Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, NC

I was promised during my walk through that the huge hill of mud beside my home would be removed. It is also being used as a trash dump. Been over 4 months now and absolutely nothing has been done about it. If you drive down the alley behind Caite ridge road you can’t miss it under the power line. I guess since all homes on that street are sold it no longer matters.

The buying process was okay, the only person that was incredibly responsive was the sales agent, and he had already secured the sale. Construction Manager changed 3 times in less that 4 months, and quite a few items we asked weren’t done. It could have certainly been worse but absolutely could have been better.

Make you understand the HOA regulations. People with two and three cars aren’t “qualified” for a townhouse. Garages are for cars. They aren’t storage bins. Garbage cans are everywhere as are cars.

Things discovered in walkthrough were not fixed in final walkthrough. It was dirty and there was urine in our sump pump. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m so exhausted and stressed with the entire experience I’m sick of talking about it and would rather not relive it.

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 .

Terrible workmanship materials are cheap no response on issues that need to be addressed

Overall we felt that we are cheated on the quality of the workmanship and the material. They are rushing with the construction process and hence compromising on the quality. During construction hard to get updates and clarification on any concerns we had. They even close the house before fully ready. The warranty process is awfully bad...The list will go on and on...

Lennar sales manager is not customer friendly and don’t want to listen customer issues

The home seems well overpriced for the poor quality of materials used, especially the flooring. The houses are built MUCH too close together, and my backyard has a very steep decline that makes much of the yard unusable.

I am very unhappy with my buying experience with Lennar. The mortgage team had trouble compiling documents, requested the same documents multiple times, had to close twice as they provided incorrect forms, etc.

Lennar charged me an excessive daily fee for delayed closing beyond my control. The sales rep was callous and insensitive,. She tried very hard to take my home from me in order for Lennar a multi billion dollar company to benefit from the drastic increase in housing prices in the 8 months since I signed the contract which was before building began. I felt terrorized and victimized.. It was very traumatic

My experience was ok. My home is wonderful. Even though it was delayed by water issues. My biggest complaint about my home buying experience is my lawn is horrible. The lawn was put in with no water and now it’s dead. By the time I’m finished getting it right I will have spent a ton of money for something that should have been done correctly to start by Lennar. An absolute travesty.

The overall buying process was truly terrible. The sales representative didn’t seem confident in our ability to get approved. We spoke with 2 different loan officers who provided us with different information. When we ran into miscommunication issues about our initial approval, our sales representative was ready to cancel our contact as if she didn’t want to deal with us. We had to escalate our issues to management for issues with sales team and loan team. We were asked to provide additional funds for closing which was told hours before. If we didn’t really want this home, we probably would’ve backed out and forfeited our deposit simply due to lack of communication from staff. We did not appreciate receiving time sensitive information at 4pm or after because they do close at 5pm and become unresponsive. Our inspections process was smooth. The building team/inspection team were the most helpful individuals we encountered through this process. The construction manager for our development was very attentive and made sure all of our requests were satisfied. We are young; however, we come from a finance and building background and we are aware of what’s right and wrong. If able, I feel like Lennar would’ve tried to get over on us. ... More

The overall process wasn't smooth and the negotiation part could have been better. I didn't have a lot of trust in all that process, seemed like something was all the time hidden from me. When moved I noticed a lot of things were done quickly, just to be done. Especially painting and finished. Lots of things left unfinished which aren't covered by warranty. Overall process I think could have been better. For the future reference, try and negociate the more you can, don't rush and if you finance with Lennar and you don't like your mortgage officer, switch to a different one. That will matter a lot. When you come for the home inspection, take a careful look at a lot of things and on the last inspection, as well, take your time and look at different things, ... More

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 folks that are actually running the job sites do the most to correct the issues as they come up and from my experience with Lennar they will come up.

