Reseñas de Lennar

Abysmal experience with builder. Beware. Over 30 items on our punch list were ignored or halfway completed to satisfaction. Should have been a great experience as this was supposed to be my "last" home purchase in this 55 and older community. Instead, it was defeating and super stressful.

We had flooring issues and although I appreciate Lennar taking care of the issue our baseboards and walls were destroyed in the process. We were told painters cannot be scheduled until January and the damage is beyond what paint can fix. We had to do a key release for a week while the work was being done which is fine but the workers used our spare restroom and soiled our bath mats past being able to be cleaned and left urine stains on our toilet. The home was turned back over to us filthy. Lennar then had cleaners come the following morning after we requested and they cleansed the bathroom however the floor was still filthy. We have before and after photos for proof. We were extremely disappointed at the lack of professionalism and oversight on these issues. Our baseboards are a mess, holes everywhere and they do not even line up. ... Más

Very difficult to get repair work completed. We also have a common area behind our property that we were told would be cleaned up and landscaped when we closed. We have been in our home for 4 months and cannot get the area cleaned up. It is very embarrassing.

From the first step into Lennar we were not pleased, we house hunted in January. The sales representative, was over an hour late for our appt that we scheduled with him, and then he told us to just go show ourselves around the 2 options of properties, which we did. Then he met with us after and after falling in absolute love with one of the models he tells us its a 2 year wait. This is why he should have spoken with us first and not just sent us in. We were looking to move very quickly because i was pregnant at the time and due in early June. We decided we would go with the only house available because it was the ONLY house available anywhere we looked Lennar or not. We felt under the gun. Lennar was not our first choice. We signed in February with Lennar and put down our deposit after talking with Mortgage Lender assigned to us. The first phone call we had with him was SUPER informative and I felt great about signing with Lennar Mortgage. Lender seemed on the ball and we were ready to take advantage of the incentives when choosing Lennar Mortgage to finance our home. Our target close date was May 12th, and Sales rep told us he had yet to see a home close late, and likely the house would be done May 5th and he would do everything in his power to get us in earlier than the 12th. We understood this was not set in stone to move in early, but it sure did sound promising. Our quoted purchase price was originally $339,000 and change and we were ready to put money down that day and sign contract, "but we couldn't because the house wasn't listed to sell yet", however we were also told the house was only available because another family had previously purchased it and then backed out, so it was relisted again. So about a week later we were able to sign contract and lock in our actual purchase rate. Sales rep told us the MOST it would go up would be 6k $345,000, but every other house he had sold had only gone up $500 a week. OF COURSE ours was anything but average. It went up the full 6k. Unsettling from the start. We were ready to sign and lock in the price, Lennar dragged their feet in order to get as much money out of us as they could. As time progressed, my husband and I would visit the home weekly to watch it be built. In March/April, we noticed a stand still on our house for quite some time. However much to our surprise one day sales rep sent us progress photos of the house with drywall in it and told us our new closing date would be April 30th! When I got home and showed my husband the photos he noticed it wasn't our home. It was in fact the house next door to us. Lucky for them they were closing 12 days early, we met the neighbor prior and asked him when his original closing date was and he said it was the same as ours 5/12. My husband called Rep and told him the error he had made, and Rep of course was mortified of his mistake, but that still doesn't take away the feeling of upset from us. So like I said our house was at a stand still for 3 weeks. 1 window in the master bath held up construction for 3 weeks, we got no information from anyone about why this was happening until they finally got the window in stock. We finally moved from under contract, to within our 30 days of closing. Which was now May 28th, 16 days late. But don't worry, Lennar will FOR SURE close on May 28th because it's the end of quarter for them, so they won't let me slip through the cracks, according to Rep. Everything with Lender went smoothly to get all of the documentation submitted, the online portal makes uploading everything extremely easy. Now that we are in our 30 day window I swear Lender went MIA. I would text him, email, call, voicemail him, call others asking where he is for no avail. Every time he would answer my call in regards to my questions about closing documents and different disclosures he would send, he would tell me 'oh yea just sign it and we will get the kinks worked out later, lets just get this pushed through and you approved'. I would tell him that I didn't feel comfortable signing the document when it showed different figures than what he and I had previously discussed and he responded with "you're welcome to go with a different lender if you'd like." COCKY like he knew I wouldn't do that because I was pregnant and we were finally within our closing range. Our rates were originally quoted at 2.99% to be in my name only, my husband has poor credit so in order to qualify for a conventional loan we had to use just me, again pregnant working until 9 months pregnant, every day closer and closer to my due date, every day they pushed close meaning that I had to continue working. So now that were able to lock in a rate Lender informs me that the rate is now 3.6% for me and I don't qualify for the loan unless I purchase buy down points. $4,000 of them to get me to the original rate. This was not even discussed as an plausible option when we went under contract. I was under the assumption my rate was set from the signing of the contract in Feb. So I paid the $4000, what was I supposed to do? We had come this far and I am now 9 months pregnant and out of options. Also, when I first talked to lender I told him that I had up to $80,000 to put down on our home, assuming that would cover 20% up to $400,000. But I only wanted to put 20% down. He kept telling me yes, yes, yes. Every disclosure that came still said $80,000, not the 20% amount ~67k. Ended up just signing and paying it because he said he couldn't get us approved without it. Just lie after lie after lie to keep us coming along to get as much money out of us as possible. Our closing date, May 28th, was also construction completion date. Our construction manager and rep told us they had never seen this done. On the walk through day there was still a million things to be done, but they did get the majority of them completed by closing date. ... Más

