lennar Reviews

Troy, Trina, and Joe have been helpful throughout this process. Erin our consultant was the best

Price was good. Included were ring and window coverings. Upgrades were good. Sales agent was helpful. Good location . Good quality.

This is the 2nd or 3rd review Lennar has sent me which is really sums up the Lennar home buying experience for me. Lots of emails, lots of confusion, no real introduction as to what is going to happen when.

Nice homes but management needs work. Too many things going on at one time so a lot of miscommunication and things needing to be done. We've been here since Thanksgiving and things are still being done on our house that should have already been dealt with. They are being done but poor management in the process. Tried to hard to get to much done during this phase.

Please ensure that Lenore stands by the date that they give you for closing because when they change the date it totally disrupts your life and then you have to spend additional monies that were not initially budgeted for

Attempting to obtain a mortgage for the property was torture. I finally paid cash just to get it over and done with.

The house was incomplete at the time of closing. A very long list of items to be fixed on closing day. It took weeks, if not months to get them all fixed. Lennar sales did not disclose all information about the home lot and Vista community information. A pedestrian Traffic sign was installed at the driveway entrance, Additionally, we have come to find out Vista Lake Owners residing in the Wild Blue community, will not be able to use Wild Blue entrances. This was a huge disappointment. The Community clubhouse was promised completion 6 months ago, now group d had not yet been broken and we are told another year. ... More

The finished quality of workmanship sucks. They should do a walk through themselves before they invite the homeowner in and fix everything they find wrong. But, they wait until the homeowner comes in, and in a couple of hours expects the homeowner to find all the problems. The finish carpentry is poor, the countertops were not cut straight or square, very cheap flat paint on the walls that gets marked up just by leaning a cardboard box to it. They wait to paint the doors after all the hardware is attached, thus more poor workmanship. Walls are not straight vertically, I have one wall off 3/4" in just the width of a 32" door. They do a poor job cleaning up for the final customer inspection, dust and dirt in corners, window sills, etc. Drywall not flush, even or square. This is a poor excuse of a quality new home. But, I will say this, they try to make it right after the fact, but it should not get to that point. ... More

LENNAR as a builder is a good value for the money

I really like our house and love the location and community I will in.

We have so far had a good experience with Lennar

I was told I would get two walkthroughs before closing, I only got one so I didn’t see that the fence gate was on the wrong side of the house, no one told me that they only put grass down 20 feet from the back of your house so I have a good 10 feet of mud when it rains, wasn’t aware fence would not encompass the back door area. Read everything and ask the questions that you may think are stupid

Everything was going great until last minute we were required to bring more money to closing. The drive through closing was just not ideal. But overall we love our home and anything that has gone wrong was fixed or waiting to be fixed

The home consultant I worked with was phenomenal. She was very attentive to my concerns but the lenders that are used were not good at all. Very unorganized and I feel that they lacked experience.

Lennar has professional and courteous to deal with. Martha and Duke have been great to work with. Our Lennar agent, Dawn was great in answering all our questions in a timely manner. However, after accepting the house a few things have been at or below average. On closing day, we were left to fend for ourselves, did not know where to get our mail key, garage remotes did not work, no explanation on the Schlage keyless lock system, how to obtain the RFID chip for the gate entry, etc. A helpful explanation sheet would have been very helpful. I even wrote something up myself and submitted it with no response. We still cannot get our side-walk repaired when it was damaged before we moved-in. They just point the finger to the city. Most of all we were shocked to not receive anything from Lennar to include champagne or anything. They call closing day a celebration...but do nothing for you and was a nightmare of a day. We spent over $500K and expected a little something than here you go. ... More

Still trying to get some warranty issues resolved, has taken over 2 months and still not satisfied with results.

The salesman that we had was horrible. It was nearly impossible too get in touch with him. It's too much too write but the people that we dealt with at the end were wonderful.

Overall, Lennar was very responsive

Quality of the Lennar home is amazing. The sales department is not entirely truthful. We were limited to three dock options. After moving in, we noticed a few non-option docks that we would have preferred to have. Our grounds maintenance is included with our HOA, We have had to trim our berm and hire a pest control company to treat our lawn and berm for fire ants and lawn eating bugs. Other issues include a four month construction delay and getting warranted items repaired in a reasonable time. Our pool skimmer was blocked with construction cement for a month before it was correctly cleared of the blockage. The pool timer panel was defective on install. The electrical panel was not replaced for three months. A defective drawer front took one month to be replaced. The homes are built well, but the maintenance is subpar. Before closing we went through the house with Wyatt. We had identified numerous items in need of repair. Upon moving in we noticed the blue tape marks were gone, but the repair was not completed. Most noticeable was the wall in the garage in need of a coat of paint. We are still waiting on a portion of the lanai cage to be tightened to prevent more turtles, frogs, snakes, bugs and geckos from entering caged area. Most of these issues could have been prevented if the inspector responsible for the final home Inspection of the property had thoroughly inspected the property and had paid more attention to detail. ...

Shocked by how often I was asked to give a 10/10 review of Lennar employees.

Planting dead or dying trees on new builds. I used virtual assistance fir mine and when I said my neighbors trees were dead and other trees they were planting looked dead or dying the person who helped me said she’s only dealing with my issues nor my neighbors or surrounding area’s trees. This is sad because it affects the overall appearance of the community. Maybe the neighbors are not computer literate enough to know how to submit their concerns.

I have had a lot of problems with this new house and feel i was overcharged compared to my neighbors. The finish work is not good, and appliances are very cheap.

Great home for the money!

This is our second Lennar home and this experience was a nightmare. The salesman we had was the worst and I'm a Realtor and know what service is supposed to be. I love the community and the homes are lovely, but ours was not done and they did NOT have CO when we arrived. Lennar choose the closing date and we flew in to find a MESS. ow The warranty program works but our salesperson should be in the background, not working with the public. It's not just me that thinks that but our neighbors who also worked with him. KRISTAN is AWESOME though.....and the other guy in the office is great. I got tired of hearing "its not my job" or "Its my day off" OR "I don't know, I seldom get down that end of the road". We just wanted to know if the dock was in, if the kitchen was completed, were we closing on time........total unrepsonsive answers. Wyatt our construction manager was very good (he took over the mess from the guy that was fired). We like Wyatt a lot and he answered our questions and got the repairs done. MEL is AWESOME.....not our guy but very helpful. When I couldn't get an answer from our salesperson Phil, I would get the answer from Mel. We met him accidentally on site when we were there to view homes and I was able to contact him. THANK GOD! My husband had a heart attack the day after closing due to stress of the entire situation. ID LOVE TO SEND YOU THE PICTURES OF THE HOUSE AS WE ARRIVED TO CLOSE AND DO OUR WALK THROUGH. A picture speaks a thousand words. ... More

Danielle/Kelsey and Tony were great
