I was working with Amerisave on a refinance of my primary residence. I was given rate and fee terms, we got to the title completion. I was told that the were "guaranteed" per company policy that they wouldn't change. I asked repeatedly to lock the rate and fees during the process, they said that wouldn't be necessary and it was "guaranteed" to stay the same while I closed the one, single and last title company item. I kept insisting, they kept assuring that it wasn't necessary. They refused to lock the rate and fees. They said in no uncertain terms, that the risk was on them, not me. After each step of the title company solutions, Amerisave told me the rates and fees were guaranteed not to change. They would honor the rates and fees.
I had asked to lock the loan rate and fees over and over again. Each time assured that it would not change; per “guarantee of company policy”. They again assured that they were taking the risk, not me. After $1200 of costs to provide the title company with documents that never should have been required, that morning I submitted all documents, emailed the company and let them know, the company then called me and apologized that my loan rates and fees will no longer be honored and they will require $22K more in points fees to keep the promised rate. The promised "guarantee" was no longer going to be held and company policy had changed as of today.
This bait and switch will cost me $35,788.45 over the life of the loan. The origination agent apologizes over and over again to me repeatedly over the next weeks. Promises that a senior VP will call and fix the situation. They never called. I called over and over and over again. I eventually got a competitor to give an alternative at the now higher rates Amerisave was offering, and the competitor got to closing ready in 16 days. I called and let Amerisave know. The promised to generate compensation for the situation and moved me to close at rates I never agreed to, but by looking at the disclosures, they assume that means I agreed to close. They scheduled a closing and two days before closing at the modified rate and fees, which I never consented to. I called to stop them.
The senior manager called back finally and openly made it very clear that Amerisave was knowingly taking on the risk of floating rates while the times were good over the last year, they were not shy about telling clients this, but that things changed this last month. He stated that they were taking on that risk during the year due to protracted closing times. That the risk was theirs, at least by their word and the intended appearance to the consumer. They were using that position to assure the clients and gain their business.
The reality is that Amerisave was lying. Amerisave was never taking any risk, because as soon as the financial consequences of those risks that “they were supposedly taking” came to fruition, they immediately shifted all responsibility and consequences of those risks immediately back onto the client. In other words, it was a sham and a scam. They created the public illusion that the client wasn’t taking in the risk, but the company was. However in reality, the client was always the one taking the risk regardless of the false statements by the company. Because they never held to the guarantee, they didn’t take on the consequences of that risk. They need to be held accountable to the fraud and predatory practice of promising borrowers no risk and guarantees, but then walking away with clients money when it wasn’t to their advantage.

The process with AmeriSave was very fast. The only thing that held me up was I could not find my letter from Social Security and I had to request it. Now, had I not had to request it, we probably would have closed in less than three weeks. I had everything ready but I didn't have that letter. So when I got the letter, they closed in no time. There was a glitch from the attorney's office that closed our home, mailing the checks to State Farm to pay off our vehicles. This had been going on since February 11th but it finally cleared yesterday. When we needed some help getting the closure on the vehicle, I got a little frustrated because I'd call our rep and text him and he wouldn't call me back. So then I would finally get a text. I'd rather have had a phone call than a text. Other than that, when I called, he was pretty on the spot.

I originally started my refinance process with AmeriSave because the reviews stated quick closings. I provided them with all requested documentation and after more than 90 days, countless emails expressing my concerns about interest rates rising, duplicate requests for information already provided, and my countless questions about the holdup, they finally indicated that they were ready to close but first I had to speak to the loan manager (who was out of town for 3 days and was apparently was the only person able to tell me that too much time had passed and that now I would owe money to keep the original rate).
I called Ladera the same day I was advised of the new rate by AmeriSave, spoke to Robert **, 16 days later we closed with Ladera. Same info provided to both companies in the same timely manner. Ladera’s process was extremely streamlined and Robert at Ladera Lending was EXCELLENT! Highly recommend them, the only positive thing I have to say about AmeriSave is that they agreed to, and did, refund my $500 application fee. I 100% stand by the factual content of this review.

AmeriSave Mortgage is a deceptive company. Friday my wife and I received information from AmeriSave titled "Notice to Home Loan Applicant." The documentation showed our credit scores from the 3 credit reporting agencies. The problem was that we had never heard of AmeriSave and did NOT apply for a Home Loan through AmeriSave (or anyone else).
On Monday I called the number on the documentation and reached "Brett" (if that was his real name). He told me he was licensed in AZ. When I explained that we had never applied for a Home Loan and that I was concerned that someone had misappropriated our social security numbers, he kept saying "Well, this is like a menu. No one stole your social security number. This was only a soft pull." He explained that he did not have my social security number. When I asked how was he able to pull our credit scores if he didn't have our social security numbers, he hung up. Again, we never applied to AmeriSave for a home loan and we certainly did not authorize Brett to use our social security numbers to pull a credit report, soft or otherwise. BEWARE of this company. They are pulling “soft” credit reports without permission apparently as part of a marketing scheme.

