Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

After many emails from “concierges”, never laying eyes on any that I was passed around to, final walk through was done by Rebecca. She was nice enough but it was obvious she did this day in, day out, so was very pushy about getting done. All issues found were corrected on the spot! This is my first experience with Lennar, but not my first home buying experience. I felt like I was being herded through the process, this lady did not really care if I was happy or not. Through the entire process, first look to deciding to buy, then actually getting it purchased I was given incorrect information at times, had to reach out to whichever “concierge” I was assigned to at the time to get information on times, dates. Thankfully I had a realtor who was extremely engaged and helpful. Foreman Max turned out to be very helpful as well. ... More

I would say at first, it was very stressful buying a house and going through the process since I had never purchased a home before. To be honest, it didn’t feel like they cared much. The congratulations seemed insincere and no one bothers to ask you what it’s like to be living in the house even after a month or two. It had a lot of cosmetic and house problems, they’re too much in a hurry to get the house on the market that they miss even the biggest things that are wrong with the house like some of your roof missing. These are peoples homes. This is where they’ll be living for a long time. I think the craftsmanship and the workmanship should be vital. Other than that I really do love my home, it’s a quiet area but I feel that the house building needs to be a lot better instead of faster. ... More

The portal sucks and hard to read. The bright side was that Everlyn P was always available and super helpful She made the terrible experience of the portal easier.

The sales rep was very helpful with the entire process. My only complaint with the property is the carpet was not cleaned and the cabinets are low quality so a few corners are mashed in. I am extremely disappointed that the builder decided to add fencing to the entire community except for the first few houses were purchased. What's worse is that although different lots can vary by price, soon after I committed the price of the same model dropped by $20K.

At the start of my homebuying experience, I worked with sales rep Angel, who was terrific. He was very knowledgeable, and if he did not know the answer, he got me the answer. Angel showed me houses in four different cities around San Antonio. He never made me feel like a hassle and made it a point to help me when coming into town, as he knew I was purchasing out-of-state. When I decided to move forward with a house in Bulverde, I was told there were no sales incentives on the house because it was not included in the year-end sales event as it would not be closing by the end of the year. I was informed that this house had a closing date of December 5th. After putting my earnest money down on the house, I was told that my closing date had moved forward almost two weeks. When I voiced that this would be a financial burden as I would buy last-minute plane tickets to attend all the orientations and the closing day, I requested that we keep the original closing date of December 5th. I was then told that if I did not close by the new date they set, I would accrue fees for delaying the process. This response was disheartening. I then asked for sales concessions to help offset the additional costs I would incur due to the close of escrow moving up. I was told there was nothing Lennar could do to help assist me. I did not want to lose my earnest money or incur fees, so I moved forward with my first orientation with Brett. My initial orientation with Brett was very informative and validated my concerns. He took his time to explain and answer all my questions as a new homebuyer. I was offered the opportunity to complete my second walk virtually. My brother attended this walk, but I could not participate because I couldn't get the time off with such short notice. While the virtual walk was convenient and appreciated, it did not allow us to conduct a thorough inspection to make sure all the items from our previous walk were completed. Due to closing escrow, during the holiday season, my busiest work time, I could not go out to the house for 6 weeks from the day I close. I was disappointed when I picked up the keys and walked into my house for the first time. My back door and garage were left unlocked, allowing people to enter my home after closing. Additionally, I found dried mud on the floor and dried food remnants in my sink. As I walked through the rest of the house, I discovered that a blind was missing from my primary room, and several cabinet hinges that were initially there were missing during my walk with Brett. Upon further inspection, I noticed that things from my first walk were not completed, and additional damage to my flooring occurred after the final walk. I immediately contacted my customer service rep, Brett, to inform him of the uncleanliness of my house and other concerns. Brett told me the house does not get a detailed cleaning before closing. After expressing my frustrations and other concerns regarding the home, Brett met with me to ensure my concerns were addressed. Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed with my homebuying experience with Lennar. This not only caused me not to consider purchasing a Lennar home in the future but has also discouraged my other family members from purchasing a Lennar despite having had positive experiences with them. I would like a member of Lennar's management team to contact me regarding my concerns. ... More

Loan officer Miranda was amazing. Was told corrections were being made at final walkthrough that weren’t when we moved in. Took 2 days to get access to a home we owned without explanation. After move in warranty response is unreliable including having contractor show up at 5 pm after being home all day to say he can’t do the work. No follow up after. Loan officers are super helpful and answer all emails and questions. The home is good value for price, but some parts of the process are highly lacking in customer service.

