Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

As a first time home buyer, you expect certain things but I know not everything can go as planned. Communication at the start of my process was great between the loan officer and home consultant. As the weeks go by, I start to send out documents and I’m getting emails to send the same documents I sent weeks ago… or even just a couple days ago… are they not checking what I am sending. I was also given a very high interest rate even though initially I was told it was going to be a lot lower… the fix?? If you can get a lower rate elsewhere we will match it! Why not just offer the lower rate… Long story short to that, Lennar Mortgage matched the lower rate of the other bank. Now comes the last couple of months and lack of communication to myself and between Lennar staff. I was told closing would be a certain date but that got pushed multiple times until I finally closed 3 months from when I was originally told. I also had a scheduled walk-thru and was double booked that day so that got pushed a week. On my final walk-thru, the day of closing nothing was completed and blue tape was still up from when I taped. Miraculously, I still closed that day because I had it pushed a couple of hours. With all of this, no one was in communication with each other, loan officer didn’t know closing was pushed, home consultant didn’t know walk thru wasn’t done, and so on. In terms of build quality, it could be a lot better. I did have my own 3rd party inspection who mentioned the bones of the home was great but marked the little stuff that Lennar actually fixed. But to this day (a month and a half into living in the home) I am magic eraser-ing the small splatter of paint I see on the floor corners or floor edge. Would I recommend Lennar? if you’re going for price sure. But if you want quality in terms of home and the whole process I’d look elsewhere. ... 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!

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

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

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

Poor quality materials and finishes. Bad walkthrough experience, orientation was made over the phone! Dead trees handed over, you can see many of them dead in the community!

Quality of workmanship is poor. Value is low compared the price paid. The paint quality is poor. Warranty team responds to issues raised but would not fix everything.

Closing was a nightmare. The first closing appointment was cancelled without notification. I was at the second appointment from 12:00 to 8:15 PM. All I heard that day was "we're waiting on paperwork. Then the house keys were not available and they weren't sure where they were so I was unable to go to the house that day as planned. I had to go to the model home the next day to get the keys.

In beginning everything was good and the seller Carson was amazing, after that it was so complicate. I had other company to do all relative to the mortgage and I decide do it with Lennar and that was like nightmare. then when I was in the end of process I went to do the walk in, and I was let them know what need to be fixed, the lady how was with me answer " you have to understand this is a production house" I don't know if the mean it is the cheaper house, don't ask for to much, anyway for a production house, they should offer good quality, and better costumer service.

can provide more quality based homes. Once the house is signed, we need to take care of all the issues. Quality of house is not that much appreciated. When I put up same question, they mentioned its human build and mistakes will happen, which was not expected. Final inspection should be done by team and identify issues and close it before customer do it.

Customer service on the builder side was seriously lacking. I expected it to take longer than estimated to build, but the roadmap was unclear and timeline changed so many times and took twice as long as the original estimate for close. My issue was really with how unclear the process was in terms of next steps and the timeline of what was needed from me. For a company that has all of the parts of the process able to be managed by Lennar businesses I had hoped they’re communication between building and lending for example would have been better. Overall, would I do it again? Maybe but not in this market- not even because of price or delayed closing but because of service along the way. ... More

It's been nearly impossible to find an affordable home. I was relieved to find a new home in a new community. The house is designed well. With that said, the community has been largely built in the absence of an adequate infrastructure. Power goes out regularly. The community ammeneties are still not complete. Contractors are leaving footprints in the concrete and there seems to be no oversight into quality control in a number of areas. Construction sites are littered with bottles and cans and storm sewers are filled with garbage in construction areas. With that said, it is easy to report issues and Lennar sends people out to correct problems in a timely manner. ... More

The home is good. A few issues that I can correct. The staff that were my main contacts were great. Some staff late in the closing process were not helpful.

Had a good experience generally. only big disappointment was on the 1st and 2nd viewing of the property before purchase. The lady treated us really badly. We still remember this.

Customer service has been ok except NOT the mortgage part… otherwise ok

Lennar did an adequate job. The home is good all-in-all but there are definite things that need improving. The attention to detail is definitely lacking with the workmanship and the employees were not always the friendliest. If you’re looking for a pretty good house for a pretty good price, then you’ll get it, but don’t expect anything amazing from the product or the people.

We love our new home. It is built well and so far have only had drainage issues due to the new sod. Hopefully this gets better. We love our neighborhood and love the design of the home. Lending was quite easy with Lennar. The only problems we had was after we put in our application for purchase the communication almost stopped and processes were not explained to us at all. The lending was all done on line and it was hard to get somebody to call and explain next steps. We were just kind of standing around wondering if we were approved, should we pack, what do we do. We didn't get final approval until a week before closing. So we were hesitant to schedule movers and all the preparations of leaving our old home. It became very frustrating. It felt like the builder gave us great service at the beginning then faded away. We did get a nice house and are happy. I hate to complain and rarely give bad reviews. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience but just pick up the phone and see how your customers are doing. That's all that is needed. ... More

Poor quality of the material

Spec house. Know what you’re buying, lennar is there for money.

Compared to the stories we have heard from people dealing with other builders in town, we don't have much to complain about. However, you can see where they used subpar materials and cut corners to meet deadlines.

Make sure you ask questions.

Very pressured to use their preferred lenders and when we wouldn’t change our lender the closing of our house was threatened.

This was my first home buying experience. If it wasn’t for my realtor helping me understand the process, I had no idea what was going on. A lot of the walk through issues were not fixed properly.

My wife and I have not closed on our new house yet. There have been multiple delays with our closing
