Lennar Reviews in Norfolk Newport News, VA

The selling/builder agent was awesome. The property is beautiful. However, Lennar Mortgage representatives did not pay any significant attention to the buyers needs or wants. We had difficulty communicating and being responded to. They were not able to close on the date we had originally agreed upon for no apparent reason other than they weren’t ready. Every time we talked to a mortgage representative, It was like the first time we were being introduced. A very horrible and not well orchestrated event. I would not recommend using linear mortgage to handle the closing. If not for the incentives that were offered, we would have walked away. ... More

Upon moving in, they left windows open that we could not reach or see, which led to water damage, the workmanship on the construction is horrible, even to the naked eye. There are issues with stairs that don’t align, finishings that don’t align, paint on floor and carpet, and many other workmanship issues. When asked to fix prior to moving in, they declined to do it and said it is what it is, and made up lame excuses. With the visible workmanship being as bad as it is, it’s worrisome what can’t be seen. Our grass was also left unattended when the sod was put down, and they never watered it, so we showed up to completely dead grass. After months of demanding it get addressed, they reluctantly finally did. But the sod they put down was poor sod and even watering twice a day, a lot is dead. AC and heat does not work correctly either. On top of those things, we also chose to get our mortgage from Lennar, which has turned out to be a terrible idea and would not do again. They sold our mortgage prior to first payment, and for months now still have not taken the mortgage off of their account, and are demanding us to pay them as well as the company they sold the mortgage to. We declined and they proceeded to send it to credit bureau. And when trying to get them on the phone to discuss, they leave us on waiting for hours, and if we do get someone, gets disconnected and we have to go through hold again. Our concern as well is that they are doing this to us because we are Hispanic. Since the beginning of dealing with them, we have been treated less than and asked absurd questions to even get the mortgage, which we should have just take the red flag and walked away. I truly believe that Lennar is a racist company and that is why we are experiencing what we are experiencing, and that the second they realized they were selling a home to a Hispanic, they chose to not care about workmanship as well. ...

extremely poor performance on Lennar's part. the house is still not complete two months after "forced" closing. now paying on a property that we cannot move into since construction is still not complete. no response or follow up on their part. would not recommend this company to anyone.

Community is very nice. House should Have lights in all rooms. Installing a fence is a horrible experience; Lennar should have system to get one in a timely, cost effective manner. Sale contracts are error riddled, impossible to understand, and so generic they have 50% not applicable. Have a contract for cash and another for financing.
