Lennar Reviews in Dallas, TX

The start of our home buying process began smoothly, with a virtual tour and quickly finding a floor plan that was available and fit our timeline. Everything after that went downhill. We had some trouble communicating the specifics of our loan information with our MLO, primarily the fact we wanted the house in both our names, and some other key details around the cash to close which were not addressed until the last week before the holidays. Our sales rep, Lee, was hard to get a response out of for a while until our closing. We closed the day that the snow storm hit McKinney and no one was there to turn our water on, or help in any way outside of handing me my keys. Lee even had the gall to ask us how we figured out to do this ourselves and if we would be willing to help another homebuyer also left out to dry because of the weather. Tip: if no one is coming in to work; let your buyers know so they can adjust their plans and not put them or anyone else in danger. Or don’t shut off the water the day before someone moves in. It was also never communicated until days prior that our closing would be all virtual. That would have been VERY nice to know ahead of time as we were located in two different states until the day prior. ... More

Dont even respond to emails.

Return calls are horrible!

Not understanding how they sold my loan to another finance company after I told them before they do that let me know and I will go to my credit union that was very unprofessional once they got the money for the house they didn't care about nothing else

Get an inspector and make sure Lennar fixes all issues found BEFORE closing. Lennar will find every excuse to not resolve any issues after the deal is done, even with the one year warranty

The sales person was not helpful at all, most of the time she doesn't answer back or for the few times she did she was giving wrong information, my new neighbor had the same issue as well. Otherwise some of the floors in the house are not well leveled and also I fund some studs and trush buried under the sod and makes me question the quality of work and not trust your company. One good thing, the QA person who was in the final walk-through inspection was knowledgeable and had a good attitude.

The material looks cheaper than I thought

Buying a home is one of the largest purchase an average person makes in their lives. Unfortunatley for me, my experience with the sales agent I was assigned was not positive. I found the sales agent misleading at times, very pushy. Home buyers concierge's primary job is to communicate, update the customer, which she hardly did. had a hard time getting a response from her. Mortgage department cant give you a final number until the day of closing which I found surprising. Workmanship and quality is supbar. I already have cracks on the trim and corner of the wall. I picked a date suggested by the sales agent for inspection. When the inspection came by , certain items were not ready. I let the team know of my scheduled inspection. Why was I not notified that I probably should postpone it so I can get everything inspected? ... More

Not a very good experience..

I was looking to purchase a home early this year. I went to another Lennar community where an agent named Blanca helped me. After deciding that community was not a fit for me, I decided to look at other properties. After letting her know my budget and also timeframe, she kept pushing for an earlier date, to which I didn’t feel comfortable. I decided she was not a fit, because I wanted someone who understood my timeframe and knew I wasn’t interested in spending thousands of dollars more since I was still leasing an apartment. After finding Falcon, I went for a house there. The process was smooth, until the walks and inspections took place. Lots of items needed to be fixed and also there were items that seemed rushed and quickly done, just to get it out of the way and fulfill the closing time. In addition to that, 6 days prior to closing, the Lennar office removed incentives from the sale and increased my closing over 5k more. Unbelievable! They even told me I could stop down from the sale when I said that was not right. After going back and forth during several days, they were able to correct some of the incentives. That was such a nerve-wracking week filled with tons of emotions. It was extremely stressful to say the least! Then, at the last minute, they said that blinds didn’t come with the house, even when I had in writing by 2 people from the company, that blinds came with the home. They told me no. That’s a very deceptive practice. The last thing that happened, on the day of closing, I went to pick up the keys of my new home and the person who was in the office, was the manager Blanca, who in a very condescending and harassing manner asked me why I didn’t put her as my agent, if she was helping me at the beginning. I felt very threatened by the fact she was telling me this as I was picking up my keys. Instead of congratulating me on my home, she was complaining to me that she didn’t pretty much have my sale. That was crazy! What an experience! I hope Lennar gets it together! ... More

I thought it would be a better first time homebuying experience. They found a quick sale. Thats all.

We had high hopes for building with Lennar but they failed in many areas. Communication was extremely lacking, workmanship was subpar, and the Title company was less than professional. I had previously heard differently from others, but based upon my experience, I cannot imagine referring friends to Lennar.

After purchasing a home, it has ALWAYS been courteous of the sales/realtor to leave a gift basket especially since we are moving from out of state. We didn’t even receive a folder of suggested services. Our pipe burst within the first week we moved in and flooded the laundry and bedroom to where the carpet had to be replaced. That got fixed with 3 weeks of being inconvenienced. The sewer manhole is bubbling with sewage to the point where huge trucks are emptying it on a daily basis. We are inconvenienced AGAIN. There is a LACK of Professionalism and Communication. I would NOT recommend this experience to anyone. ... More