Karina, my sales representative, did an excellent job showing me homes that matched my preferences. Brandon, one of the builders, provided a thorough explanation of everything I’d need to properly care for my home. During my home orientation, Daniel, another builder, addressed issues promptly and did a fantastic job resolving them. Unfortunately, my experience with Michael, the loan officer, was disappointing. He was dishonest during the process, and when I requested to speak with a supervisor about the matter after I verified his credentials, I saw he redirected me to one of his colleagues instead. Additionally, his responses to my inquiries were significantly delayed. ... More

No sod or fence for several weeks so needed to deal with massive mud and inconvenience since having pets needing to go outside. The house was stated to have been cleaned but it was not. The flooring has paint splatters and black marks throughout the home, inside all cabinets were filthy so unpacking had to wait until I had to clean them. Most of the Lennar workers do not speak English. The outside pavement, doors, windows remain filthy so installing screens has been delayed. Kitchen cabinets had off-set issue which was fixed by replacing with unfinished cabinets so now new ones need to be ordered and replace. Attic door in the garage was not installed flush so a new ladder door has been sitting in my garage waiting for Lennar to replace. Strange electrical issues and the list goes on. Lennar care staff has been responsive and helpful but they should not have to manage so much via warranty service requests. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Cheap is as cheap does. I had to pay to install ceiling fans as well. I love the area and did downsize from a beautiful home so it is what it is. ... More

I love my home but I feel like the purchasing experience wasn't good. The initial sales team was good and showed me the homes and features. I saw the same home listed for 25,000 to 30,000 less in the same street and I was told there was no room for negotiation. Then, once I chose the home and did the first blue tape walk, the construction team would just remove the blue tape but not fix the issues. I had to go multiple times to the house and remark with blue tape. The construction guy kept telling me they would fix the things, but next time the it was the same. Even after moving in, the same items were still open. Warranty guys have been pretty good and nice. Just the construction team needs to do better to follow up with the things to fix. ... More

Everyone I have spoken to had a bad experience with Lennar, that is a bad coincidence. "The builders try to get away with short cuts and hide things". "If you do not get your own third party inspector then your home will be put together with staples" is what I was told by an existing neighbors when viewing homes and speaking to other home owners in the neighborhood. I got a great deal on the house that is the only reason I bought it, I couldn't pass it up. The area, the builder, had nothing to do with it. I don't have anything to say about Lennar, because I wasn't worried about how they treated me, I don't need to make friends, I was concerned about the home and made sure they did it right. ... More

There was lot of unknowns after and before the Closing Process and there was no follow thru on what was discussed and agreed to during the walkthru and during the Sales Process.

They cut corners on a lot of routine things. Air conditioning not working properly with temperatures and humidity control. Told about it when had inspection but they stated that it met code. Only 1outdoor water spout. Cheap noisy garage door. Sod that was placed is dying even with watering as suggested and longer.

Towards closing, we were told Lennar would only put sod for half the yard not all the way through. This was not documented anywhere nor mentioned but the sales agent claimed he had mentioned that on the phone, which I disagree. Sales team is always aggressive to close the deal and will likely create some fear that someone else is also interested in the same house.

