Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

How a gas leak, plumbing issues (shower not draining) electrical issues got past “inspection” is beyond me! Simple things as installing doors properly for the safety of their home buyers is clearly not a value no integrity behind their name! I’ve been here 1 month and have yet to actually feel comfortable in this home! DONT BUY IF YOU DO HIRE AND PAY FOR YOUR OWN INSPECTION!!!

I must of dealt with 8 different employees when I had a real estate agent. I did all the work of the agent. Talking to 8 different people is not only confusing it was hard to hold anyone accountable for the mistakes.

The only good part of of this process was from the loan and title personally our home concierge Jose terrible terrible terrible all you guys did was take advantage of a young military family thinking we were stupid cause our age and cause we were officially here in San Antonio yet as well as his boss who called and blamed us for the problems we had in our home because we hired a third party inspector and her word i quote “ Lennar is a faster moving company then anyone else so with you hire a third party inspector it pro longs if and cause the issues you are having” basically because they rushed the work of the home and we were holding them accountable it was our fault as well as having our family and realtors in the home with a whole gas leak. Never again will we do business with your company nor will i recommend lennar to any military or civilian. ... More

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.

Some of the workorders were not done and we mover in and now it's a inconvenience for me to work around other people's schedule

Zero communication. Lack of care in blue tape walkthroughs, unprofessional staff (ESPECIALLY at the Lennar regional level), shoddy craftsmanship. I can especially observe this watching all of the other houses get built around me in Guadalupe Heights in Seguin. Trash getting blown all around, builders trying to steal packages off my front porch, dirt and debris in the road. I will always tell people to avoid Lennar at all costs. Cutting corners should be Lennar’s slogan.

Unorganized unaware poor work efforts

Sales person was great and responsive. Quality of work was poor, responsiveness from construction team was poor. After closing for over 6 weeks we have not had sod on our yard. We financed through Lennar and they later sold the loan to a different company. Shortly after the loan was sold, my wife and I both experienced identity theft, where we both had letters stating that credit cards were applied for by us that we were not aware of. We are very careful with not sharing private information and have not applied for credit cards in over 5 years. Some credit cards were approved and had thousands of dollars charged to the cards that we did not open. ... More

One of the worst experiences of my 63 years.

Low quality of products used to sell fast, lack of great customer service, no responsibility to fix items prior to sell forcing customers to close without options

The price of the home doesn’t reflect the low level quality of materials and craftsmanship in the home. The home has a beautiful face on it but basic everything else from the cheap doors, no locks on the door knob, the basic level stove and microwave, carpet padding, no screens for the windows and the most horrific caulking and painting of the base boards. I reached out to inquire about upgrading the low level things and I was told that it violates the warranty!?!?. You don’t know all of these things until you get in the house and live in it. Also what happened to everything is BIG in TX??? The driveway doesn’t fit to full size vehicles. You can’t even get out and not be standing in the grass. That is TERRIBLE. I’m coming from Florida and the Lennar homes are on a completely different level and quality. I was excited about this experience but I feel like i’ve been scammed for $150K. My last place was built in 2019 and very similar. I wish I was back in Florida. ... More

almost 3 months behind schedule even though all supplies were here, would tell us 2 more weeks so we checked everyday, no one was working on house. When we were told a home inspection which we were paying for could be done work in house was not finished you didn't even have a water meter here. One wall had no electricity at all, we were told it was repaired and it wasn't. So many things not taken care of from final walk thru and house was not cleaned. Not sure what ever happened to customer satisfaction but Lennar has none. Neighbors on both side's had same sort of issues. Nice homes but will never buy another one due to lack of caring if your issues are handled or not. ... More

Please keep away from Lennar. They tell you one thing and then do something in the back. When questioned, they say, "oh my mistake" etc or delegate that messaging to someone else. No one really takes responsibility for the mistakes.

The construction manger was/has been great. The title department was the worst!!! I have NEVER had such a horrible experienced. It’s been 4 months since my closing and last month I was looking for final/completed/signed documents in the portal (that you push so much), to find out they were not there. I had to call title to get them. Defeats the purpose of your so called portal. You have been a failure in almost every aspect of the experience. I say almost only because of Shane the construction manager.

I have been around home building my entire life and have never seen a house get built with such lack of care. There were so many things that stood out to show that one the contractor is either way to rushed. Or two they just don’t care. Walls with very little or no paint. Tile that didn’t get grouted in places. Brick work that looked like a little kid did it. List goes on and on. This is just the builder side of things. I have plenty of complaints for the entire company.

This review is not in regards to the location, the neighborhood, the local schools, etc... It is strictly about Lennar. I purchased a home from Lennar at the end of May 2019. My experience with Lennar before and after purchasing the home has been terrible. This company lacks communication, consistency, and quality, among other things. When we agreed to purchase the home that we liked, the closing date was originally set for early June 19. Lennar contacted us and said that the closing date could be moved up to mid-May. We agreed to that closing date. When that date finally came around, I took off of work to allow time for the walk-through and all of the paperwork that comes along with closing. It was getting late on the day of closing and Lennar had still not contacted me to come do the walk-through. They finally contacted me and said that there wasn't time to close and we would have to do it at a later day. I went up to look at the house the next day and saw that the house was nowhere near ready and that they made no attempt to even close on the day that they moved it up to. I was extremely frustrated that I sacrificed an entire workday for nothing. Eddie, the area manager, and Drew, the sales rep, made no attempt to apologize or compensate me for this. Several days later, I walked through the house with Mario, the construction manager at the time, and put up blue tape on areas that needed a paint touch-up. After a while he has another appointment and said that Drew, the sales rep, was on his way to assist me in continuing the process. When the sales rep showed up, he aggressively told me to leave the home and that if I didn't like the way it looked, the house wasn't mine to buy. At the same time, I noticed that there was a bird's nest in the attic which was the result of a gap in the roof I had brought to their attention in the past, but they told me it was nothing. My wife and I moved into the home on June 2nd, and there are issues that we identified before ever purchasing the home that we are still dealing with today. The most recent is chips in the floor, which has now turned into a 5-week process just to replace a couple of panels on the floor. Lennar left the laundry room vent blocked which caused a blockage between my dryer machine and the vent exit on the ceiling of the house. This is a major fire hazard. The fence gate has broke 3 times. Paint on the outside of the house began to peel off. There was a missing baseboard. There was paint in the carpet and on the flooring throughout the house, and when I brought this up they told me to just to get a washcloth and clean it up myself. There are paint chips and inconsistencies in the paint in every single room of the house, they told me to use the provided touch up paint to fix it myself. I appreciate that the house came with sod and an irrigation system, but the way they laid the sod was extremely careless. Since we first met with Lennar, we have gone through 3 construction managers. As you can imagine, this has caused inconsistency and confusion in communication. I would never recommend Lennar to any of my friends or family. I strongly discourage anyone that reads this to buy a Lennar home. ... More

Not very flexible and we have had to request plumbing warranty once and electrical 3 times in just the first month. Quality control is not very good….

Lennar is an untrustworthy home builder. Communication is poor, response time is slow or nonexistent. Promises are made and not kept. I would not recommend them.

Cheap quality, rushed work; poor communication amongst staff

wasting my time with this survey

Not happy with most things at the home and the purchase experience

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

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

Did not enjoy our experience.

Just not a good experience in any way except Travis our concierge. We feel mislead and ripped off. Delays. Horrible communication. We knew Lennar is not a top builder, but we’re not expecting this? Ever heard of closing at 11P? Ever heard of a builder trying to coverup a breakin during construction? You will.
