Premium contentLennar Corp. engages in the provision of real estate related financial and investment management services. It operates through the following segments: Homebuilding, Financial Services, Multifamily, and Lennar Other. The Homebuilding segment refers to the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes and the purchase, development, and sale of residential land directly and through entities. The Financial Services segment focuses on mortgage financing, title, and closing services for buyers. Social media mentions are up 1467% in the past 24h.
