Lennar Reviews

Lennar is a shady company that builds cheap houses and doesn't stand behind it's work. I have had so many issues with this home. Which have still not all been addressed. Lennar Lending is a joke and almost caused me to be homeless after they were going against Home Lending laws. Horrible experience. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

My experience with Lennar has been more like a nightmare. But ask anyone in our new development, and they will say the same thing. First, they have no regard for your closing date. They pushed us out 4 months resulting in a lease back then short-term costing us an additional $10,000 with storage fees. The quality of the work is as bad as it gets. Every trade is subbed out and no one cares as long as they meet their quota: Doors don't shut, windows don't close, siding is falling, trim molding does not line up, caulk everywhere, crappy paint, cheapest carpets, flooring and appliances they can get. Here are the kickers...for my house, they didn't have a garage door to get through final inspection. Our construction supervisor said he found a damaged one that was going to be scrapped. (It was dented and painted red all over the inside) He said he would use the damaged door to get through inspection then replace it a month later with a new door. Two months have come and gone and they are now telling us that they will not replace the door. I had it in writing that they would replace they door. They basically said, "Sorry. Can't help you." To access our street, we must take a private road which Lennar does not own. It was never meant to be a thru street as it was constructed as part of an old golf course over 20 years ago. The street is almost not passible. It is lined on both sides with crater sized potholes, one after another. You are forced to zig zag the entire length of the road to avoid the craters while negotiating oncoming traffic. Lennar will not fix this short road because they don't have to. They Lennar home buying experience has caused me more anxiety, pain and suffering than I could ever imagine. It will do the same for you. ... More

The only positive thing I can say is they have nice floor plans. This has not been a good nor even decent experience. Shoddy workmanship and unethical practices from Lennar.

Couldn't even wipe anything down or clean the floors for us before we moved in. Every single light fixture has dirt in the lens. Spent a lot of money for subpar quality.

This box is too small for me to express all my dissatisfaction

Not a positive experience. Would not recommend Lennar to family and friends based on my bad experience. Note that every neighbor I’ve talk to all expressed the same bad experience.

If at all possible stay away from a Lennar home! Very very very poor quality work, not responsive, and misleading, And if you still decide to buy from Lennar…. you best make sure you hire your own inspector!

Not worth it. terrible experience. Not enough room for full review. Too many issues.

Company agent was not responsive and not helpful at all, Sometimes he was rude. Home came in poor quality material, Ac was not working in some homes, they did not refuse to fix it but they did not send someone so far. Some items were missing , we request it , they took 3 weeks to deliver it. Giving you excuse when you call them. They overpriced their by 6k in order to sell it, which is not legal. but they still charge it otherwise you can refuse to get it.

Constantly finding stuff wrong with my home. Submitted issues for two months and still unresolved. They rushed the close, the house was not livable for the close and they forced us to close. I am unhappy with the quality of workmanship… everything seems rushed and messy.

The walk through was rescheduled several times with the promised that once the final walk through took place everything would be perfect. That was the biggest lie, when we finally did the walk through the house was very dirty. The floors were scratched window broken. The dry wall had nails showing they try covering everything by either putting silicone or spackle. The doors still don’t work and still getting the run around as to who’s going to fix them. The day we were schedule to closed we were told by the Lennar financing that the home was appraised $20 K from what we pay for. We really expected for this process to be a smooth but it was the opposite. We will not be recommending Lennar to none of our friends or relatives. ... More

Now that we are in our home, we are discovering poor quality throughout our entire home.