Michael, the guy that I talked to, seemed knowledgeable. The communication with him was what got me started on Amerisave. He was helpful in answering my questions. However, Amerisave could do a fixed rate instead of a floating one or at least make that more to where it's not something you find as you're going along. That was the only thing that I had trouble with.

I was looking for a lower rate. AmeriSave's application process was pretty smooth and the underwriting process took about 45 to 60 days. The only thing was their website was a little glitchy. Other than that, AmeriSave has good rates and I really liked my rep, Will.

My dad was going through a refinance with AmeriSave to lower his interest rate and he recommended them to me. We just went along with that because he had done research on who he wanted to use. The rep was very kind, sweet and easygoing. He answered all of my questions and even if I had silly questions, he didn't make me feel crazy for asking those. AmeriSave made the process easy as well. They got the ball going really fast, and then my previous mortgage company wouldn't return their phone calls. They made it a little hard for them, but then I called to check up on it, and they told me what they needed. I called my mortgage company and got the ball rolling again for them.
I would recommend them. I called a couple of times and they would return my phone call right back. I'm not in Texas where their company was, so we did this all through the phone and online. I've never done that before, so I don't know if that's fast for not seeing anyone in person. Still, I was happy with the process. We've dropped down a whole point too.

Derek was awesome. He did a great job. We had a good relationship. He was listening to what I wanted to have done, and seemed like he could do it. He helped me through the process. He explained the process and he kept me informed. He was letting me know the steps along. Even when we had some struggles of funding the loan and there was a miscommunication with that, he was an advocate for me at all times. The only thing was we did a little cash out and it was supposed to be funded in three days but it turned out to be six days. Derek had to escalate it to his supervisor. But overall, it was a good experience.

My experience with Amerisave is even though they seem quick and mostly thorough, they never call you back. I'd also worked with them when they did a modification of my mortgage in 2008. You might get messages through them by email but no one ever answers the phone. I talked to my loan officer the first time when I initiated the loan and that was the very last time I ever talked to her. When things went slightly awry and they had the wrong good faith estimate and other stuff together that were not as committed, I had to talk to her. But it always seemed like it was a struggle getting ahold of people. They don't ever want to be in verbal communication.
I've had a lot of properties so I'm very familiar with the loan process. This one was kind of weird in the sense that they did not communicate very effectively. They were good but if they communicated better, it would have been a big advantage. My daughter is doing a loan with them also and that's exactly the experience she is going through. She's got a problem where they're not honoring their rates and terms, and she can't even speak to anybody. They can send out email after email but if they’re not gonna be responsive to that, it doesn't mean anything.
I shop a lot of rates off of websites and what happens when you do that is you high volume kind of lenders who go to a million loans because they're not charging you as much. As a consequence, you don't get all the same customer service you do with a small lender who might charge you higher rates but who babies you through the whole process. The process with Amerisave ended up taking 60 days and it's kind of dragged on. They were telling me they were going to get it done in 30 days. I didn't know when the final approval would come. I kept asking then all of a sudden, they sent me a text that they were waiting for me to sign. They got the rate done and it ended up okay. The rates and terms were all good but it's kind of weird that they don't have a website where you can make a mortgage payment on. You have to do an auto draw with them or you have to phone it.

I wanted to Refi so reached out to approx. 6 different lenders: some on-line, some banks/Credit Unions where I bank, or local lender. I contacted Amerisave, spoke with Martin D. He made many promises of his accessibility and availability. My experience: Just the opposite!!! I took a lot of time applying, uploaded docs, signing e disclosures, etc, Yet when I needed to get an answer or something changed or explained he did NOT respond to my emails or calls. If you say something: FOLLOW thru. Poor experience with the customer service I received Jan and Feb of this year 2021.
I would go elsewhere in my opinion- save yourself the headache and frustration. Not sure how they got rating so high-not my experience. Did find an article from 2014 where they were found guilty of "Bait and switch"... I need people who follow through and are integrous. Went with a local lender and couldn't have been happier. Loan closed today, with excellent customer service.

Going with AmeriSave was pretty much a price decision thing. In getting all the details updated on my homeowner’s certificate, I had some technical problems with uploading documents. I kept getting pushed to upload them. If a customer is having a problem and AmeriSave had an email address where a customer could say, “I've tried this. Here you go. Have somebody else upload them.” That probably would help and make things easier. Other than that, everything was fine and I was happy overall.

Roy ** was quite cordial and quick with getting us our numbers where we wanted them to be.

After multiple emails and phone calls for assistance, in which we were told it's been resolved many time although it hadn't, AmeriSave closed out our load application. After receiving the email stating it was closed, I contacted Roy ** who assured me he would get it straightened out and give me a call first thing the following day. I'm still waiting for that call and for the minimal difference there was between Huntington Bank and Amerisave I now wish that we would have just went with Huntington.

