| - If you buy a home from them, USE A REALTOR!!!! I didn't. Their main goal seems to be selling the loan, not the home. Found a better rate on a loan after much go round with their lender, who I semi-committed to. Then the financial blackmail starts and you must drink your poison-- you can use their lender with a higher rate or use yours and give back the incentives-- even though they tell you that you get the incentives if you find a lower rate.
Also, I understand construction is not an exact science but you will be told the home will be done within a few days of their target date, no matter how many times you ask, follow the progress and see with your layman's eye that it won't happen. When, of course, it doesn't and you question completion, the response is "good news!" the problem you were not informed of has been rectified! Wow, isn't that lucky!!!! You can't schedule movers, line up utilities, know where you will be living and when, or plan your life. Other than being added to their mass e-mail list, there has been no contact, communication, or updates other than than what I have pursued. A friend of mine bought a new construction home from Pardee and received updates every couple weeks. Since I signed that contract and wrote that check, it has been crickets. I am living out of boxes and have had to extend stay at apartment. If this information was communicated, it would be fine but the problems seem to be compounding and If their homes are anything like their customer service, I question whether I should go through with this huge purchase and financial commitment. Also, after the way I have been treated, I really don't want certain employees there to profit off my money. So far, it is not boding well.
Having said all that, the homes are beautiful as is the clubhouse. The residents I have run into seem nice. The neighborhood is lovely.
My complaint is my treatment by Lennar, not sure if I got a bad salesperson or this is business as usual.
