Lennar Reviews

I would recommend to lenar to any that is looking to buy

I closed on my house in May of 2019, and I have had issues with the workmanship of the building. The punch list that was submitted isn't even half done and it is now November 21 2019. Be aware of the lack of urgency once you close.

My wife and I are enjoying our new home. After 6 months of living in it there are a number of things that could have been done better during the construction phase to lower the amount of repair tickets we have opened. Installing damaged trim for example could have been noticed up front. Door frames not square for another. Sometimes doing it right the first time lowers your overall expenses. The service after the fact by our customer service rep has been fantastic. The energy efficiency of the home through the hot summer months was better than expected. I would consider building another Lennar Home. I would have caught the issues during the construction phase and addressed them at that time, but we were 1000 miles away. Overall satisfied with our purchase. ... More

We were happy to find a home that fit our needs - that gave us the space and aesthetics we wanted in an area that we are so happy with. I would be lying if I said we weren't worried going in to this transaction as Lennar has MANY negative reviews scattered about the internet. From sale to close, and beyond, I can summarize our interactions, both good and bad, as mediocre. This is largely because, I feel, there is a lack of ownership across the experience. Lennar personnel are quicker to pass the responsibility on to another person than to find a solution themselves. I'm not sure if this because there is a lack of a culture of ownership or because no one is empowered to do the right thing, but this theme is prevalent throughout. There were glimmer's of stellar service and I commended each of those individuals, but not enough of them to raise our rating of our experience with Lennar. The Good: The Customer Service Manager was quite helpful and knowledgeable and came out promptly to resolve an issue with the dishwasher...unfortunately, that was the last time he was this helpful. Our home is beautiful and we are happy here. Luckily, we were spared some of the horror stories other Lennar homeowners or even some of our neighbors have. The Bad: Our walkthrough date was "forgotten" about and they were unprepared when we arrived, the home was not completed upon closing, options and upgrades available for the home were VERY limited and unnecessarily stringent, workmanship was occasionally sloppy (who is doing quality control?), the representative of walkthrough is a professional liar who spent an hour misinforming us and giving empty promises. Painters were no-call/no-show on several occasions, Lennar sold a large percentage of our neighborhood to Chinese investors that rented the homes out. As a result, we have teenagers living 6-8 to a home and throwing parties, instead of having a strong and safe sense of security with actual homeowners (there are only three homeowners on our street). Materials are cheap and nothing feels well thought out. Our kitchen and laundry room were designed/built around the provided appliances (who does that?) To summarize, mediocre is the best word to describe our experience. My growing family is happy in our home and we've not had any huge issues that remain unresolved yet. But, as was explained to us several times by sales staff during the purchase, "Lennar is numbers focused," this is very clear. Seemingly for Lennar, numbers > people. ... More

Just weeks after moving in all nine upper kitchen cabinets came loose from wall and exploded when they hit the floor.....glass flew to every corner of lower level. All dishes shattered!!! Small grandkids had just finished making breakfast on counter below cabinets and would have been seriously insured or worse! Lennar found that all cabinets were screwed into wallboard/paper only!

The process of buying a house in itself is scary. So you think that buying a newly built home would be better. Wrong. Lennar used the cheapest materials, multiple issues ready. And later we get blamed for the issues so they dont have to fix it. If i could go back I would’ve approached this whole situation very differently, been more assertive with Lennar, and not have accepted things to be “fixed after move in”. What a disappointment. A few months in and already have a list of repairs that I have to pay for. Including changing the new floor which was done terribly but the company thinks they did it all right and Lennar sides with them. Shingles keep flying off. When you have a whole community talking how bad of a job they did, you realize the problem is not you but Lennar itself. ... More

Alyssa was awesome and always kept us in the loop with what was going on. In terms of workmanship we have already replaced a lot of things in the house due to being or cheaper quality when we bought it but overall was a good experience.

I bought to houses with Lennar I still got damage in both.the do not fixed and managers and employees treat people like garbage.

I chose a house that was already built. They never did anything I asked on the final walk. After I moved in, I had a lot of issues. They had to replace the vinyl flooring in the house. That was a nightmare experience. I fence is falling apart after only 5 months. I have to have the structure evaluated for a possible foundation issue. I wish they would just take the house back.

Other than the initial sales process and the warranty personnel, the entire construction related process has been painful. Wouldn’t recommend.

I had a terrible warranty request experience with Lennar Homes

I gave the overall buying experience only 3 stars because the closing date was postponed several times. When the actual date arrived I was nervous about closing because there was still a long punch list of things that were not yet completed/corrected. But I'm glad we went through with the closing. The wonderful foreman and sales office make up for the sloppy workmanship.

Great service

nothing

Many give Lennar a bad wrap. In my opinion, they offer a good product at a competitive price and have been very responsive.

Top shelf work from beginning to end. The Lennar Realty team was determined and made great effort in selling me and my wife on Lennar homes!!

Overall good experience. No issues.

I feel that a lot of things are overlooked. Simple things. The quality control of the different parts of the building process is far from good. I know good help is hard to find. There are things I believe you should change. The stainless sink in the kitchen are passé. There are many options besides stainless and porcelain. The tile work seems substandard. I like my house, but I think you need to get into current times.

Support and assistance was second to none. Everybody was really available to answer questions and address issues

My experience with my very first home build at Solana in Gilbert, AZ, was painless, thanks to the reps in the sales office, the mortgage company they recommended (Eagle), and Gerry and Todd on the construction side. Their patience with all of my questions, and then answering them in a way that made sense to me, lowered my stress levels during the home buying process. The finished product met my expectations - new, functional, charming, in a great location, sound quality - yet exceeded my expectations at the same time. Thank you, Lennar team, for all you do!

Good quality workmanship. The efficiency of the sound proofing and insulation was outstanding and I have much lower utility bills than expected.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with this community and home. We’ve never owned a Lennar but have been satisfied since day 1! Customer Service and support has been great too!

Definitely did not do quality work. Fir as much as I paid I could have chosen a better builder.

I put a Warranty request 2 weeks ago NO response!

Very happy with the home we purchased! No major issues and if any issue raised we were always taken care of.
