, Lennar took ours and gave them to someone else. Been here going on 2 months still no drawers or doors. I would not buy another Lennar home. Quality of material is cheap and needing to stay home daily so people can come to fix things. Construction manager never calls with updates on anything, doesn't even answer his phone. Lennar is good at selling homes, but they are pathetic on building houses. I have given you the marks that you deserve and wish we would not have bought a Lennar home. I would and will tell others to avoid any Lennar built homes and pictures of everything that was and mostly still is wrong and will share them with anyone that was interested in seeing them. I asked to be contacted by someone from corporate not in this little loop in Florida and they also have no time for me. Don't buy a Lennar home unless you want FRUSTRATION. By the way we have a cracked door on our pantry from the screws in it. They will not replace the door they are going to fix it I was told. I know writing this I will get no answers from Lennar. Bottom line people they are great at selling, but they do a very POOR JOB Building them! ... More

We purchased a home a few months ago. With some items not finished, but we could longer be in rental so we’re in a bad situation after our house sat for about 3-4 months with minimal to no work done. We closed 3 months late. We still are living in a house with unfinished items and poor quality workmanship. Then we are constantly flat out lied to through out the entire build process and now trying to get warranty issues addressed. My tubs all have rust rings in them and had them at time of closing. My house wasn’t even cleaned. Windows have paint on them, Mia stains on soffit, concrete work is stained and honestly finished at a bad quality. The product you handed over to me and many people I know on my street is downright awful. You should honestly be ashamed of yourselves and your management and anyone who is a lennar employee. Not only will I never buy another lennar home I will always warn people and I will tell everyone about my experience with your company and how truly awful this experience was and badly built this house is. ...

A lot of quality issues!!! Still not fixed!!!! From sheet rock, paint, wrong doors thru out home! Doors will not close property! Drainage issues! Fixtures falling off wall!!! Closing changed a number of times.

We went with Lennar because we had a great experience in purchasing our last home in SCAL. It was the exact opposite in NV. Yes I get it, we had a rough state of affairs in the country in the past 2 years but the builder should not sacrifice the quality of homes that they produce. Finished product was very disappointing. Felt that Lennar was just interested in making money, build as many homes as fast as they can, sacrificing the quality of homes they’re building. From financing, to getting house keys to customer care was just a bad experience for us.

Lennar Home Mortgage was a waist of my time! Dealing with the incompetence with the loan officer there made the entire process stressful!!

Shotty workmanship - looks like they let drunk people install in my house. Total lack of accountability to resolve issues Excuse after excuse about poor quality Unethical practices including some that are illegal Buy from another builder in the Vegas market. Lennar is building houses quickly and doesn't care about anything but getting your money. Moved in 2 months ago and still dealing with over 35 issues from move in.

Deceptive sales office, poor quality, unresponsive, avoid.

There was absolutely nothing good about the experience with Lennar. Don’t be fooled by having everything from your lender to you insurance under one roof. They are completely inept and unprofessional. Once we moved in we found the quality underwhelming. From crooked windows that make our custom blinds look like crap to the sprinkling system that won’t shut off and or leaks. This experience was horrible and I would never ever recommend Lennar builders.

Worst experience ever. From purchase to resolving issues

This experience was not one I would recommend. After all the trials and tribulations I still had work being done on my home the day I settled and it was like pulling teeth to correct what was identified was wrong. Not from just me but also my paid professional inspector. My upstairs primary bedroom makes popping noises as we walk across the “brand new floor” as does the steps. Feels like I’m in a old home. The workmanship is terrible. The walls are not straight and so are the ceilings. If I could attach photos I would. My guest bathroom had a crack in the tub, the baseboards are not completely covered. I could go on and on. ... More

Awful I moved two months ago and bathrooms did not have towels racks I notified the people in charge and a month later still waiting.

It was very poor and difficult to get answers until the deadline, I felt like I was bothering them when I didn’t understand something.

From the beginning we have had nothing but problems, and the problems just continue. The sales process was the only part that was smooth. Throughout the build process we were continually lied to, mislead, and given empty promises. We had to fight to get things that were promised during the sales pitch. The construction manager regularly gave us the wrong information and just blatantly lied about updates and progress of certain things. The quality of the trades is WAY below substandard and unacceptable. The overall quality of our home is embarrassing. There was no accountability from Lennar on the work being done. Everything was slopped together as quickly as it could be and just absolutely no regard for how the finished product looks. Every possible corner was cut and the unskilled subcontractors performed with just a blatant disregard to details. When the quality of the workmanship was brought up it was met more lies and misinformation. In some cases, they agreed to address it but never followed through. And when it was brought up again as soon as a week later they acted like they have no idea what I was talking about. Every single bit of my new home has a problem and issue. The whole neighborhood has major issues. Since we have moved in, its been nothing but rework, and in most cases the results of rework is even worse than the original issue. They send the same unskilled laborers to “fix” the junk work they did originally. And to no surprise, the work is junk again. There are still outstanding issues from prior to closing that have not been mitigated, and no one wants to listen or address it. The problems range from major (structural/framing, plumbing, exterior siding and brick, concrete) to minor (paint, trim, cabinets, mailbox), it is literally everything in and pertaining to the home. Even the finishings are absolutely terrible. My 5 yr old could have produced a better product. Even at closing, Lennar found a way to screw everything up. The interest rate wasn’t locked in when it should have been, the down payment in the closing paper work was wrong and even the hoa dues built in is wrong. When we questioned the wrong down payment amount in the closing docs, the response was “we will just wire you back the difference.” This company is a joke! Do not waste your money!! Lennar is more concerned with how many homes they can build and how quickly, not how well or complete they can build them. ... More
