Lennar Reviews

Beautiful homes. Great spaces in the layout. Open floor plan is awesome. The home buying experience was good in some areas but not good in others due to little communication between all parties involved. Surprised the purchasing process has changed with Bids/No Bids. The lighting panels in the homes are really backwards. The color choices were changed due to manufacturing issues but owners had no say in the changes that were made. Construction folks created residue on my deck that i hope will be resolved. Finding out the home loan was sold to another company at closing was a shocker. The HOA cost is expensive compared to other areas, they need work on priorities of the community and issues with parking, trash collection, landscaping etc. Hope for the best. ... More

I had recently moved into my brand new house which is constructed by Lennar. I had that new feel for only few days. I started hearing creaking sounds almost everywhere with in 1 week of closing. There’s are cracks on the walls, air leaks and so on. Initially construction quality used to be good when I signed my contract. But now, I won’t recommend Lennar to anyone.

Home was not ready for closing , because there were so many things wrong! The most serious was the upstairs bedroom floor was ready to crash through. This was because it was not inspected as they had stated. The downstairs ceiling was cracking too! Appliance were damaged and dirty! Damaged windows installed! Sloppy workmanship and many other issues. Not a great experience! I can’t believe they would risk people lives like that!

Homebuying process was rocky but not too bad… I used lennar mortgage. There were constant delays with closing date but overall they got things done. No issues with home so far

We love our home but but the lender experience was terrible. It is too much to write, but they weren’t prepared with our paperwork at closing and we had to reschedule the closing to another day after sitting at the closing table for 2 hours. It was ridiculous.

So we just bought our first single family home. Good things- they stuck to time line and pretty much completed the projected on estimated time provided. The mortgage process was fairly seemless till closing without much surprises. Bad: we were not allowed any choice whatsoever, even the kitchen units were selected by their sales agent and we were told afterwards. Upon moving in there were construction stains on the flooring which was addressed on multiple occasions by their staff but they didn’t seem to have the correct equipments to clear them. Now with time and persistent cleaning by us, after a month or so these are almost gone. Overall we are pleased with the outcome though it’s not ideal. Construction quality is rather standard in most areas and substandard in a few. They didn’t put in any bathroom fixtures. Within one month we are seing continuous cracks along the walls/counter top edges on kitchen, around bathroom shower cabinets and bath tubs with some signs of small leak. Upon contacting customer service We are told that caulking is not including in their standard warranty and my home is setting. I am not entirely convinced by this explanation. Overall, it was an up and down experience buying Lennar home. Given the scarcity of available new homes we didn’t have much choice. I would probably rate the whole experience a 6/10. Ok for first time buy but wouldn’t spend over a certain amount with them. ... More

We love the community and the floorplan of our home. The workmanship and some materials could be better. Construction Manager was responsive to all our concerns and request.

Sales department and building department are not aligned. Definitely have opportunities to improve

Elson was awesome from start to finish. Andrea and Andre needs customer service training. Cheyenne was great. Overall the experience was decent. The process was smooth although I was a nervous wreck.

little ability to understand immigration issues that end up harming the buyer.

Nothing special. It would have been nice to be able to select a few features of the home. Communication from the walk through and on has been unimpressive, and it is challenging to get the correct information.

The loan process was overall okay. There were parts where they left us hanging on what’s going with the loan. The house overall was very good. Several issues needed to be fix, but took too long to respond to us about when to get it fix. Some parts of the house where missing or missed paint. It was pointed out during inspection that there some several spot where missing paint. Overall experience Okay.

Read everything that is given to you. Ask plenty of questions before you decide to buy. The walk in initial experience was awesome. The realtor was amazing. However, the most stressful time was the closing. The process was very confusing, stressful and extremely hard to get answers when you need them.

Time frame almost 14 months from signing contract to closing was much too long for basic cookie cutter house. We were first to choose lot in section open for sales, however most of our neighbors closed and moved in before us.

