Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

This review is not in regards to the location, the neighborhood, the local schools, etc... It is strictly about Lennar. I purchased a home from Lennar at the end of May 2019. My experience with Lennar before and after purchasing the home has been terrible. This company lacks communication, consistency, and quality, among other things. When we agreed to purchase the home that we liked, the closing date was originally set for early June 19. Lennar contacted us and said that the closing date could be moved up to mid-May. We agreed to that closing date. When that date finally came around, I took off of work to allow time for the walk-through and all of the paperwork that comes along with closing. It was getting late on the day of closing and Lennar had still not contacted me to come do the walk-through. They finally contacted me and said that there wasn't time to close and we would have to do it at a later day. I went up to look at the house the next day and saw that the house was nowhere near ready and that they made no attempt to even close on the day that they moved it up to. I was extremely frustrated that I sacrificed an entire workday for nothing. Eddie, the area manager, and Drew, the sales rep, made no attempt to apologize or compensate me for this. Several days later, I walked through the house with Mario, the construction manager at the time, and put up blue tape on areas that needed a paint touch-up. After a while he has another appointment and said that Drew, the sales rep, was on his way to assist me in continuing the process. When the sales rep showed up, he aggressively told me to leave the home and that if I didn't like the way it looked, the house wasn't mine to buy. At the same time, I noticed that there was a bird's nest in the attic which was the result of a gap in the roof I had brought to their attention in the past, but they told me it was nothing. My wife and I moved into the home on June 2nd, and there are issues that we identified before ever purchasing the home that we are still dealing with today. The most recent is chips in the floor, which has now turned into a 5-week process just to replace a couple of panels on the floor. Lennar left the laundry room vent blocked which caused a blockage between my dryer machine and the vent exit on the ceiling of the house. This is a major fire hazard. The fence gate has broke 3 times. Paint on the outside of the house began to peel off. There was a missing baseboard. There was paint in the carpet and on the flooring throughout the house, and when I brought this up they told me to just to get a washcloth and clean it up myself. There are paint chips and inconsistencies in the paint in every single room of the house, they told me to use the provided touch up paint to fix it myself. I appreciate that the house came with sod and an irrigation system, but the way they laid the sod was extremely careless. Since we first met with Lennar, we have gone through 3 construction managers. As you can imagine, this has caused inconsistency and confusion in communication. I would never recommend Lennar to any of my friends or family. I strongly discourage anyone that reads this to buy a Lennar home. ... More

Overall, my experience with Lennar has been extremely disappointing. As a homeowner, I trusted that I was purchasing a safe, well-built property. Instead, I am dealing with serious safety hazards, potential structural/plumbing issues, and a lack of accountability from the builder.

The only positive thing I have to say about my experience is Evelyn on the loan side. She was extremely helpful in helping me! She literally did multiple jobs, because others were not. Multiple things went wrong through the whole process. First time buying a home and it’s been nonstop headache. I haven’t even made my first mortgage payment and my fence fell and Lennar refuses to fix it. Been w/out waste service and was getting the run around and come to find out, you have to have it set up w/ HOA. Which nobody told me, I learned that from the county office after not having trash service for over a month. Gas got shut off, because I thought it was included w/ the electric, which didn’t have hot water for four days. Lastly, they told me they don’t do blue tape during the walkthrough and there were countless imperfections. Such as imperfections all over the walls, ceilings, mismatched paint, my front door has a piece missing out of it and my master bath mirror was broken and they refused to fix it. I learned from 2 of my friends who bought a Lennar home in 2025 got to do a thorough walkthrough w/ blue tape, but I didn’t and I wish I had. Definitely, would have went w/ any other builder, but Lennar was cheaper. You get what you pay for. ... More

Finance was a nightmare, constantky saying one last thing. Then workmanship is shotty, some things caught before clising that they said they would fix. THEY LIED! DON'T TRUST. NASTY PEOPLE. Can't wait for Karma to pay them a visit.

