Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Great house. And excellent space

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have met John. His professional, kind attitude and understanding of what we were looking for was a big blessing to us. He helped us find our forever home.

There was some miscommunication in the beginning but other than that, the purchase of my new home with Lennar went relatively smooth. Only cons: you are not allowed to make any changes throughout the building process ie, flooring, carpet color or any additional upgrades. Another major disappointment was the doorways going into the bathrooms and pantry were not wide enough for me to get through with my walker. But overall, the house I got with all the included upgrades and the price I paid was outstanding!

This was my 3rd Lennar home purchased. Sales team was great, had 3 walk thru and still incomplete. (Just did the problems myself). The building team needs improvement. My other 2 Lennar homes where fantastic and was treated very well. I have pics from the 3rd party inspector that will shock you. Thanks for listening.

Good price for a new home!

It was an average experience the whole way through. Throughout the process plan to experience slow response time to questions you may have and since there are several people working with you it will take longer to find the right person to actually the question. Problems due get fixed and questions will get answered it just takes longer than expected. Interior and finishes are fair. You can tell some install and items were rushed and quality is not the best. Overall it is good price for the size of home.

Everything is working great now. Warranty Team is great. Feels like home, Thank you.

I had some issues with having minor issues resolved during the walk through. Places where I put tape were removed and not repaired. Complained on numerous occasions only to get push back each time.

It's a decent home.

Home was half way built when I found it. Weekly checkups i saw good work. On final walk found mainly drywall issues and one foundation issue. Both fixed before move in. On move in found the internet cables in the wall were not connected and the back porch light wouldn't work. Lennar had light fixed on a warranty claim in a week. I had to fix the cables, the guys lennar sent out didn't know how to fix. About a month in the garage door came off track. Lennar had the installer out within a week and fixed. Your milage may vary, but so far nothing but positives to say about Lennar as a builder. ... More

At first Lennar seems like a great company to work with. That quickly disappears once they have you under contract. They expect everything under the sun from you at a moments notice. Yet, when you have questions or concerns they take their sweet time. There were a lot of small issues we found during our new home orientation. They had 8 days to fix them yet most of them were “fixed” during the final walkthrough. We are mostly happy with our home but I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. It was a stressful experience.

Take time to inspect the property before you move in.

Toook a long time for everything

The overall process was very easy. Everything was pretty much done online at the convenience of own time on my phone such as the closing documents was done on my phone, so that was pretty neat. I would honestly say that these homes are built very cheap. The materials and labor that go into the home can be so much better. It’s like they are instructed to get the cheapest materials possible for everything that goes into your home but charge the homeowner an arm and a leg for the mortgage. Other than that, my Collier home is a pretty decent home for a couple or very small family.

The home buying process went very smooth from start to finish.

The process of buying the home was not a smooth purchase at all. Our Lennar rep put us in a bind even though we had brought up the issues in advance. The construction crew left a mess on the exterior so I was having to pick up paneling boards and other materials that were left behind. I wear braces on both legs so struggled to bend over to pick up heavy paneling. They did not level out the top soil before putting the sod down and we had asked for this. We were told a cleaning crew would clean the interior but on the day we finally got our keys, the house was still dirty. Paint and glue stains were left on the floor. Overall, bad experience for my family and I. ... More

Too many different people involved in the process and a lack of accountability. Move in items were not completed timely and still finding issues.

1. We expected Lennar would install top soil and follow SAWS guidelines when planting it, as Paul Canyon is served by SAWS. Instead, in less than 48 hours, our grass died although we watered it following SAWS rules. 2. Lennar sales representative sold us the house assuring us that the sod would be planted to the fence and later we found out that was not the case. She either misinformed us or plainly lied.

This has got to be the best team at getting you in and settled. Everyone is happy and willing to help, that is until they give you your house keys. That’s when Lennar shines!