Josh told me from the beginning that I would not have any trouble because I had such a great credit score. But then, it seemed like I had problem after problem. They wanted a survey and an appraisal and they didn’t communicate with me. I had to do all that, other than the appraisal, for which they sent a guy out here. Also, I couldn't get answers to my questions. I couldn't get Josh and his supervisor to answer me. Then, I called AmeriSave and I didn't know there was one here in Texas. I had been working with the office out of Georgia. But the rep in Texas answered the question real quick for me.
I’m not computer savvy and I did a lot of the process over the telephone. Josh helped me with it but it could have been a faster and easier process. And there were a few things that could have been different. Had I known there's AmeriSave here in Texas, I would have worked with them. Also, they should have communicated with me better about my deed and my survey. This was scary for me and it took so long. Now, I'm trying to get the payment done automatically drafted. I've faxed in the papers but I haven't heard a word from them.

Answer reluctantly opening a link on Facebook Charles by at least 500 phone calls most of them from another company, I hooked up with an agent who I thought was very competent, very personable and very helpful. Having been in the Real Estate Field myself years ago I recognized it immediately. I just stayed with her. She guided me through every step of the process despite all types of communication problems due to the present work environment with everyone working at home, and the ensuing miscommunication between departments etc. etc.
It was quite a long time and quite a lot of paperwork but in the last hour when I was ready to drop out of the process my originator got me to hop back on the bus and, a few days later it closed. I'm very grateful and the money that it is saving me per month is life-changing. I think the most important thing is the originator-the primary person that you work with. Make sure they are right for you and expect varying degrees of a rocky road ahead of you. As I had mentioned before having been in the Real Estate Field myself I can tell you that refinancing a mortgage is quite involved; there's a ton of paperwork that passes through many hands and in the present pandemic environment it is even more difficult. I am glad I stuck with it!

I looked into AmeriSave and looked at the Better Business Bureau and did some due diligence on the company itself and saw very positive reviews. I decided to get more information and the process was very simple. Adam, who we worked with, was great. He answered all of my questions immediately and helped us through the entire process.
I'm in IT, so I appreciate using technology wherever possible and I love the portal. It was very easy to upload documents, keeping all the correspondence in there, and checking on the status was great. The whole process was geared so that anyone can do it. I did most of it through my phone. I enjoyed how convenient it was. It's a very well-oiled machine right now. In total, with all the correspondence, the process took a couple of hours broken up between the initial process and getting documentation.

Amerisave mortgage rep. William called me and offered me to refinance my property in November. Based on the rates and fees quoted, I started the application on December 10. I was told that Amerisave don't lock the rates but I am guaranteed to get the rates in the initial disclosure, if the rates move up. I asked to lock the rates multiple times. But they refused to do so. As of March 11, after three months, my loan is still in approved (after underwriting) status, waiting to be closed. Amerisave now says they need Senior manager's approval to honor the initial rates, since the rates have gone up. The loan has been on waiting mode for some time.

I just lost my money and time, I paid $500 for the mortgage origination fees and the process was so slow, I wait 3 months and nothing happened, They asked me for documents that they suppose to obtain like pay off from the current lender. Amerisave never lock the rate, I may change as getting close to the closing date. Another bad thing was a $4000 cash-to-close increase from my original Loan estimate, I noticed this on the Disclosure documents. I changed to another lender and the closing cost was super easy, it was completed in just 3 weeks with a better rate, I suggest looking for other options before applying with this lender (Amerisave).

What I was impressed with is that Charles was an excellent mortgage guy. I'd highly recommend him. He did a wonderful job. He made the process seamless and answered any questions I had. He was very helpful. That was one of the main reasons that sold me. I refinanced several years ago with Quicken Loans and they irritated me. They kind of came back to me like I was an idiot for not taking their offer. I like good customer service. If customer service is not there, you won't get my business long. Charles treated me like a customer and that's the way it should be. A lot of likened institutions act like they're doing you a favor by giving you a loan but I don't take too kindly to that because you're paying dearly for it. So far, it's been seamless with Amerisave. The rates were very competitive. I've already got all the information, I've got my payment schedule set up on AutoPay, and I'm good to go now.

AmeriSave was number two on the list and number two always tries harder, which was why I chose to go with them. Everything was very smooth, easy and transparent.