Lenar mortgage was not enjoyable to deal with. Had deep concerns and some issues. The utilities were a bit of a shock mostly with the water company. Our new home advisor concierge Wes, was sarcastic and not pleasant to talk too. Cell phone service isn’t good for T-Mobile I had to get a signal booster, had issues right away with AC, Sod not being installed and communication. The interior paint is flat paint and there are dribbles here and there we are still finding. Over all it’s a ok built home for the price in today’s market. I’m having a bit of a better experience now that many of the issues have been resolved. Just waiting on sod outcome in 6 weeks to make sure it turns from brown to green. The water company is outrageous for charges and usage that is the only downside with utilities. The town and the near by towns are great and the overall community is nice. The new pool and Rec center should open soon. Every detail for anything outside has to be approved by HOA but they seem lenient and approve most things. Area is quiet and family friendly and senior friendly. Lots to see and do nearby. ... More

I first started this journey about two years ago with a sales agent Consultant Diana she was real nice at first, but after I didn’t get, I didn’t receive my earnest money back until I got in contact with a sales consultant named Stephanie it took nine months before I finally got my money back thanks to Stephanie’s efforts. Later, I decided again to purchase a home from Lennar sales consultant by the name of Ray he went above and beyond answered all my questions even gave me information that I didn’t even ask for I’m a real estate agent and I felt most comfortable with him. we finally this year closed and I’m happy to be in my new home. I love it here . Although this was a very long journey and process, I’m pleased with the end result. ... More

As I said, it was a nightmare, completing the application process for financials and warranty way more stressful than it should’ve been. Belt rushed every step of the way to the point we could not read the contract.

Lack of amenities. Poor material used to build home. Have to install basic necessities in home. Indoor door handles were installed on exterior doors.

Know that you are investing in a track home - they are cranked out like pancakes - all the same, no choice, therefore there is no pride in the workers who push out the product. The warranty team does the best they can to address the shortcomings of the construction team. The biggest disappointment is the lack of cleanliness of the job site even on the final walk through. Dirt, building materials, nails, garbage, food everywhere. And it continues with completion of the next house and the next. It demonstrates a rush job and no pride in one’s work or product.

Our sales rep Karina was super helpful and respectful she was there to answer any of our questions that we had. The title guys were also very nice and helpful the walk through goat of our home was a horrible experience being first time home buyer Scott the one who led the buyer walk was pushy punching the home himself instead of attending our needs and concerns on the home. But Karina was there to ease our minds and help us get through that obstacle to continue with the purchasing process. Big shout out to Karina.

The finance part of the process was for stressful. Loan officers sending me emails on a friday evening requested me to get documnets that was need from companies closed on weekends within 24hrs. I also had to reach out to them every time for an update on my application and see what/if any other documents were needed. Other than that the process was okay. The quality of the home is good for first time homebuyer and the price.

Always have an independent inspection done BEFORE closing, especially for the sewer lines.

The finishes in the house could use some improvement. Don't ever give a Lennar subcontractor a caulk gun. they suck at this. Painting is another thing they need more practice at, after move in, i was finding so many areas where they did not use any quality control with painting and caulking.

Lack of communication and empathy from Sales team (Joe in particular), with Concierge and also with Mortgage and title. Building Team (Jose). Grateful for Mickey (Mortgage) - He went above and beyond to regain my trust and satisfaction after disappointment with Joe (Saleperson) and mortgage officer. Building Team (Jose) is excellent and extremely responsive. Closing was done remote, no excitement from Lennar Team when pick up house key at the end. No one has offer for us to take pictures, had to ask if it was ok. No engagement with new homeowner, it was very transactional.

We got a great price we love the location and the neighborhood. However the sales process had plenty of errors. The loan process had a lack of communication. Construction was clearly rushed and builder used the cheapest materials possible.

The house itself is very nice, the warranty response has been good to great. The actual buying process was.... frustrating. We were frequently told to sign paperwork affirming we'd recird documents we hadn't received, then promised we'd get them later ("it's just a formality"). When signing the initial purchase agreement we were supposed to receive the HOA covenants and bylaws, we did not get them and we're told we'd get them at closing. At closing I asked about them to be told, "no, we don't deal with thay at closing you should get them when you move in/the hoa contacts you." We still don't have them and it's been almost two months. Closing was all online, and then they tell you to drive somewhere else where they give you a manilla folder of keys and shunt you out the door in 5 minutes. Very impersonal once they've got your money. The closing cost credits were amazing and the house and Floorplan are great, and I'd recommend lennar to others, just that your expectations of interaction with lennar themselves should be tempered, people are nice, service is (mostly) good, but don't expect to feel special or valued or like you've got much of a personal connection with anyone other than your personal realtor. And Margaret. She was actually fantastic. ... More
