Lennar Homes

Since I purchased a unit that was previously used a model home and being a real estate attorney, I made sure to confirm prior to closing that I would still be provided the builder 1 year limited warranty even on a model home unit. The on-site agent confirmed and there was nothing in my contract stating otherwise. Shortly after I closed, everything shut down due to COVID including Lennar’s vendor that would have provided equipment and set up the wifi and other automated systems which came with the house. I was even willing to do the set up but the Lennar warranty rep was never able to send the equipment and in the end, I bought them on Amazon and self-installed.

We loved the location, so we decided to buy. The agent Jonathon ** was very shady. He told us the lot we wanted has already been reserved, he will send us the site map which shows ones are still AVAILABLE. We reserved the lot and looking forward for the updates and closing. 3 months later, we received his update that there are THREE OTHER PEOPLE ALSO RESERVED OUR LOT, now we will have to send in the highest and best offer to complete with THREE OTHER BUYERS, on top of that, the lot/home we chose has went from $509,000 to $685,000.

Zero stars!!! These low-down good-for-nothing bad actors need to be avoided like the plague. I put good money down for a house in construction...I am a millionaire...But I guess they thought they could sell the house for more money than they were contractually required to sell it to me for and so I just got a call -- weeks into the process, after selling my last house and moving into a temporary rental prior to moving (I thought) into the Lennar home -- that their Lennar mortgage company -- which they illegally force upon buyers -- was illegally and wrongfully turning me down for a mortgage in spite of the fact that I have more money than 90-98% of the customers who walk through their door and I proved it.

Recently I wanted to buy a house with this company and Juan Carlos ** in the Davenport/Haines City, Florida area helped us from the beginning. He explained the contract, the most important parts he said, but he forgot to mentioned a BUILDER'S FEE of 1% from the total of the house price - a very important detail when it is more than $3,000.00!!!! When asked about it he said that because I am a Veteran buying I don’t have to pay for it but the contract was already signed. He refused to provide an addendum or a solution that all parts could sign explaining that I did not have to pay the builder's fee. He took too long so I took the decision of not to proceed with the purchase. So now they don’t want to return the $1,000 deposit when it was his/Lennar fault! So basically they are stealing $1,000. So be very careful with them!!!!

I purchased my home November 2018. Since I purchase I’ve had problems after problems. Lennar will not take accountability for any fraction that’s found in the home. I’ve placed a ticket multiple times since I purchased the home. My insulation was missing, bubbles in the floor, drainage in my back yard (I called different two companies out and they both said when it rains my yard holds water. It don’t drain, Lennar said it does and guess what I have a puddle of water just sitting for three days). Speaking on landscaping; I have three trees in my yard that never produced any leaves. Now I’m being fined by the HOA to replace the trees.

Consumer be wary - I purchased my home back in January 2021 and the finished home was completed in late May 2021. Sale and purchase was smooth, although Lennar's Design Center tries to overcharge you (that is a given in this industry). The most alarming part that you as a new buyer should be aware is the "quality" of the included appliances that is heavily marketed by Lennar. They coin themselves as giving you a "smart" home with over $30k value in appliances and smart home technology. While that may be partially true, let me remind you that these many of these appliances are the base of the base.

Buyer beware! I bought a Lennar townhome in Morrisville, NC in 2020. It was just over two years old when I bought it. Recently I discovered a plumbing leak. The leak was confirmed by the Durham County Water Department. My townhouse is on a concrete slab foundation, so the plumbing pipes that go into my home are in the ground under a layer of concrete, rock and dirt. I contacted Lennar about the problem and learned that they only provide a 2-year warranty on plumbing. Two years! What does that say about the expectations on the quality of the work? The warranty had expired just a few months before I discovered the leak, so Lennar said it was not responsible for the repair.

HORRIBLE CHEAP BUILDING, Lennar used cheapest material, our Heating system is horrible. They used the wrong size ductwork so some rooms don’t heat, the faceplate on the wall for the Thermostat DOESN'T match the system. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BUILDER, it should be a crime to lie to the Consumer, everything the salesperson told us was untrue as far as material used! We will sell at some point and we had to pay and fix all the cheap paint, tile, ductwork, skylights are faulty, nail pops everywhere, paint chipping, HORRIBLE. DON'T BUY A LENNAR HOME!!! Buyer Beware.

We contracted to purchase a new home in Bridgewater, Princeton TX. We chose to use their mortgage company, what a joke. They kept losing our documents and asked for more and more and more which we complied with. We could never get a straight answer to any of our questions but we needed a place to live so we went ahead with the purchase. We had our own inspection done and many things were pointed out as shoddy workmanship. Again we really needed a place to live at this time, and we figured Lennar would do the right thing and fix the most obvious things. One week before closing we got a call telling us they decided not to give us the loan (which we had qualified for and had a firm closing date). We found out later that when they put it back in their inventory they jacked up the price and got more money for it. Stay far away from Lennar! Since our bad experience we have heard so many more horror stories about dealing with them.

Everything looks good at the beginning but you will have problems you deal with galore. Like all other comments it’s true things that break they tell you that it’s fine and it’s a hassle to get things actually fixed. This has been a horrible experience. I’m tired of talking with customer care about problems and fixes. The homes are just made poorly.