I did some research online and AmeriSave seemed to have good rates. I worked with them to refinance my investment property and my primary. The application and underwriting took over two months. I expected it to take less time. They said that it took a little longer than expected because they needed some documentation from our association in our investment property. Our primary moved a little faster because we started later and finished first. Ernest was our rep and he was good. He was always returning my calls. He always talked to me when needed and when I had questions. I need him now. I have a question. Now that everything is finalized, AmeriSave is not getting back to me anymore.
The rate we got during the refinance was good at the time. After we started, rates went down a little bit. But then, we didn't want to start again. The reason for that is because we had Mr. Cooper in our primary before and we were going to refinance our investment property with them. But we were four months in already and they couldn't finalize it. We dropped them and we started with AmeriSave. In the process, we realized rates were low. We tried to refinance our primary already so it can save some money.
We had problems when we were about to sign the documents for our primary. I failed because I should have AmeriSave to go over the numbers so there was no question. But I'm usually pretty busy. They also didn't call to see if all of the numbers were finalized and hear what they mean. When the lady doing the notary got here for us to sign, I did not agree with the numbers. My wife's last name was also wrong in one of the documents. I sent this lady away. They had to print the document again. They then called me that they went over the numbers and we finally signed the papers. It would be good if AmeriSave could call their customers ahead of time and go over everything just to make sure everything is good to go.

One of the things that stood out with Amerisave was the quality of service when I talked to the person that was working with me. He was quite responsive to all my queries. There were times when he did not have an answer and he would let me know that he would come back on it. He was good at keeping in touch on the emails. I would love to have him again if I get another chance. Another thing is that there was a clear communication during the process around all the questions that I raised regarding the interest rates and making sure that the numbers are correct even before the whole process was put in for closing purposes.
The application process was pretty straightforward and I did like the website. There’s a pop-up window where it says what document to upload. But I would have expected an option for me to upload any document. I don't have to wait for the processor to come back and tell me what document they needed. I should be able to go and upload it and not wait for a pop-up to show an option for me to upload that particular document. I had to email those documents which I did not want to happen. I would rather upload all the documents in one place.
The rates were good given that the market was a bit volatile during those times. I was given the option to go and check on different interest rates and different points being applied. I was given enough options to choose from. I hardly had seen anyone do that for me in the five or six refinancing that I've done in the past.

I considered refinancing but was skeptical if I would proceed with it. I received a call from Amerisave offering to get me good rates but in order to do this was asked to give 500 dollars which I was not told was for the quotes. I backed down and decided not to go through with the process and now I'm told it was an application fee and non refundable. If this had been made clear to me from the beginning I would have not proceeded with the so called getting quotes. 500 is a lot of money for quotes. Sorry but I consider them predatory.

Refinancing is a long process. So, the beginning phone calls are probably the most important because those are the time you are entering this thing and getting more detailed information. Every time I call AmeriSave, the rep there picks up the phone. They helped me all the time in the first half of the process. That's good enough for me and that's why I like AmeriSave. They also had a lower rate. After the first part of the process, their rep was no longer there always talking to me. I understand that. I'm doing a second mortgage with them as well.
Everybody relies on an automatic system. They cut costs. But the problem is the second half of the process, I constantly receive emails from AmeriSave asking me for more information, even though I've already given them the information before. I also called and told them that I had given them in different ways. I had emailed the loan processor or I'd upload the information based on their direction but I was still receiving emails asking me for the same information. The rep said that those things were generated automatically.
Fortunately, I kept all information backed up in my drive so every time AmeriSave asked, I could just give them my gap. But I hate to give them the same thing again and again. Also, those are confidential information and I don't want them flying on the internet all the time. So that's one thing that they need to improve. After the main loan processor finished his part, he passed it to a different assistant and the same thing happened again. AmeriSave sent me an email and I replied and told them not to send me the email again. Then the next day, the email comes again. It just pops automatically.
On the second mortgage, an appraisal has to be done. The appraisal was supposed to be done about two weeks ago already. The reason why we cannot do it is because of the schedule we've had before with the tenant. The tenant got COVID and we didn't want the appraiser to step in the house. AmeriSave said that the appraiser didn't have to go into the house. They could just go outside, take the measurement and get the major dimensions. I found my survey plan that showed how large the property was and the floor plan from the builder. So we know what's going on inside the house. I gave those to them and I talked to the appraiser as well. The appraiser said that the information was good enough and he would see if they could generate the appraisal report and give a reasonable estimate of the house value this way. I've been actively cooperating with them and they will probably go to the property on March 15.
In the next couple of weeks, we'd probably be able to close this loan. I asked AmeriSave if there was anything else that I needed to do or to help. But so far, nobody answered me. The whole process is already on the way but I still need confirmation from them if there's anything else that needs to be done. There's a limitation of 90 days for the lock rate and I don't want it to be expired. So now, I'm just waiting. Everybody is talking about refinancing because everybody knows the rate is low and I've told them my story with AmeriSave and recommend them.

We paid the $500 fee over a month ago, which we were told would lock the rate. Brett now says the rate won't be locked until almost closing. He said as of today, February 23, 2021 rates have gone up from when we first started the process so we have to pay more points if we want our original rate.
At one point, at the end of January, rates went down. Brett said he would send paperwork reflecting the new rate. A few days later when we had not gotten any documents I contacted Brett. He said we lost out on the lower rate because the title dept. contacted our flood insurance for a certificate and they were told our insurance was cancelled. This is ** because not only did I send over insurance documents in December, I sent a copy of my mortgage escrow page showing the flood insurance premium was paid Dec. 19, 2020.

