Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

Terrible customer service. Can’t get anyone to answer calls, still haven’t gotten my mortgage situated. Yard was done terribly.

Where should I start.. From start to finish it has been a NIGHTMARE…BTW Lennar Mortgage is the WORST EVER !!! #NeverAgain. #Run

The experience was not really good did not keep us updated with the home, and closing was a mess.

If I could give no stars I would. From the second we filled out an application, the rest of the process went lower than rock bottom. We spoke to our finance person (Mary Jo) ONE time and that was after calling/emailing numerous times. I finally reached out to Ali (man in the model home) letting him know that we have been trying to get ahold of her with no call back. This happened several times as we did have questions along the way because Mary Jo NEVER updated us on ANYTHING. The one time she did talk to us she rushed us off the phone stating she was very busy. Ma'am we are all busy, so you saying my 6 figure house application to help your company doesnt matter? yea, ok. We really wanted this house and thats the only reason we proceeded. Ali was well aware of our frustrations through out the entire process. Finally our house was done being built and our FISRT walkthrough came up which went well. Of course, SOOOOO MANY missed things on the painters part, flooring, and cabinetry. There were several places that were not painted...at all..did not even have texture on them. Pieces of vinyl flooring did not touch each other leaving concrete underneath exposed. When we asked about it to the construction manager, Bart, he said there is nothing they can do about it. The cabinetry had several and noticeable scuffs and scratches on them. They said the painters can touch them up. about a month prior to the tentative closing date they gave we tried and tried to see about when closing would be and no one ever reached out to us. We spoke to Ali and he stated it would be a virtual closing. (made sense because our previous home was closed virtually) A week before our closing date they call us asking us if we could COME IN the next day to close. They said they dont know why they said would tell us we would close virtually. We asked for another day and they said they is the only time we can close. So now they inconvenienced us because we cannot just take off on our schedules like that without notice. We gave them a time and they said to come in and they will try to work us in. At this point, we were beyond frustrated and just wanted it to be over. We went in and never saw Mary Jo (who they said we would close with). Once we closed we went to the house to find about half of the touch ups completed. No touch ups were done on the cabinets and the paint jobs were sloppy (had drips on flooring and some spots were not painted at all). Of course we couldnt do a "Final walk through" before closing because they stated they are working on the mistakes found and no one knew when we would close. Also, Please check your fencing. They use a nail gun and on week 1 of being in the house the fence boards were coming off. We went and had to put screws in every one of them. My advice would be to use Lennar as last resort. I know these houses are thrown together over night and use different contractors for different tasks but if they would all just take their time and take pride in their work and not have someone always have to come behind them to correct their poor workmanship then they might actually have received a better review. Overall it was a horrible experience for us. Please use this review to know what to look out for so you can have a better process than us. Again, we had no choice. ... More

The worst experience of my life buying home from Lennar. Bad salesman from start to finish with little to no help , construction manager cheating and treat you like a kid, paint finish crack and final walk have to delay because no one did it from the first walk , after they touch up move in the paint dry and show crack again leaving the buyer stuck . Never never buy from Lennar

I closed on a house in a Lennar community 6 months ago. The building process was ridiculously stressful. Zac, the building manager over my home, was hard to communicate with, did not follow through on requests, left my build sitting with unfixed issues for months. Even untouched the week between my initial walkthrough and my final one. I ended up coming to my FINAL walkthrough, with several trades people actively working to fix problems WHILE I WAS WALKING THROUGH. I was asked to give them a couple of hours and come back to walk again. Zac’s lack of attention to issues, left me dealing with NUMEROUS warranty issues from the moment I moved into the home. Brooklyn, our warranty contact, has been helpful and responsive. However, the companies that Lennar are contracted with are horrendous at following through on their trades. The companies either don’t show up when scheduled, or don’t repair things as expected. Now, something that our community was promised as an incentive for living in our neighborhood (4 season-passes to the water park next door, annually) because we don’t have any pool amenities, the HOA is saying is not correct information. Why are the sales people promising buyers something if the HOA for our neighborhood is not backing that information? None of this even touches the issues I encountered with the incompetent mortgage team. Lost files, incorrect numbers, missing credits, TERRIBLE communication, and a whole slew of other problems. At this point I cannot, in good conscience, recommend LENNAR to anyone. This company seems to revolve on words of smoke and mirrors. What a terrible way to do business. ... More

This has been the worst experience of my life. I honestly would not encourage, suggest, or promote anyone I like, know or trust to purchase a Lennar home. The quality is subpar, the responsiveness to issues is next to never as far as the repair persons actually showing up. There is no flexibility with scheduling, I had to keep taking off work trying to get things repaired in a BRAND NEW HOUSE. NIGHTMARE.....RUN! I gave 1 stars to submit the review

Workmanship could be so much better. I’ve been going through warranty for so many things when it should of been done correctly the first time.

I bought a Lennar (New Home) in 2004 and had a very good experience, but this time we were disappointed. We chose the house because of the school. Our friends warned us about Lennar. We are still working to get all fixed from Lennar. A lot they just won't. While we closed on the house, they were still working at the home, and it seems like it never ends. In 2004, the house was finished, and we could move in right away after a few paint and grass fixes. This time, the walls are not even straight. We had some walls fixed already. I am tired of looking at all and wished I picked a different house. ... More

Bad quality , even the paint and the floor .

