Lennar Reviews

Wrote review above without last names

Good people. House meets code but that's about it.

Bought a home with Lennar at the end of March. Closing was moved up--I appreciate that. However, lots of little dents and scratches that were promised to be fixed after closing never occurred. I followed up time and time again and never heard back. I gave up and paid about $1500 to fix these items on my own. Note that the homes are built by teams of independent contractors--Lennar does not have their own teams building them. Workmanship can vary. Knowing what I know now, I would not close until all issues fixed.

My experience in purchasing Skyborne unit was a mix of satisfaction and frustration. While the overall quality of the house was satisfactory, there were several areas where improvements could have been made to enhance customer satisfaction. One of the minor yet notable issues was the placement of the garbage disposal button under the sink. It seemed like a small inconvenience at first, but in practice, it became an annoyance in daily use. Simple adjustments in its placement could have significantly improved the user experience. Another aspect that could have been better was the provision of extra doors for the bathroom. Adding an additional door would have provided more privacy and convenience, especially for larger households. Additionally, the lack of extra space for storage in the bathroom was a missed opportunity. Incorporating more storage solutions would have been appreciated and made the space more functional. One major disappointment was the absence of an EV charger, despite the recommendation to install solar panels. This oversight was particularly frustrating as it left us unable to fully utilize our environmentally friendly energy source. It's essential for builders to consider the complete package when making such recommendations to consumers. Furthermore, the placement of the AC compressor right outside the living room, directly under the water pipe, was a significant oversight. During rainy weather, water pouring down from the pipe posed a risk to the compressor and created potential safety hazards. This could have been easily avoided with better planning and consideration of placement. Overall, while the house met our basic requirements, there were missed opportunities for improvement that could have elevated the overall experience. With a little more attention to detail and consideration for customer needs, the buying experience could have been much more satisfying. ... More

The salesperson and the project manager were great / Lennar was terrible - communication. legal closing were all terrible experiences

The overall buying experience was good, however there was an issue that was shared during my decision process that was short of accurate. The lack of parking has been less than desirable. I was told that I had two parking spaces in front of my townhome. However, when I double-checked after purchasing my home, I was told something different. There is not enough parking, nor is there adequate street lights for safety.

My Lender expereince sucked. Barely was able to get in contact with Rich W. Would have liked to have more interaction with him being that I was a first time homebuyer! Other than that, the construction team was helpful and friendly. I will probably not use Lennar as a Lender in the future.

The new townhome we purchased seemed to be rushed. There were two contractors, the first one left. The quality of the finished work was not that of a professional organization. We have drywall corners, edges, etc that weren’t finished properly. When we walked and blue taped problems, some were fixed others just had the tape removed. After closing it took weeks to get all the final issues fixed. We’ll have to work on the drywall issues ourselves. Also, the HOA was more than we were quoted. The plus side- The interest rate and closing cost buy down was the best I had seen in a while and better than anyone in the area. ... More

Our overall experience was good. Our sales representative Jessica was awesome!

Th construction quality has not been very good. The material used is below standard. All the construction issues are being marked as within limit, which is not good. The quality of the product does not match the price paid.

I have been experiencing lots of issues with the doors at my house in addition to a drawer in the kitchen that won't close properly from the first time I opened it. This is my first time purchasing a new home. Maybe this is normal. I did contact customer services regarding these issues and they responded immediately. They put me in contact with my representative and an appointment was made by him to have someone come out to make repairs. I am hopeful that when that time comes around all repairs will be made to my satisfaction.

Homebuying process was easy. I was not happy being int the middle of a cost cutting effort from Lennar. Originally told the house would come with (and was on all marketing materials including website) Wifi Mesh Network, Water Sensor, Ring Alarm, and other great items but it did not show up on the final transaction. I missed it on the documents I signed and it could not be honored. Not super thrilled spending over half a million dollars on a house and it does not include any ceiling lights in any room, the living room, and even the master bedroom! Need to run lamps everywhere. Getting the house is plagued with issues. The big one is HVAC which the heater didn't work upon moving in so they fixed, now it has heated up and the AC doesn't work which they just fixed today. Dishwasher drain line was not installed and just random quirks with door alignment, loose toilets, show knobs loose, towel rack fell off, floor board trim coming up, network/coax jacks on the wall not connected at all (just faceplate), network box shoved in and had to get re-installed/cut, etc. Tried starting dishwasher today and its erroring out, so dealing with that now. I'm hoping nothing else. Spenser has been good for support. Still wish I had a flawless Lennar experience. Sadly my parents had the same Lennar experience in a different state. My position is a Quality Operations Manager and while I think I have a particular eye, I don't think I was being picky on any of these flaws. The house even had the wrong number displayed on the home as it was the same as my neighbors, so that was changed. ... More

