Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Everything to start of has been a nightmare The only quick part of this process is the finance team Quick to take your money Once you get into your make sure you do the walk through with an inspector and agent I thought I could do it myself since I have history in real estate but no as I moved in to my so called “move in” ready home issues after issues kept coming It’s now been over a month and still issues happening to my home From foundation cracking Loose and broken frame inside roof Consistent gas leaks Very dirty home from cabinets being full of dirt due to no sod Caulking issues all over inside and outside Holes on your outside walls and mix of paint used They plant dead sod on your lawn and not even placed correctly Speaking of sod which is grass No sod on your home until you moved in and be ready to deal with the muddy rainy days and having to walk around everything And if you have a dog man it’s a hassle. To cut this long story short Please please please yes Sarah carpenter please the song Please come with your own inspector as that’s the only way stuff will get done at lennar at Navarro ranch ...

Getting things taken care of after close has been a nightmare. The internet is constantly going out for 24+ hours at a time.

The builders just do sloppy work on the inside and don’t take any pride in it

I complained that my new AC system doesn't cool down in the afternoons & they claim it's normal as long as its 20 degrees cooler inside than outside so 80 degrees homes with 100 degree weather outside is normal to them & they won't fix regardless of the so called warranty. I'm 1 of MANY neighbors with the same complaint left to accept these hot conditions.

The experience is worst no co ordination among the teams no right information shared any time.

Lennar homes are terrible quality, seems like builder just rush their work and use the cheapest material as possible. Foundation cracks have appeared and have made my floor rise and lennar says that there is no foundation issue. Even after I have had my own third party foundation company tell me there are problems. Will never buy a lennar home again.

Terrible experience would not recommend this site is terrible for posting 1 stars for builders. They delete negative reviews

So far the only good thing is ,it was the cheapest home that was available. The longer we live here the more areas we see where the builders cut corners, did quick patch jobs or even tried to hide the errors made rather than fix them. if you have an issue there's a whole lengthy process to get it resolved. We were made promises that were not kept, discovered trash that had been poured over with concrete because they were too lazy to pick up after themselves. All in all, they did get us into a home quickly but if we were to do it again I would have taken my time and checked every little thing over and over and the once more. Definitely will be looking into other builders next time! ... More

For buying a first home, I had a very stressful experience trying to constantly prove that money was money was available because they couldn’t read. Not till I got my realtor involved the “issues” cleared. Quality and craftsmanship is horrible, no pride in quality of work. When you do need answers during the process everyone blames everyone and says it’s someone else doing it. Too many hands involved. I would never buy a Lennar home again.

Did not enjoy our experience.