I had a woman named Jessica and of all the people who called me when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do, she kept, not nagging me, but saying, “Hey, I'm here.” And that worked out good. I finally said, “Okay, I'll see what she's got.” And I said, “I want to have the lowest interest rate possible so that my monthly payment would be as low as possible.” That means that I don't have to worry about having some excess points sitting around. Because I can always deduct that, assuming we go back to that normal tax thing.
She had me go through this thing where I could play off the amount of money that I would have to lay in points to the interest rate. That was absolutely perfect. I could do it myself. I did not have to ask a question and wonder whether, “Oh, yeah. That's what they say the lowest rate is.” This was right on the thing. And if I didn't like it, hang up. Sorry, Jessica. That's the end.
I got a 2%, and that's the rate that I’m paying. It's not the effective interest rate because you have to factor in the amount of points that you're leaving on the line. But I didn't care because all I want to do is go up to heaven peacefully. So I said to Jessica, “Okay, yeah. I see 2%. How do I make sure I get that?” And then she explained the process for locking in and what we would have to do. She was very good at that.
The problem was Jessica was dealing with the screwiest information system that I've ever seen. They would ask, “Okay, this is what we need. We need it instantly if you want to save you money.” Okay, I put it in, and then the next day, I would get another thing. Ever heard of the term, the death of a thousand cuts? It's a Chinese torture. That's what AmeriSave’s information system is.
As we got further along, in December, I got this thing that said, “Congratulations. Your mortgage is approved and we'll be moving toward closing.” “Oh, my God, that's a lot faster than Jessica said.” It turned out, for whatever reason, that was their stupid computer system. So we went through early January. And then this happened every week. There was something coming in. I had a problem with my aged computers. The computers are fine for what I want to do with them. I've got two laptops, one will run my printer/scanner combination, but only to scan something. I've got the other one that I use for most of my stuff that will print on this thing, but only print. And it will go on the internet. But the other one won't go on the internet, so I couldn't scan my mortgage bill and get it on to the internet.
I made trips up to Staples, and that didn't bother me. It wasn't that expensive. But then, many times, I would put the stuff in and couldn't get them to recognize it. Jessica helped me more than most people that I've dealt with have helped me. I’ve got an iPhone 6s and she taught me how to take a picture of a document and send it to her, and then she loaded in a thing. And we kept getting these stupid things. I must have gotten five or six things saying, “Congratulations. You're moving to closing now,” or words to that effect. But she helped me.
And then it got worse. When we were getting close to closing, she indicated that I would have to have the attorney come to me. Okay, because we've done that in the past. She indicated that early in the game, because I said we would go wherever the guy was. But she said, “No, he'll come to you.” As we were getting right into the closing thing, her manager indicated that she felt that I had been mistreated. I guess I'm used to that. Because a lot of the problems were with the title company. I kept getting these closing documents. And after I got tired of reading them until we got to the final, but I noticed that the amount of funds I would get back, which were in the $5,000 to $8,000 range, kept changing. I understood why they were changing, because they had overestimated the amount of money that I would owe a couple of my other companies.
But then all of a sudden, it would cost me $600 something to have the lawyer show up. That was a surprise. I've never had to pay for an attorney to show up. I did not raise that issue with Jessica. But she was upset because the title company hadn't put that in. So there we were right at the close, and all of a sudden, there was this charge showing up for $600 something. Not a great amount.
AmeriSave said that American Title owed me money because of the way they handled these things. And I haven't got that yet. I had to pay something that I really didn't intend to pay, or at least half of it. That pissed me off. Then they would send me a check. And Texas got all kinds of snow, freezing weather, and they were going to FedEx that check to me. It took a week or more before FedEx even picked it up. It took five days for FedEx to actually get it on the ground to Boston. And then from Boston, it took them four days, but that included a weekend to get the thing from Logan Airport up to me, 26 miles.
But other than that, I've recommended Jessica. I was a little worried about AmeriSave. Because when you look at the Better Business Bureau report, some of those things about the people who initiated it, and then they never hear from them again. I've had that experience with a lot of people, particularly in the mortgage business. But Jessica, when she said to me, “We're still working on seeing if you can get the refund,” my reply was, “I guess, Jessica, I can always trust that you will do what you believe is right.” Jessica was super. She helped me and I had a good opinion of AmeriSave based on that one person.
Get somebody who understands the process. Take somebody who has been through the process. There didn't seem to be the need to tell me that we were proceeding to the closing. And then a couple of days later, “Oh, and one more thing you got to supply.” Whatever AmeriSave does to get rid of that would be a real improvement.

The rep was very good and helpful during our refinance with AmeriSave. But the application and underwriting process took a long time. They said it was because of the delay on the mortgage insurance. It took at least three months to close it. In the mortgage that I had before with Cardinal, I was given a date since Day One. They said that they were gonna close at this date and they were very tight on time. We had plenty of time. But with AmeriSave, I didn’t have a closing date at first.