My home was delivered to me 5/almost 6 months late based on the initial expected completion date. Original completion date was mid May and the home actually was completed at the end of October. This has caused several issues for myself, I had to bring in my own cleaning services because paint marks were left on the floors and cabinets throughout the house. When completion dates would get changed no one would notify me and when I would ask why it is getting delayed, I wouldn't get answers for days at a time.

The appliances could have been better. The dishwasher was billed as stainless steel but is plastic inside. I had to deal with problems like cracked tiles that were grouted in even tho cracked, a dead tree in front and setting up the security by myself. Spectrum was the worst. After 3 appointments a troubleshooter was sent and all was done.

We had to wait over a year for home after promise date. COVID was to blame and supply issues more than builder. Poor craftsmanship overall. Needs more quality control.

Overall I’m happy with my decision to buy here. The construction manager is AMAZING!! Nick! I mean, I cannot say enough great things about him and his overall support. My experience was however tainted by Christine the sales person. She was rude, distasteful in the way she spoke to me and my realtor.

This is the second home we built with Lennar in the Vista Blue community. The true reason is that we love the community and the fact that the houses are built to a demanding hurricane code. Where Lennar falls short is in the details of its finished product. The EII program (Everything Is Included) was presented as meaning that top of the line luxury items were all included. But the reality is that the cheapest version of every item was included. We have owned the house for two months and already have replaced all of the appliances and fixtures that were provided by Lennar. EII actually eliminates any choices a buyer might usually have so the selection phase of buying the house is eliminated. Lennar can then build the house sooner without the delays that come from people making choices about what they want. Then Lennar throws them up so fast and so many at a time that nobody could be expected to maintain quality standards--and they don't. ... More

My car has gotten stuck in the garage more times then I can say and no one to help, you have to make virtual help. They hope you won’t Finish work leaves way toon much to be desired . Too many wrong things to go into. Including bottom end product used inside. The one good thing I can say is the head GC was nice. I would never buy another lennar or probably any new build.

First time home buyer. I chose my own realtor and mortgage company instead of what was offered by Lennar, and I'm glad I did. Their preferred lender was not very responsive when I tried to get pre-approval. Estimated completion for the house was relatively on target (2 week push back). My realtor had to press regularly to get updates from Lennar, which did get better towards completion. Inspections were on time and everything was ready at the final walk. All discrepancies were addressed, but more flaws and quality issues were discovered after closing. The house was not cleaned very well. Door frames, window frames, base boards, tile floors still had red dirt that need to be scrubbed off. Obviously there's going to be lots of dust and dirt from construction. But it seemed like there was no effort to actually clean any surface. One window had glass shards in the frame from previously broken glass. Random wood pieces and hardware like screws and nails were found in random places throughout the house. Quality of caulking/sealing in bathroom and kitchen is poor. Not sure why outlets with co-axial and ethernet wiring didn't have connectors. Plenty of misalignment on outlets, switches, panels, and frames. Already had to ask for some minor warrant work. To their credit, Lennar was very responsive but the quality of the work by some of the contractors could be better. One big issue I had was a sewage back up 3 days after moving in. Toilets and tubs had brown water leaking back in. Apparently the sewer pipe leading directly out of the house had a blocking plate that was not removed. Where Lennar could improve is better choice of contractors and better oversight of their contractors. There could be more care and attention. Overall I'm happy with the house but quality workmanship is lacking. ... More

A little over pricedper square foot, but we are on a golf course. Major issues with our address not being recognized by anyone! No deliveries could find us. We can’t change addresses because no websites recognize our new address. I have met some very nice neighbors on the upside.

Overall, it has been a disappointing experience working with Lennar. We brought up multiple concerns during the construction process that were not addressed in a timely basis. As a result, closing was pushed back because they couldn’t get a CO issued. They fired their superintendent and we a new the week before the closing. To date, (almost two months post close) there are still a number of unaddressed issues on their “promise to fix” list.

Visit the lot, ensure you attend all inspections, ask about out of state concerns

They have good and bad. I dealt with some great people in sales like Mike and hated finance past Christian that is. The mortgage process was good but also a headache for sure. But we are all in all happy. Great community with great families, events and great times
