Lennar Homes

Be very careful when purchasing a home from Lennar. The sales people will say anything to get you to sign. Read the fine print and ensure any promises/commitments are in writing. Also they will push their lending company on you. You can do better elsewhere. Look around. If you decide to buy. Don't rush to complete the satisfaction survey. They are real nice before and then once they get the survey in service goes down. I would never buy another Lennar home. Quality is subpar. Organization is even worst. You have been warned. Check BBB.

DO NOT TAKE Your clients to Lennar, they do not pay realtor fees. Lennar has been reducing realtor commissions since January and increasing their house prices weekly! Lennar also send you false advertisement emails saying they will pay a Bonus to realtors and then they just simply tell you that it's only on selective properties or models, which of course it's a makeup list by Lennar. Lennar also charges a point higher on interest rates than what the current market is at. Of course you are not made aware of this until After you switch to finance with Lennar's lender. When you question the rate they offer you to buy the rate down, that's right, you have to pay for what the actual current rate are. This is a rip off all the way around.

We closed on our home back in February of 2021. The promise of "all included" and "quality" is not worth the issues or it's weight in gold. We've had to create a spreadsheet of all the issues we've been having with the workmanship. From poorly installed bathroom flooring, siding issues, a fully cracking main floor ceiling, cut flooring, painting all over our siding, garage door issues, large dip in our front yard from the grading, dead tree... The list goes on and on. Lennar's response goes from mildly responsive to nonexistent. We've also talked to neighbors who've had similar experiences. It's unfortunate that being sold on quality meant cut corners and rushing a job to what end? Our advice look at a different builder and check more reviews from that builder in different communities around where you're interested in building.

Lennar is a purely profitable trading company that does not care about the interests of the residents. They care about their profits first and foremost. The construction does not rise to a good level, but below what is acceptable. The materials used are very cheap and of poor quality. There are no public services available in the complex. There is not enough parking. Management of the complex to deal with good behavior and morals with the residents. There are no services provided for association fees.

I am a realtor, when I registered my clients I was told the compensation would be 2%. I have spent many months showing them homes. When a home came available we accepted. Fast forward after three weeks I get my commission paperwork and it's only a flat fee. I was told they just changed the commission structure, and there is nothing they can do. I'm being paid 1/3 the amount I would have been paid if we have bought a regular home. I have a family to support. I find solace in the fact that I talked my clients out of thousands in unnecessary upgrades that would have benefited the builder. Short-changing realtors will come back to hurt you Lennar Homes. When the market shifts and you're begging us, once again, to bring our buyers? I'll be sharing this site with all your horrible reviews and I'll never recommend you again.

We have lived here 9 months.

Lennar’s lender could not work with us. We found a different lender that could work with us and close on time. Lennar cancelled our purchase agreement because we changed lenders. They also kept our $2000 earnest money. They demanded we use their lender and their contact to sell our current home. 5 different closing dates. We lost $5000 on a higher offer selling a rental property because of Lennar’s first closing date that they refused to budge on. Lennar finally agreed to refund the earnest money if we signed an agreement stating we asked for the cancellation. WE DID NOT ASK FOR THE CANCELLATION!!

I bought a house a year ago and everything has fallen apart. Did our 11 month inspection. We have a leaky window, gutters falling off, nail sticking up on roof, windows and doors not sealed correctly. Paint spills everywhere, terrible caulking, fireplace cracked. The fence in the backyard is terrible and wasn’t measured so my dogs all can leave. C'mon.

I went today to get some information on buying a Lennar home today. When we got to the model home we were asked what kind of dog we had, because the HOA in the community that they’re selling homes in do not let Pitbulls in the community. I said, "You got to be kidding me right?" This needs to go public! Lennar homes, who do you think you are!!! A breed is not dangerous, owners that raise a dog in-properly and train the dog to be vicious are the problem! Do your homework, you could’ve sold a $400,000 house today! And I don’t want to hear how that is the HOA and the board it starts with Lennar setting up the HOA!

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.

We purchased our home in 2007 with this horrible builder, with the promise from them they would finish the community & club house that same year, 14 years later we finally are so happy they are leaving the community & we can fire Campbell Property Management. Another horrible PM company. Besides the work on the houses is cheap labor, illegal & the materials are also cheap & garbage. Don’t ever buy from them!!!, they are scammers, they pay for so much marketing that is full of **.