Issues arise, I put tickets in. They get marked completed. Nothing‘s completed. The issues I had at my final walk-through still have not been done even though I’ve also put in more tickets and those have also been marked completed. I do not think there is insulation in parts of my house because the walls are paper thin I can hear people talking outside the vehicles on the road sound like I’m sitting in the road. I have a gas leak that has not been checked, even though I have made them aware. Also when they sent people to clean the house, they left the owners manual in the dishwasher and it burned on the heating element and two months later after scrubbing the dishwasher clean my dishwasher still smells horrific the initial individual that I was in contact with who was supposed to help me with any problems has completely vanished and will not return my messages or phone calls. The only reason I am giving some any stars is because there has been three individuals who have been overly kind but out of two fistfuls that is all. everybody else that I talk to just says oh I understand and nothing gets done and the HOA that I am paying an exuberant amount of money for is doing nothing in this neighborhood. There are cars parked all over the street. People’s yards are full of weeds trash cans are left out all the time and these are all things that should not be happening. ... More

My tenant noticed gas leak smell at home and only resulted to finger pointing. Lennar pointing to Appliance Company and the Appliance Company pointing to plumbing and Gas Company. The Gas Company then pointing to the others. When nobody is taking ownership I expect Lennar to bring all of them together and get the issue resolved. My experience has been very painful 2 months into the purchase. Also at the purchase time I was not told that HOA is going to take trash ownership too. I was expecting trash to be another utility that the tenants owns and pays for. It makes no sense for it to be including in HOA. ... More

The paint used for the defects found on the walls or doors did not match. We have not even moved in the house and there is a crack in the living area already.

The entire experience was trash from start to finish. Poor communication, wasted time, mixed messages, and zero follow through. I had to chase answers, repeat myself, and deal with unnecessary confusion that should never happen in a basic transaction. The only good part of this experience was Ana. She was helpful, responsive, and actually did her job. Without Ana, this would have been a complete failure. Everyone else dropped the ball. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience

First off the experience was terrible. The only good thing is that the house is put together mostly right. Only here a month and a breaker went out already. I the buying process we had to drop 23,000 on closing costs because lennar did not cover anything. No offer or nothing to cover any of the cost on top of paying 261000 in a loan all because we did not use their loan officer or lender. We did not use their inspector either. The yard was done terrible and they only put in grass 15 feet from the back door. Our yard is at least 60 feet by 60 feet. The house was dirty when we arrived with dirt all over the floor and trash in the yard. The garage had lots of paint chips on the ground and we found parts that were laying on the ground with no explanation of where they are supposed to go. No blinds were put in and internet was not activated before we got there. Also the internet is supposed to be included in the HOA but we were not asked if we wanted it in the first place. All in all the experience was terrible, no consideration for us as buyers and moving costs and charged full closing cost which made us dislike lennar very much. Would not recommend to anyone. ...

It started out with the broken promises from sale people, managers to tittle. Lennar cheated in every step and trained their personnel to be as tricky as possible. I did not expect a high quality home when purchasing three of them at the same time, but these Lennar products were poorly designed and horrible built. When I pointed out the problems before the closing, they blocked my phone number and never addressed the problems.the vinyl flooring has large gaps, ceiling corners cracked wide open, it look like the house had been thought an earthquake! Lennar installed an empty wall box in the garage instead of the 220v outlet for EV. They installed a passage handle on the bathroom door instead of privacy handle! This was the biggest mistake of my life to deal with the home builder: LENNAR! ... More

I was informed before closing and after the initial inspection that I paid for that all deficiencies would be fixed. There was a minor crack in the outside foundation. I commented about it and was told by the independent inspector. Don't worry the builders correct that. After I paid wired funds I had to sign off on repairs being completed. There i was told: company policy says we don't fix that crack. They don't put a glaze on it either. I was informed about 8 missing window blinds were a deficiency. Same response: company policy we don't fix that. I was also brought to the backyard and told you were told you would get sod for your entire yard. Well we don't do that.bCompany policy. You get some. You better pay a lot of money to water it or it will look dead. It won't be dead. Trust us. If I could unbuy this house I would. Oh and on top of this during closing you took too much money from my account. Did you apply it to my mortgage? Absolutely not. Did you give me an option to bring a check? No. Did you let me bring cash? No. Did you let me send them via ACH and pay less. No. So the overpayment lies in limbo. I called and asked can you just print it for me. No company policy. My take home message: lennar we will treat the home buyer like garbage. ... More

