Terrible experience with lennar home and Lennar Mortgage in Oregon and Washington area, first they can’t provide firm closing date which leads to the mortgage rates rose from 5.375% to 6.125%, since lennar preferred lender can’t provide reasonable rate, we switched to US bank loan, unfortunately it fell through. Lennar Mortgage sent my conditional approval letter to lennar home in 8 days after I locked the rates with them, but two days after we unlocked with US bank which made our earnest money non refundable, to me, this is a trap, I want to back out of the deal since my US bank loan application fell through, lennar region manager told us earnest money refund is not an option, we negotiated to have price reduction since the rate rise due to lennar home can’t provide us a firm closing date, the answer from them is no and sent us a termination letter which shows earnest money all goes to seller, it’s really unfair even with our loan application fell through, and region manager does not care if they lose our business, I was just wondering which is more important to lennar, lose one customer or take my working hard money then make me to against and avoid Lennar for ever?

Horrible quality. Dishonest people. We were told our home would come with radiant barrier, we even signed the features form to have it. They didn't install it. They said it was because "product want available" Everyone needs to stay as far away from Lennar as possible.

I find a good lowers than I told you problam

Not even 1 month into owning the home, there has been nothing but issues. Between the A/C breaking, missing sensors, broken outlets, marks on the wall, poorly done landscaping..etc. huge mistake. We call almost everyday for fixes and it shouldn't be that way. Not mention, expect to be on the phone for 2 hours every time for anything. Truly low quality service at an insane high rate. Huge, mistake.

We just recently closed on a Lennar home at the end of May in a Jacksonville community. This is our first home and we were hoping for a really pleasant process but the experience has been a very trying one. For the issues with home, when we completed the initial walk-through a few weeks before closing, there were a lot of quality related issues noted in the home, that should not have needed to be identified by the perspective homeowner. It was clear that there had been no quality assurance review done by anyone with Lennar on our home, despite the construction manager saying there was. There were drywall issues where you can see the drywall seams, there were chips and gaps in the trims on many of the doors. The water wasn’t working since there were issues getting the city to turn on the water, so we weren’t able to test the plumbing or water related things during our walk-through. There was a cracked window near our front door. The white grout in our tile had been stained a dirty color. Of note, the grout was supposed to be warm gray, but they used alabaster (white) instead. It was difficult to even check the tile/grout for the walk through since it was so dirty. There was a cracked cabinet in our guest bathroom. In our master tub there was a bubble or issue with the fiberglass in the bathtub. They had forgotten/overlooked to install the porch light in on our front porch. There were areas in both bathrooms that were not sealed/caulked. There was a scratch on the microwave door. There were cracked pavers on the lanai. The whole house was marked from ceiling to floor. Two weeks later right before closing we went to do our final walk through we were disappointed. They had repaired some of the issues…replaced the microwave door, replaced the cracked cabinet in the guest bath, touch up painting, replaced cracked pavers. They put in a new tub in the master bath but had not finished the drywall, tile, caulking around the tub. They fixed some of the drywall issues but for the others they just left them the way they were. We were told that the floors had been cleaned but they were still stained and appeared dirty. They did get a specialist out to work on the grout but it would be in 2 weeks after closing. The water was on during this walk-through and there was a leak under the kitchen sink and the washer wasn’t working. The construction manager was present at this walk-through (not at the first) but was rushed and basically said that any of the still existing issues, and new ones we found, we should follow up on after closing. Since closing a month ago we have had workers in our home frequently. Everyday we seem to notice something that was either done wrong or sloppy in the home. The first week they needed to cut open our living room wall to fix plumbing issues. The plumbing issues have been continuing, with the water pressure in our home being sub-par. Both plumbers that have come out have said that the issue is that there is sand and dirt and all of our lines/faucets and that lines probably weren’t flushed before they started the water. We have had to follow behind the workers each time to try to make sure they fix the issue based on how we were told it would be fixed. We had chipped tiles in the home, and holes in the grout. We still have dead sod/grass in our front yard. Our dryer isn’t working properly and we have a technician coming to look at that. The icemaker in our freezer is on recall, which we were notified of when we went to register the warranty. We were advised not to use the ice at all due to plastic pieces potentially being in the ice. We still haven’t received the replacement icemaker and are being told that we have to work directly with the appliance company to get this fixed. Our AC is running constantly, even though the house is supposed to be energy efficient per Lennar‘s marketing, and we had the AC technician come out who determined that the AC was fine but that the house in the attic didn’t have enough insulation. We’ve been waiting a week and a half for the insulation company to call us to come out and put in more insulation. We’ve talked to our neighbors and they all have experienced similar issues and have been really disappointed.

There is zero craftsmanship. No sense of pride in their work product. Construction Managers are poor at what they do. Have spent our 1st year in our home with constant warranty visits. From poor quality workmanship to inferior materials used. With new home prices well above several years ago, Lennar can not compete in quality homes above 200k. Their trades are not skilled and do just enough to get by. Dont expect anything fixed after your walk thru, and God forbid you point out errors during the building process. Dont expect the same quality as the model you are shown. You can literally walk the same floor plan being constructed at the same time and nothing is the consistent. Even though we walked in with a considerable amount of equity, the headache is not worth it. What they do should be against the law.

Lennar is a company that makes cheap houses with the cheapest possible raw materials and the worst possible cheap contractors. But they price their houses high. Their is nothing i can say positive about my experience with them. I regret buying a house from lennar. Please stay away from lennar unless you have a lot of money to waste. Even then i suggest you burn it rather than paying these thieves.

The number of outstanding issues on our home is ridiculous. We can't get anyone to respond, they say they will be here on a day then don't show up and don't respond. My electric bill was almost $400 trying to cool our master bedroom because it wasn't properly insulated and the vents barely send out any air. The steps to the garage are to short and guests continually trip down them. Electrical outlets don't function. The yard is so uneven you can barely walk through it without stepping in a hole. Trim, finishing work, and tile work were all poorly done. In a $700K home I would expect these items to be addressed in a reasonable amount of time. Five months in and the response has been terrible. Our past homes were Beazer and DR Horton and they were 1/2 and 1/6 of the cost and held up better from day one!