Some incentives we were told we would get and did not. Lack of communication on the front end. The CM, warranty and closing team were great. Issues after closing were addressed in a timely manner.

We love the design of our home and the community. Unfortunately, we are disappointed with the many aspects of our new house. We feel the quality of the materials and the appliances are subpar. We were also given misinformation about some of the logistics. For example, we closed in February and were told our driveway would be paved in late March and our street in April. Since our sod wasn’t installed right away, the lower part of our driveway was loaded with mud constantly. Our driveway was completely today, after several phone calls and our street has yet to be paved.

Lennar needs to improve construction quality. I have to submit 10 work order in the first month after move in. 2 walkthroughs didn't help me to resolve the issues. There is no home security system, not even a ring door bell or keyless smart lock. I found a empty beer bottle on top of my kitchen cabinets. Try to see what you can find in your homes!!

We had a mixed experience with our apartment purchase. On one hand, Bryan (our agent) professionalism and communication skills were commendable throughout the buying process. On the other hand, the condition of the apartment was unsatisfactory, with unaddressed issues from the walkthrough, such as an unconnected dryer exhaust duct, an unsecured washing machine drain hose, a subpar paint job, and a missing kitchen cabinet shelf.

Lennar is an average builder in terms of quality of workmanship in my opinion. A large portion of our wood trim is marred, damaged, isn’t smooth, etc…. I expect more on a newly built home at a high price point. They did fix a big sewer issue at the last minute, though reluctantly, but did not want to push out our close date even though we were agreeable to moving out the close date. I’m sure it was the end of the sales quarter and they didn’t want to push that money into another quarter. Overall, the buiider does respond to some repairs needed, and it’s a nice house. But, I expected better quality of workmanship. Do NOT use Lennar Mortgage though! We had the worst experience we’ve ever had with a mortgage company. They have very poor communication and said one of us couldn’t be on the loan because it would be easier that way. Easier for her, but not best for us. They also never really answered questions clearly and had months to get documentation from us that was only requested from us on the actual day of closing. Very unprofessional and unethical. ...

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

Too many different places that I had to ask questions from. Things need to be streamlined! I was never told a lot of the rules and expenditures I would have. I did not receive any paperwork and was never placed on certain lists. It was a very stressful situation for me. No guidance at all. I am told it probably happened because I paid out right and never went to a closing. Was done on my phone. The paperwork did not get to the different departments. As far as fixing any issues ; the staff has been excellent. Checking even to make sure the job is done. Excellent experience with Josh and Hailey. PLZ stream like all the payments to 1 monthly billing and then they can divide it up to all the different companies. ... More

Lennar has very unhappy buyers.The problems can be solved easily as most people here have the same problem with the same people. I have been a project manager for the last 30 years and none of the staff I have met would work for me.There is one exception,Mike Bell.Mike is professional and gets things done.He follows up after job is scheduled.You need to hire more like him

Too many docusigns and different Lennar logins and people involved. Not fun at all. Should be easier process and one “go to person “ to contact.

When putting in a clean something that’s not working, takes too long

This is a first home buying experience. There were issues all along the way. Thank god we had a realtor that was with us every step of the way. Feel there needs more communication. All in all, we are happy with our purchase.

Neither bathroom came with any towel hangers, when sink, bathroom and shower normally have one. We are willing to forego the missing top bathroom cabinets. Pavement to the front door has a couple of holes exposing inner wood. We are still very happy with the new house, but the above needs attention.

I thought they did a great job in the beginning of the process very responsive until the week of closing. Once I closed - moving from another state - with no idea of who to contact for utilities HOA etc. So disorganized and frustrating. Once that was figured out, all is good. Love the place so far! I did go through Lennar Mortgage and they did a great job!
