Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

We love our floor plan and neighbors, but are really disappointed with the quality and expectations that Lennar has of its subcontractors. Apparently our standards are too high for a production builder.

First I want to say I am more sad than anything. Throughout the whole process I had issues. I was not listened to and my voice was not heard. There were issues that never got resolved and they started treating me terrible when I would try to address the concerns. One of the sales people asked me how I had so much time to leave my work desk to come to the office when I stopped in to say hi and try to build back a relationship since so many things were going wrong. The beginning was great, during the selling process they were great. Except they wouldn't allow me to have my realtor since she didn't come with me the first time I met with them. Also, they told me a washer and dryer was not an option I could choose however, my neighbor was allowed to have them as an option. They charged me more from my home than others across the street on a more expensive lot (the lots I really wanted but couldn't afford when picking my home out) and they are larger homes. They charged me more for my home than the one right beside me which is a bigger model with same add-ons as mine. So I felt taken advantage of because I did not have a realtor to help me negotiate. During the building process there were issues that they said they would fix but they didn't. There were out right lies told to me. Their workers damaged some things in the home during the building process that were not fix but I was told they were. I was put under a lot of stress because they were refusing to replace damaged doors (damaged by their worker). They eventually said they replaced them all but they did not replace them all and it appears they only trimmed down the doors that are supposed to be new doors, the doors have pretty big gaps from the door frame. The concrete work had a lot of flaws that never got fixed even with being told multiple times they would have the concrete company come out and fix them. I was told during the selling process that I would a full tree line behind my home to block a main street and traffic. That was a big reason why I chose my lot instead of the more expensive ones across the street (without a street behind). When all of the landscaping on the common area was completed they left a large gap right behind my home. My home is the ONLY home with the large gap and they admitted on email that it was there but they are not going to do anything about it because they are done with landscaping that area and it was included in the original quote. So I guess Lennar cannot afford one more tree to keep their word to their homeowner. Again, more than anything I am sad. I started this journey out so happy and hopeful but Lennar made my experience so sad and disappointing! ... More

Brand new house flooded due to faulty installed washer by the builder. A month has passed and still difficult trying to get help.

The process wasn’t smooth. Closing delayed twice, zero celebration-just were given a snack cake and a goodbye after spending more than a half million dollars!

The house was poorly done and amendments were not done after walk through as promised.

This process was extremely painful and unfriendly to myself as the homebuyer. I have purchased 4 homes and this was easily the worst experience. The concierge, Debs communicated terribly, was condescending, and was completely unwilling to help us negotiate a closing date, time, and location that was best for us. Our initial request was to close remotely in Florida which we were told could not happen. I asked again to close remotely from the model home in Franklin and was told it was not far enough away from the Carmel office. We drove from Florida to Indiana and were expected to be at final walk-through 9 hours after we arrived in Indiana, at 8:00 am the next day (we were told “hopefully that time works because it has to”) and then drive 30-40 minutes away to Carmel to close on the house and then BACK to Franklin to be in our home. This was all completed with minimal sleep, 15 hours of driving the day before, 3 pets, 2 kids, one of which woke up the same morning with a fever. It is insanely discouraging to spend the amount of money and time it costs to purchase a house for the builder and Lender to be so unwilling to offer any flexibility in these kinds of situations, especially. Our furnace had a gas leak and was inoperable less than a week after moving in. To add, Lennar Mortgage received everything that was asked for. However, a clerical error on the end of Lennar has caused them to contact myself for additional paperwork that was not needed originally although the mortgage has already been sold to another lender (2 months after closing.) ...

Good morning, we purchased a home at Geist Manon, our sales associate Heather was friendly and helpful in the beginning but once we signed the deal her total demeanor changed regarding her follow up as she also failed to reply to emails. We felt by sales and contractors as we were just a number and when you send the money we spend on a new home it should be a great experience. We also still have things yet to be fixed from our initial walk through drywall issues, painting touch ups,house cleaning the floors were dusty (drywall dust), outside was a mess due to winter conditions and no one has reached out to follow up. We also build with David Weekly and didn’t have this experience. ... More

We did our walk thru a week before we closed and we came back 3 times in that week and nothing had been done in our walk thru so the day before closing we went to the office and our girl got on the phone and called our project manager and got them to start working on all the things that were wrong. But the morning of the closing we came back and several things were wrong and I feel like we were dismissed on all of them and then you are stuck because you have to go to your closing. We have already had to have the mother board replace in our heating system and we haven’t even lived here a month. But it took 4 visits to get done. Still several things need to be done but just trying to get settled before they fix the things that should have been done before we closed ... More

Customer service is not good. The master bedroom shower is useless with no tap at the bottom and sliding glass door is hard to clean. The master bedroom wic is literally in the corner you have to walk through the bathroom to get there and there is no power outlet in it. I told my desire what type of home I am looking for but the Lennar team was very cold. They didn't help me to find my first home to be my dream home. I wish it could be my dream home. The team you have is not supporting at all. We moved from New Jersey for this home. The team was not cooperating with us to find the perfect home

It was not a good experience from the start. We were told by the sales woman that Lennar did not offer VA loans. We found that to be incorrect. We have had many issues with the workmanship and have only been in the hone for less than 2 months.