The only people with Lennar I am thankful for is Bryan & Ken for being dedicated to customer satisfaction & Lou H. for how helpful she was with our loan underwriting. Other than that, this is The WORST experience I’ve had in home buying. The day we met with our consultant we told her our price range & number of rooms/bathrooms we wanted. She showed us houses at least 10-20k over our price range and not even what we had asked for in a home. The day we viewed our house & were submitting the app, our consultant texted us saying the price increased from $167.9 to $170 because someone placed an app on a house down the street at the same time we were. I still have the texts from her saying the website didn’t reflect the price change yet & her manager was unable to keep it at the price we viewed it at. Still to this day, the price shows at the $167.9 & no one even bought that house until at least a month after we lived here. The amount of documents I’ve had to submit is beyond ridiculous. Majority of the home buying process was submitting & then resubmitting documents because they didn’t communicate with each other & weren’t aware they were submitted already. Not even a week after we closed, our mortgage was sold to another company. We were told by 3 different people that Fision internet was included in our monthly HOA fee of $75. Not only is fision billed separate every month, the HOA fee is also paid quarterly. Not monthly. When we moved in we were told we had to call fission in order for our security to connect to the internet. We were never given an account number or any information on creating an account to make payments. We now received a bill from HOA for over $300, we’ve lived here for barely 2 months. Our neighbor received the same thing & we’re told if it’s not paid they can’t live in the HOA community. How can we make payments when we weren’t given any information to pay it! On the HOA form given to us by our consultant & in the closing documents, it has trash options as Tiger & Republic. We tried getting service from republic for over a month and were tired of waiting so we got Tiger. Come to find out, our community isnt allowed to use Tiger, it HAS to be republic. Along with this, the HOA form we were given said our electric & gas were through CPS. We tried registering both for a week with them & no one could tell us why our gas wasn’t showing in their system, only the electric. Our gas ended up getting shut off for almost 3 days. Turns out, it’s not even through CPS, it’s centric. Speaking of HOA, we’re still required to pay the fee for the community amenities. THE AMENITIES ARENT EVEN BUILT YET! We’re paying for something we can’t use, we can’t use other communities in the meantime & the HOA ladies said they won’t be built here for at LEAST a year and a half. Within the first week of living in the home, the baseboard on our kitchen cabinets fell off & literally looks like it was super glued on. We still had blue tape markings on our walls that weren’t taken care of. When we received our grass, we were told the ground was too wet/not in condition to lay it down. The grass pallets sat in the front yard for 3-4 days. By that time it was all fried & dry on nearly all of it. When they laid it, it was so uneven, overlapping in areas & huge gaps of just dirt in areas as well. But then we get fined by the HOA if our yard isn’t well kept. How are we supposed to keep up with it when our watering day is once a week & it was given to us dead? The construction workers go on our property at all times during the day & have come up to our door and grabbed lawn decorations off of our porch. They leave beer cans and trash all over the community and in our yards. Some of them make inappropriate comments and whistle at us when we get home from work or walk down the street. Ive brought almost all of these concerns to the attention of HOA, our consultant as well as trying to reach the builder team. Apparently, majority of my community has gone through the same thing as us. This is all well known throughout the Lennar communities and no one takes accountability. For any future homebuyers, do your research & look into other options first. ... More

I wouldn't buy from Lennar Aston Park. From the get go, they did not appear trust worthy. The mortgage officer started out by misleading about the loan requirements. The underwriting process was cumbersome, and I had to basically do the job of the underwriter by writing all my income, sources, and how they were spent in the last 3-6 months in an email. Apparently, sharing my bank statements and other relevant official document was not enough. Walkthrough personnel was not polite. After closing, it was a hassle to get the keys. You have to be there at exactly 11am. Not before, not after. I found the garage door had a large dent after closing. This wasn't there during the walkthrough. Overall, just a terrible buying experience. I wouldn't recommend this subdivision to anyone. ... More

Customer service was awful and the home buying experience was terrible.

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.

Absolutely horrible experience all the way from the looking at the home to closing. Zero communication within the company, everything is compartmentalized. Straight up will lie to your face. Use FOMO tactics to get anything done. God forbid you call them out on the workmanship and they have to make repairs. Just easier to pay someone else after the process to get your home to where you want to be.

I want to say first how nice and responsive Amy and Stephen were that is who we dealt with most. They represent the company well. The problem I had is how much we were lied to. When we first walked in to view the house it was 281k and we were advertised a 4.25% interest rate. In a short 2 months it went up to 306k and 5.65%. We messed up and agreed. We got ripped off. Never again will I recommend to anyone or myself purchase a lennar product. I’m paying more for home owners insurance because I refuse to give Lennar any more of my hard earned money. We got taken advantage of. Some things still aren’t fixed from our walkthrough. Things don’t line up well. The trimming, paint, and caulking are horrid. Our closing date kept getting moved back because the house wouldn’t pass city inspection because I’m sure of cost cutting measures. We had to cancel movers and celeries multiple times. We were on a time crunch and there was 0 communication. They told us 1430 the day before our closing it was going to be pushed back 9 days. Terrible experience ... More

