My loan officer was great. Everything else about my experience with Lennar was abysmal. They lied/withheld information until long after they had my earnest money. They waited until after I paid $600 for a third party inspection to say that on top of the down payment, they wanted 2 months worth of mortgage in my bank account, which somehow totaled $17,000 dollars? The mortgage was going to be less than $2,000, so I have no idea where the $17,000 figure came from. I was told when I applied that all they would need is 30 days of paystubs from my new job after I moved. Then, after I sent weeks gathering all the random paperwork they wanted and stressing over that, less than two weeks from our closing date, they hit me with the "yeah, you need $17,000 in your account on top of the $10,000 you need for the down payment." I am not rich, my family is not rich. I have a good paying job, but it would take at least 4 months of paychecks to total $17,000 IF I didn't have bills like rent of my current residence, car payment, health insurance, etc. How was I supposed to come up with $17,000 in less than two weeks? Who can? And this was the second home I was under contract with them for. They did paperwork and math incorrectly for the first, and recanted on the approval they had already given me. On top of that, the brand new home I was purchasing had five pages of things that failed the inspection and would have to be fixed prior to sale. So, not only was my experience with every aside from my loan officer abysmal, the house was not even going to be able to be approved for a loan as is. I have absolutely nothing good to say about Lennar. I would leave 0 stars if I could. The only positive I had was my loan officer, who is fighting the team to get my earnest money I paid them already back because they were purposefully misleading. Do not work with them. Do not trust them. They are incredibly misleading and provide all sorts of false information. They cannot be trusted. Do not allow them to run your credit or take your money. They are not worth the risk. If you have literally any other options than Lennar, take them instead. This company has been nothing but frustrating from the start, and their brand new homes aren't even sound. Save yourself the time, trouble, and frustration and find someone else. Their "good rates" and "bonuses" are not worth it, nor are they true. You are better off avoiding them entirely.

Recommendation: Do not work with them if you can help it. Your time, frustration, and stress will not be worth it.

Absolute disaster — they lured you in with smoke, mirrors, and a good loan officer while the rest of their operation pulled a bait-and-switch with made-up financial hoops. Good on you for not backing down and calling out the BS. Keep pressing for that earnest money — if they misrepresented terms, that’s grounds to escalate legally. They fumbled twice — don’t let ‘em fumble your money a third time.
