WCI Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Through, responsive, informative, timely - ease

We bought a home a few months back and love it. Had a few little items to fix and the warranty issues got solved asap. I sell homes for a living so I see a lot and WCI builds some good strong homes. Couldn't be happier with the process so far.

This home is the third new home we've built/purchased. The quality of the house and responsiveness to minor issues by WCI has been so impressive! Would highly recommend this community to anyone!!

We feel that the home buying process was super easy with Lennar. I closed in a month! I raised a question about No CDD fees advertised however, I was instructed later that it would not be charged this year but next year. However, they took out CDDs from settlement funds for 2018 and I haven't seen a refund. Sanctuary Cove is a great, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors.

We are very pleased with our new WCI home and the aftercare they provide is wonderful.

It's great that the new home is a smart home and the community has nice amenities.

Sales Consultant very professional and made our buying experience a pleasure and hassle-free. The "everything included" feature is a bonus and we are very satisfied. There is a nice variety of models from which to choose your dream home.

I am generally more than satisfied with my condo and the amenities provided. The Builder is responsive when it comes to warranty work although you may need more than ordinary construction knowledge to get certain repairs completed properly. If I had one beef it is the Contracts, at least in Florida, are written entirely in favor of the Builder with the consumer having little right. The closing date set by the Builder will be adhered to even if your home is not fully completed and you do not have enough time to walk through and get repairs done before hand. Lennar will address your complaints, even after the closing, but when there are a number of major items that have to be fixed the buyer should have the right to delay the closing. Its amazing that we have some many rights when it comes to any other types of purchases or contracts that the Builders have been able to write their own contracts. This is not just Lennar issue but all major Builders. The contracts are for their benefit not the consumers. Blame your politicians. I am not trying to be ambiguous but I love my condo and all parts and would not hesitate to purchase a Lennar home in the future. Note all the contractors/supervisors on the job and that were sent to due warranty work were very professional, clean, neat, polite! ... More

I feel we have received good value for our purchase. Closing delays and bumps prevent a top rating

Generally we are very pleased. Items from the walk thru still remain 5 months later. Closing was a disaster as far as being able to lock down a date, over 1 week late. Parking situation not as described prior to purchase. It just seems to take forever to get anything done.

I've had several issues with my new home, I guess that's expected with any new home. Joe, the customer relations employee has been wonderful with expediting repairs.

Very good materials and appliances/equipment quality, sub-standard workmanship with obvious issues that should have been identified by the builder during construction; most issues were addressed, few still open after 5 months. Also, upon closing/delivery, house was NOT clean and move in ready.

Love the home location, neighborhood, and design. Quality of materials and workmanship lower than expected for home on this price range. Good responsiveness on issues

Overall good, but not great. WCI needs to work more on warranty issues. Not deny based on what I missed on walkthrough, or this issue is cosmetic. If things installed crooked, and wrong thi sis not a cosmetic issue.

All warranty issue we had were addressed fast except cabinets ( kitchen and bathroom) . Is been taking forever! But the worst is, we are not requesting them to “fix” we are requesting to complete their job.

Read your contracts carefully.

Workers do not respect the homeowner or their other trades people. I had mirrors installed over exposed holes in the wall and a broken window from next door build.

Lennar builders were not responsive to us, prior to closing, and then pushed our closing when the house wasn't completed. We love our house, just not their business practices.

Took 15 months instead of 9 on a cash close due to multiple failed inspections and they skipped our lot and worked on others who paid after us. Poor workmanship and now we are dealing with multiple electrical, hvac and cosmetic issues that are being resolved but at a huge inconvenience now that we have moved in. Customer service is good to address those issues after the fact. All of them could have been prevented if done properly during construction.

Contractors that WCI uses are not concerned with quality. The contractors want to do a fast job and collect their money.

The home design and concepts are awesome, but the subcontractors performance is not supervised properly, thus the workmanship and end product turns out to be average at best. Issues are not addressed during production in a timely manner and resolution of problems becomes more complex than needed.

We dealt only with Lennar and were not very happy. While the overall house is solid (we hope), much of the workmanship was below standard. Very few options were given as to the quality of the products being used. The process Lennar uses seems to be a rush job, to get as many houses up in the shortest amount of time, while paying no attention to the details. The sales representative that we worked with was not honest and did not keep us informed through the whole process. Since we have moved in the customer care rep has been very attentive.

With new construction there are always going to be "issues" and that is why builders offer a warranty. No one expects to have roof leaks or water just coming through the windows but it happened. The response to these issues were good. When it comes to the finishing work it has unfortunately been poor; literally received a quote from a VP (who refuses to get on the phone) say that is "cosmetic". Yes, when your trades beat everything up that is on you and when you purchase a new home and spend $500k the customer expects things to look good and not be beaten. Builders need to be accountable for their trades for the final product and quit just expecting customers to just accept it. Really disappointed and I have photo and video to prove it. ... More

After months of delays, enduring my 1st hurricane (Ian), we finally arrive at closing day! I traveled 3 hours in 2 separate cars with 2 dogs in tow. I arrive at my new home after living in Airbnbs for months. I’m ecstatic and ready to be home!! Upon arrival I see that not much progress had been made since my initial walkthrough. The LENNAR representative then informed me that corporate will not allow him to close on any house that has a punch list!! My initial walkthrough produced about 90 items on my lunch list. LENNAR rep and LENNAR building supervisor promise me that they will take care of the issues offline. To close, I was asked to sign-off on all of the punch list items. I was so worn down, tired of moving Airbnb to Airbnb, (not to mention that I didn’t have anywhere to stay that evening + 2 dogs + no vacancies due to hurricane Ian), so I agreed to sign-off. LENNAR kept their word for literally 2 business days. Then no response. I’ve been in my home for 1.5 months now. I still have plenty of items that need to be addressed. Not to mention the house was still in construction mode and filthy dirty upon closing! THIS WAS THE WORST NEW BUILD EXPERIENCE! I’m very surprised that corporate believes that 90+ items were corrected in less that 2 weeks during hurricane Ian. I’m Looking forward to LENNAR turning this experience around through their Warranty process. Rick & Kristina ... More

Everything was great until we found numerous items that had poor workmanship.
