Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

I can't speak on craftsmanship after only owning the house for 2 months time will tell. But while in process of purchasing the house I worked with Aurora, as my mortgage agent. The amount of incompetence I experienced was astonishing I had to resend the same documents 4 or 5 times I can only assume because she didn't read my whole emails. Even after the house was closed I had issues with her threatening me legally because I stopped responding until I finally had to break down the math myself to show this "expert" how bank accounts work the threatening emails and letters have stopped for now I assume she finally figured it out. I am a real estate investor that was looking to buy another house in this neighborhood but my experience in the purchase of this house has made me look elsewhere ... More

The house itself is a tragedy, the longer I live here the more horrible things become apparent regarding the "quality" of these homes. Wiring -Ask about the wiring, because they will skimp out on it if able. They use 14 guage wiring throughout most of the house where they could, so hope you don't like gaming on a pc or two cause good luck with it not tripping the breaker every so often. -Want to mount stuff in your garage? Good luck with that! They have wires running every which way through almost every stud of 2 of the 3 walls making most of the space useless! They never heard of cable manage meant I guess. -Oh also pray that they even put all the wires in! Inspector missed it somehow but there was no wire connected to the outlets in the island so no power! That took a week to get resolves. Effort in building -It becomes super apparent how quickly they put these houses up and how little experience and skill the workers have when it comes to building. -Discovered a hole in the drywall that was painted over with the piece that was broken off, barely pressed it and it fell in between the wall. -They painted around the extra pile of bricks they gave you for the front of the house, which was so insulting and lazy -They didn't paint over the drywall holes they filled in until I told them to, if I hadn't I'd have these off colored circles around my house -The workers don't know how to mount things into studs or use drywall anchors, Mt bathroom had the towel racks just raw dogged into the wall with no anchors and not into studs even though the rack was 16in long. Like I don't do this type of work at all but even I know that. -They forgot to put a backflow converter in the sprinkler system which I should have taken pictures of and documented cause that is very illegal!! -There is a quarter in gap between the dry wall and garage floor with nothing filling in the gap like trim or just putting the dry wall flush -They get these "special" brand of windows that aren't much better than regular ones and come to find out, the company makes their windows non standard so you have to go them for overpriced screens if you want those -I don't think they used any seller and cheated out on the paint, which speaking of which they said we'd get a bucket of paint upon moving in and never heard back about that. Buying Process -They don't communicate well with each other or the buyer during the process. We told them we were 3hrs away from where the house was located and they ignored that fact several times and gave us 7-8am times and also repeatedly changed the meetings without consulting us about whether or not it would work. If you know what you are doing then go for it, but the only thing I've gotten from this house as a first time home buyer is to steer clear from lennar and check this place myself instead of having an inspector do it. So many missed things and problems that were never mentioned or caught ... More

Lennar professional does not seems very helpful and responsive.

Home buying process with Lennar lender was not smooth lots of back and forth. Quality of home is just ok. Considering the amount of HOA fees I would expect some community amenities but there are none.

First and foremost, I like my Lennar house. I liked the interest rate and the FHA down payment. As for Lennar, I have little respect for them as a company. They offered me an in person closing, then denied me one. They promised a small amount of touch up paint, then denied me one. Lennar homes are build with the cheapest materials available, by the cheapest labor possible, and with no evident skill or pride in the finished product. Lennar builds homes as a vehicle to get money from all aspects of the process. Lennar Mortgage, Lennar Title, Lennar Insurance, etc. Then they sell your mortgage in the first month. But they aren't done. They write in the contract that every time the house sells for the next 99 years, they get a $3,000 builders fee. If you disagree with any of the stipulations they add, you don't get the house. And you won't know about many if you don't read everything. Lennar developments have HOAs, but they are not what you are thinking. Lennar HOAs are run by Lennar folk and investors until 100% of the homes are sold. Some in Austin are over 13 years old and still run by Lennar. If you wanted to be involved, even just to watch, they will let you once meeting a year. The rest of the time, we have no say, no clubhouse, no pool. But they take out HOA dues and spend it with no accountability to the homeowners. Deep breath. I am happy enough with my cheaply made home. I have the tools and skills to fix what they deny to fix. Overall, I have great neighbors and have made many new friends. I look forward to having you here! (Be sure to pay for an outside inspector before you sign!) ... More

They offered great interest rate but be aware of hidden charges and surprises during the buying process. The craftsmanship is below average. You might encounter rudeness from the sales rep too. I do not recommend this builder.

It has been issues and issues over and over again since 2 months ago. 1 month before closing…

- Hard to find the right person to explain the detailed T&C in the contract documents. - No one tells the whole flow, and the progress. Many Lennar internal teams like Lennar Insurance, Lennar Title, Lennar Mortgage, are not talking to each other. As a buyer, I have to explain and reach out each one for any supports needed. - After the closing, not sure when and how can the buyer get the full set of official documents including the registered deed. - The construction team did the sod installation before the mutual agreed date without notice, resulting the huge extra costs and longer time to the buyer on the sprinkler setup. ...