Like many people, I'd made credit mistakes in the past and saw the chance to refinance as an opportunity to reduce debt and have a jump start at rebuilding my credit. Communication was not excellent but tolerable, and I knew that dealing with a worldwide pandemic would slow everything down. My refinance process began in June and finally wrapped up in November, right before Thanksgiving. Shortly thereafter, I received a letter that my mortgage had been sold to a 3rd party lender. Fine. Except that the title company responsible for distributing funds after closing still has not paid my mortgage insurance.
The only communication was an email that said we are looking into it and will overnight a check. That email was 2 weeks ago and still no payment. I have sent multiple emails to follow up and ask for an update. I've heard nothing back. Usually, when I call Amerisave's customer service, I get the voice-mail instead of a real person. Today, I finally talked to a real person, and he was rude and gave me the wrong number for the title company! The whole situation has been frustrating to say the least.
I accept some responsibility because I wish my credit had allowed me more options with more credible companies who value their customers and do business with integrity. Fortunately, my credit score is climbing, and I will hopefully never be in this situation again. As soon as I can, I'm going to sell my house and buy a new house with a mortgage company that I can trust to deliver excellent customer service. Please beware! If you're looking for a way to rebuild your credit, please be patient and wait until you can qualify for a refinance with another company. I don't want anyone else to experience what I'm experiencing now.

AmeriSave creates a facade that they are responsive and professional to encourage confidence until the application fee is paid, followed by a complete lack of professionalism and absence of communication. We were lured in with promises of low interest rates and points, but then upon receiving our Closing Disclosure 5 weeks into the process, our closing costs had increased by over $2000 despite having signed for a rate-lock of interest rate and points weeks prior. After multiple unanswered voicemails and emails, I was finally able to speak with our loan officer, Jacob ** (NMLS ID **), who acted inconvenienced to answer my questions and became hostile and defensive when asked to clarify the discrepancies. He stated he had no idea where I was coming up with the percentages that I was referencing, despite having documentation of the rate-locked Loan Estimates and Closing Disclosures citing these rates/loan points with his signature on them.
He began yelling and berating me and stated that it is not his fault that I didn’t understand what I was signing and they had not made any mistakes on their part, followed by him threatening to cancel our loan application and then hanging up on me. I attempted to contact his supervisor, Sean ** (NMLS ID **) multiple times via phone and email with no success. Sean’s voicemail provides a contact number for his supervisor, Jonathan **, to contact for “immediate assistance” but after multiple calls I was never able to get through to him and his voicemail was full. I was unable to find Jonathan on the company directory to follow-up via email.
I am truly perplexed as to how Amerisave has any good reviews. I have found multiple other reviews of customers who have had similar experiences to ours - citing mistakes on discloser sheets involving interest rates and points as well as running themes of lack of communication, ineptitude of loan officers, and poor customer service. This company fosters a culture of bullying and assumption of consumer ignorance. Overall I found the staff to be unprofessional and inaccessible. Save yourself the headache and grief of dealing with them as well as your $500 application fee. I would leave a 0 star rating, if able.

I chose to refinance my home through Amerisave. The original app process started off smooth but then it dragged out and final closing was a chore to say the least. Once I closed I kept getting conflicting information on my loan specifically the "present servicer" and the "new servicer". I never could get anyone from the "present servicer" to return my calls and finally got through to the "new servicer" and when I asked about biweekly payments I was sent the wrong form to the wrong company and had I not caught it I would have sent my banking info to them.
It takes way too long to get through to anyone and now I find that my loan which I've only had with you for less than a month has been sold to Fannie Mae. If my old mortgage company, Wells Fargo was offering a cash out program I would have stayed with them. For 10 years I was always able to reach someone, get my questions answered in a timely manner and get resolution. So far I've been less than pleased or impressed with the customer service or rather lack of customer service with AmeriSave. I did a lot of research before I decided on this company but find the positive info I thought I was getting was less than desirable. I hope the rest of my refi with you all gets better.