The most frustrating home buying process I’ve experienced. The mortgage team continuously sent documents for signature with errors, and when pointed out repeated said to just sign them as they were only for underwriting and we’d just be signing them again later with different info. Very uncomfortable process. I was still resigning corrected papers a month after closing that I had pointed out previously and told to not worry. They also rarely responded to questions without multiple attempts for info, but were always in a hurry to have documents returned immediately regardless of the time of time they were sent to us. The sales liaison was also less than helpful and was somewhat misleading in the process. We bought while out of state, and were sold the promise of a wonderful community center and amenities that our somewhat high HOA payments would be going towards. At every chance when we asked about the status of the amenities, we were ignored. Once in the area we discovered they had not started the actual plans or construction for this yet. Not until closing day did we get the response that the amenity center would not be ready for at least another year. This is a large selling feature for most new developments in the area, and this turns out to be the only community putting it as a last priority. There are almost 100 houses already finished as well and no ground even broken for the center. This makes the neighborhood feel even more like just living in a construction zone rather than a new community. It’s also hard then to understand what our HOA fees are actually paying for? They do not come off as building a community at all. Most importantly, the worst part has been dealing with the construction team. The quality of care for our new home is very substandard with zero accountability. They did not ensure having utilities on for the home for a 3rd party inspection, and they blamed the inspector despite our prior and detailed coordination (and the inspector checking in with the office), so we were not able to check any electrical or HVAC items in the house. During the orientation walk thru we went through more than 3 rolls of blue tape due to poor craftsmanship throughout the home, and a painter just kept walking around removing it behind us until we noticed and stopped them. Eventually we moved in with multiple electrical issues present, cracked window frame, faulty lights, paint on carpets, unfinished work, uncorrected cosmetic blue tape items throughout the home. And worst of all, the construction team completely abused the use of our home while we were away directly upon closing AND after. On closing day, I entered my home for the first time to find workers sitting in my home eating their lunch. I kicked them out and notified the Construction manager but nothing happened. We travelled out of state right after, and came back to a home that was left unlocked (they had to change the door after we moved in as the one prior was uneven and they didn’t ensure locking the house!), and there was clear evidence workers had been in the home to use the bathroom as well as changed out materials for use in another home (a damaged door was newly installed on a closet where a good one had been and random pieces of window trim were lying around that weren’t there at closing). Again notified the manager, again all apologies, but no change as the very next day the workers continued to plug power tools into our outside outlets for their use. The plumbing ended up clogged as well as a result of workers flushing loads of wipes while using our home as their bathroom when we were gone or before closing. The sod was also laid very poorly with issues found in the irrigation system, with no communication with us or response to our concerns during or after the process. So I fixed the irrigation myself, but am still left with a lawn that was laid with large patches of holes throughout. If I don’t have to involve them in fixing things anymore, I don’t as there’s no trust. There is no oversight over the workers in the community it seems. Only one saving grace is a single customer care rep named Ken who still fights for us to get our issues fixed. He alone seems to keep the team mildly accountable at least for warranty repairs. This all sounds like a lot of complaining, but it’s been a seriously frustrating and overall unacceptable process for what was supposed to be a wonderful new home experience. I can’t recommend enough against Lennar in Brookmill. Hopefully corporate management tracks the mismanagement and waste in this community and changes things. ... More

Home looks fine, but sloppy builds. cabinets are not leveled, cabinet door rubs against base when opening, a lot of edges need caulk as there’s small cracks, paint thinned/cracks on top of walls. Tons of smaller details. No window screens, no fans, and little things they can do to improve. Overall good experience, but could definitely step it up for a better review!

Everything to start of has been a nightmare The only quick part of this process is the finance team Quick to take your money Once you get into your make sure you do the walk through with an inspector and agent I thought I could do it myself since I have history in real estate but no as I moved in to my so called “move in” ready home issues after issues kept coming It’s now been over a month and still issues happening to my home From foundation cracking Loose and broken frame inside roof Consistent gas leaks Very dirty home from cabinets being full of dirt due to no sod Caulking issues all over inside and outside Holes on your outside walls and mix of paint used They plant dead sod on your lawn and not even placed correctly Speaking of sod which is grass No sod on your home until you moved in and be ready to deal with the muddy rainy days and having to walk around everything And if you have a dog man it’s a hassle. To cut this long story short Please please please yes Sarah carpenter please the song Please come with your own inspector as that’s the only way stuff will get done at lennar at Navarro ranch ...

It was not clear who address your issues to because I was constantly told that’s not my department. I didn’t have a pleasant experience with financial group with Lennar. It’s an unwanted experience for me and I am glad it’s behind me.

- Quick to answer questions and address concerns - Available to fix issues promptly - Responsive to needs and provided timely solutionsHere's a summarized version: "Issues with home buying process: - E-closing process was awkward and difficult to navigate - Charged for rush documents despite no request from me - Maintain lawn during water restriction phase, resulting in high water bills

Overall Homebuying experience with Lennar has been a "nightmare". First they would not put in the right outside light like "every other house" on my street has, they told me there was a blue print change but if you go through the neighborhood you will see that my house and only 1 other has NO outside light like all the other houses. Then the gas leak that I had to find and had to have the gas company come out to fix. Then the water is running and the water company is charging me an arm in leg because the metor was broke. Now the sprinkler system is leaking and Lennar keeps sending out workers that DONT speak english to fix but its still an ongoing problem.............the list just keeps going. Oh and I am disabled so go figure!!!!!!! ... More
