Complaint Review: Lennar Home Builders

In April we visited a Lennar house in Cordova Crossing and signed a contract that had to be done that day. They said there were 12 more showings that day and the house was sure to go. She said we had 3 days to change our minds. The house had been purchased before and was back on the market because someone withdrew their contract. The agent said that this person got their deposit back So, after putting down a deposit and completing a contract, we realized it was not a good purchase for us, especially after seeing some unsafe issues with the house. It seems to be a matter of taking advantage of older people as well. We also looked at the HOA restrictions and saw on the HOA app how frustrated neighbors in that subdivision were. Multiple people said they could not wait to move away because of the HOA. The next day we contacted the agent by text to let her know we were not going to purchase the house and wanted our deposit back. I had hurt my foot and ankle going down the unsafe steps in the garage that had no railings. The first time we saw the house about a month before there were no steps for the front porch to get down 3 cement steps so we told her that was a hazard. Then this time, they had makeshift railings on one side. I said that they needed both sides to have rails because they are wide steps. She said no, this is enough. The agent had told us that we can lock in the mortgage rate and to be sure to tell the lender. She insisted we go with their lender to get that deal. The Lennar lender called us that evening and said that they never lockin rates for anyone because the market fluctuates. I could go on. We have tried to get our deposit back through the chain of command, but have not had any success.