We were lied to. Terms changed day before sign day. had no to The knew we sold our home and that out daughters wedding was in a few days. Our promised was not

Horrible experience by my brand new home with Lennar I do not recommend this builder I have the following issues and have never been resolved: 1. Significant deviation between what was delivered and the model I toured. 2. Unable to get cold water because they failed to dig the water piping. 3. I received old appliances probably because the nicer ones were not available anymore. 4. The kitchen is supposed to have a trash compactor Lennar did not install one nor did they want to install one. 5. Electrical plugs/outlets were different than the ones in the model home. 6. Different doors were installed versus the ones we saw in the model home. ... Más

Customer Service post-sale is terrible.

Dont close until puch list items are complete

Don’t trust what the sales ppl

The only thing good about our experience with Lennar was the sales rep. She was very nice and extremely responsive and helpful. Once we closed on the house, Lennar seemed to not care at all. They got their money and they wiped their hands of us. There have been so many issues already. We've been in the home only 4 months and have had to make a claim with warranty over 10+ times. There seems to have been absolutely no oversight on the build and it shows.

buyers pay close attention to details and don't close until u are truly satisfied . Corners cut in the workmanship. On closing day, 2 hours before our closing, and before we started our final walkthrough they had the audacity to show the home to potential buyers and it was very unprofessional, on closing day the floors were not cleaned and we weren't told not even who the utility company was until after a week we moved in and found out the water company was another utility company than we thought two-weeks after we moved in, we received garage openers a week after we moved in and we should have received them day of closing, ...

The construction manger was/has been great. The title department was the worst!!! I have NEVER had such a horrible experienced. It’s been 4 months since my closing and last month I was looking for final/completed/signed documents in the portal (that you push so much), to find out they were not there. I had to call title to get them. Defeats the purpose of your so called portal. You have been a failure in almost every aspect of the experience. I say almost only because of Shane the construction manager.

Poor customer service and poor craftsmanship.

Sales and closing process was not pleasant

Hard to get responses to issues. Management is a revolving door. This is the 3rd survey I’ve received. Stop sending out surveys and use those resources to improve customer service. Just come talk to me or some of our neighbors. Lennar is Good at marketing, bad at customer service.