Water tank, dishwasher, emergency shower hinge, ungrounded rail. These shouldn’t occur with adequate quality control. Home experience stafff became invisible and unresponsive after sale, warranty filing process is inconvenient and closed so my property managers cannot file claims on my behalf.

lazy and shortcuts no standards of quality

Make sure to not give lennar builder money. As a deposit is not really a deposit and is non refundable even if they say they will refund it.

Lennar was very responsive when I initially signed for the property and things changed afterwards. The workmanship is poor and cheaper products, lights, bathroom fixtures are used. The paint job is very poor. I have begun to have my Villa repainted. I would not recommend at this time.

The builder did a nice job building the home. As with any new construction there are follow up issues. Those issues are not handled expeditiously and it is difficult to even talk with someone, whom to ask and where to go.

Fantastic experience until signing of purchase agreement. Communication from Lennar new home sales consultant was primarily limited, ambiguous and reactive throughout the building phases. Issues prior to closing left incomplete with no follow up. Construction issues discussed on closing day remain outstanding after two months. Warranty service items are not readily available for homeowners to view once submitted. Warranty service items slow to be resolved.

The specialist I was assigned with this property is very poor with his follow up process. I would reach out multiple times and needed to involve my realtor to get a response. I am also disappointed is some of the workmanship of the property: every door has paint missing on the edge due to only a thin layer being sprayed, patio boards are uneven and appears hastily assembled, and there is a 1/16th inch cut tile in above my stove due to not measuring the tile correctly which gives a cheap appearance. For the amount paid I was hoping for better finishing work with the property.

This process was not consistent. The walk throughs that were promised throughout the process did not happen until the end. The communication was usually unresponsive on Lennar’s end from our key contacts and Katie S. was extremely unprofessional. I do want to say Henry, the building coordinator was very professional and easy to work with. Lastly I’ll say I understand there’s a time crunch in building these units but having our basement flood the day after closing was frustrating and unacceptable. The closing process was smooth and quick. Thank you.

the team - sales agent and the construction managers made it sound like i am buying a candy at a candy store. they forced me to close without proper completion of the house just to meet their deadline. they even threatened me that they will hike the interest rate from lennar mortgage if i dont agree on what i say...we do have 4 other houses and never ever we had such a bad experience. lennar is disgusting

For price of this home the overall workmanship was very poor. There are many basic things that were poorly done such as painting, and door and trim installation. Very disappointed with the quality of the work.

We all know how crazy the market is right now, but our experience wasn’t great from the sales room, to Lenner mortgage, all the way to closing. No support after closing either.. We love our home, the location is perfect and pricing was decent (taking into consideration what the world is going through). Definitely feels like a “Too big of a company” where they no longer focus on service standards.

Overall, we are happy with our home mainly because we love the location and the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. On the other hand, the build quality, in my opinion, is very poor. We have had countless issues after being in our home for only 6 weeks. These include very poor interior paint quality with a total lack of attention to detail. Also, the guest bathroom tile work has to be completely redone due to terrible workmanship. French doors have been replaced due to improper installation and finishing. An outdoor vent cover has come loose and is waiting to be replaced. Then there is the cabinetry throughout the entire home. Absolutely the worst! Cheap, doesn't even begin to describe the quality of the cabinets that we installed in our home. Not a single door or drawer is straight, one cabinet is cracked, hardware is uneven and every single seam needs touched up. Don't get me started on the quality of the dishwasher that was installed... I've seen better in college campus apartments. ... More

The workmanship in the entryway of the front door was poor. The front door wouldn’t open all the way and I had to advocate myself to get it addressed. The first attempt at resolving the issue was sloppy. Then the construction manager stopped replying to my messages. I then had to find another Lennar representative who would help me. Hopefully the warranty manager that I am working with now will resolve the issue but I currently have a front door that doesn’t open all the way.

Issues with Lennar doing what they promise Home closed the 22nd of April Still no working dishwasher Broken cabinets not fixed Soft closers weren’t on cabinets Ceiling repairs not and fully painted House not power washed as promised nor inside cleaned for closing The only bright spot in the entire was our sales rep Paula She understands customer service and is professional in her approach Thank you Paula

Customer care post home purchase sucks! Responsiveness to issues is terrible!