I found out several issues during checkin. Due to the pandemic I had a tight timeline to move in. When at the walk through, issues are noticed, and Lennar's agent promised me they will fix it before I move in. The issues are not things hard to fix. They cut wrong wholes and messed up my kitchen cabinet board and left a scratch on one of my bedroom doors. After I moved in, I found issues are still there. I contact their services countless times, and they scheduled appointments, people comes in and go, carpenter saying they need plumber and plumber say they need carpenter. They even brought a door with wrong size to my home for my bedroom door. After moved in for almost a year, my issues are still not fixed.

We moved in to a brand new home last February 25, 2021. Only to find out that the aircon is not working. No cold air coming out. A brand new home should have a working unit. Not sending a contracted repair company to fix it. Our house we purchased was not properly inspected. A leak was also found on the air duct. The contracted company who came to inspect the aircon unit even recommended that our unit should be changed since we purchase a brand new house. But Lennar won’t allow it. Their customer satisfaction is ZERO! The free fridge, washing machine and dryer that were in our purchase agreement were cancelled. I am a very disappointed, unhappy and frustrated customer. I emailed the CEO of lennar homes but unfortunately no answer.

Bought a brand new home, but have had more issues than those I know with older homes built by other builders. All of my warranties expired after a year, now I am stuck paying for repairs after the builder used cheap, or ineffective products. The wiring in the home is terrible, and always causing outages. Whenever I have placed emergency help request with Lennar they do not respond, no one ever comes out, and the reps answering the phones are always rude. Lennar is a scam all the way around, from the builders, real estate agents, and down to the pest control. Now I have to decide whether to sell my first home, or continue paying for repairs.

I have lived at the Bridgewater HOA in Princeton Texas for the past 8 months and I have been very unhappy since I moved in. This is not my first house, so I decided to provide a true assessment of my experience with LENNAR. OUR PROPERTY LOCATION: We have a Princeton address but Bridgewater is being built in the town of Culleoka (we were not informed during the purchase) which is a non-incorporated area. Culleoka does not have a Government entity or even public services and Princeton will not respond.

My husband made an appointment with Lisa at Lennar Homes two weeks ago to walk through three model homes. We drove three hours on Mother’s Day weekend for a 330 appointment. Approximately 30 minutes before our scheduled time we received a call from Courtney telling me she couldn’t make it however would unlock the model homes for us electronically. We were able to view two of the three homes. She was unable to grant us access to one due to system failure.

I got prior approval for a mortgage with Lennar FL Tampa, the first home finder was fired after I had just met with her 2 days prior, they assign Joseph ** to me and he calls me to go over what I am looking for, then a couple hours later he tells me for a new home I need to come up with 70k and then text me he can’t help me but to call him when I have more money, after we were shown a model that was supposedly in our price range by the former home finder from Lennar - here is the text, "Unfortunately I was not aware of what you were told and I can only relay the info I currently have. Right now since we would only qualify for a home and do not yet have enough funds for closing, I would not be of much help to you. Please let me know when you have enough funds to close on a home and I would be happy to update you with inventory at that time."

We just found out that all warranties aren’t acceptable even though we purchased a brand new home that was built built by a “flipper” who never lived here. Our pool heater hasn’t worked since we moved in and our hot water heater didn’t work for several weeks because they installed it incorrectly. Do not buy a Lennar home. We are home builders in a different state and would never treat our customers this way.

When we arrived at closing, Lennar delivered our home with all the wrong finishings, wrong floor, wrong tile. The sales associates lie. They tell you you whatever you want to hear to make the sale. After we moved in - Lennar managed the HOA since the community was still being developed. There is no transparency or communication as to budgets and where our money is going. The assigned HOA President who works for Lennar, Zenzi ** refuses to return emails or phone calls from residents. Very shady company. Poorly built units. Does not stand behind their warranty. RUN!

I am very disappointed in my home purchase through Lennar Homes in the Bryton Trace subdivision. Things started off very rough as we found out a couple of months after signing our agreement and providing earnest money that there was a delay in the development of the land. We went into contract July 2019 and closed June 2020. Throughout the build process we started noticing several things that were off in terms quality and workmanship. As we moved closer to closing a big issue was the numerous Imperfections in our ceilings. It literally looked like someone spread concrete on them and painted them. Our construction manager suggested they float the seams and try making the appearance better. This turned out to be a botched job!!

I purchased a new home from Lennar in Brighton Colorado, in August of 2020. Clanton Heating and Air is the installing contractor. My problems started with the a/c system wasn't keeping my home cool. My master bedroom is 10-12 degrees warmer than the rest of the home. The communication between the warranty department and their contractors is laughable. I NEVER get a timely response, if I get one at all. I end up calling, texting, or emailing all parties, as if I'm the person in charge. Not only do I not get paid to organize and schedule these appointments, I have missed A LOT of work because of it.