The home is really nice I like the fact that it’s included with the appliances customer service horrible if I had to do it again I would never buy a home from Lennar responsiveness really bad there’s still some issues that they haven’t resolved for me I would never Recommend any of my friends and family to buy through Lennar just based on their customer service

Unfortunately my buying experience wasn’t a smooth or pleasant one. The home itself is nice but the workmanship left much to be desired. Sloppy work had to be pointed out versus the workers recognizing their sloppy work and correcting it on the spot. The construction manager was awful. He did not communicate well with myself or the realtor; he failed to keep us in the loop of key milestones. When it came time for addressing issues my home inspector reported, it was always a challenge to get the issue rectified. It was one excuse after another. There was a point where the workers covered up an area that my inspector was going to reinspect once the repairs were done. As a result the area could not be inspected again. That was one instance of shady behavior. The sales people failed to step in at the very beginning when we had concerns. Once the contract was signed there was no reason for them to do anything else. My concern now is lack of street lighting anywhere near my home. It’s pitch black on my street and that is a safety/security concern especially bc I live alone. No one is able to provide answers on if and when a street light will be installed in my area of the neighborhood. I would love for someone to take my concern seriously and provide me with answers. ... Más

Home is wonderful. The logistics of buying were terrible. After we had closed Lennar tried to get us to pay a reinvestment fee of 2500 bucks, claiming they forgot to send it to title for closing. After 4-5 months of disputing they finally waived the charge. This was very frustrating and put quite a bad taste in our mouths. Because of this, we would only recommend buying from Lennar if it was a pre-lived in home. We would not recommend buying new from Lennar.

The finance people don’t answer any calls or emails give me an hour heads up to close. Walk through was horrible. Walls weren’t straight, exterior paint doesn’t match, my washer wasn’t set up correctly and it flooded my laundry room the first time I used it. I have plenty more things that went wrong. Some were corrected but some where not. Lennar’s excuse was they are closing on 200 houses that month. How is that my problem? Every neighbor I talk to has / have complaints. Lennar needs to revisit quality control. Let’s just put it this way, would you like to buy a new car and would you like to have it fixed once a week for something different every time? ... Más

This has been a horrendous experience. From the loan application, closing and move-in phases have been miserable. Disclosures statement from Lennar was wrong day before closing. Closing attorneys called me "petty" when I found differences in their charges. Refused to give me keys despite differences in disclosure statement provided by Lennar and the closing attorney. The house was not finished when we moved in. We are now 6.5 months into the home and we are still having issues that are not resolved (e.g, cracks in stairs, buckled floors, unlevel floors, damaged appliances, damaged window frames, overpaint and trim damage throughout. Lennar keeps escalating but there is no accountability. Would never buy again. ... Más

Lennar financing doesn’t know how to treat its customers. Several of my neighbors had the same experience of the company not paying attention to detail. Several times I had to send multiple copies off financial records, contacts not having updated information, closing work tickets without fixing issues, and having to continually show job validation records to name just a few. They treated me and the other veterans like we were 2nd class citizens. Buyer beware!!!

Poor workmanship and cheap materials. Lack of attention to detail and a lot of corner cutting. We do not recommend using the in-house mortgage company, Lennar Mortgage / Eagle Mortgage. And pay attention during your walk through. Take your time. We have paint splattered on the floors, paint is missing in corners of ceilings, on windowsills, etc. and the paint is so cheap it literally flakes off the ceiling and walls. Nail pops are everywhere, cupboard doors don’t close properly, electrical outlets are not secured. Light fixtures are not properly secured. Doors are sticking. Be prepared fir an enormous amount of debris to make its way to the surface in your yard. We’re talking nails, broken pottery, tools, etc. - you name it. Yards are not graded and leveled. We have also found where the tub and surround have scratches and were painted over. The stove has scratches and slight dents that we didn’t notice at first. Paint and caulk were splattered on towel bars, countertops and the sides of toilets. We’re kicking ourselves for not noticing more. ... Más

Lennar builds a structurally sound home. The quality of workmanship and materials for what you pay is TERRIBLE. They build the home and you will spend months getting warranty work done. They have been great to repair what we find. The problem is you have to find it to get it fixed. The rates with their mortgage company and fee are more expensive than outside. The solar through them is a lot more costly than if you went outside of Lennar. Most builders will have certain companies as preferred lenders, solar, etc but Lennar uses its own subsidiaries and YOU PAY THE PRICE!

50+ items, including major items, wrong with the home. Issues continue. The construction manager shows no compassion and attempts to fix through hacks. I would not buy with Lennar again.

Poor and lack of communication about the loan process from the loan processor and lack of follow up on the work orders.