I do not understand how Amerisave stays in business! My loan process started on July 16th. There were 3 separate loan applications made for a cash out loan, the 1st two were screwed up by Kris ** with wrong and inaccurate information was being used. Finally, I got a new loan originator, Jonathan ** and processor, Chad **, who managed to fix the mess by Kris and get it approved on December 15th. Disbursement of funds was to occur on 12/23. ServiceLink failed to send the closing package to my daughter in San Francisco for her signature on December 22. No notary showed up. As it turned out the package instead of being sent to San Francisco CA, It was sent to Pennsylvania. I contacted Chad ** and found out that the loan had been scheduled to be disbursed without my daughter’s signatures. Which in my opinion would have constituted mortgage fraud by Amerisave? He managed to get the disbursements stopped.
A new scheduled time was made for my daughter to sign the documents on December 26th. Notary did show up and documents were signed. The notary had to come back 2 additional times to get additional signatures which were not obtained. My daughter asked to review each page of the closing document to check for missing initials and signatures, the notary refused to let her review the documents. I checked with Chad on Monday December 28th to confirm that all was good. He was not able to find out if ServiceLink has received the signed documents. The existing mortgage and home equity loan was finally paid by Servicelink on 01/05/21. So here we are over 5 ½ months later…
I am not happy with the additional interest expenses on my current mortgage and credit cards for the extended time it took for the loan to be approved and finally closed on January 5th, 2021. I feel that Amerisave should compensate me for these additional interest costs and for the torture that I was put through to get this to completion. The only shining stars in this process are Jonathan and Chad. They worked hard and tirelessly on getting this loan processed and getting it approved. I hope that Amerisave is not expecting a raving review of my experience in getting this loan. If it were possible to give negative stars, Amerisave would get a minus five stars! This process has been the worst experience I have ever had with a mortgage company. Being a Realtor, I’ve dealt with many mortgage companies and you should be ashamed of how your customers are treated!

Updated on 02/20/2021: Edit: The company, after seeing reviews, offered to refund me the $500 application fee. I accepted and intended to amend my reviews, but then saw on my closing statement that they'd charged me the $500 fee AGAIN at closing. When I brought this up to the company, they ignored my email for two days, then told me as the notary was standing in front of me that "the $500 application fee was refunded, but that actually means we make it a closing cost, and since most people roll the closing costs into their loan, they don't have to pay the fee out of pocket." So they thought they were doing me a favor by putting the $500 fee into my loan...and having me pay interest on it for 30 years. Clearly the company doesn't know what "refund" means, and this behavior is borderline fraudulent since they were not upfront with the fee and tried to sneak it into the settlement statement. Shady, shady company. Avoid at all costs.
Original Review: Terrible, terrible company. They charge a non-refundable $500 fee to lock your rate, then become very difficult to work with. They asked for the same documentation half a dozen times to stretch out the process, and the manager (Jin) ignored my voicemails when I was instructed to call him for clarification. When the title company canceled my closing three minutes before the notary was scheduled to arrive (5 pm), Jin called me at 7:30 to berate me for not being willing to have someone else out late that evening to close. I said I'd prefer a different title company after this experience, and he threatened me with additional hefty fees for going beyond my "rate lock period."
AmeriSave were the ones who kept requesting the same documents over and over, which pushed us so close to the end of the lock period - intentionally, of course, so they could use this threat if any hiccups occur (which they will). We used them because they had the lowest advertised rate, but after the $500 fee and terrible customer service, you're definitely worse off than if you'd used another company.

I began refinancing my mortgage with AmeriSave on August 2, 2020, and I have uploaded all the documents immediately upon request. It has been over six months now, but I have no idea about the status of my loan. I received a new disclosure on Jan 27 and have uploaded my insurance information again. Since then, I have tried contacting my loan originator, his manager, and my loan processor multiple times by phone calls, texts, and emails to ask about my loan process, but no one has not responded yet.
It is my third time with Amerisave, and I had not had any issues before and it took less than 60 days to close my loan twice. But now, I am extremely concerned about my delayed loan process. I am very confident that my application has no issues getting approval. I understand it's a busy time, but I already spent over six months on this process and paid extra monthly mortgage payments due to a significant delay. I did everything I was requested to do, and I want to close my loan with Amerisave as soon as possible.

Amerisave provided good rates. Theirs was among the most competitive of the offers that I've received and that was a large part why we decided to move forward with Amerisave. I was working with a very knowledgeable broker and he gave me good guidance and expectations from a timing perspective. He was very responsive too. It was a nice experience. It was my first time refinancing and I understood some of the hurdles and what needed to be done. They walked me through the entire process which was very easy and relatively smooth.

AmeriSave's low prices and customer service were great. Jacob, the rep, could dumb it down to my level. Also, when I kinda started digging into it more, he was able to help explain the details. Then every step of the way, he was very clear about what I needed to do, what he was doing, and what opportunities there were. He gave me good recommendations that I ran by people I trust, and they were aligned. There was one time when they had somebody other than Jacob. Somebody who works with the underwriter called me and started asking me to share things. I said I won't tell him. He called Jacob then Jacob called me and said it was all good. I talked to the guy. The lenders that I used when I did my actual buying of my house were nothing compared to what I got from AmeriSave.