The staff was generally unhelpful, often disrespectful, and consistently untimely. The overall workmanship and quality of materials used in the home are subpar. When I moved in, the house appeared hastily assembled—there was glue left on the floors (which is still there, as the property manager was unable to remove it), and multiple cabinets were misaligned and required adjustment. Several doors and paint areas were left incomplete or showed noticeable yellowing. The paint has been cracked since day one and continues to worsen, despite multiple requests for repair. Overall, the quality and follow-through have been disappointing. ... More

Not very flexible and we have had to request plumbing warranty once and electrical 3 times in just the first month. Quality control is not very good….

My whole experience was horrible. From start to end. Even after I closed the house was gross, the construction guy did not fixed the window that I pointed out during my last walk. They took forever to do the final city inspection even after I had already closed on the house. My gas was cut off because no one informed me that the city had done the inspection several weeks after I closed even though I would call weekly and could never get answers. I will never do business with you again and if it wasn’t because my wife wanted the house in that community I would have given y’all the finger. Beyond Horrible experience ... More

Buying from Lennar has been one of the most frustrating experiences. They rushed the build of our home, clearly more focused on putting up houses for numbers than on quality. From day one, we were handed dead grass and trees — it looked neglected before we even moved in. When issues come up, they fight you every step of the way. Instead of standing behind their work, they make the process of getting anything fixed extremely difficult. To make matters worse, they only repair drywall cracks once, even though more appear as the house settles. Most recently spilled chemical in my yard and refuse to take accountability . For a company of this size, the lack of accountability and care is shocking. If you value quality, follow-through, and basic customer service, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. ... More

Lennar is the only affordable builder in San Antonio and they take advantage of that distinction. Lowest quality builder grade materials are used. Construction manager lied three different times that issues identified by third-party inspector were resolved. Later, he couldn't distinguish between main water line or hot/cold water lines. Internet service is mandatory so that builder receives a kickback for every new buyer and it is NOT included in your HOA fees. There is an additional monthly charge. HOA received over $1,000 in closing documents even though no one could explain the charges accurately. Expect very little and you won't be disappointed. ... More

Lennar has been my worst experience ever! False info on home loan, worst communication. No one was here to congratulate me when I received my keys! Loan officer lied to me about numbers! I had to wire money twice