Lennar rushed me into a home that wasn’t ready to be moved into. Everyday I see more and more things that should’ve been completed before I moved in. luckily I still have a year left to get things corrected, but it should’ve been ready to go before I closed. I’ll know not to purchase with Lennar again in the future

This being my first home buying experience I can say Lennar didn’t make it easygoing like promised. They are quick to contact me when they need money, but slow to get back to me about my questions. Slow or never at all. I will never buy from Lennar again. Nobody was ever on the same page and we were being lied to about things. Plus, we’ve been in the house for two months and already having problems. I wouldn’t even recommend Lennar to my worst enemy.

John our sales man was great to work with. The home and yard has had a lot of issues that should have not been over look during construction. The home is cheap in materials used.

Our home closing was pushed three times, home hadn't passed final city inspection yet when we moved in, sod work, when we finally got sod, is shoddy at best. The whole experience was terrible, and I wouldn't do it again or recommend it.

I encountered many issues during my entire home buying process. The only highlight was my original representative when I first visited the new subdivision. Most of my issues stemmed directly from my mortgage loan officer not responding to my messages, and even giving my wife and I the wrong loan number. I’m in a fortunate position where most of my coworkers are in the process of buying homes and am able to steer them away from Lennar.

There's a lock of pride in the quality of the workmanship. Very dirty home upon closing. Random nails sticking out of home and poor masonry job. I inherited projects in this new home to fix up what wasn't done. Garage has holes cut into sheetrock for the garage door. Just looks tacky. Floorplan is amazing, yard was fully sodded and beautiful. Customer service rep did an amazing job getting our punch sheet done in our walkthrough! I'd defiantly work with her again, she was on our side in this process!!

First the details of the house could be better. Flat wall paint that shows every touch. does not cost a lot to use a different paint. My walk through was not good. Door frames were horrible and had to be replaced. Flooring was buckled in the living and dinning room. Replaced in several time and still could not get it right. On day of closing I walked the house again. The flooring is two different dye lots now. Not enough time to change it before closing. Tape and texture does not match in enty due to them having to fix it. Overall, I would not purchase a house from Lennar.

Good day, Over all the loan process with Lennar mortgage was pretty much straight forward. Kim and Susan were Johnny on the spot telling me when I missed something or they needed something else and I think we work pretty well together. As for the support for other Lennar staff some was good and some was very poor. Sometimes I would call and ask a question and no one would call me back. My wife called and asked, in the brochure it shows the house comes with a refrigerator, washer and dryer and wanted to know about this. But as of today we have not received an answer about why our house did not come with this items. This is a text I sent to one of Lennar employees; Could you please stop by sometime in the next couple of days (and my address) this is his reply, What are you needing? I’m pretty busy tied up with a lot of home. At another time, I showed other employee a letter from the water company that I received about the Backflow Prevention assembly that Lennar had install and he said someone from Lennar will contact you about this, no one contacted us about the letter. With no one calling me back or getting back to me, I just stopped asking Lennar employees anything, I just do what I have to do to get things done. As for the house itself, at first it all looked pretty good, now that we are in, we are seeing all the mistakes. The good part is, in my case it all seems to be little stuff (attention to detail stuff) like; paint all in the wrong places, on the carpet, on the tile, on windows. The grass, trees and bushes were in bad sharp, about a 4 x 16 foot strip of grass was dead, one of the tree was broken off at the top and 2 of the bushes were dead. I texted one of Lennar employees, he did not call or text back. So after about 4 or 5 days I called him and he answered, I asked about the warranty on the trees and grass again and he said that there was no warranty on trees and grass, that’s pretty strange since Lennar pay a lot of money for these items. I think the main reason why the grass and bushes were dead were because they should have been planted 2 to 3 days before closing, not 3 to 4 week before closing where no one takes care of them. As for the sprinkler system I had to dig out 3/4 quarters of the heads so the grass could get the proper watering that it needs. As for the sidewalk, big chunks of cement on the sidewalk. If a kid was riding his/her bike and hit one of those chunks of cement they could crash and get hurt. All or most of this items should have been caught by you Quality Control (QC) team or at least the person who signed off on that certain project (paint and grout all over the master shower, whoever signed off on the shower, stating the shower is complete, should have seen all the paint and grout, I wear glasses and I seen the paint and grout without my glasses on). No A/C filter in the Air Conditioning unit, who knows how long ago the A/C unit was instilled and running without a filter. Your QC person needs to go back to Quality Control school and get recertified. I know there is a Quality Control school because I was one of the instructors at one of the schools for the DOD (Department of Defense). The big questions is, would we recommend Lennar homes to other buyers and the answer is NO. With no one calling us back, and text like, I’m busy, what do you need. The bottom line is I was a customer before I bought the house and I’m still a customer after I closed on the house. The only difference is that after closing I can write good things about Lennar or I can write bad things about Lennar with firsthand experience. Here is a good example of your great service; I received an email from Kim on 8 March 2023 stating that my loan will be sold. I emailed Kim on or about 2 April asking about this and here it is the middle of April 2023…. and pro for the course, I did not received a reply back. ... More

