Lennar charge 2% of the sale price for not closing in time. If you live out of State, Making sure communicate directly to Title Dept that you need mobile closing. Dont trust the Sale agent. I paid $4800 for this matter. It was a trap!

Bought a new home for my mother. Nice house but appraisal was far below the list price causing me to have to Mortgage insurance. The Mortgage company was horrible to deal with. Lied at every turn. Had to use an outside lender to get the deal done. Would never work with Lennar Mortgage company. Had a few cosmetic issues with the house that were fixed immediately.

The home purchase with our loan officer was great. The closing process was very disappointing. We were denied our keys after closing because of a $49.00 last minute fee by the title company. Never do business with Lennar again and will not recommend to my other investors.

Not happy with some items that were taped to be repaired in the final walkthrough. After the home was purchase still had an issue with an item that was taped for repair

Lennar has tried to automate too much of the buying process and lost customer service abilities. There was not clear expectations or communication though out the process resulting in a lot of frustration along the way.

The entire friend end process to buying a home with Lennar was a nightmare dealing with Sandra, Amanda and their manager during the process to get approved for a loan. Had to be some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Steve Renshaw was the one exception to a breath of fresh air with his knowledge and professionalism. The home itself looked great and the project manager Dan was great to deal with. Upon moving in we've noticed a few more hiccups here and there, but overall satisfied with the home and neighborhood. They respond quickly to necessary repairs or maintenance

I absolutely hated dealing with Lennar Mortgage, you kept checking my credit score which made it go lower in order to charge me a higher interest rate. Dealing with LM is like dealing with the devil. The worst experience I've had in many years.

Title side and portal are not recommended. Plus 2% commissions is just wrong

Negative experience spacial with Bonita Lerner sale representative.

This was my first home purchase, and I’m disappointed that it hasn’t been the exciting milestone I imagined. The contract and application process felt rushed and poorly explained, and the closing experience was overwhelming and rushed. Since moving in, I’ve noticed numerous issues that suggest the builder cut corners, and the overall quality of the home doesn’t reflect the high cost I paid. It feels like I’m overpaying for something that wasn’t built to last. While this is meant to be my starter home, I will never trust Lennar Builders again.

There was no hot water when we moved in, the washing machine didn't work. The dryer was tripping the breaker, which needed to be replaced. The front door entrance was poorly designed, causing you to get drenched from rain, making it virtually impassible. We requested several times for the front door area to be power washed from excessive dust, it never happened! Stay on top of Lennar for these types of things. That said, they did respond fairly quickly to address most issues. We will have to come out of pocket to fix the rain/front door issue.

Extremely Disappointed with Lennar – Unorganized, Misleading, and Frustrating Experience: My home buying experience with Lennar has been nothing short of disappointing. From the start, I encountered numerous inefficiencies, misinformation, and poor communication—and unfortunately, these are just a few examples among many. 1. Incompetent Lending Process: Lennar outsources its underwriting process to a foreign country, which caused serious delays and inefficiencies. The loan officer provided confusing and inconsistent instructions regarding debt payoff in order to qualify. I was told to cut a check to the titling company, who would then issue a check to my creditor—which I had to physically deliver. This convoluted process ended up failing because the creditor couldn’t accept the check due to a mismatch in payment requirements. It was evident that the loan officer lacked a full understanding of the process, eroding any trust I had in Lennar’s in-house lending team. 2. Multiple Pushbacks on Closing: Despite having ample time, my loan officer failed to prepare necessary documents in time, resulting in several closing date delays. Each delay was incredibly disruptive and costly on my end, yet there was no accountability from Lennar. 3. Broken Promises from the Builder and Sales Rep: I was pressured into signing off on incomplete items just to meet their internal closing quotas—with the promise that these items would be finished post-closing. After closing, the construction MANAGER essentially disappeared and became unresponsive. Additionally, the sales rep misrepresented several features of the home, including the sprinkler system and a Wi-Fi-enabled garage, both of which were non-functional or nonexistent. The contract also listed a smart home key, which I never received. 4. Unresponsive Concierge Service: Lennar’s concierge was virtually useless. I was never informed that my first walkthrough was cancelled. I showed up expecting the walkthrough, only to find no one there. I didn’t even receive an email or phone call. The rescheduling wasn’t even addressed until three days later, showing a clear lack of professionalism and coordination. ⸻ Bottom Line: Buying a home should be exciting—not filled with stress, delays, and mistrust. Lennar failed to meet even the basic standards of customer service and communication. Not to mention the poor quality for the price paid. I would not recommend them to anyone considering a new home. Proceed with caution. ... More

Lights blinkers, washers not working, and no water coming out of kitchen faucet.

