We drove through an lennar in the new camey tx area. One BRAND NEW home owner bought a led scrolling board that said "beware, do not buy lennar, you will regret it." Crazy

It doesn't matter what brand of house you buy but it does matter what subcontractors they use they're the ones that are actually building the house for instance Lennar in one area might be using really good subcontractors but in another area maybe in another state they're not so good depends on the Workforce available

i just entered into contract for a new build in Hemet, Ca. I do have a realtor, so far so good. 5.59 interest rate, I got $2500 Heros incentive because we are veterans, they threw in the W/D and the fridge. they also gave us another 2.2% off the purchase price. I will hire a 3rd party inspector though. I learned a lot from my daughter and husband when they purchased their Richmond home in 2021.

Lennar absolutely doesn't want the buyer to have representation. My buyers agent & I made an offer on a home in the Nashville area 12/10/23. They countered, I accepted- after and only after I accepted they changed the terms. They insisted I sign the contract that day , on a Sunday , without legal review and would not budge on that. I would never sign any contract before a lawyer evaluated it. I really liked the house , but back to the drawing board. I wouldn't trust Lennar after that. Earlier in the process the location realtor's boss called me directly . I can only assume they were trying to cut my buyers agent out of the contract altogether.

I am in the process of buying a home with Lennar in Central Florida. The buyer experience is been very bad. Bad communication, the lie to us, do not want to fix important items before the closing. We fill very stressful and disappointed. They just treat me that if I do not sign, they will declare us in default and will keep my deposit. The worse development!!! Stay Away.

They kept my deposit of $6k even after pushing out my date so many times and I no longer qualified. Also my home sat in chicken wire for months while the rest of the neighborhood progressed. I’m pretty sure I became less of a priority when I switched mortgage companies because their rates were high. Buyer beware.

If you're thinking about getting a loan from their own mortgage people, be careful. It's easy, but it might not be the very best choice. It's really important to check with different lenders to find the very best deal for you. Anyway, nice video!!

I guess I got lucky. I am a realtor and bought with Lennar. they offered me 6 percent realtor commission on one of the four homes left in a phase and 15,000 toward closing. Sure it was end of fiscal year and it was not the perfect sunset location but it worked for me! Great community in Florida. I think they were awesome to me and trust me i read all the horror stories. My broker said she had never seen anything like it. it was my lottery. does it matter who is building? don't know if we can or should trust any builders these days. I'll keep you posted!

I'm purchasing a Lennar home (Allegro floor plan) right now in Fate, TX. I'm buying it as my primary residence to get out of my apartment. However, I'm buying it as an investment property for the future. I went with Lennar because they are buying down the interest rate. I also got my new build home inspection complete and the report had a few minor things that need to be taken care before closing. Thank you for your video. So far so good with Lennar.

Awesome hope it works out well. Yes please make sure to have a third party inspect the home before closing .

Just make sure your credits from them are right. You will see a list of fees for the lending and document fees. Make sure whatever they told you that you were getting in terms of finance money is applied and that you can see how that money was spent. Also make sure you look at the Pre-paids section. This is what is funding your escrow account for like taxes, and insurance so make sure all of that is correct. Good luck and enjoy your new home!

What people fail to realize is that the increase in property taxes and investors buying single family homes is NOT an accident! Property taxes are a huge part of state revenues and families have limits to how much property taxes they can afford and if foreclosed on then the state looses revenue. Large scale investors, in theory, can pay higher property taxes and can weather the economic storms better than families so less risk of foreclosures. The increase in property taxes is the government trying to force existing homeowners to sell their home to an investment firm.

Hi Zak, I recently started watching your content, and coincidentally, are building a home in one of the communities you’ve featured. While I’ve found your videos to be insightful, I thought the “smoking” comment was a bit distasteful. I understand this is not a formal platform, however, that may be something that could be either left unsaid or behind closed doors with an interested party. This is coming from someone who has never owned a Lennar home, nor have any intentions of purchasing one. Just some constructive criticism. Best wishes.