So there’s a reason all the inspectors have a running joke about Lennar homes- because the blue tape walkthroughs are a joke. An entire cabinet in my kitchen is currently cracked completely in half. They installed it that way! The paint on my walls chips off if a fly lands on it. The workers are loud, messy, and lazy. There’s no standards on who they will hire as long as they do it fast, Lennar doesn’t care. My lawn is full of sunflowers from workers spitting seeds everywhere and construction trash is constantly in my yard. The “landscaping” is awful- the 3 bushes they planted are completely dead. Crunchy and dead upon arrival. The grout is unsealed & stains easily. The shower both pools up water and leaks! Yippee! My dishwasher was installed crooked so it leaks if I use it. I’m pretty sure there’s no insulation in the walls, as I removed a towel hook from the wall, the drywall crumbled and presented a huge hole where no insulation was present. It’s just… not even a cheap home by any means and you sure as heck have no quality control whatsoever. Just sucks this is the biggest purchase of my life so far and it’s worse than a manufactured home. ... More

My experience was less than average. The process is complex with limited support from the staff. It is all about closing the deal vs. customer service. I was not impressed by what I got and this was my first experience with Lennar. I will likely be NOT inclined to do business with them in the future.

The final handover team, was very rude and absolutely not professional. They treated as if we had no other options in the market, other than Lennar. I will share my experience with my fellow home buyers so that they can be prepared. Your ground staff needs to be trained.

Buying this house was a huge pain. The builder routinely tried to lie to me about things and used dirty tricks to try and rush me through the process. I had to fight very hard with them to resolve problems that should have 100% been their responsibility. I am still struggling with the builder to get them to repair things that they screwed up. Aside from them rushing me through getting my new home inspection, they also moved up my closing date by a month without proper notice. I was originally going to close on 03/28 (which was signed the first week of February) per the contract but had my closing date moved to 02/28 after I was under contract because they claimed it was a typo. The communication was absolutely terrible and they dragged their feet on every one of their responsibilities (including the underwriting which did not get finished until the middle of the day on closing despite them having all their documents for 2 weeks). During underwriting, they asked for documents that were impossible to come across such as bank statemens for the current month. The only truly amazing service I received during the home-buying process was with the Loan Officer, Chris. Chris always called me back in a timely manner and never lied to me. ... More

The worst new home buying experience I've ever had. The service level is the lowest I've ever seen. It's like buying a double-wide at Walmart.

Going through the loan application process was horrible. Very unfriendly to people without a realtor. Rude and not helpful or responsive to questions. Given no information on this community on how to handle utilities, HOA etc. Person doing the house walkthrough gave misinformation multiple times on how to do things. I was told by two different people that they get me a list of paint used on home, nothing. Overall it was not a good experience.

The total experience with Sales person, title, inspection were bad. In order for Lennar to be great company to trust, the ground work from. Sales and other areas should be good but my experience was very disappointing.

The underwriting process was a complete mess. My close date had to be moved because of this. The underwriter and processor were so difficult to work with, I got approved a day before closing. The processor would not answer calls or emails and would keep requesting for the same document even though it had been uploaded multiple times. She would not call to clarify or nothing. The people in the office gave me a hard time, they were no help in getting the mail key and kept referring me to usps. I had to report the matter to higher ups to get the mail box issue fixed. Since moving in, I have had terrible red ant issues, the house is not properly sealed and red ants be coming in the house through the cracks in the wall/foundation. I have had to get pest control to come spray the house exterior and interior. The back of the gas burner had a massive hole that was not properly sealed and this was another entry for ants. The baseboards were not properly sealed too and ants were coming out of baseboard/trims and I had to seal them myself. I can imagine the amount of damages the ants will do behind the trim. The only good thing about the house is the amount I paid for it, everything else is just below average. ... More

After our 3rd party inspection the construction super assured us all of the items would be addressed by closing inspection. Half were not. It took weeks for him to address the deficiencies after closing. I had to contact him multiple times to have the repairs addressed. One item is a tilted roof vent. The construction inspector contacted the roofing company and they said, "It is good enough." I expected Lennar to hold their contractors responsible for quality workmanship and fight for the home buyer. They did not. Every time I pull in the driveway I see the tilted the roof vent and it makes me frustrated with Lennar for how they handled it. ... More

Very poor craftsmanship.A few things already broke and we've only been in a little over a month. They stated that certain repairs had been done when they didn't. Poor materials used. Very poor roof craftsmanship. At closing they only gave us an envelope with a few papers instead of a full packet with copies of everything. 2 months in and we still don't know how to pay our HOA. No one ever informed us. Their new home orientation process is horrible. They don't do blue tape, instead they have to take pictures of everything which takes forever. Overall just not a pleasant experience.

The home was dirty when I moved in. It took me forever to unpack because I had to clean before I started unpacking and clean as I went along. The baseboards were filthy. The paint job was really sloppy. I’m still cleaning up paint spills and splatters off the vinyl plank flooring. Also having to touch up paint on the walls and baseboards. Communication skills were poor not only with customers, but amongst yourselves.

Poor quality material, I requested a paper copy of the HOA bylaws, I was told by the HOA that LENNAR Title should provide that to me. Traci ignored all my calls regarding that. When I purchased my home from first Texas the HOA package was given to me on the day of closing. Money ain’t everything, no one cares about customer satisfaction
