Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Heavily implied sod and trees would be delayed until I was able to arrive at the home. Told it would be documented. Neither happened and there was no follow up on the matter. Trees were replaced but sod left to me, which will cost me $8k out of pocket to replace. Multiple breakers keep popping and have to keep submitting work orders. Garbage disposal never worked. Dishwasher stopped working. Wasn't told there wouldn't be window screens. Multiple areas still need touch up paint. Multiple areas weren't cleaned from paint droplets. Overall feel I was taken advantage of and not properly assisted throughout the process for my first ever hone purchase. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

Lennar sales person is very nice and helpful, other workers don’t trust , When you buy a house from them before closing need to be very careful check everything if they don’t fix them you have to fix them on your own. Like my gate to backyard from day one we bought the house cannot keep closing have to use a zip tie to zip the gate not very professional job , lay dead grass and blamed you not watering it ,

Felt like the issues never got resolved and it was rushed just trying to close us on the house there’s lots of screwed up things that’s should of got fixed and now I have to do warranty work for all of it instead of it just getting done right the first time I don’t roll like that and I find it unacceptable when other people do

I feel we got good value for what we paid, workmanship and material was sub par compared to other local builders.

It was not pleasant. Overall disappointed in the process and trust me, I’ve done this many times. I will say that warranty has been much better than the sales, mortgage and construction.

Make sure you do your walk-thru!

Our Lennar rep Phil was very helpful and professional. He helped us look at our home when the realtor was unavailable. We were on a time crunch because the home had to be sold before the end of the month (18 days) in order to get the incentives being offered. We loved the home and it already had the amenities we wanted. We had the application signed and uploaded that same day. During the walk-through process, our rep Joe and Construction Manager, Taylor made all kinds of promises. "make sure to blue tape everything", "we will have everything fixed before closing". We are still finding things they did not do. Our biggest concern was the yard and landscaping. We have two dogs and wanted to get the grass installed as soon as possible. We were promised the landscaping would be installed the first week of March after we closed. They also explained the large rocks and trash debris would be cleaned up before they installed the landscaping. They also explained a 4" layer of topsoil would be installed and then the sod. We requested to be notified when this would be done because they were quick to explain the landscaping was not covered under the warranty and once it was installed it was our responsibility. We wanted to make sure they did what they promised. Well, fast forward three weeks later when they finally came to install the landscaping, after we moved into the property and had to prohibit our dogs from going into the back yard, which was red clay mud!!! They did not clean up the large rock or the trash (we picked up 2 large bags of trash from the yard before they came). They racked the dirt and started placing the Sod. I called and asked for someone to come out because this was not what we were told. Taylor came to the home and changed her story. She said they already put the topsoil - this was not topsoil, this was more red clay dirt. The escrow process was okay, our mortgage underwriter was great. The Lennar Title company was horrible and unprofessional. They required a virtual closing and we were told the closing link would be sent to us early on the closing date. I had to make several phone calls because the link wasn't there. We later found out that our closing agent "had something to do that morning and didn't come in until after 10am. She forgot to send the link the night before". Isn't there anyone else in the department that can help her? This was a big deal for us. It took another 2 hours to receive our link. They did not care that we have jobs, and we were expected to drop everything when it was convenient for them. Lennar Title was the worst part of this whole experience. We were supposed to receive our paint voucher at closing....not included. I had to fight for it for 3 weeks. I picked up my keys, which only included my house keys, no garage door openers. We were told they were left in the garage on the opener. Nothing. In fact, we don't know where they went, so we had to have the garage door opener re-programmed, and new openers provided, because some unknown person had access to our garage and house, but nobody knew who had them. The workmanship inside the home is what you would expect from a cookie cutter building company. They hire the cheapest sub-contractors to come in and "throw it together". I would think that Lennar would take greater pride in their BRAND. The first day we moved into the home, we had electric issues. We found out by their electrician coming out, the crew that did the electrical did a very poor job. 6 of the 8 outlets for the garage and exterior were improperly wired, not connected, or the wires were loose. After discovering that, we requested the electrician come back and inspect every outlet in the home. I don't need a fire risk. They found another 9 outlets inside the home with the same issues. This is careless and unprofessional workmanship. While we love our home, we did not enjoy the home buying process with Lennar. Do your research before committing to a builder. ... More

It was a Blessing in disguise

Best buy for the money. Both the house and loan. However, make no mistake, that price comes at a cost. The processes and policies have very little flexibility. Either you are on the Lennar train or you are out. I caution buyers to read earnest money agreement carefully, as it is not the industry standard and you will be held to what is in there.

