Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

Everything was great until my close date was pushed back 3 times. I understand building materials have been scarce in the past 2 years so that wasn’t the main issue but the start. When I did the final walk through, the agent who did it was respectful but I believe deceitful as well. The front area of the home did not have power until she said “oh the breaker is off” when she flipped jt on everything worked for about 10 minutes. The electrician was there working on the breaker and even thought it was odd that the laundry breaker kept flipping. I submitted a warranty request where it took almost two weeks to have someone come out. Once that was fixed I submitted a warranty request for my front door (was an issue with the walk through but was told it would be fixed as well). The front door didn’t latch once closed. The wind, the two year old or the pull of one finger could open my front door. To lock it the door had to be held shut and locked (still wouldn’t latch). In the first month of owning this home I have submitted three warranty requests and about to submit a fourth for my bedroom fan/light fixture. My neighbors AC unit went out two days ago and they bought their home a week before me (early December ) . Am I next ? All in all I love the home , the lot but there are definitely some things that should have been done better (large scratches and cracks in my floor that weren’t there the morning of my closing when I left and people had to come in to finish getting the home done). Will I buy another home from Lennar? Most likely not. They have great looking home and people working for them but cutting corners when it’s someone’s home is not acceptable. I’m sure this review may get thrown in the trash or overlooked how all bad or non glorified reviews of companies are but to whoever is reading this, make the right decision and ask the right questions. Thank you ... More

It’s worth buying the home. Mellisa at the office, David in construction were awesome. The speed they guild these at, leaves a very high margin of sloppy work. We have curved walls. Over lapping paint. Uneven trims , hole hiding behind the oven. Bad landscaping ( sprinkler covered with sod) uneven sod. Despite all of this the house good home. It’s well insulated, the floor plan is well thought out . The ac and heater work. Yup it’s beats renting!

Overall everything was easy and very stress free. From customer service to financing to maintenance has been great. The lower stars were simply about materials but overall I am loving my home.

My experience was less than satisfying. At least I made it through the absolute train wreck from start to my 5 hour cluster of a closing experience and thought I could live happily in my home. But, NO!! Lennar didn't schedule a final inspection for the loan and out of the blue nearly 2 months after I close I find out they are threatening legal against me for them not scheduling an inspection??? This is beyond ridiculous!!

Our experience with Lennar builders was bad from start to finish. We were pressured into a walk-thru before the house was completed. This resulted in additional pressure to close before the end of the month and before fixes were complete. We were told during the walk-thru that we would be supplied touch-up paint, which we didn't receive. We have asked several times for specific color names that were used and still have not received. Attention to detail on the finishing of the house was poor, obviously the constrution manager didn't care in shotty craftsmanship. We've had nothing but trouble with all the technology included in the house. We've reached out several times to the custumer care specialist, who refused to return calls or help in any way. Our sales person was relocated to another development, therefore, was not in a position to help with any questions we asked. On the day we closed, which everyone knew was happening, our keys were locked in the sales office with no one working that day to get them. The auto emails have overwelmed my inbox, from Lennar Mortage to the customer care person and there is no way to stop them from coming. We hope the home warrenty process is better than the building process! This was our first experience building a house and unfortunately we had a terrible experience with Lennar!! We would not recommend Lennar to anyone else. ... More

I would not recommend. Workmanship is poor quality, finding more and more issues as we get more settled- poor painting, lots of seal and caulk issues, cabinet colors don’t match, mouse infestation, the list goes on and on. Not all issues are covered which makes it more frustrating. Major issues with hot water, recently fixed after enormous gas bill. Working with Jonathan now on warranty items and he has been great thus far! Lennar should spend a bit more time in the details of the home prior to close and move-in. The walk through is very difficult as they are showing you all of the amenities and doing the walk through at the same time. Sharon was our walkthrough rep and she was good at making excuses for things that were clearly broken and needing a fix- example- gentleman was power washing our pack porch and a flood of water came under the door- I asked if that would be fixed and she attempted to convince me if was normal from water pressure and would not put it in the list for repair. During the 2nd walk through, construction manager- Juan- confirmed it did require weather stripping, after I asked about it. Doing the right thing the first is key in customer service and business especially on a $460K plus purchase! Right now, wouldn’t recommend to a friend and wouldn’t buy again with Lennar. ... More

