Lennar Reviews in Seattle Bellevue, WA

Overall good experience, but a defective dishwasher in a new home on the first day is a mere disappointment.

Overall the house is excellent. The realtors were rigid in terms of required meetings in spite of us living 80 miles to the south and being asked to attend them at the end of the day requiring 2-3 hour drives to attend a 10 minute meeting. No willingness to make adjustments Was never mentioned to us that the hardwood was not water proof and needs to be cleaned quickly or will stain.

Quality issues with final product are my primary concern!

I feel the house was rushed. Half of the doors get stuck when opening and closing, makes it very hard when you have a sleeping baby The fridge doors was misaligned, husband was able to fix it Floors by the fridge constantly crack, seems there is a gap Lastly, nails were left exposed in the stairs, my daughter and I have both been punched by it House is beautiful but since they are building 200 homes in Mountain Crest Lake Stevens, a lot of the details were missed.

Most of the materials were of good quality. The carpeting and padding was disappointing.

The material and workmanship can be improved. What looked good at first sight, later on we found certain things were not up to the mark.

lennar 2300 sqft homes doesn't have walk-in or slide door pantry and no bonus /media room, I feel these are basic features in any 2300 sqft homes , also their closets are small , at least for bedrooms they could have given french doors. These are all very standard features , and considering Lennar is popular brand I never expect them to miss these features even in mid size sqft homes , The floor plans are not so great , and price is very expensive for what they offer compare to Dr.horton and Pacific ridge and Mainvue,

Decent Home. Love the layout. Workmanship can be better. Noticed a bunch of crooked wall finishes and wall outlets.

From the naked eye the home is gorgeous, once living here for almost a month I see tons of missed details that I can tell they sped up through in the finishing process. Holes in the closest walls where they were supposed to go over and paint, paint on the rear door because they were not being considerate with covering the doors, paint on the hardwood due to not being considerate of covering the floors.

Eric and Chad are the rudest construction managers I have ever dealt with. They don’t do their job properly and blame it to others. I have asked them several times to ask the construction folks not to parked in front of my house and block my driveway. They have argued with me and told me that they can’t ask them where to park! I have it on camera that construction guys parked there vehicle right in front of my drive way for over an hour and I have sent them the photos of the vehicles! They didn’t do anything. I am not very pleased with Lennar for having guys like Eric and Chad as construction managers. They are not qualified to be working for Lennar. I want Lennar management to talk to them and ask them for their rude behavior! I would never deal with Lennar anymore and would never recommend any friends or family just because of those 2 rude folks. They have argued with most of the community over small stuff. They needs to be removed from Lennar. They are representing Lennar and Lennar customers are running away from them. ... More

We had issue with the nails/staple sticking out and that was promptly fix. However, we reported the issue about the garage door paint which is not properly painted and also the host being outside the gate for the back yard. They’re still Otis taking and we’re almost here for 2 months

I have a good experience with Lennar , they have a good customer service.my new house foundation is well done .the house is so energy efficient but so expensive on the current market

Wish they would have done more thorough quality check.

Very Bad experience

I had a great home buying experience, the process was so smooth and seamless. the Construction Supervisor Brett is an awesome person, always present and ready to help. even after moving in he is always near by monitoring the other home builds and always ready to answer questions and help when asked. I am happy with the quality of work in our home as well, i have not had anything stand out yet. the Tough market was a bit of a negative factor, we had been first on the list for the desired Lot for almost 4 months but when the time came we had to sign a contingent offer, which allowed Lennar to bump us if some one came with out the contingency. So we felt pressured to risk the deposit and remove the contingency. In the end we are very please with the process, the home, and the staff. Thank you Lennar Maple Hills Team ... More

No need to take a real estate agent. The listing was very misleading.They have their own sales team and pay no part of other agents fees. Real estate agents don't work for free. With an additional agent fee to be paid for by the purchaser was the one downfall and a large extra expense.

The home buying experience needs to change. It's very stressful and you are not guaranteed that you will get the house based on your offer as you only get one chance. It's a single offer with no chance to counter offer. Lennar needs to allow counter offers. The home itself, for over $1M, is average. Material selections are average at best. Vinyl flooring and not hardwood. The same small MDF trim used for baseboards and window trims. Bath fixtures are Moen which are nearly bottom grade quality fixtures. Windows are only trimmed out downstairs with sheetrock wrap upstairs (1960's). Millwork quality average with mitered corners uneven. Mid-grade cabinets with fixed shelves that don't roll out for pots and pans, HVAC that is in the ceiling downstairs and floor upstairs to save costs (heat rises so ceiling vents are useless in hot weather for cooling) along with the use of an HVAC system that doesn't have smart home integration. The paint that was left for touchup doesn't match what was used for the house and paint peels off the walls likely due to painting over dusty walls. Floors squeak. Guest shower is a fiberglass shower/tub unit with no door and requires a shower curtain. Overall, corners are cut everywhere that can be and still pass code. ... More

It’s a sellers market. Lennar has an advantage on making the closing price higher than the asking price. It also doesn’t accommodate the buyers on any choices, color, materials, design, etc., But this builder is efficient in construction and keeps quality it promises. Its customer services seems lack behind and disorganized: providing confusing and wrong information so the buyers have to work hard to connect utilities and local services. The company runs the HOA (or no official HOA yet) seems not yet functioning so be crossed fingers on any HOA related issues.

Sales team was great, Financing, Heather was great, closing communication was lacking. Overall, we love the house and the neighborhood.

Most materials and products are nice, not typical builder grade. Much of the craftsmanship is also well done. In our house the prep on the millwork was very poor, not the same as in the model homes. Many repair attempts were poorly executed. Unfortunately it is a poor representation of the rest of the house however it is highly visible and runs through the entire home. It’s a shame since our experience from start to finish was mostly very good. Rockstars were Katie in sales and James in lending. Too bad things finished up with Jennifer in cust service, she gets 2 thumbs down. We didn’t see that coming. ... More

Some finishes are not excellent but the price paid was even raised during the purchase. The experience as buyer: very poor The house: normal, average The price: very high

When we moved into the house we received a faulty dishwasher, which we were told would be repaired not replaced. Also the kitchen flooring needed to be replaced because of water leakage and all this took forever and highest level of escalation. Also in four months I can see the outside paint already chipping from window rims. Seems like Lennar has compromised a lot on using quality appliances and products and not done a proper quality check before handing over the house. Though Bret was still helpful with few things and that is my reason for still giving 3 stars despite multiple issues.

Details like the microwave placement were overlooked. It's a real problem for shorter people. No studs behind the drywall where the TV is supposed to hang. Also, we've had a lot of plumbing issues. Our powder room flooded causing major damage to the house.

A mixed review -- I'll break it apart to the home buying experience and the post-move in periods. The home buying experience was relatively easy and Lennar's financial team did a fantastic job helping me as the customer understand what's included, what's not, and facilitating all the paper work. The inspections were all ok, we had a 3rd party home inspector check it out and everything seemed ok, no big hang ups. The post-move in period is a different story. After we moved in, we've had a series of problems that are all a part of the warranty, but it's been non-stop and a real pain to have contractors coming in and out of the house. To provide a few examples, the dishwasher wasn't operating, the furnace and hvac had all sorts of problems that led to water damage in the ceiling and the inconvenience of not having AC during summer heatwaves. I did not expect issues of this severity with purchasing a home that is over a million. ... More

With in a month I could see dry wall cracks, cracked wood.