The sales team to start is beyond wonderful until you sign that contract, then you become a number. You better shut up and not make them work either, otherwise they will demean and demoralize you in hope that they can tear up the contract and sell it at a higher price. The workmanship is a joke. The house is literally falling apart left and right and warranty claims that I have put in in October still aren’t fixed at the end of January. I’ll be making street signs with all of my warranty issues that will remain in my front yard for all potential buyers to see until all issues are fixed. Thank you Lennar for building the biggest joke of a house! ... More

I had an incredibly awful experience with the customer service of Lennar. The company did not work in a timely fashion for necessary community approvals, but did not disclose this until the evening prior to closing. Days with an unknown closing date followed with Lennar completely lacking in communication, concern that my household goods were already on their way from across the country, and telling me on multiple occasions that I should be calling the government agency to get the approval faster. It was the worst experience I have ever had (by far, literally don't have anything else to compare it to) and I will never buy from Lennar again. In fact, I was ready to cancel my contract, losing thousands of dollars, just because of how bad the experience was. The only reason I didn't was because my child had already started school in the area and there was no other housing available at that time without having to transfer my child to another school. Don't do it if you don't want a miserable experience! ... More

After living in the home for a week, you start to notice the cheap materials use and terrible workmanship. All of our knobs had tiny paint splatter, the carpet wasn't vacuumed - not even once (we have a toddler running around), dried paint can be found throughout the home, nails still protruding out through the carpet to name a few issues. Overall terrible experience, we felt rushed through our new home orientation and caught what we can.

Terrible workmanship, dishonest, difficult to get things done. We closed in November and are still dealing with items that have not been completed.

My experience with Lennar, it's been a nightmare to say the least from the beginning to the end. My first walk through was a disaster, no electricity and the house looked like been hit by a hurricane, 2nd walk through was not much better house was dirty patches on walls, carpet had paint and dry wall stains everywhere, doors and trims weren't finish, tiles in both showers needed to be replace, cabinets and pantry were missing shelves, all 3 pocket doors needed to be replaced and the list goes on. 4 months after closing we are still waiting for all this to be completed. It was and still been a very frustrating and disappointing process. If I could go back I would never purchase a home with Lennar and for sure never will again ... More

Bad experience overall. I was looking forward to my new home, and unfortunately I was faced with many disappointments.

Lennar does, under no circumstances, care about its buyers. They knowingly (construction manager admitted it) cut corners to get homes done in time. They then fail repeatedly to schedule contractors to fix the cut corners. Sales is an entirely different nightmare.

I moved into a home with poor workmanship (from a crack in the tub, cracks throughout entire house related to paint near stairs and crown molding, hole in closet and bedroom window, hole in kitchen cabinet, cabinet scuffs and scratches, evenly cut floor tile in kitchen, poor brick work, drywall in yard, damage to walls near butler pantry and behind kitchen exhaust, poorly painted bathroom mirror, poor tile work in master bath, etc.). To make matters worst, customer service is absolutely horrible!! There is no acknowledgment, follow up, or any level of good service provided by my appointed contact. He is the worst person I’ve ever worked with, and he is not held accountable. I moved into my house on November 30 and reported issues beginning December 6. My issues still exist. ... More

Finnished home is nothing like the model homes, from staged lamps in living rooms with cords hidden under rugs were no outlets are provided, to trim tile in showers that isn’t put in actual homes. Overall quality is terrible, Door openings uneven, lights not centered, outlets in wrong places, internet wiring frayed in walls/connectors loose, appliances not correctly hooked up, light switches not working, yard with construction debris all over, landscaping a mess!

I understand the labor and material shortage due to COVID but want get the new home completed even with delay. However, the new home has many items not finished such as the garage door. We have been forced to accept new house with many uncompleted things and defects. We have given Lennar construction supervisor a list of things need be improved but has nothing done so far.

Don’t purchase a new house because they put them up too fast with many errors. The homes are not sealed and protected from outside rodents. Let wide open while being built and rodents nest in these new home and the builders deny resolving the issue.

Never met my sales guy. Wasted money on a flight after getting direction from the sales guy. The loan office gave poor customer service. I understand they are under pressure for year end closing but... not acceptable. Quality of the home build is below standards. Based on my overall experience I will never purchase Lennar

Terrible experience. Be very careful with Lennar
