Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Dishwasher was leaking and Lennar couldn’t help because it was an appliance. Had to go through GE and their insurance company, very annoying situation when I have a brand new home.

The builders of our home didn’t really take pride in their work. Door latches do not engage properly, outside siding nails created problems both for cable installation, and with water heater pipes. Lennar is short staffed so getting issues fixed or repaired before closing was problematic

Happy with the affordability, we love our new home. As a homebuyer the process was good, we were able to complete all of our tasks with guidance from the Lennar team. We did have to advocate for our home in regard to "quick workmanship" and materials being overlooked. Construction materials were left in the plumbing, water heating, and cooling nozles were painted over, the floors have lifted/chipped pieces, with smudged with adhesive from installation, plumbing, and cabinet materials were missing, and the exterior of the house has built-up mortar on the concrete, and much of the caulking and texture was completed with a sloppy look. We are happy that Lennar is able to provide work orders on discrepancies we find in the home. We were contacted by many different Lennar team members with tasks, who would give us different information, we learned we needed to track who we spoke with and document everything in a paper trail. We wish it was just one person we work with who collaborates with the rest of the team because it felt overwhelming to have to turn the same documentation in to too many different Lennar team members. The Lennar realtor showed us the house, and that was the end of our experience with them, our personal realtor worked above and beyond to ensure our closing was as smooth as possible. Our closing date was delayed due to material not being available by about a month, which put us in a temporary bind, but Lennar was able to compensate for the inconvenience. We're pleased with our home layout, value, and assistantship. ... More

During the process of purchasing my first home, it all started off really well. Once it started getting closer to the final close out date, I began having issues with the construction team. The first instance that occurred was me finding a crack pipe in the guest bathroom. Then there was a lot of rescheduling due to them leaving the house dirty and muddy. They also snapped my AT&T Fiber Cable when they were laying dirt for sod and failed to take accountability for it. So many instances that piled up on one another, but at least the finance team made up for the inconvenience of the Construction Team. ... More

We wish there was more support and clarity from the staff for various milestones. On closing we didn't get to experience anything special about our repeat purchase with Lennar.

Communication is key, we had some and then we didn’t. Although the process of providing paperwork was painful, it got done. As a veteran, there should be more support on the process on getting you tax exemptions submitted. After purchase, I want to commend Travis who has made the post sale awesome. Always ready to help resolve issues that come up. You should do something for him. A raise,or promotion?

We bought our Lennar home recently, we did the blue tape walk through yet most of what we taped off was never taken care of. We were told that the paint on our windows would be gone as well and that we would get the extra screens we were missing which didn’t happen until recently paint still there and the screens don’t fit. We have had some issues with the way our laundry closet was set up by the builders we put in a ticket and the plumber who came out flat out said he wouldn’t take care of it even though it was their company that messed it up. We also had some flooring lift up and two kids came in with gorilla glue and “fixed” the flooring… a few issues have been fixed but for the most part it’s been a joke none the less. I’m thankful for our home and the price we paid just dissatisfied with the way Lennar handles things. ... More

The process was fine except for the closing date being pushed so many times i almost lost hope. But that kind of thing is expected.

I absolutely love my tiny home! Of course there will always be issues because it’s a new build. Just a few things… 1. The fire alarms are way too high to reach even with a ladder. My father got up on a ladder and he could barely touch the one in the living room. 2. I love the lighting in the house however can’t reach them to replace the bulbs and apparently I have to rent a certain tool to take off the cover so I can replace the light bulb. 3. The grass, I have a long backyard. I only got 20 ft from the back of the house that is covered with grass. The rest of my backyard is bare with dirt and weeds. That’s unattractive. 4. The standing shower could have used a few more feet, on all sides. 5. What’s with the virtual repair. I totally get help training the home owner to be self sufficient but if the house is under a one year warranty I expected a little bit more than virtual repair. The repairs are quick, but because of the virtual part it lengthens the repair process within days. Other than that! I love my tiny home. ... More

I felt like there was a lack of communication between title company and construction manager, and sales person, I was off and left wondering who was going to contact me regarding closing and final walk-through. Title company had me closing before final walk-through.

Most of the staff with Lennar is great, however communication skills on the other hand, not so good. I understand things happen, but the lack of communication was absurd. Our home was never cleaned before moving in either. Moving into a dirty home, with an infant, trying to unpack was chaotic. The builder did send the cleaners over about a week later, however when they cleaned they left tiny pieces of metal (from their scrubbers) all over my floor. Blue tape was still left in some places as well. All in all my family and I were just expecting a different outcome. The staff was friendly and helpful, the builder was informative and tried to be corrective as well. Id suggest slowing down, making sure the home is 100%, instead of rushing through just to get it done. Us homeowners can tell the difference! ... More

Lennar could become that next level company if they were "proactive" in their communication.It always seems like internal communication is poor at best so many more steps are needed to get something done than needed! Overall, Lennar builds a pretty good home but they get defensive when something needs to be corrected. It all comes down to being open and transparent, communication!!

