I strongly advise against purchasing a home from Lennar. The quality of construction, materials, planning, and design in their spec homes is consistently substandard, and the company demonstrates a complete lack of accountability for its workmanship. Prior to accepting any new construction home from Lennar, I highly recommend conducting a thorough personal inspection and hiring an independent professional inspector. Additionally, request a utility locator to verify the location of underground electrical lines—do not rely solely on their survey. My experience with Lennar has been deeply frustrating. From the moment I took possession of the home, numerous defects were evident: wall corners that were closer to 60 degrees than the required 90-degree right angles, multiple electrical issues, extensive drywall problems, and widespread use of cheap materials paired with shoddy workmanship. One of the most egregious issues occurred in my backyard. I had planned and scheduled the installation of a swimming pool, only to discover live electrical lines running directly through the middle of the yard once excavation began. After weeks of delays and excuses, Lennar eventually promised to resolve the issue. However, nearly a year of persistent follow-up—hundreds of emails and phone calls later of wasted time on my part—resulted in no action from the builder. My unusable backyard sat idle the entire time. In the end, it was my pool company that had to resolve the issue, causing the entire project to be completed over a full year behind schedule. Compounding the frustration, when I later removed the sod to install turf, a large mound of dirt along the side of the house was cleared, exposing a severely damaged and chipped foundation slab. The stucco on the exterior wall also stopped abnormally high, leaving the foundation inadequately covered. When I raised this concern with Lennar, their response was dismissive. They claimed the finished floor elevation was acceptable, grades were proper, and there was positive drainage—despite clear visual evidence to the contrary. Before-and-after photos show the grade rising sharply from back to front (the opposite of what it is supposed to be), indicating the dirt mound had been deliberately used to conceal the defective slab and stucco work. Lennar has refused to accept any responsibility, insisting the damage was not present at closing and must have been caused by me or my contractor. This claim is particularly absurd given that I possess construction-phase photos clearly showing the damaged slab before it was covered. Unfortunately, nearly every home in this development exhibits similar slab and stucco deficiencies near the base, though mine was among the most severe. It is unacceptable that a major national builder would deliver such poor-quality homes and then actively deny documented issues rather than stand behind their product. Homebuyers deserve far better. Buyer beware!

We are still in the process of closing on our home. We are scheduled for a final walkthrough on Monday, but we are still awaiting an update from the title company regarding the status of the transaction. It is frustrating to encounter such inconsiderate and non-communicative behavior. I am considering withdrawing from this deal due to the significant investment we have made, but our team’s quality control is commendable. Our team members are excellent, very understanding, and highly communicative. Communication is the most crucial aspect of work.

From start to finish my experience was a complete nightmare. I am still getting emails and texts from them after I canceled on the home. The house was poorly built and their business practices were sketchy. They kept upselling their houses and ultimately told me I did not qualify after weeks of paperwork. They could have been upfront from the beggining. Luckily I received by earnest money but the harrasment continues. They need to be investigated.

Went to look at new builds, was "pre-approved" for $350k home, found one we loved. Once we applied for financing through them, it was declined for that amount. They initially had told us they'd pay 10k at closing when we were going to finance through them. Once we secured financing through a different lender, they said they would no longer pay 10k to close, leaving all costs to close to us with our own financing vs theirs, making the home we loved impossible for us to close on due to down payment and all closing costs(seller and buyer) being paid by us. They offered to sell us a home right across the street from the one we liked that was 1 br smaller, that we weren't overly fond of. We had to repeatedly request a refund of our earnest money from them. With them dragging their feet. I sent the email and the Lennar agent reached out to my husband to confirm, even though my husband was cc'd on the email. It still took over a week for them to accept that we were not going to buy one of their homes and to issue a refund after we repeatedly told them we wanted it refunded. I would not recommend these sellers to anyone looking for a home unless you want to pay double what it costs to build with people who do everything to screw you over.

The salesperson lied to us within a matter of days we asked for our 5 thousand dollars back they refused. Thier lawyer said it was our fault we didn’t confirm what they said was true. They offered us our money on another property but if they lied once why would I trust them with another 400 thousand dollars . Lies don’t believe what the say get it in writing even then I think you will lose

Extremely tardy in giving a response, if at all that happens. Agents over phone has no clue if you ask questions about a quote they themselves provide. Email communication is lame that they don't even read your questions correctly.

never buy house from a corporation builder......cheap materials and labor......buy a 60 yr old home and renovate

I wish there were negative stars! They have the worst team of loan officers. By names, Cesar, Christian .... etc. They told me I would qualify for a max of $195,000 when I had debts and my credit score was lower. I paid off everything and now they say only a max of $180,000. Their Loan officers are a joke. The community rep tried to link that to the "community taxes" which I calculated to have added $14 to the monthly payment only!!! Steer away!
