Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, NC

It may be a common practice, but Lennar is among those builders who simply clear-cut every living thing wherever they build. The fact that they also use Bermuda grass means that for long periods of the year you will be living in an area completely devoid of anything green and living. Additionally, the home I bought was rife with issues including a severely uneven foundation in one room that still wasn't fixed by move-in even though it had been brought to the builder's attention many weeks earlier. Oh what fun it is to be baking in the North Carolina sun for 3 days in mid-summer because you've already moved out of your prior home but it's too loud to be in your new one while the slab is getting ground down! ...

Completely disappointed. Especially with the yard! It's unusable! And we were told that it was a family friendly community, however, it's NOT! it's more for older people who don't have kids, as long as they don't want to use the back yards, as they are uneven so they're dangerousto walk on! We should have one assigned parking spot out front, but there's not enough parking for the owners and guests. Another thing is providing us with the cheapest possible appliances like the dishwasher... with that said, we were told everything is included, that was false. The refrigerator, washer and dryer was not included! A bunch of careless and thoughtlessness is what I noticed. There should have been lights in the closets, too. And the vent in the masters bathroom goes on automatically, it should also turn off automatically. ... More

As stated earlier, I know Lennar sells thousands of homes, however we bought one. What was supposed to be an exciting time became a frustrating chore. This is the fourth survey i had filled our and no one from Lennar has reached out. Says a lot.

Overall, this has not been a good experience for us whatsoever.

Terrible follow up from constantly rotating construction managers caused a lot of stress and delays. Generally poor workmanship. High pressure sales just tells you what they think you want to hear. Don't visit without a realtor or you're on your own for the duration.

The mortgage process didn’t go smoothly

Lack of communication throughout the home building process from the Construction Manager and Salesperson. Many things missed or shortcuts taken that I had to ask to go back and address. Flooring options are subpar, as we have already had to replace the cheap engineered hardwoods they use. I will think twice in the future prior to using Lennar.

Trying to get a closing date was a nightmare and all amenities which we are paying thousands for are not be completed for more than a year later. People have been in here 2 years and receiving nothing but paying high HOA and taxes.

Our recent purchase of a home from Lennar, unfortunately, was far from smooth experience. While the house itself is okay, though we had to point a few things to repair in 2 external inspections and 2 walks we did before closing; the whole process of buying was frustrating. Lennar offered no flexibility on anything — from minor adjustments to deadlines, there was little room for negotiation or understanding. To make matters worse, management was practically impossible to reach. It was difficult to get answers to even the most basic questions. I expected a more customer-focused approach, especially for such a significant purchase. Not the smooth experience I had hoped for. Even our real estate agents expressed that in their decades of working in industry, they never had any of their clients or for themselves see a bad customer service at the level Lennar showed. ...

The buying experience wasn’t bad - the aftermath of issues and builders not responding. The lack of communication and overall experience not recommended.

Within a week my house has nail pop, cracks in the walls and don’t get me on the easy to stain flat paint they use. You fall in love with the model they show you and then they decide to tweek little things like 4 led lights in the dining room instead of the one so I can put a chandelier like I thought I could. I thought I was getting a decent size laundry room and the darn room can barely fit my washer and dryer. Not mulch for decor, just cheep pine needles. The house probably costs a little over 100,000 to build and we paid 445,000 for it. Worse thing is, is that they make is so after 30 days you cannot back out of buying the house. So when when you walk into a completely different home than what you thought you purchased, ain’t crap you can do. Go buy a KB home.. they are way more upfront and genuinely want you to be happy when you purchase your new home. ... More

Bought home at Lennar Huntersville NC, construction quality is below average, materials used cheapest.. Common Mail box is in front of house , but they assigned 2 blocks away so this is the sample example of them If you want to waste your.Money then buy many homes with Lennar

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

Finishing work was very poor

Cheap material for the price paid. My stairs has crack from the neighbors garage, another wall has a crack from the other neighbors garage.

Do not trust this builder. We were lied to throughout the process and the quality of workmanship on our home was very poor. We will not recommend Lennar to anyone in the future.

Very poor construction manager. As a customer you need to visit every day your home while construction if you want to save yourself. Before I bought the home they promised fence will come outside the property and it was not completed as promised. Would never recommend. With raising market these people dont even care to hear the concern once you close the home

Upgraded cabinets were not cared for. After installation we saw several small indents,scratches and paint chips. Flooring was put in with three spot of red sharpie showing, can find a way to remove them without damaging the visual appreance. Sod was installed without any watering being done. Struggling greatly with that this summer. One of our trees died. ( Yes we watered it). Drywall screws are backing out like crazy. This is making painting nightmare. For almost $400,000. We thought we would get more quality out of it. Lots of headaches to go through this first year. Lots of short cuts Lennar took. ... More

very average. Lax prep of the new home with dirty windows, floors. Several problems needing to be addressed.

I had the worse home buying experience!!! NEVER use all Lennar products together, like the builder and loan company (even though they give you insentive) because when 1 of them goes wrong they will work together to screw YOU. From the start the agent Kim was terrible. We felt something was off but didnt want to make blank judgements. But 2 weeks before closing all truth came out when they discovered a negligent issue that they didnt tell me about and after waiting 9 month their response was "well you can just let it go" mind you at this point I had already submitted my rental move out notice. Letting go would mean homeless with 3 kids and a dog. From there I could see the agents working hard to convince the loan folks to deny my loan. This would have been good for them then their negligence would be disolved. Ohh boy they tried, but God was bigger and he found me ways, and everything they threw at me didnt stick! But it was such a painful experience I vow to speak out everywhere once my emotional wounds have healed. The home itself is good and spacious but 1 horrible thing is there is zero sound proofing. We hear conversations in any room and toilets flushed from 3rd floor. Overall no thank you, never Lennar, I will go back to DR Horton! All they had to do was be truthful to me and treat me like a human. Instead profits and numbers were more important. REMEMBER THIS!! You are not important to them, dont waste your time! ... More

Lennar lending was the worst experience I’ve ever had to deal with. Took 5 days past first closing date to actually close. Kept coming up excuses to why they could not get paperwork done. Suggestion to company make one contact point throughtout the whole process to many hands involved with the process definitely Lennar inner communication was none.

The financial team was not aware of the new VA loan process. My processor did not communicate with me until 30 days before closing. I started my home buying process in August of 2022. I did not speak with her until late April early May 2023. I eventually had to use outside lenders and obtain legal counsel to close on my home. This process was horrible.

This is my second home from this particular builder. My experience this time around was far most the worst experience. I would not recommend this builder.

I was very excited to buy a home in this community. First of all, they didn’t finish the home until the day of closing. They were still working on that day just until I closed and then vanished. Work outside and inside was pending. I had reported the plumbing issue and was told it will be taken care of. They have installed a non-standard bathtub and surrounding wall which does not fit and due to which lot of water is going to waste. I raised several requests but all requests have been closed without any resolution. I am very disappointed with my decision to buy here.

The microwave was not installed for our inspector to check it. They installed it last minute and left 2 screws out and unaligned. They didn’t let us blue tape the house and A LOT of the issues we asked to be fixed just weren’t. The construction manager worked by himself to fix those and we had to come back the same day to approve it. Overall, the quality of the home is not good. The construction manager is extremely passive aggressive. During the choosing the exterior colors, the sales representative said the white siding was not available anymore and we had to go with the lien color. Well, guess which color they are using on the new houses? WHITE! Why did she lie to us? People: STAY AWAY FROM LENNAR! ... More