Disappointed in Salesman responses of what we were supposed to get and didn’t. Then he dropped the ball onto a “concierge” who never showed up, supposedly “never leaves his desk”Crappy door locks. Dead sod put down. Broken trim. The fact that I have to put my appliances register myself. The drive in and out of subdivision is nothing but a dirt and debris from construction trucks and very muddy when it rains.

I’m grateful for the financial incentives that allowed me to get a new house. However, I am deeply disappointed in the process of getting the mortgage and the follow up on builder issues is poor. The house itself has some nice features but not built with high quality materials. The double garage is minimal so if you want some storage space you may have to decide not to use it for your cars. It’s barely big enough to fit two cars. The principal bedroom is large and the walk in closet is spacious. There’s no ceiling fans and no medicine cabinet and no towel racks.

They will fix all the big items but, it’s the little things that are going to drive you crazy. Make sure they fix all the little stuff before you close because getting them to fix stuff after you close is a mission.

After closing, I could no longer get any help. My sod was out in in such a way that I could not open my gate. I reached out to Zilkia several times and she said she was working on it. After a month, I finally gave up and had to dig up my yard myself to fix what was done wrong.

Good incentives, but the quality of the home is not great. You get what you pay for.

If you go everything lennar (mortgage,title,etc) its fast since you are only dealing with one company. But, that limits your options. Main issue, they don’t install the sod/grass until you buy the house. So end up doing the work on maintaining the initial install. watering twice daily for 2 weeks and if you miss it then you have terrible lawn. Its a learning curve for first time homeowners without lawn care experience. Specially if you haven’t move in yet, They install sod without telling you so you miss the watering days and end up with dead sod

Very dissatisfied with a few issues

Doors were never touched up before moving in, had to repaint ourselves. Kitchen cabinet is crooked. Flooring is raised in certain spots, back fence is already separating & we have only been here 1 month. For what we paid, I expected a higher quality of workmanship.

Things could have been made and done better in the home plus with landscaping and finance side.

We are new with Lennar and are thankful to finally have our family home. Took about 3 inspection dates to finally get our house approved. But once it was approved we were not told until our power went out. Since lennar was paying our electricity until the house was finished. We appreciate all that you do but would’ve liked a call once everything was finalized. So we would not have a surprise power outage. When we moved here we did not get a key for our garage door so we asked about getting a new key or a lock that matches our keys. We were told it’d be here in a few days. Well it’s been about a month and no word. Some issues with paint jobs on the walls or poor spackling jobs sealing the floors or underneath the toilets. There was spackle footprints all over the master bathroom. Our move in date some parts of the floor were already pealing or cut up. There’s a pipe sticking out of the ground in our front yard causing a tripping hazard. The driveway and walkway has splats of concrete everywhere making it look not smooth at all. Some parts of the house just look a little rushed. My only request for improvement is keeping the clients informed on any updates or changes. We pay to have a fresh new home and I understand everyone is busy and trying to get stuff done. But would you be happy with these issues to a home you just moved into? We appreciate everyone’s hard work and thank you for your time. Stay cool and god bless. ... More

Frist off my Loan officer wea great as for everyone else so disorganized there’s details in the house that we see that we live there now that are not so great tape and flows. Not so great they laid the grass they didn’t put topsoil. You could see underneath my concrete pad for my condenser AC unit outside now I have to put top soil my paint is peeling on my siding. It is so many things that should’ve been done a lot better and they didn’t do good job on

Not inform as to rate or detail of the finance and how the number were concieved

The salesmen were very helpful and walked us through everything we needed to know. When it came time for the walkthrough there were a few things that were promised to be fixed that never got done before we moved in. We have brought it up through email text and call for the past 2 months and still have had no one come by to fix the simple things they missed.

The craftsmanship is poor it took multiple times to correct issues. So frustrating to say the least. It’s a new home, it shouldn’t be so hard to have a livable home. We’re two months in and have had to have repairs done. Insane really.

The paint peals off. I have a couple doors that really need to be changed and I’ve already submitted a request and had the virtual meeting but nothing. On almost all cabinets the screws were pushed in too deeply that they cracked the wood. Almost all screws. The paint is the most disappointing because I’ll have to repaint EVERYTHING.

No happy with the way I was treated, I’m still waiting for the grass to be place and no one gives me an idea when it’s going to be installed
