Lennar Reviews

Check inside refrigerator, how crisper drawer pulls out. Check how manual slider lock in garage was installed. Check your microwave above stove - can you see how it’s cooking. Short people can’t see what is going on.

They rushed at the last min and many thing like the mail has been a inconvenience.

Used cheap materials, and it shows. Why no gutters? Think where the water goes when it rains, and it rains a lot in florida. Appliances are cheap, who buys a side by side fridge? The walk thru with a Lennar guy made me feel like I was complaining when all I wanted was a good home, I think I deserve that for $350,000.

The closing was forced as the home was not completed. We had over 2 dozen things that needed completed. If we didn't close the day we did the interest rate went way up. Seven weeks after closing we still have at least 10 items on the punch list still needing completed. Knowing who to talk to at Lennar is irritating. The sour experience we are still going through has ruined the sweetness of buying our final new home.

Take time to notice the things one would not even look at during your walk thru, like quality of workmanship done by the building construction team. Take time to notice the backyard grass section the various slope grades, possibly work done in a hurry by the land surveyor landscaping team. My opinion is the Surveyors team should have noticed the various issues of backyard ? Such as grass/grade/slope, grass rolls planted on top of rocks? Not even to walk on. But Lennar has been great to respond to all issues I will say! so I commend the Lennar North point team, and thank them 100% for their caring response time repairing all issues. Lennar is Great. ...

Unfortunately this time around, buying lennar was not a legendary experience. Lots of delays, cancel inspection without prior notifications, final closing postponed x3-4 times. Too many Customer care representatives and no one up front to attend the customer concerns.. Do want to thank Mrs Oliveira from title/closing for her professionalism and Mr Mike McCarthy for his attention to detail.

Not sure that the builder understood customer service. Pile of dirt in the garage on final walkthru. Said that he pressure washed the garage 5 weeks ago. Therefore, not his problem that there was a pile of dirt. Emily stepped in and had it cleaned. Thank you. Still waiting for my windows to be repaired (over 2 months) says that the subs are real busy. Otherwise, pretty responsive.

Walk through was too quick.

We had a number of delays during construction and ended up closing almost 3 months late. Our home is beautiful and worth was worth the wait. We do love the community we moved into. We do feel there were things that Lennar handled very poorly. Our home was not completely ready we feel to close. Weather this was the fault of Lennar or several of the utilities it is still unclear. None of the TV/Internet providers that service the community were prepared for the closing of our home and several others. It took 2 months and a lot of pressure to finally get our home connected. We feel that Lennar did not take the issue serious and did very little to help. We our home being a "smart" home, there were many of the features we we not able to use on day one. This I feel is a big problem for a builder that uses that as a big selling point. Lastly they talked during our acceptance walk that we shouldn't worry about small imperfections, we will have a 30 day walk to capture man small aesthetic items. We have yet to have that walk and we have been in our home for almost 2 months. Again i do love our home and would likely buy a Lennar home again, but there is definitely room for improvement. ...

This is my second house with lennar. At the time of purchase agreement there is a promotion of 2.5 % off when you buy 2nd home with lennar but sales consultant refused the offer because I am using realtor. That’s totally unfair

I absolutely love the location and community. The workmanship is quite good, and I'm pleased with my purchase. The construction manager, Sam, provided top-notch service, and he went out of his way to assist me several times. Sam was the bright spot. My experience elsewhere was disappointing, to say the least. My top complaint is the poor communication with me and within the Lennar functional areas. I often received conflicting information or was provided with information that wasn't true. For example, I was told (in writing) that once I took possession, I could set up my cable service with Spectrum and that Spectrum could only accommodate installations in the 3rd week of the following month after purchase. This is not true. My cable was installed the day I closed. I was shuttled between 3 different salespeople, which resulted in a lack of communication continuity, which resulted in several episodes of confusion. I was told that the garage door opener and mailbox keys would be in my house and mailbox keys could be picked up from the sales office after closing. They weren't. There were multiple times when I went by the sales office during normal business hours and nobody was there. Imagine my frustration when I was told to go back to the sales office to get the keys and they were gone. When I finally received the keys, they were for the wrong resident. It took over 3 weeks to get the mailbox key matter resolved, and I never received any communication without me asking. The mortgage process was no better. I was asked to submit items previously submitted multiple times, there were errors in the pro forma statements provided, and I was shuttled between multiple mortgage contacts. Expectations for the entire process are not communicated upfront, which causes a tremendous amount of confusion and anxiety. I'd still purchase a home here, and I hope the next buyer has a better experience than mine. In a world focused on enhanced customer experience, this experience missed the mark. ... More