At first it was good but after you sign and put money down, takes sales 2-3 days to call back even my realtor could not get a hold of him. The on line paperwork is a joke. The first walk thru was horrible water leaking in the wall and Lennar was just going to leave water in the wall and underneath the flooring. Paint not finished. Just got it fixed on the day of closing. Let’s talk about Lennar contractors damaged my A/C unit outside and when you send a service request in it’s poor response. Front door sagging. Closet door damaged kitchen cabinets coming apart over all just a bad experience . Will not buy a Lennar house again or will I recommend anyone else. I have learned in business that for every one bad it takes multiple goods to forget the bad , that is something Lennar needs to learn, because what Lennar advertised is not what happened ... More

Very bad all departments.

It was very poor and difficult to get answers until the deadline, I felt like I was bothering them when I didn’t understand something.

The flooring in my house was a complete catastrophic failure. Everything else was done well. The build suffered a great deal from having the flooring installed so terribly. There’s nothing that can be done to fix the issue other than rip it all out and put new flooring in correctly. It’s pretty sad. Now I have to have someone come rip it all out and do it correctly.

Our experience buying a Lennar House was a Nightmare! And 8 weeks after moving in, our nightmare continues. Trust me when I say, dont buy with Lennar, keep looking find your dream home, they crushed our dreams.

I would never recommend Lennar to any home buyer. The overall experience was so poor and this is my 4th home purchase. So many things went wrong with this home purchase from day one up until the closing day. I will NEVER buy a home with Lennar again and I would NEVER recommend them.

Communication via lender was scares - little to none The day of closing didn’t know if I was going to close or not due to lack of communication finally 2 hours after my set closing time I got a call and they told me that they were working on it and they would let me know by 5 , 5 rolled around and still nothing. The builders pushed my closing date from , 2/28 to 2/25 at the very beginning of the loan process no big deal but they didn’t communicate that with the lender so the lender thought they had more time to work my file. No only was the house not ready to close, there where things not done on the house. Both my initial and final walk where a joke as things needed to be done and on closing day when I was handed my keys i had no sod ground was not grated before sod was thrown the day after closing so the ground is uneven and feels like quicksand even to this day a month after closing (the CSR added a drain pipe to help with the water flow in the grass but we still have the unevenness and still is like quick sand , behind the back fence just drops down so when you water the dirt just washes away and we have holes under the fence line) no cabinet doors and damaged drawer (they grabbed a cracked/damaged cabinet and drawer from a different house and installed it in mine) , a giant hole in the wall in the hallway wall where a lite switch was suppose to go, so no hallway light, foundation on the side of the house was cracked and honeycombed did not look very nice on the eyes. They peanut buttered cracks in the siding when it was broke off thinking we would be okay with the look of it Just overall construction was poorly handled and done. The biggest excuse I head was DUE TO COVID. I will never recommend Lennar to anyone I know. ... More

Low quality materials used and left the finishing work undone and promised to be taken care of at time of closing but later they don't care. Keep putting work orders and they ask for phone appointments and virtual appointments but work not done and they close the tickets without completing it. Even the area manager don't respond to email sent. Really disappointed.

People from LENAR were so rude

Every step of the home buying process was horrible. From the agent, to the contractor and now customer service won’t respond to us for a month. Every single person I come into contact with from this point on I will stir away from Lennar. Between the several realtors and businesses in our realm, we should be able to reach many of your potential customers to insure they do not make the same mistake we did by choosing Lennar as our home builder.

The buyer has no say in buying a Lennar home, and getting all the details completed to have a clean built home is impossible with Lennar.

Requested my preconstruction meeting 4 times, IN WRITING, never happened. Was not able to do a pre-sheetrock inspection despite asking for one, they put the sheetrock up anyways. Had I known timelines, hence wanting a preconstruction meeting, I could have planned better. I did not meet A SINGLE person from the construction team until TWO WEEKS before I closed. Workmanship was described by A LENNAR TEAM MEMBER and my realtor as "embarrassing". They PUT THE WRONG BRICK ON MY HOME and told me, "We will give you your earnest money back but we are not fixing it.". I was one of the first to put a contract on a home in my section and the price increased significantly. If I would have taken my earnest money back I would have been doing them a huge favor, they would have sold it to someone else for $50K more than I paid. What was communicated to me from sales and what construction delivered was completely different. Do not get my started on the Construction Area Manager, I do not understand how this person even has a job. The only piece of my experience that has been decent is with Warranty repair. It would serve Lennar well to remember that buying a home is an emotional purchase and the market is not always this good. I will forever strongly discourage buying a Lennar home to anyone and everyone. What I listed here just scratches the surface of this horrible experience. ... More

I did not shop my loan to different brokers and Lennar locked me into their lender. I was moving from CA and unaware of TX real estate laws. My fault. I had to jump through hoops to get closed. The underwriter requested forms contradictory to information on Lennar’s website. Lender was not clear in communication requesting information that caused delays. Someone wrote “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and I lived it. If Lennar was the last builder on the planet, I wouldn’t recommend them.