Well we moved in and were told if there are any problems there a web page put all your problems there....If to bought a phone and I told you that there was a web site to go to if you have connection problems and you can't get on line how would you feel ?we have nails backing out..flooring problems..and paint that has piled back drive way cracks and you can't even have someone stop by know instead you send out surveys to make you feel better See how good we are..Ya no.....word of mouth go's a long way

Honest review of Lennar Homes in Charlotte, NC area: After purchasing this home for $400,000, I can confidently say the quality does not match the price. Like many homes in today’s market, the value feels heavily inflated due to the economy. What’s being sold as a $400K home honestly feels comparable to a $200K home in real quality and craftsmanship. I previously purchased homes with Pulte and D.R. Horton, and even their base models offered better materials and overall build quality than what Lennar is delivering at this price point. The finishes feel cheap, the attention to detail is lacking, and the lot sizes here in Charlotte are extremely small for what buyers are paying. For such a major investment, I expected solid construction and pride in workmanship not builder-grade everything at luxury-level prices. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar if you’re looking for true value for your money. Do your research and compare before signing anything. ... More

Your salesman had some misinterpretations. During walk thru the representative lied to me right in my face. I was pressured to close on home at the time water hadn't even been cut on and when it did there was a leak. I was still being pressured to close. Then my home had no shutters but was being pressured to close. Terrible experience and I wishi purchased with Lennar. Then after seeing some of the workmanship after moving in it's truly terrible.

I don’t know where to start here. They use the cheapest labor. Cheapest parts. We moved into our home, and our home received 0 internet signal (we pay through our hoa). Cheap siding that had fallen off more than once. Then the people who fix it, leave white caulking on the side of the house and expect you to file claims to get it fixed. Plumbing was backed up with concrete. Rocks. Trash. Screws. Our customer service rep tried saying “well we can’t prove that it was or wasn’t you”. As if my family and o would take off toilets and sinks, to jam a bunch of rocks and concrete into our new home and pipes. Makes 0 sense. Plumbers came. Knocked a pipe. Sewage went all over the house. Weeks later, the flooring guy came and had to bring his daughter to translate into English for him. I’ve had more strangers come into our new home than family or friends. Wrong parts have been ordered. Things have been ruined. I paid people to move and set up our new house (normally I’d do it myself but I was in a head on collision and had a whole slew of problems with my neck and back. My 9 year old broke his back and spine). So you’d think, with Lennar knowing all of this, they’d be more helpful. Boy, you can’t be more wrong. It’s like pulling teeth. We had the kitchen cabinet people come yesterday, only to find out they had the wrong parts ordered, so more waiting is to be had. I miss my Pulte home. Be careful, make sure you hire your own inspector. Do not use whoever Lennar uses (that you pay for). Good luck. ... More

The sales woman Lauren completely lied through her teeth about multiple things. Most of the time I think she just didn’t know the answer but acted like she did. The day after we signed I never heard from her again despite reaching out multiple times. She passed us off to Elle the homebuyer concierge who was useless. She would take days to get back to me if at all and when she did she would not help at all just tie in someone else from Lennar who wouldn’t respond. The construction manager Michael was clearly lazy and not smart or responsive. I asked him to get me simple measurements on something like the fridge opening and it would take him a week and require me to follow up multiple times. The only responsive and good people to work with were the Mortgage team Clif and Crystal. Lauren, Elle, and Michael should all be fired. ... More

sold house based on wrong lot#; incorrect wire instructions; no provision for senior grab bars in bathrooms; mortgage lead will not make appointment; no blinds on windows, no towel rack or shower curtain rod in bathrooms; top shelf in cupboards too high to be usable; hard to use lower shelves; ground beyond front porch to steep with chances of guest falling

Did not really have a good experience.

We felt very rushed through the entire experience, Lennar mortgage dropped the ball on numerous occasions and left us wondering if the transaction was going to close. We were rushed through the final walk through process and was forced to accept the home as it was, and were left with numerous issues with damaged appliances, damaged cabinets, incomplete and poor drywall and paint finishes. All of which had to be remedied after closing via a warranty claim. There are still numerous items that have yet to be resolved, almost two months later. We were told that we would just have to live with the damaged appliances , because it’s not the builders responsibility. You would think that for the amount of money that we spent on this home, that Lennar would have been more willing to insure that we as the buyers were happy with everything. ... More

The finish work on Lennar homes is sloppy and the materials used are cheap. I have had to replace 4 lights in the 4 weeks I have lived in the brand new home because the lights are of poor quality. The front door is already coming apart and the dishwasher has a work order in to be repaired. The upstairs floors pop when walking across them. The materials used in Lennar homes are inexpensive and will not last the life of the home. I will have to spend my own money to replace all of the recessed lights because they are bad quality. These are things that should not be breaking in a brand new home.
