Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

Sales rep was super pushy and almost lost the sale. I had to fix several plumbing issues myself after moving in. Kitchen sink had no hot water. Also shower head in master was leaking. Turns out it was cross threaded and I had to replace shower arm. Interior was swarming with fire ants. Luckily an exterminator was available to come out the next day. I understand this is common but Lennar should hire an exterminator to prevent this even if they need to recommend continued service after sale. Interested to see how house holds up in a hurricane; rafters look like they were thrown together by a greenhorn with no supervision. Could have got a comparable home for less money from another builder and it would have had a sprinkler system. ... More

Overall, I had a good experience with Lennar. However, I felt like I was just a number. This was also my first time ever purchasing a home. So nothing felt personable or anything. Because Lennar is such a large builder and they have so many clients, I felt like a a dollar sign to them. The financing and sales people have this demeanor about them thats like okay, we just want the money. We dont care if you are having any anxiety about anything. We wont be lenient to your feelings about making probably the largest purchase of your life. We just dont care cause we got others who are willing to buy. I had the worst closing experience ever as well. Since I was a first timer, I felt like things werent readily explained to me either. Like I received an email saying that I owed more money than I already paid. I also was told to be at closing at a particular time and that I HAD to be on time because they had others that were closing as well. I asked if I coukd schedule my closing for later in the day and I was told No i couldnt because they has SOO many people closing. I got there about 20 minutes early, took time off work and then waited for over an hour to sign documents, even though I was told to be on time, but yet my papers were not. So, again, I just felt like a number lost in the system. I am glad I have a new home and I love it, but everything I went through trying to get it just put me off Lennar. ... More

Very hard to get in touch with anyone for any questions, I called the concierge and was told will call back but when I called back to ask regarding the issues then no one pick up the phone. The construction team are great, very thorough walk through, but customer service team are very unhelpful, by the way I closed out my home a month ago and still don’t have a mailbox keys, and still waiting for someone to get back with me regarding because I can’t get in touch with anyone.

The AC was not working when we moved in. We did not get internet services for one month from the day we signed. There is a septic truck outside the house every second day. I am not sure if this home is connected to the city sewerage system . Other minor issues need not be mentioned.

Issues with A/C and people digging in our front lawn to connect power to the electrical box in our backyard with no explanation. They also used a ladder to enter our backyard with no permission nd left a pile of dirt in front of our house for a week. Our lawn was dug in so we’re not sure if they’ll fix the lawn damage.

Inexperienced but enthusiastic and sweet personality

My home buying experience was traumatic and stressful. I’m told by other home buyers that that’s just the way it is. I don’t see why. I’m blessed to have my home since it happened because of Hurricane Beryl but the endless questions (many I answered more than once), the paperwork asked for at unreasonable times of day and night caused me anxiety. In the end, my happiness in buying my first home was overshadowed by exhaustion and relief. Fun fact; I learned that TX homes don’t automatically come with shutters (I just paid for that, it affects your foundation in the long run but it’s on the homeowner). They also saw no need to give towel racks and I’m missing a closet shelf on purpose (I have to install my own if I want one.) Did I mention I’m tired? ... More

Overall home is OK. Nothing that makes them stand out above other area builders. We liked the floor plan over other builders options. Utilizing Lennar mortgage was a nightmare.

In a 2400 sqft house, lennar provide only one sink in master bedroom and their original design is questionable. Plus using wood floor instead of tiles in all bathrooms. Only one Ethernet connection in the whole house which is only in living room. The room facing main road has only one small window in lennar wildflower II collection in Marigold elevation B plan. Overall plan for marigold is really good. And spacious. Bath tub size is too small to fit in secondary bathrooms. These are all small design changes that gives more satisfaction if it were included in original plan.

Overall I like my home but not happy with windows, Shelves.

Felt like I was being rushed once paperwork were required of me but when I wanted answers it took longer to get them. If I had to do it all over again, I would have hired an outside inspector from the initial concrete pour until final inspection.