We called out that there was water accumulation in the back yard that was not dissipating prior to purchase. It was listed as an exception to close. The water did dissipate some but not completely. This is a huge inconvenience as we have dogs and every time they go outside, when they return, the dogs muddy up the floor. During closing and after closing the Lennar Rep did make contact. We turned off the water sprinklers a week after we purchased house and the mud/water has remained, to this day. I will be contacting the rep after the holidays to see about getting this remediated. In addition, the siding/seal for garage door frame is coming apart. Did not even last more than two months. ... More

Homebuying process was rocky but not too bad… I used lennar mortgage. There were constant delays with closing date but overall they got things done. No issues with home so far

Though the process was relatively quick the communication throughout the entire process needs work. I did have a third party inspection on my home and thankfully it was mostly cosmetic issues but there was a lot of sloppy work done on the home and some of it had to be redone prior to closing. The concrete driveway and sidewalks are sub-par and very sloppily done. They did a bad patch job where they chipped the concrete when removing the forms. They left bits of concrete on the sidewalks and curbs and it looks like a very sloppy job. The entire neighborhood looks this way. Also, when I was finally given my keys and went to my home as a homeowner for the first time there was trash and debris in my yard. There were nails, dried mud and debris in my driveway and the approach to my driveway. When I asked the salesman if they were going to clean it up he told me probably not so I had to do it myself to prevent me or my guests from getting nails in our tires. This was completely unacceptable in my opinion. I would recommend any new home buyer to get a third party inspection prior to purchasing your home. Lennar builders put these homes up quickly and do not concentrate on the quality of work only the quantity, in other words get it done as fast as you can no matter what and hopefully no one will notice. ...

The home buying experience was not bad at all. Don Segal worked to ensure my needs and questions were addressed. Just with Lennar caulked the baseboards. It give the house a more finished look.

Since we closed we had major plumbing issues and our dishwasher broke the other day. We have lived here for 1 month. I don’t t trust Lennar workmanship at all after hearing neighbors issues and online reviews on Lennar homes. I have anxiety living in a Lennar home due to poor warranty time frames and craftsmanship on the home. The price was ok I don’t think this home was worth $265,000 but we had to move so we took it. I do love the elementary school and amenities. It’s a beautiful neighborhood I’m just very confused on how small the streets are. It’s made for one vehicle at a time if someone is parked on the street. I don’t trust any issues regardless of warranty being fixed the correct way. I also had a horrible experience with Justin as my loan officer to finance the house. He was not doing his job at all. Justin dropped the ball too many times. I hope they build the second pool near Timber Point Dr. So we can use it. This community is too big for just one pool at the community center. Again, my anxiety is high closing on a NEW Lennar home because of the issues that were a problem prior to closing and now since we closed the issues we have experienced. ... More

No Comment at this time.

The air conditioning does not work properly. Cannot accept it for a brand new home.

A horrible experience. First, communication with everyone from sales to the mortgage team has to improve. There was no proactive communication from any of the representatives, except, obviously when something was needed from us. They changed our closing day three times, each of those times without advance notification. So you can imagine how fun it was to reschedule the movers etc. During our final walk, the Lennar rep. informed us that they couldn’t install the FLO by Moen due to an inventory shortage; hard to believe since all the houses in our street have it… Also, during the final walk, I asked the rep to include the driveway on the report, which he did but clearly said that they would not do anything to make the driveway looks better. He was right, it was not fixed, they did put a resurfacer, but it did not help at all. We decided not to push the issue since we needed a place to live and did not want to delay the closing any further. When we finally moved in, the title company sent the insurance check to a different insurance agency, long story short; we had to pay out of pocket to prevent being uninsured while they fixed their mistake. In summary, horrible customer service, I don’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

The only issue I had was with submitting my Closing Costs. I used the directions provided to me and both times my wire was returned to me. I lost my wire processing fee of $30.00 and an additional $45.00 twice when the funds were returned to my Bank Account. I found it frustrating that I did what was asked and it cost me a lot of money.

They have good and bad. I dealt with some great people in sales like Mike and hated finance past Christian that is. The mortgage process was good but also a headache for sure. But we are all in all happy. Great community with great families, events and great times

Bought the home and the move it was rushed. During the inspection the builder hid flaws on the counter top by taping the inspection notice over the defect during the walk thru. Once we closed the build has forced us to go thru the customer care site to fix problems and it has been a nightmare. Customer care rep is unresponsive, has not fixed any of our several issues and when I complained the customer care rep called me and berated me for complaining. 2 months in and I really regret using Lennar. Very disgusted with this builder and will never use or recommend to anyone.