Overall; for the price paid, expected better. No warranty on landscaping, poor quality in trees and lawn; after two weeks of moving in; 80% landscaping had to be replaced. Elevation of backyard was poor; created a swampy mud hole; as far as the home design; no upgrades were available to choose from just a basic package with 3 different exterior designs. Not a fan of the security devices that come with home , so we purchased another brand / vendor. Best to take your time and really compare builders vs value.

We were told that once Lennar received the certificate of occupancy we had to close shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, there were many items not completed when we moved in 2 weeks after we had closed including gas line not connected to dryer, fridge circuit breaker not holding, pool (which was very expensive) not operational, cabinets not completely in, a water leak coming into the den, and many other punch lists items. Our construction manager has been great in trying to resolve these problems but a lot of it is out of his hands as he has to rely on sub-contractors. Six weeks after our close our pool is just now almost ready, cabinets are still not done, and there are still 1/2 dozen other items on the punch list. The warranty department is doing its best as well in trying to solve these issues but it is all taking quite a bit of time. ... More

my sales agent was terrible. closing was a nightmare. very poor communication, no response to emails, no updates. Only positive thing about the whole home buying experience is our customer relationship manager.

Quality of workmanship is poor. Value is low compared the price paid. The paint quality is poor. Warranty team responds to issues raised but would not fix everything.

It was ok, not a exceptional one

My experience with Diane and Jennifer who were my loan officers was a nightmare, as I had to explain several times a day over a period of over 4 months for my documents and loan processing. I had to settle for quarter point higher rate due to their delay in rate lock. The build quality left a few things to be finished like garage footboard, and finish quality of cabinets and windows, design of mater bedroom. Though Heather did her best to deliver the home it had a handful of deficiencies and poor inspection of HVAC and appliances. Overall our experience was average with much to be desired for a townhome that cost over 1/2 million. ... More

The process during our walk through before closing was very rushed therefore not being able to catch things that needed to be addressed. Now that we have moved in there are still things that weren’t done correctly and remain poorly done.

Closing was a nightmare. The first closing appointment was cancelled without notification. I was at the second appointment from 12:00 to 8:15 PM. All I heard that day was "we're waiting on paperwork. Then the house keys were not available and they weren't sure where they were so I was unable to go to the house that day as planned. I had to go to the model home the next day to get the keys.

Lennars sales personnel is great. Unfortunately that's where it ends. It must be the material and labor shortage because the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired we have been in this house for nearly two months now and are still waiting for the work to be completed.(front door and frame along with all the closet doors and cabinets has to be replaced inside the house has to be repainted)I hope this is not the Lennars MO if it is I believe your reputation will suffer

Lennar offer great price but lack in quality

Sales person was very good! Overall quality is average; it is an expensive track home Home was not cleaned very well at closing Warranty items are usually handled in a timely manner; warranty person is very good Our mortgage Loan through Lennar mortgage company was a difficult and a frustrating process

A lot of issues still left to be resolved but overall an ok experience

Overall the quality control systems by lennar are poor to average at best. Their system is cumbersome and it takes many attempts in order to get issues resolved. Seem like they are rushing delivery of homes in order to make up monthly numbers to meet Wall Street expectations and in so doing a lot is left undone before closing which forces you into warranty for completion. Worked with many builders and it definitely seem that upper management needs to re-evaluate at their operations.

The up front contacts and salesmanship were very good; the financial support process was quite poor; the construction is average with many nice features but too many punchlist items to work through; the HOA is pricey and not helpful at all; the landscaping is average; great community and location however; people are almost all friendly and responsive.