When we first moved in to our home a few months ago, half the grass was dead, the tree in the front yard was dead, there was trash everywhere, and they did a horrible job painting the inside. There was zero prep work done to the ground before laying the sod down, and I witnessed this as I saw them do the neighbors. They left their bottles and trash and rocks in the yard and threw the sod on top of all of it. Other neighbors have stepped on pieces of metal in the yard. THIS IS A LAWSUIT IN THE MAKING. If one of my children were to have stepped on any of the junk I found in the lawn, it would not have even a good situation. Not to mention they didn’t pull any weeds before starting so now my grass is 80% weeds. I’d rather have done it all my self because I’m doing more work to fix it than it would have been to do it right the first time. I know dozens of others in the neighborhood feel the same way. Also, they used one layer of the cheapest paint possible inside. If you get any dirt on the wall and try to wipe it off, it wipes the paint off with it. So we have to paint the entire house because after 2 months of being here, there’s spots where paint is missing because you can’t properly clean it. There’s also paint splatter all over the floors and it’s caked up on door hinges. I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy a Lennar starter home unless you do the landscaping yourself and ensure they do a good job painting and clean up after themselves. ... More

My whole process was very fast. Within the short period however, the loan process was very frustrating. The loan officer was difficult to reach at times plus some of the people who were working my loan lived in another time zone, making it even harder to communicate/connect with. The person who initiated the homebuying process basically disappeared after I put my down payment down. As a first time homeowner, I feel like the experience could’ve been way better.The house overall was nice until I moved in and experienced 2 roof leaks from the sealant being broken. Though it was quickly fixed, I believe as a new house there shouldn’t be a problem with the roof but then again they build the houses very quickly! ... More

My Lender expereince sucked. Barely was able to get in contact with Rich W. Would have liked to have more interaction with him being that I was a first time homebuyer! Other than that, the construction team was helpful and friendly. I will probably not use Lennar as a Lender in the future.

Neither bathroom came with any towel hangers, when sink, bathroom and shower normally have one. We are willing to forego the missing top bathroom cabinets. Pavement to the front door has a couple of holes exposing inner wood. We are still very happy with the new house, but the above needs attention.

The experience was ok. The communication from our loan officer and the representative to help us buy the home was absolutely terrible. Did not explain the process to us at all and our loan officer would randomly email us at night and tell us we had to have the email responded to by the next morning. We felt in the dark all the way up to the day we were buying the house. We had no idea how much money we needed for closing and it was a very stressful time. Lost quite a few nights of sleep over stressing over our purchase. The builder and warranty lady were a pleasure to work with. But the loan officer and representative were terrible. Not very responsive or great with communication. ... More

Initially it started out wonderful. However, once I decided to purchase and made my deposit, the communication went bad meaning I had to four people emailing me to send them the same info. I had to include all four of them in an email asking why don't they communicate with each other. I had the mortgage person, the mortgage assistance person, the realtor and the assistant of the assistant emailing me. The next thing was emailing me last minute for information I already send but they claim they did not get it or it was sent to the assistant who did not send it over to the mortgage person. Then the assistant asking me for letter from my job needing a specific date of me moving in. It was a mess. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. ... More

The buying process was very bad. Communication issues, not reasonable demands, lots of uncertainty... it was very stressfully to me and my wife. The company retains the whole process, from mortgage to title, insurance. I was expecting more in terms of building quality. The soundproofing is very questionable. Outside noises specially but also internal noises from baths can be heard all over the house, something that was not an issue in my older houses and apartments. The small issues were fixed after some weeks.

I would love to give Lennar 5 stars but my experience over several months with “one bad apple” sales agent Monica left Such a bad taste. I hope that if you chose to Buy Lennar you have a better sales experience because once you get to work with builder Justin and Tom they give you a 5 star experience. Quality should be their last names.

The price is good for anyone want to own house, but the quality is lowest

All mortgage documents are done online which makes it an easy process and accessible for future needs. However, dont expect a quick answer or one at all if you have any questions regarding your mortgage. I noticed a lot of finishing mistakes (nail pops, nail holes, no caulking, paint overspray) in the house that were pointed out during the walk through but never fixed. Overall good experience.

Seller told us that all houses came with a garage door opener. Nope. HVAC system was leaking the first two months, during weeks of 100+ degree heat. Buying process was a nightmare.

My sales associate Kasey was awesome and super helpful! The home itself is ok as far as workmanship goes, you can clearly see the building crews have no cares about the quality of work when building the homes.

The loan officer I worked with was great, and his assistant was a problem. Others on the mortgage team were good too. Many of the fixtures in the house are of very poor quality: toilets, faucets, etc. The stairs into the attic are a REAL PROBLEM. You have to get 10 feet up on a ladder to even reach the attic ladder, and then you have to pull so hard that falling is a real danger.

Would have liked to have had more flexibility in making minor changes.