Emphasis more on getting the contract signed without proper inspection and taking responsibilities for resolving client's issues. My property had a number of poor finishes and uncompleted snag list of items. This was left for me to arrange post move-in. In addition, I had electrical issues which I was not adequately supported for resolution even though this was a know issue according to the electrical engineer who later fixed the issue. I still have issues to be resolved once I have time to organize it. My experience was a terrible one and would not like it to be repeated.

This is my third Lennar home, and to be honest, if it weren’t for my commitment to the Next Gen model, I wouldn’t have purchased from Lennar again. The lack of customization options and the smaller yard compared to my previous homes have been quite disappointing. I’ve also experienced several warranty issues. While they are typically resolved quickly, the quality of the repairs seems to have declined in recent years. Additionally, my assigned sales representative has been unresponsive, and it’s been nearly two months since I moved in, and I still haven’t received a mailbox key which is now supposed to come from the sales office ...

This was a horrible home purchase experience. It was hard to get a person to call you back. We had to do a virtual closing and it was awful, the first person we called at the Virtual Closing hung up on use when we didn't get connected fast enough. Then we had to find someone at Lennar who could tell how to get back into the Que since this was already paid for by Lennar. We couldn't ask any questions because it was just the notary on the call. Horrible. After we got moved in our air conditioner did not cool! Lennar has you scan a code if you have any problems and that called us back to help us was rude. The air conditioner had a leak in a coil. It took 3 trips from the air conditioning company to finally be repaired. There are a few minor problems in the house but don't want to call and have them fixed due to the unwillingness of the person we had that received the service request not being helpful! ... More

I have always thought highly of Lennar until now. The purchasing experience was very stressful and the whole process was disconnected. The sale agent, Trisha was very unprofessional and stopped all communication with me after I signed the contract to purchase the home. The original finance officer, Sandra transferred me to another finance officer without notice and that is when it became extremely confusing because the numbers changed and there was no clear explanation. Construction team was a hit and miss, some were great; others; not so much. The only team that made it bearable was the customer care staff. They were actually the only people that were professional and willing to assist. ... More

Sales disappeared. Grass conditions are bad and customers are left with high water bill to fix dead grass

It's a good community when you build your house try to keep the engineers who they are when you move them around there are a lot of differences in the construction of the house so there is a lot of irresponsible behavior from your engineers and to this day I still haven't got the key to my garage door key missing. Also I didn't get any painting code or color code for the inner wall. You didn't give this at the time of closing. You engineers don't know. After asking, they showed me with open arms. So I can't even go to the paint shop and get a sample of it. When you made the concrete base, it would have been much better if you had put a little more concrete in the width and length of the step of the back door that goes outside the house. If I hire a local contract now, how many dollars will he charge me? It is because of the difference in your one job that Homoners have to spend so much money. It's just that, I'm not happy anyway ………. ... More

John did not take my third party inspection report seriously. He brushed everything off and basically told me that this was not going to be a "perfect" house. Even for a new build, this house had a ridiculous number of imperfections and I was rushed into closing. Even after moving in, I have submitted over 4 warranty claims, and the Lennar representative just tells me that everything is not covered. I have a garage door that doesn't close, an A/C unit with a bad filter after less that 60-days of move in, and so many more issues. Not pleased with Lennar cutting corners and not taking customer concerns seriously both before and after move-in. ... More

Things pointed out on walkthrough were not fixed. Payment is 25 % more than quoted at closing, fencing had to be redone by myself and 3 neighbors.

I have purchased 4 homes throughout my 42 years of life and this was by far the worst experience. The communication is poor when it comes to consistency amongst all parties involved. If I had 8,000 to waste, I would have walked away from this home just based on Lennar staff. The organization was poor, timelines felt unorganized and pressured. The quality is not the best. I can hear everything that goes on outside and next door. They don't even provide window treatment for the many windows in the home. I could go on and on about the negatives, but it's not worth my energy. I'm just glad it's over. I wish I would've joined the Lennar FB groups before buying. Those complaints are valid and it's shameful. ... More

The sales person for my home was horrible. Had no clue what she was doing. Numbers were all over the place every single day. The mortgage and title people were nice though. But, no one ever gave me the exact breakdown of how much my payments were. Totally unacceptable. In fact, I am probably going to sell my house.

More training needed between lennar mort and the sales team. Different options and incentives were originally offered until signing then withdrawn
