Lennar Reviews

Constant having to call and make corrections that should of been caught during inspection. Builder doesnt seem to give a crap about craftsmanship for the price you pay for a house these days.

Post closing issues can be hard to address, set up appointments for, or have work orders finished correctly. Have to keep calling and reminding them about fixes.

Salesman threatened us. because we did not go with Lennar's preferred lender, which is owned by Lennar. Salesman stated in clear terms, if the lender we chose, a national mortgage company, was not ready at a moment's notice to close , Lennar would keep our deposit and sell the home elsewhere.

Everything about the exterior is amazing. The inside quality was rushed. The painting, caulking, lighting, and details were all very poorly done. If they did not rush to get it done the house would be perfect. The craftsmanship just went out the door because of the rush for whatever reason.

Lennar has good customer service and communication. The subcontractors however are poor quality and the workmanship throughout the house is poor. We are having to put in too many warranty requests already for a brand new house because so many things are wrong and poorly done.

The sales office was amazing and always available. Once we were referred to the construction personnel, it was not always responded to in a timely matter. The quality of some of the work and products used were less than promised and when questioned met with a response of “ that is how it is done here”! The Lennar lender was slow in response and after closing we found an error in use of funds by attorney. The Lender advised us to solve the issue with the new lender once the loan is sold. Very frustrating, since everyone was paid for services they did incorrectly and after closing will not correct issue. They want us to fix their mistake with additional funds. Lennar had a good reputation on the west coast but it seems like a different story here. Due to Covid is a common excuse but I wonder if it is overused. We are generally satisfied with our home but the total experience was nothing special. ... More

The basic structure is good and I like my home, but there are many details in the finish that were not done correctly. The human response was not good (all stages: sales, mortgage, warranty, etc).

Notified less than 5 days before closing that move-in was would be delayed due to cabinetry not available. This notification came after I resigned from my job, sold my home in Atlanta, and just before the drive to relocate to Florida. I stayed in a hotel for 3 weeks until unit was ready for move-in. Lennar did take care of the costs.

Working with the sales agent was a pleasant experience. However, Lennar was rushing me to close on a home that wasn’t ready for move in and 2 months later I’m still chasing after people to fix things that should’ve been done prior to closing.

can provide more quality based homes. Once the house is signed, we need to take care of all the issues. Quality of house is not that much appreciated. When I put up same question, they mentioned its human build and mistakes will happen, which was not expected. Final inspection should be done by team and identify issues and close it before customer do it.

I will start by saying I love the floorplan I chose. I am disappointed with unkept promises by agent. Lennar Mortgage was very stressful and changed the interest rate at the last minute. The quality of work - paint droppings on the floors and molding (did not use painters' tape), cheap paint, several areas are bleeding through, ceiling showing sheetrock seams/cracks, there are areas of 'rough' wood where it should have been sanded, doors put up backwards, attic cut into ceiling inside house - should be garage only, can't reach attic stairs - cut too short...they said all of this was COSMETIC but later advised it won't be repaired because they will only touch up NAIL POPS at my 1 year warranty and not even paint. In a year I will have to repaint my entire home to cover the spots! Also, wrong color carpet installed. ... More

While the builder and senior management have very good intentions and would like the products and services to be excellent, I am not sure the staff at the lower level and executors of strategy and goals are aligned. There were a number of fauklts pointed out to builders during house construction which were ignored and some of these were not minor problems. Band aid solutions or explanations were provided. The Lennar Mortgage process was unnecessarily painful - I would never go for Lennar Mortgage. Closing process was extremely rushed with very little explanations. I have taken mortgages and done closing for several homes in different geographies - this was the worst. ... More

Not the best homebuying experience. Sales office was on the ball in getting answers and were enjoyable to work with. Quality of construction and finish work is mediocre at best. Mixing of finishes on plumbing and lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware was astounding. No apparent effort to coordinate!

Build quality was pretty low. House was rushed and it shows. Home was not clean well before move. Sense move in we have been having to get things fixed. The building manager has been very nice and helpful, but does not excuse the fact that the quilty of the home was not was to be expected.