The initial part of the home buying process was okay. It was until the inspection and after closing that the nightmares started to kick in. First, for starters, any real estate professional could see the gap between the foundation and the garage door. It seems like because I was out of town during the closing they just looked over the gap in hopes I wouldn’t say anything. I had to put in a claim for Lennar to come out and fix the issue that should have been fixed prior to closing. Second, there’s overgrowth of bushes and shrubs outside my property line. I reach out to Lennar regarding this issue, they shift the blame to the HOA. So I contact the HOA, they shift the blame to Lennar. I reach back out to Lennar in January regarding this issue, in which they stated they would take care of it. Here it is, the end of February, I have not received a return phone call after I reached out to follow up. The landscaping has yet to be cleaned up. Mind you, it’s not on my property line, so it’s not something I am responsible for. After spending 6 figures to acquire this house, no one should never have to go through hoops to get things done. I shouldn’t have to contact the corporate offices for Lennar to do their job that was supposed to have been completed before selling these properties. I regret purchasing through Lennar, should have went with another builder. This is the first and LAST time I will purchase from Lennar, and would not recommend them to anyone, not even my worse enemy. I am beyond upset about this issue. The whole team failed! ... More

We are first time home buyers and were drawn in by Lennars "easy home buying process" and "everything included". The entire process was a nightmare (minus our amazing sells rep Heather and Warranty/Construction rep Brett). You are 100% just a number to this corporation and they do not care about you, your family or the investment you're making. They have no communication internally, so you have the same conversations with different departments and have to submit the same paperwork over and over again. We even asked some of the team members if they communicated across teams and they laughed and said NO. Every department was a headache and you had to constantly remind them to get things done. The biggest lie they told us was that they no longer provide blinds for our style of homes, even though the homes we toured had blinds. After meeting our new neighbors (who all closed on homes after us) we quickly found out that was a lie and Lennar gave all of them blinds throughout their entire home. WOW. what a joke. I wish I was surprised but that's how this whole process has been. No communication, no integrity, no care for the home buyer and never any consistency. We've already told all of our friends and family the nightmare of a process this has been and tell everyone to find a different company to purchase from. Save yourself the headache and hassle- they do not care about you, they will lie to you, and they will cut corners. They do have a few shining stars that actually care about you - Heather and Brett are incredible humans. Very grateful for them. Lennar should make them trainers and allow them to teach the rest about customer service and care. Overall- NIGHTMARE experience. We'll never buy from them again. ... More

