Lennar Reviews

Make sure you verify everything before acceptance walk through and final walkthrough. Some of the issues I missed to notice during the walk through later did not get repaired mentioning those are cosmetic issues.

Moved in with a broken dryer, electric outlet wrong voltage, defective switch and floor gap

Very professional and caring team

I have a wonderful buying experience and would do it all over again

Terrible quality control, no finishes were Protected and it showed. I was rushed to close and have an open punchlist ongoing now almost 3 months. Certainly will not be telling anyone over at Lakewood national to move over or tell anyone I know unless they want to accept an overpriced sub par home. I could go on but none if this will make a difference cause you’re only interested in money, not the customer experience or quality. You cannot expect 1 CM to run 10-20 homes and get the same quality. By all means call me and I’ll explain from a general contractor side of things.

ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS BUGGING PEOPLE IF I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT ANYTHING. REAL ESTATE AGENT FROM LENNAR WOULD NEVER ANSWER A PHONE CALL AND USUALLY WOULD TEXT BACK HOURS LATER OR THE NEXT DAY. ESCROW WISE NICK D WAS AMAZING.

They will work with you on any issue. I had the best salesperson

you should have price guarantee or should adjust the offer in a month or so.

Unresponsiveness to questions when in the process of purchasing the home

My experience was and still is a nightmare. I was looking at Townhomes because of a change in my life circumstances. I felt I could manage a Townhome on my own. I qualified for financing through Lennar Mortgage. A salesman by the name of Zach showed me a couple of models. I wanted to proceed with a purchase offer but was concerned my house would not sell because of today’s market. I was told by Zach that if my single family house didn’t sell I would not qualify for financing and would get my $5000.00 deposit back. Zach said I had nothing to worry about because with my income I would never qualify for the two mortgages. My house was on the market for about 7 months. My budget became tight now that I’m on my own so I tried to refinance my existing mortgage with another lender to lower my payments. I was approved to refinance my existing house but the lender was not going to disperse any funds on a house that was actively for sale on the market. My house did not sell. I had to transfer my deposit on the Townhome with Lennar twice because the purchase contract expired every 90 days. I was out of town when my purchase contract expired for the third time and was asked to re sign all the paperwork a third time. Again, I was out of town traveling by car. Zach told me if I didn’t re sign the paperwork his “manager” was going to cancel my contract. I could not complete the documents in the timely manner Zach insisted I complete them. So my contract was cancelled by Lennar. Zach / Lennar will not return my deposit of $5000.00. That’s quite a bit of money to lose because my existing home did not sell and I could not meet the deadline to sign a purchase contract for a third time, while I was out of town. I would never encourage anyone to sign with Lennar unless you want to be financially violated. Now Zach will not return my calls. Pathetic and shameful business arrangements. Zach was the salesman who insisted I put the $5,000.00 down so that Lennar Mortgage would know I was a “serious buyer”. Again pathetic and shameful business practices. ... More

It took four visits to get a plumbing problem fixed. It took over a month to get a broken window replaced that started cracking the first cold day we had. We had an electrical issue. Everything was fixed but it took a lot of time. Drywall mud splashed all over the steps going up the stairs over the garage and in the floor upstairs. Over all happy with the home.

For my first home purchase things went smoothly for the most part. I’m happy. I had a great team.

The home is good - it was one of the first started and completed and it appears that the build is good, at least so far. Lennar Mortgage was frustrating with paperwork errors that shouldn't have occurred and staff who were inept. The Lennar salesperson acted like he didn't care as long as he got a sale. When the home closed, we had to go pick up our keys from a lockbox outside of the sales office. No sales person bothered to show up to physically hand us our keys, which was disrespectful to a customer who spent a lot of money purchasing one of their products.

All around the experience has not been good.

Lennar is awesome. They made the home buying experience quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive. From the initial inspection through closing the Lennar staff was great. I highly recommend them!

AFTER LIVING IN THE HOUSE FOR 2 MONTHS IV NOTICED CRACS ON THE CEILING DRYWAL AND CORNERS IN THE BATHROOM, DOORFRAMES ARE MADE OF PAPER MASS, NOR REAL WOOD AND SHORT SCRESW HOLDING THE DOOR HINGES TO THE FRAME TEND TO FALL OUT WITH THREAD9 HAD 2 OF THOSE INSTANCESWINDOW OPENINGS ARE NOWHERE NEAR TO BE SQUARE, TO A DEGREE WHERE WE COULDNT ORDER WINDOW SHUTTERS WITH THIN MOULDINGS.

The home itself is great. Good build and no issues. However, if you are using Lennar as your finance loan company, I would rate an “F” . No follow up through the process. No responses to questions via email. Extended our move in date a full week, leaving us homeless. My out of pocket expenses for air bnb and storage of our belongings. I will NEVER recommend them as a mortgage company. Worst experience I have ever had.

Better communication and lies.

Lennar who is used to purchase many homes really dropped the ball on this home and make a massive oversight in filing Occupancy Certificate and closed the home. So in essence I closed the home and only 20 days later found out no one can move into the house as the house does not have occupancy certificate. I a not sure if this review will move the needle for Lennar but hope this helps other buyers be more diligent.

Very friendly, helpful and responsive to anything ASAP to everything that was needed

Only been in Brunswick County, NC for a few months. I can not give opinions on build yet when it comes to materials/craftsmanship as I just moved in 3 mos ago. If it stays like this, I'll be very happy. Any small issues we've had, Lennar handled promptly and to our satisfaction. So far very happy. I do believe the price was a bit high but, we wanted the location

I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH LENNAR THE HOMEBUILDER AS WELL AS THE MORTGAGE COMPANY. THEY WERE SO EASY TO WORK WITH AND SO ORGANIZED. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME BUYING A HOME AND THEY MADE IT SO EASY.

The builder Ben did a great job explaining everything and was very professional at all the walks.

Great sales experience at Lennar

This was our second time purchasing a new home, with our first being a few years ago through Shea Homes. Unfortunately, our experience with Lennar has been far less positive in comparison. From the start, communication was inconsistent and frustrating. It often took multiple emails just to get a response, and there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between different members of the Lennar team. We consistently felt like the process was being rushed to the finish line, and unfortunately, that urgency was reflected in the overall quality. At our scheduled home walkthrough, the property was still not ready. We had to rearrange our schedules for a second walkthrough, since the initial walk through didn’t count toward the official inspection. That level of disorganization was disappointing and inconvenient. Since closing, we've already experienced two separate roofing leaks. The explanation was simply “due to high winds and rain.” But frankly, a well-built roof should be designed to withstand normal weather conditions. On top of that, our solar backup battery was incorrectly installed, which caused unnecessarily high SDGE bills. We're still waiting on reimbursement for that mistake. In hindsight, having worked with both builders, Shea Homes has absolutely set the gold standard. Their process, communication, and quality were far superior to what we experienced with Lennar. ...