Great location and community

We learned very early that we could trust the Lennar Mortgage broker and the on-site builders agent Tammy and Deacon are hard working and honest professionals who were responsive and reassuring during the recent market in which it was very difficult to find a new build. When we think of Lennar, we think of the great interactions we have.consistently enjoyed with each of them. We thoroughly enjoy our house.

Not a good experience. Can’t really be trusted

Overall experience was OK. There was a huge delay in closing which was understandable because of the supply chain issues around 2021/2022. Quality and finishing is not the best, but not bad and the maintenance department is very responsive. The worst experience was with Lennar Mortgage, lots of mistakes and having to resubmit documents and until a week before closing I had no idea how much my closing costs would be.

Buying from Lennar is overall a good experience. But you have to be ready for a lot of warranty claimed after closing. Everyone from the sales department and warranty department is super friendly, responsive, and helpful. We had Omar as our sales rep, and he is always there helping us explaining the process of closing and tried his best to answer our concerns. Richard and John are our Wareanty manager, they are both very polite and friendly! Because the bad workmandahip of the home we had to call warranty pretty often, Richard and John never complained about the constant warranty claims but patiently helped us fixing all the problems one by one. For the service, we could gave a 5 star without thinking. They hire great people in the team providing excellent service. However the workmanship is pretty bad compare to our old home, a lot of problems need to be fixed after closing. If you are a first time home buyer and do not know much about fixing things yourself, you should think twice about buying Lennar. We understand there are always imperfections in every home, but as a new build all the imperfections makes our new home seems like a old home being renovated cheaply. One of the Toilets in Junior suite, the water tank cannot be stabilized, and we you touch is it is very loose. When we mentioned it at final walk through, the builder didn’t want to replace it, saying as long as it’s not leak, it should be fine, but our home inspector told us it might be a long term safety concern for whoever is yawing this toilet. Then a lot of in-wall areas was not being installed or caulked property. Like the main water valves frame is not aligned and in sloped angle, the washer faucet frame, dryer vent frame, and the Calle & wire box are super dirty and not fully insalled in the wall, they are loose and flying outside the wall, window glass break in 3 weeks after we close, and one of my fiends has leaking toilet the first day she moved in, and the home is very dirty with stains and marks on the walls and ceiling. All the little problems, if warranty doesn’t handle them, you have to fix them yourself. Just be ready to spend few weeks just to claim warranty and fix little issues on your own. Compare to our old home from centex and other homes in the same neighborhood, the Lennar’s workmanship of homes in this neighborhood is bad, of course because of that their price is also cheaper than the other builders for about 100K. So if you don’t mind claiming warranty and fixing thing on your own, I would say it’s a good buy. Then let’s talk about their loan department. If you take the loan from Lennar mortgage! Never accept VIrtual Closing!!! It’s completely a mess and you will have to pay more out of packet money on transaction fees! Even thou sometimes they want to push you to close early and want to close virtually! Don’t do it! They can push the closing date to a later day! The loan officiers are not really responsive compare to their sales and warranty department! A lot of time, they don’t respond unless they need something from you. And they don’t explain their processes very clearly, and we had to go to Omar to find out the details. Also for the virtual closing, you will have to do multiple fractions in order to finish all down payment and closing fees. And the single wire transfer transaction fee is more than purchasing a single cashier check! We though we had to do it so we did it. But my friend refused to do it, and just delayed the closing for like a date! So Don’t do the virtual closing! If it wasn’t for bad workmanship and not so pleasant loan and closing process, We would give Lennar a 5 star for their sales department and warranty services. The reason why we give 3 is because we took 1 star off from the bad workmanship that we have to claim warranty so often, and took another 1 star off for their loan department for not being so clear on the process and we had to pay more than usual transaction fees lol hope my experience helps you buying from Lennar! And happy home buying! ... More

Many things in my home is not in working condition or damaged. I am still struggling to get them fixed even when I notified the problem before closing.

Great, closed as stated. Over all experience was good

There are lot of problems with the finishing like painting and caulking. Especially the finishing is very bad and rushed for closing.