1. Every Loan processor that was involved with our loan, whether it were a Senior Loan Processor or not, kept asking for the same documents repeatedly after they have been sent. We were emailed on 9/5/23, 9/8/23, 9/14/23, 9/15/23 to provide a copy of social security card, but we were informed by Bryan D. that the 1099 form would suffice as a form of their SSN. 2. With said loan processors, they kept insisting that there was a bank account that had belonged to me and my husband, when they actually belonged to my in-laws, even after being told countless times that it did not belong to us. 3. Loan Processor, Bryan D., was asked several times what the interest rate and monthly payments were and he had refrained from sending that specific information. I do not feel comfortable, nor do I think it is right, to have to walk into my closing appointment with absolutely no idea what my costs will be. Would anybody feel comfortable with this? Or am I just another paycheck for you all, so my interests don’t matter? 4. The incompetent communication between the New Home consultant and the Construction manager regarding the appliances being installed prior to the third party home inspection. 5. I scheduled the original NHO virtually with Kristine M., who is a part of the Homebuyer concierge, since that was an option, but at the time of the appointment, no one reached out to me to give me any FaceTime call or zoom meeting link when I tried reaching out for this information. In fact, no one confirmed the appointment with me at all. 6. My parents were with me during the second walk through on 9/19. During the third walk through, on 9/21, we were not informed Nicole C. that we could not have my parents do the walkthrough for us. My husband and I cannot take off days easily as we both work Monday-Friday from 8-5. My in laws, who are the co-signers, are out of the country. And my husband and I had taken 9/22 off for closing. Coincidentally, I could not schedule anything after 5pm due to Lennar’s schedule for their employees. I figured with our circumstance with the other two co-signers being in a different country, having my parents proxy would be alright since they went to the second walk through with me. 7. During the third walk through, everything that was discussed during the walk through from 9/19 was NOT addressed and the house was extremely dirty a DAY BEFORE closing. We requested another walk through same day at 530pm. I was informed by the New Home Consultant, Diana M. that we would be meeting with another Customer Rep Jose M. as a courtesy because he doesn’t get paid overtime. This gentleman did not show up with the walk through list and was unprepared. We were informed to be on time since this was a courtesy from Lennar, but he came unprepared..? There would not have to had been a FOURTH walk through if everything that was discussed during the SECOND walk through had been addressed appropriately. And, my parents’ time would not have been wasted. This caused the paperwork that Lennar Mortgage needed to be pushed back because we needed to wait for the builder to sign off the statement. I do not appreciate the number of walkthroughs being blamed on us because had everything been addressed, only ONE would have been needed. 8. The New Home Consultant Diana M. was not very pleasant with me on the phone when she had informed me that my father was disrespectful to the customer care representatives and stormed off during the second walk through. This was completely false information, as she wasn’t even there at the walk through, nor has he even met her. 9. On closing day, we were to do the closing remotely for the convenience of my in laws since they are in the Philippines, a different country, meaning 13+ hours ahead of us. We received the notarization linvitation link at noon, which is 1am in the Philippines. We were informed that as long as everyone signs before 4pm and funds are received, we would be able to receive the keys to the house. We’ve told Lennar Mortgage countless times that the co-signers were OUT OF THE COUNTRY and the time difference is crucial for documents that were given to us with two day deadlines. 10. There was an IT issue with the Proof Closing team. As that issue was being resolved, my husband and I made our way to Lennar title to make sure we make it on time to drop off the closing fee funds and I could do my portion of the notarizing on the way so we can make the deadline to receive the keys. 11. As I start my process with speaking to a notary Ralph W, he immediately noticed that my first name on my drivers license does not match the signed documents that were signed. The notary wanted me to reach out to the loan officer, Bryan D., to see how we would proceed with this issue. We waited several minutes before calling to ask him if he saw our text message regarding the issue. He never did. We never got to close on our house the day we were supposed to due to this department’s incompetence. 11. With three Loan Processors, Bryan D., Mel J., Christine S., two of them being Senior Loan Processors, Mel J. and Christine S., they all still missed the fact that my Drivers License and SSN card have different first names. This was not caught until our CLOSING day when it should have been caught day one. And that is to name A FEW mistakes that Lennar has made. Lennar has made my husband’s and my first time home buyer experience the worst experience we’ve ever had. There was no care, there was no compassion, and there was no initiative to help when we needed it most. When it comes to something that they need, they need it ASAP. But, when it comes to something that you need, everyone drags their feet and points their finger with nothing getting done. They’ll just give you a $150 Amazon gift card when they get your name wrong. ... More

They didn’t even asked me for permission is my property now so why do that? .. I didn’t know until I noticed it was not there. Didn’t feel safe having it like that. And after they put it back wasnt the way it was.

If I could give MORE then ZERO stars to Lennar it would not be enough. Working with Lennar Homes was absolutely HORRIBLE from the very start. I will NEVER EVER recommend. Workmanship is horrible for the price we paid. Lennar took away the so called wonderful home buying experience which we will never get. Thanks Lennar for DESTROYING our dream, be proud of yourself.

I can’t describe my experience. It was so bad that I have no words to describe it.

My overall home buying experience was stressful and almost traumatic. By far the worst purchasing experience I've ever dealt with. There was an extreme lack of communication with everyone involved. My closing date was moved up without my knowledge only to satisfy the managers' quota for the month. I felt more like a number on a sales performance board than an actual customer making one of the most important purchasing decisions of my life. My interest rate was changed from what was discussed so I had to follow up multiple times to have it changed back. The house repairs were not fixed from the orientation by the time of my closing date, but I was still forced to close on that day. Lennar (although at fault for not fulfilling their obligations) gave me an ultimatum to close on the 28th of August or I would lose out on the deal. No one was sympathetic to my frustrations. I've purchased a home in the past, so I know the difference between good customer service and whatever it is that Lennar calls this. ... More

Do not buy a home from Lennar.

The seller failed to disclose everything that the house was supposed to have and they compromised on quality for the price. They should have been straightforward with me the first place telling me most stuffs don’t come with the house a week before closing date. I don’t think I can recommend or buy any other house from this builder