Like any other home, I imagine there were small problems that would pop up but were generally quickly handled by Lennar. The sinks in the home all around are absolutely terrible. None are designed to drain food and water. They are mostly flat and therefore don't drain very well. The kitchen sink particularly would have been better off with a 2 basin sink that actually allowed itmes to flow downward and drain.

Overall I am happy with the buying experience. I lived out of state while my home was being built. Cindy was on it weekly keeping me up to date and answering questions. Now that I have been here close to 2 months, I am slowly getting inside issues taken care of. In my opinion the finishing around the bath tubs and caulking’s around the baseboard could use attention to detail. The home is beautiful inside and out.

There are two out maybe six people I dealt with that knew what was going on. The title people were awful to deal with. The house is great, but can tell it is a track home with the cheaper materials used. A lot of stuff was scratched, broke, not finished when e arrived. Sloppy

Be aware of the Move in Ready line. our house was not clean, the yard is 2 different types of sod, there were plumbing and electrical issues with the house that took 30 days to get corrected. I feel the corporation was in a rush to close and overlooked many quality issues. We will not buy another Lennar Home.

Construction manager was very responsive to our questions, post closing. Suggestion: at closing, all incomplete work documented and signed by Lennar rep. And buyers as done by GL homes. This would alleviate buyer anxiety.

Delays in construction. The quality is terrible. We were made to do a walkthrough of the townhouse when there was absolutely nothing ready. They took another 4 weeks to complete. If that was known to the folks working there why would they schedule and walkthrough and try to close just to show the numbers at the end of month? Had roof leak on the first rain after moving in. Great response to attend that but being quality builder this is not acceptable.

I found the construction manager and the followup great. The sales people were also very responsive and helpful. The overall construction was less than I expected for the price that I paid...ie the backyard requires more fill in order to stabilize the patio, the bathroom window is clear and look directly out on a neighbors entry, the grouting was very poorly done in many areas.

I wish communication with sales agent was easier. On several occasions, we had to initiate communication. Even if sales agent doesnt have answers, Im ok with that - but that needs to be communicated.

This is our second Lennar home and we love the floorplan. Their homes are good values, but this one had many more quality issues than our first. Also they used to brag about how technologically advanced their homes were, but perhaps due to covid and staffing shortages, the technology in this home was essentially a DIY exercise. The home was not even close to ready when we did our walk through and the closing was bumped twice due to garage door availability. A few of the more major issues were: 1. The kitchen cabinets and granite in the kitchen weren't set properly and the range/oven didn't even fit in the resulting hole! They are going to reset the cabinets and the granite. Hopefully this will be done well. 2. The Kitchen floor also sloped and the island granite had to be shimmed 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to level out the surface. This wasn't done well and looked really bad. We will see how they choose to fix this. 3. The door to the garage is crooked in the frame, allowing light and wind to come in. It isn't clear if this can be fixed without replacing the door. 4. Lastly, the most disappointing thing was the internet pre-wire. While they used CAT5e wiring and have a nice sized equipment box in the home, they actually terminated the CAT5 internet wire in each room with TELEPHONE plugs! This was done correctly in our 2018 Lennar home. This meant I had to rewire EVERY internet outlet in the home if I wished to use them for their intended purpose. The RJ45 internet jacks are NOT hard to come by, so this was done just because Lennar didn't want to pay their installer to do the job right the first time. 4. Most items identified before and during the walk through weren't finished at closing, and a few of the large issues are still being worked 5-6 weeks after closing. This is the fourth home we have built, but this has been by far our most frustrating home building experience. Since we didn't live in the city of the build, we couldn't keep track of their progress or lack thereof. ... More

Sales and initial communication was great. Quality of workmanship was average. Some good items in the house and some cheap items. More effort on cleanup before move in would help. Fixing the problems is taking a long time (or maybe they will never be fixed?).

Lennar uses limited flexibility in options/changes approach to hold schedules tightly. That's good thing as you know it up front. On the downside, our house required significant effort to make it livable due to Lennar cost cutting : no towel racks, inadequate closet hardware, no light fixtures, etc. We had several minor quality issues, all of which were quickly fixed with the help of the Lennar customer support rep. And the "smart" home features are really nice!
