Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, NC

Awesome experience buying home with lennar!!

When we complained about quality of trim and paint we were told "it's not a custom house". Bad answer!

The quality of our home is less than satisfactory. It seems Lennar chooses to use too many inexperienced craftsmen and ultimately cannot deliver the quality of home you pay for. Finish work is definitely an area where they need to use more experienced craftsmen. Drywall finish, trim, painters, tile and cabinetry installation are all areas that NEED better QC focus, And Caulking cannot be the answer to every crack and crevice. The paint used is just contractor grade and any little bump or touch leaves a mark than cannot be wiped off or out. Nice looking homes and good layout/designs - just wish Lennar would improve the Quality of their work and you got what you paid for. ... More

Getting major issues repaired or replaced has been grueling! The mortgage loan process was equally frustrating and personnel were negligent in either responding on time or did not communicate professionally and sometimes found fault with us. we were forced into a closing where a few major construction items were questionable. We did not receive our final closing document until we were sitting in lawyers office so we delayed transfer of funds for a day and then threatened that we would not get keys for property until wire confirmed. then the next day as money transfer was being processed....which takes a few hours. we had numerous calls and txt wanting to know when wire would be received! Yet on the front side of closing when we needed answers we got very little response or cooperation. We do love our home but the experience for a couple 70 and over buying a new home after 30 years was mostly unpleasant and very tedious. ... More

Brian has resolved every issue I have had. He is a good listener and a great resolver of problems in my home.

Lennar released property to me as a purchaser with grading and drainage issues. Part of the property is a retention wall, house is built on a slope. During the construction, after hurricane Ian sink holes appeared on the property. In the next couple of visits, I expressed my concern with the stability of the land, but construction engineer said that Lennar will do it right. In good faith, I trusted that the builder have good reputation and will not allow unsolved problems before passing the property to the purchaser. I was very very wrong… 10 days after the closing, sink holes and hazard appeared on the property and compromised the integrity of the retention wall. The site is devastating. Here now about 45 days i am getting run-around and their land development that was supposed to come for assessment 2 days ago never showed up. We made attempt to connect with the warranty point person, he didn’t return the call. No one deserves this, huge problems, anxiety, concerns. I cannot even begin to explain the hardship in this journey that took all the joy and experience of a new home that I worked for all my life. ... More

The builders are absolutely horrible when it comes to cleaning the cleaning the areas of the homes they are currently building, they do not block off the areas where sod hasn't been placed so when it rains, we have a continuous mud slide along with settled mud in front of our new home and on our block. It's lazy workmanship not to leave those areas in a position where homeowner have to shovel mud and clean up excessive amounts of trash. This is far beyond a small issue, when my car slides on the mud because it is so thick. It makes it that much worse when we are told they only clean the streets on Wednesdays and Fridays, whoever is overseeing the builders of this area is doing a subpar job or the standards are extremely low ...

Have some exception items after closing on 11/23/22. As of today 1/12/23, still not completed. Even scheduled for work, yet never show up on time and causing us to wait at home.

The home buying experience was really great.

Not having permits for water was uncalled for. Blaming everyone else made it worse. We wanted minor changes we were offered to pay for and sign a contract for(moving outside spigots and additional shelving in closet- both prior to their installation- and told no. Communications were “we don’t know” on every aspect. Now that almost all houses are sold there is mud in the streets, unfinished sidewalks, major common areas just mud, trash on the bridge at the entrance, etc. not impressed with Lennar.

Be sure everything is exactly as you want it. Once you close on yours home they are not so Really available! They do respond eventually, Just not as quickly.

Great community, looks so clean

This is a difficult review to write. While I love my home and am happy to finally be in it and somewhat settled, the process and experience getting here was very disappointing. The close date was moved multiple times. Often Lennar would blame outside sources but most times it was due to poor project management. The delays also cost me more money in the interest rate and escrow. Both my realtor and mortgage lender had to make several calls to get answers. Once I was moved in there were some minor things that I wished had been handled better. The first was the lack of cleanliness. The floors downstairs were covered in layers of red clay. Two months later I’m still trying to get it all up. The other was just the lack of attention to detail in some of the workmanship. There is more but for the moment I leave with the above. ... More

The closing process was very stressful and communication between Lennar and the attorney was disastrous. Old documents were mailed, documents were signed after the fact, and signing day was not pleasant. Please do better, Lennar.

Elson was awesome from start to finish. Andrea and Andre needs customer service training. Cheyenne was great. Overall the experience was decent. The process was smooth although I was a nervous wreck.

Overall, nice home and amenities in Millbridge. Finish work could use improvement with more options for kitchen cabinets.

My experience was very bad. It started with the first walk-through. I identify some stuff. The second walk-through identified some stuff. It is now been 45 days in the items that I identified to be fixed is still not fixed. Follow up from all of the above is very, very poor. I asked for a price adjustment paid 15,000 more for the same home that sold across the street. overall a very bad experience.

When I walk into my home I am sad every day. The poor quality of this home can be seen in every wall, ceiling and floor.

Issue 1 - making people blind bid on a house and using supply chain as an excuse Issue 2 - custom build house where you have no say in what goes into house Issue 3 - cheap materials used, paint etc. Issue 4 - electrical issues Positive - Jeremy. Very helpful with updates during the building process Positive - Becca. Very helpful with the multiple warranty fixes

I had very pleasant experience watching my house being built. Personnel was very helpful trough the process. They responded to my questions. I was getting videos regularly showing progress of my house being built.

While we are overall fairly happy with our finished home, the overall fit and finish for the price of the home is substandard. We have purchased 8 other new construction homes over the past 30+ years so we know what we should be getting in terms of quality of workmanship. While Lennar advertises "Everything's Included" we found that not to be the case and there was very little we could customize throughout the process. We purchased the house about 8 months ahead of it being completed and had a relative watch the progress. I only wish I was here when it was being built and finished out to challenge Lennar on the workmanship. Now it appears I will have to pay other contractors to fix and bring the house up to my standards. For that it is disappointing but not much that can be done at this point. We will attempt to have some things fixed during the 1 year warranty but I am not going to hold my breath. To do it over again I might not choose Lennar but I think we can make this house viable in terms of a home we want to live in. ... More

Overall good but with some final finishing were hurried

The construction of a $500k home rates a Minus on our scale. Super delayed process that was poorly communicated. Stressful and limited communication during the build process. Obvious lack of supervision of poorly skilled workers. The home continues to present endless construction issues. Just wished this product was refundable .

Lennar delivered my home and saw to my concerns quickly and very accessible. They provided all the valuable information and delivered early

Overall great experience and very smooth process