When shopping for the house Koral was great, she was friendly, and took her time to make sure we weren't rushed, she took us to multiple neighborhoods and houses to make sure we found what we thought was going to be the right house. Abraham and Erica made our mortgage process seamless and painless, they were very responsive to any questions we had and were always on top of reaching out when they needed something from us. Everything was looking up until the day of closing we were never given a time to actually close on the house, we called to the Lennar title office multiple times leading up to the day of closing and it was difficult to get in contact with anyone, when we did get someone on the phone we couldn't get a straight answer, when we finally got an answer it was that we would be closing first thing in the morning to ensure we can pick up the keys since the pickup times are strictly set for 11:00am and 4:00pm. The day of closing we had not received anything for closing and reached back out to the title office and again it was very difficult to get in contact with anyone and when we did we were constantly told that we needed to talk to one specific person who was very difficult to get in contact with. We were eventually told that they were still working on all of our documents when we were told previously that everything was ready to go. We missed the 11:00am pick up time for the keys and were hopeful to get everything finished in time for the 4:00pm pick up time. As time approached 4:00pm with no update we reached out to Koral and to Abraham who are not involved with title but were great helps again in getting things on track with the title office, when we expressed our concerns that we wouldn't be closing in time to pick up our keys Koral coordinated for someone to stay late in order to ensure we could pick up the keys. When we finally got the closing documents there mistakes that had to be corrected which only further delayed our closing. We got the information for the virtual closing with the notary around 4:30 that day, once we finished up we got the okay to pick up the keys and head to our new house. Walking into the house we were greeted with a slew of things not cleaned up, there was dirt all over the floor, paint splatter, adhesive residue, and dirty hand prints all throughout the house, and the house was riddled with bugs. During our blue tape walkthrough we noted that there was missing weather-stripping on the doors and we were surprised to see it was still missing when we moved in, we also found out that our living room only had power when the back porch light was on, we had a leak under the master bathroom sink, and water damage to the cabinet, one of the circuit breakers kept flashing its arc fault indicator, and it turns out it was due to one of the wires on one to the GFCI outlets not being secured, we had to open the knockout for the drain house for our washer in the box in the laundry room since it was still closed. We had asked for a copy of the third party inspection report but all we got was a one page document saying the house passed. I don't see how with all of these issues it passed. When submitting warranty claims for these items some were addressed quickly and professionally, while others not even close. The leak under the sink was addressed quickly and was told that the cabinet would be repaired after the leak was fixed. Chris was the one handling this particular claim and he was scarce to reply, I would reach out for updates about the cabinet, he would give dates and times when he would be by to look at it. Those times would come and go with no communication from him, I would reach out and see if he wanted to reschedule and wouldn't hear anything. The only way it seemed I could get him to respond was by submitting new claims for the issue. After a little more than 4 weeks the cabinet was finally addressed. And the "repair" was just to cover up the damage on the lower shelf of the cabinet by laying a thin piece over the top, ignoring the damage to the left wall of the cabinet. When I expressed my concerns about the so called "repair" and how there was the potential for mold underneath the cabinet due to the leak being so bad that it came out from underneath the cabinet. Chris told me that my concerns don't exist. My wife is allergic to mold and we have a baby on the way and not addressing the risk of mold poses a health risk. When our sod was laid in the yard it was absolutely riddled with weeds and other invasive plants. The yard is so uneven and bumpy after it was graded for the sod, and the landscapers laid the sod in a way that our gate was stuck open and had to be trimmed to close. I came home one afternoon to find that half of the fence on the right side of the house fell down shortly after moving in. I wouldn't recommend these houses to anyone after what we've experienced in the 2 months we've lived here, the quality is bad, there's no pride in the work, no integrity to do things right, all the work that's contracted out seems like its done as cheaply and as quickly as possible, and then when issues are brought up they are ignored and you're hung out to dry. This home was supposed to be the place where my wife and I stated a family together but it has just become a nightmare. ... More

The entire process was negative. The salesperson was clueless. The loan officers were unprofessional. The construction manager was helpful. The title person would not return my call. She gave me the wrong cost to closing. I can not recommend Lennar to anyone.

A lot of cut corners

Was always told never to buy this builder by multiple realtor friends but went ahead anyways because I liked the house itself. Getting a response or getting them to take care of pressing issues was like pulling teeth. If you’re not prepared to continuously harass them for a response on any issue you have don’t buy here. As a first time home buyer this was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience. All these people want is your money, they don’t care about anything else. Good luck getting a hold of anyone once you close as well. Just go look at the community reviews. Now I know better moving forward. ... More

I bought 2 homes and had the worst experience with Marshall the loan officer. He treated us like 2nd rate citizens and gate kept the entire process. We are seasoned home purchasers and have never had this worse of an experience. Derek the construction manager was also awful. The house was supposed to be ready for a final walkthru and wasn’t ready, we had to come back. He was complacent and really uncaring. I will do my business with another home builder than Lennar.

I had the worst experience buying my house. Didn’t get to close on time because of lack of communication with lennar and their employees.

Cheap materials. Cheap solutions. Poor communication skills from associates. First time home buying experience was kind of sad. Only good is the response time on warranty requests. Would never recommend and regret my decision in purchasing a Lennar home.

I was told like many of my neighbors that we would only get 15 feet of sod. They got full sod and I didn’t. When I finally requested my sod installed… it was too late. There are other houses in the neighborhood that do not have their sod installed yet; but we are too late (don’t understand). The house did not come with towel racks in both bathrooms, no walk in shower door, no fans, no garbage door opener, no sprinklers, no doorbell, no water spout in the back of the house and the other frames of the windows were not painted. The fencing stopped short allowing people to walk to the windows of some of the bedrooms and the living room; things were not thought out with the owner’s interest in mind and alot of money was clearly saved by Lennar because of it. I know what to expect from this company moving forward. ... More