The house is very basic, for my living situation this house is OK. The workmanship seems to get the work done ,but quickly. The house is an inexpensive house and you get what you pay for. The community is very pleasant and I am one of the first to move in to my area, but I really like it so far. My biggest complaint is the entrance and exit to my community, we need a traffic light. It takes just as long to get in and out as it does to get were you want to go.

The loan process was frustrating. They asked for paperwork the Friday before Christmas, I couldn’t get so my closing date got pushed. Then at the last minute they said they didn’t need it and set a closing date without checking with me. The title people were great and went out of their way to meet me and give me keys over the Holiday weekend. The house was not been cleaned before I moved in. Try to get things fixed is long process. It normally takes me 4-5 calls to get something resolved. It doesn’t look like a lot of pride was put into building the house. It was just put up fast and onto the next one. I get they are basic cookie cutter houses, but still… It would be nice if they would clean up the trash in the area so it doesn’t blow into the yards. Especially on those house which are completed and waiting to sell. The messy yards make the neighborhood look bad. ... More

Decente house, need extra if you wanted cozy but overall its a good purchase

Read everything that is given to you. Ask plenty of questions before you decide to buy. The walk in initial experience was awesome. The realtor was amazing. However, the most stressful time was the closing. The process was very confusing, stressful and extremely hard to get answers when you need them.

My home was delivered to me 5/almost 6 months late based on the initial expected completion date. Original completion date was mid May and the home actually was completed at the end of October. This has caused several issues for myself, I had to bring in my own cleaning services because paint marks were left on the floors and cabinets throughout the house. When completion dates would get changed no one would notify me and when I would ask why it is getting delayed, I wouldn't get answers for days at a time.

We faced some challenges right off the bat with our first pick home getting sold, literally as we were signing our salesforce documents, however in the long run we got a much nicer house with better amenities for roughly $200 more a month. After that things went pretty smoothly right up until we had to start dealing with Lennar Finance. It was extremely frustrating having to upload the SAME requested documents MUTLIPLE times, receiving incorrect cash to close amounts, & trying to get ahold of people was like pulling teeth. Also, while dealing with finance, there were mistakes made with our master shower due to build plan changes & miscommunication with the builder/contractors which ended up pushing our close date back about a week. Once all of these challenges were worked through, we finally made it to closing & it was totally pain free experience. I’d like to thank Phil, Trina, & Joel for all the help during our home buying process. ... More

The closing took so long that we rushed to move and once we were in the house we started to notice things we should not never have accepted. The walls paint has cracks almost in every room. And there is a kitchen cabinet damage. We felt like our need to move was so evident that they were not listening to our complaints. Also we were not told the internet cables were not in place. It is very important for people to know ahead of time to plan things out. We work from home and it was very inconvenient for the first weeks to find out what needed to be done temporarily.

Was able to lock in a decent rate at the beginning of summer before the rates came up. Closing date got pushed 4 times. Initial start of contract was May 1 and first closing date was mid june and got pushed to end of June then mid July and last was end of July. We love our home and Lennar was able to help with closing costs and our loan officer was very responsive with updates and good and bad news. The construction is of good quality but know that mistakes are made being at the rate they are building these homes. Blue tape everything you can before closing. Look inside cabinets and attic for cross members in the frame coming loose. Painters need pay more attention with overpainting and splashing on floors. Outside the home the lawn is coming along. Weeds can overcome your new grass if not maintained. Some of the grass was brown as they were installing it. Out of the 4 trees they planted the 2 oaks are dry and brittle and i don't think they are going to come back. Two others are surely turning green but will see come next spring. Note their is not a construction supervisor onsite ensuring plans and things are done correctly. Hope that someone besides the homeowner do a walkthrough and identify all discrepancies before hand and corrective action is taken to fix them before homeowner does initial walkthrough. ... More

On two separate occasions we were told to expect full wood flooring and NOT carpeting which was one of the main reasons for our purchase !!! Secondly we also expected to have a garage door opener and gutters! Carpeting being the main issue as this what we were sold on and promised! We have since purchased a garage door on our own and are seeking vendor for the wood flooring as well as installer to “complete “ our home !!!

Delay of house closing twice due to builder, but overall an okay experience. Customer service/support for once you are moved in has been very responsive and quick.

Build quality was pretty low. House was rushed and it shows. Home was not clean well before move. Sense move in we have been having to get things fixed. The building manager has been very nice and helpful, but does not excuse the fact that the quilty of the home was not was to be expected.

There are two out maybe six people I dealt with that knew what was going on. The title people were awful to deal with. The house is great, but can tell it is a track home with the cheaper materials used. A lot of stuff was scratched, broke, not finished when e arrived. Sloppy

I should’ve walked away and lost the 750 .00
