Sample user voices

"Terrible experience. Communication is non-existent. Our file has been in process for over 90 days for a refi. We have uploaded all requested information same day. I go 3-5 days with no reply from my processor. We are finally in closing, but closing has now been delayed 3 times due to their internal errors (mis-placed documents, communication errors etc). Would recommend avoiding at all costs. This process has been a complete nightmare."

"I told them that I got a pre-qualification through another company, so they said they could do better and told me to delete some disputes off of the credit bureau's and it should help me get approved and when I did it my credit instantly dropped 10 points, then they said they couldn't do anything."