I was trying to refinance my house. I have my mortgage with Quicken Loans and I contacted them around July. They kept hanging me on until towards the end of November. I got tired and frustrated with them because they kept asking for the same information and just kept me going. At that point was when I saw Amerisave. I called them up and talked to them. I told them the situation I was going through with Quicken Loans. I called up Quicken Loans and told them that I was canceling my application with them and that I was going to start one with AmeriSave. I started working with AmeriSave and they assured me that they could get it done in less than two months. It turned out to be less than two months. It was about seven weeks. We completed within four to five weeks but I felt like it did drag on like an extra week and a half which it didn't need to.
I got the 2.8% rate that they had told me I could get. However, I'm getting a little frustrated with them. In the application process, the gentleman that helped me out with the application at the time was very good. He asked me about whether the taxes had been paid for 2020. I told him yes. Quicken Loans had paid them out of my escrow account. He wanted a receipt. I told him I didn't have a receipt because I didn't pay them. I did go into the Quicken Loans website, printed the document where Quicken Loans had paid my taxes and my mortgage out, scanned it and sent it to him but he was not satisfied. They held the money for the taxes for 2020 in the closing settlement statement. We closed on the 11th of January but that money is not showing up anywhere.
I recently talked to them last week. I talked to five, six people from AmeriSave. I missed the call from one of the customer service reps from AmeriSave then I called back but she has not returned my call. I told her last week, "I think somebody dropped the ball here." It's been over a month since I closed and I have not received the statements that I closed on, the statements that my wife and I signed, the settlement statements from January the 11th. I called the tax office here and talked to a young lady. They told me they had not received anything. The only thing they had received was from Quicken Loans when it was paid back in October. Since they had not received anything, they have not issued a check.
I was quite satisfied with Amerisave at the beginning but after I signed, I haven't received anything. The closing amount that they deducted is still not settled and I'm wondering what's going on. If they had taken five minutes to call the courthouse, they could have easily found that. Once I got the number to the courthouse, it took me two or three minutes to get connected with the tax office and to the lady.

This loan was closed AND funded and NOW I'm being told there are missing documents! Totally unacceptable business practices! What the heck is going on with your company? I have had problem, after problem, after problem! I would never recommend AmeriSave again!

I was still trying to finish up the LendingTree forms when I got calls from different lenders. Some of them just continually called at inconvenient times when I told them that I would call them. AmeriSave was the least intrusive one. However, my biggest complaint was the lack of communication. Every time we communicated, I had to reach out to them. I got to the point where I was not hearing anything from them. Phone calls were not returned quickly enough. I got so concerned that it was not legitimate that I went looking at reviews online and I saw a lot of bad reviews from AmeriSave and a lot of miscommunication. I reached out and finally got ahold of a manager who apologized for the lack of communication. They were probably overwhelmed with refinances, given the low rates. But I would have liked to hear that, "We're still working on this," maybe once a week.
Also, they had a web system that was supposed to show the status of the loan, and that never updated, even when it got to underwriting. At some point, it went away. I asked about it and they said it's still a work in progress. Well, they shouldn't offer it to their customers if it's of no value. But then the rates and terms that I got were fair.

AmeriSave sent me one email and when I finally took the time to read that, it had everything in it that I wanted to know such as the closing costs and all the different rates that were available. I reached out to the same guy who emailed me a month prior and he got right back to me. We started the process. I initially thought it was too good to be true but it was all real. Customer service was excellent and I was very comfortable working with them.
I ended up with another 30-year program and there were no bells and whistles. I had a really great rate. Once I decided to do the loan until closing, that took about five weeks. It was delayed because the week after Christmas my HOA office took a holiday. Otherwise, it would have been just a quick four-week close. That was my property manager’s fault and not AmeriSave’s. Also, there were weird banking things and some things took a little bit longer. People at one of the banks that we had to pay off weren't in the office and it took them a long time to get the check.

AmeriSave had one of the better interest rates compared to other companies. The rep made it really easy. I'm not too technically-savvy, so she helped me through the whole process. The rates were really good. It all worked out. I did it right in the middle of Christmas and New Year's and it went pretty smooth.

AmeriSave followed through with some of my requests. I put in an application with my own local bank where my mortgage was and they worked with me. I was very pleased with my agent. Lisa was very patient with my working through my computer and answered some of the things that I didn't know how to operate on my computer. She was able to help me work it through.
I made my first contact in mid-October and I told her that I expected it to last for a while. But it seemed like every time I went on my emails, there was something else was needed. I had to get the information and then, I had to take it to FedEx and get it sent to AmeriSave. In one case, there were two entries of payment on one statement and no entry on the next statement and I had to explain why I did not get a payment showing on that one month. But that all was cleared up.
The rates and terms were reasonable. My credit wasn't outstanding in time to pay for my two grandkids to go to school. I was pretty low on cash and had to borrow money to try to cover that. And my couple of credit cards were maxed out. Through their loan, I was able to resolve that and now, I can sleep better at night because I know those are all paid off. If I were to hear from somebody that's in the market, I would tell them to look into Amerisave.

I wanted to thank Travaughn ** at AmeriSave for the exceptional service he provided during my recent mortgage refinance process. I had a lot of questions and Travaughn always answered them in a timely manner, even on weekends. Travaughn made sure I understood all the steps in the process, and stayed on top of all dates and parties involved. He was always very polite and friendly, so it often felt more like a conversation than straight business. Thanks again Travaughn!