On the date of escrow closing on 1/30/23 we supposed to get the keys to the home after the final walk through at 10am. Lennar made us wait the whole entire day then they finally handed us the keys after 7pm. We have purchased several brand new homes with various builders but never experienced such escrow problems. It was a shock to us that Lennar hardly fixed anything since the first walk through. We were so stressed out because we had to be at home every day for 3 consecutive weeks to allow Lennar to do the fixes but unfortunately Lennar had too many problems. Workers showed up at home without any tools, they did not know what to do because there was no Lennar supervision around. Worst yet the workers were very young especially not speaking a word of English. This kind of episodes kept repeating for 3 weeks long and up until last week things barely got done. We wanted Lennar to refund our money so we can buy a home somewhere else with better quality and timely maner of home delivery as promised. We have experienced tremendous amount of stress and bad experience with Lennar. If we have to write it would be pages long. It would be best that Lennar reach out to us so we can detail our bad experience. We have text messages to prove our efforts in communication with Lennar. ... More

I read some of the horror stories about Lennar Homes and thought that it was just people that were angry over ridiculous nonsensical things. However, I can tell you firsthand that the finish quality craftsmanship is so poor and so unchecked they have no quality service control whatsoever. The house was full of so many poor quality finishing that I had to make a list that should never have had occurred of the poor, finishing quality of the home. I have bought probably 16 homes during my life and I even worked for companies that build homes and I’ve never seen poor quality control ever people get excited when they buy a home and they look around real fast but if you look at all the baseboards all the trims around the doors, actually look at the walls in the joining of the walls to the ceiling, checking the cabinets and the quality of the fitting of the of all these moldings and cabinets and the quality of the actual finishing product. Then you will see so many poorly done finishing that you wonder how they even sell any homes I’m trying to be polite here so if you want to have pictures, I’ll send you pictures of my finished home and everything that I am making Lennar do again to make it right it is horrifying and honestly I am aghast at how poorly this homeless finished good luck. I wouldn’t buy here. Good luck! ... More

The entire process was stressful. They were "accommodating" but only after I said I would not be purchasing the agreed upon house. The closing process itself was a nightmare. I had to ask off 4 different days from work for the closing date because it was always up in the air. Living here for about a month, I still find subpar elements in the home. Flooring done incorrectly (which they "fixed" before moving in) granite countertops unfinished. Our downstairs is a cooler, while the upstairs feels like a sauna. This is the 2nd house we own, between my fiance and I, I don't recall anywhere near this experience with our 1st... Is it the worse possible scenario? No. Would I be willing to do it over if in the same position? Big no. ... More

We thought we were working with a reputable company but soon realized our sales representative Kristy at new Braunfels was the ONLY GOOD THING about our experience at lennar. Our construction manager Trey couldn’t have been more passive and untrustworthy, he was here bc it gave him a paycheck not because he wanted to deliver a quality home. The sub contractors you guys allow to work on the homes I’m baffled. I do no construction but have already fixed all the cosmetic issues your contractors left behind and Trey refused to have them come back and fix, one example of many the masonry guys left mortar all over our driveway/porch which dried and never got scrapped up so now we have dry mortar all over our driveway (Trey specifically said while we were on our way to closing that the power was guys were coming to get it up not to worry. Well that didn’t happen) . We’ve talked to all the neighbors and everybody has a story on how terrible their experience was with lennar as the builder of their home. The only reason we stayed was because Kristy went above and beyond 8 month pregnant, coming in early to clean up after the terrible cleaners had already supposedly cleaned. Scrapping paint off the floors herself. If it wasnt for Kristy fighting for us and trying to correct lennar mistakes the best she could we would’ve walked away no matter the fact that our started home had already sold and we wouldve been homes less for the time being. ...

This was my 2nd home purchase and it was definitely way worse then my 1st. My main issue was the sales representative from lennar. With how poor the service was it was like they didn't want me to buy a house.

Multiple delays with construction, appliances and closing. No communication with home buyer. Sales, construction, loan officers & closing don't communicate with each other. Don't respond to phone calls, texts or emails.

The lending process is broken at your company and my loan officer Adam needs some serious customer service training...the bright spot was Diana the processor and Jose the sales agent if it wasn't for those two I would have walked ...

I have had problems with the landscaper and have absolutely no help getting the problem resolved! I had an agreement with Debbie from Double H as of 8/25 to install the rest of my sod for $525 when they finally got around to installing my sod that came with the home, which was already 3 weeks late. I emailed her on 9/9 to find out when the install was and she doesn’t reply until 9/12 at 8:26am and says they are installing that day but they are no longer installing for homeowners. Then she tried to use some excuse that it had to be paid 3 days in advance, which if I was told when it was going to be installed I would have been able to pay it in advance. I requested help from Lennar since it was their landscaper that went back on their word, but got nowhere and Debbie at Double H just kept hanging up on me. I feel very let down by Lennar knowing they could have done more. And I would definitely not recommend Double H Landscaping to anyone! I believe she went back on her word because I didn’t use them for my sprinkler system which they were $1000 more than who I got it from and they proceeded to break 4 sprinkler heads while installing my sod that they did put down!! Very poor customer service!! ... More
