I was buying a house, so I put my info on LendingTree, and different people started calling me at the same time, and that was overwhelming. So, from a LendingTree perspective, that was too much. But, Amerisave was very good. The agent was really nice and knowledgeable on the phone, and I was confident that they would have the best price. The initial dude was great, and the lady who took over was pretty good as well. So, it went well.

I wanted to refinance our house because I wanted a lower rate, and I was impressed with the loan officer from AmeriSave that called me. He put us at ease and we felt comfortable with him. He had us fill out an application over the internet. He set up an account, I filled out the application and he got initial credit approval that we qualified, credit-wise. He sat on the phone and walked us through it. That was January 12th and we closed on February 2nd, which seemed pretty quick. It was a thorough process, like it should be.
Once we were approved, another rep took over and told us all the forms that were required, and he worked with the underwriter. And then offhand, if I had any questions, I could still give the loan officer a call or email. It was very professional. They were courteous, always thoughtful and they weren’t patronizing us. Our situation was a little complicated because I don’t get typical pay stubs. As a pastor, part of my pay is designated as housing allowance. It's not taxable and so that was confusing. I had to show that I used it, plus they wanted proof that the church would continue that relationship. AmeriSave was excellent overall. I've had houses for 40 years and this is the best I've ever felt dealing with a loan company.

From the beginning, Amerisave was very accommodating and very helpful as we were looking at options on where to get the mortgage. My mother-in-law, I think, has her mortgage through them. And she also lives on the same area where I got my house. So she’s like, “Try Amerisave.” And after speaking to Jeremy or Jacob from Amerisave, we didn’t look any further for another mortgage company. We only work with Jeremy and Jacob, and they were very, very prompt on their response. They walked us through the process and followed up with us when they’re supposed to until to the last day when the day we’re closing to see if we needed anything else. Every day we talk and email them. They alerted us in what document that we need to submit and extra documents for the compliance requirements. They really worked hard.
We were very comfortable working with them and they're true to their word that it’s going to be done this way. We went for a 30-year fixed, I think. We’re buying it for our future, hopefully, retirement house, maybe in 10 to 15 years. But we’re using it now as for investment purposes. They did a credit report and we sent them copies of our investment statement. And everything happened so quickly. We got it processed in a matter of three weeks. Everything was done online which is what we like. I already own two other houses and this is the quickest one that I’ve closed in three weeks. I don’t think I’d change it.
It's just there was another requirement needed from us for the compliance and we were curious why they needed it. Also, I still feel the mortgage interest rate is rising. I still thought I could have gotten a smaller rate. But who knows, maybe we’ll refi in a couple of years. I’ll recommend Amerisave to people that I know that’s looking for a mortgage.
Rosalina, tell your mother-in-law we said thanks for recommending us, and thank you for the review! We look forward to working with you in the future.

I was refinancing for a better rate and AmeriSave's cost was less, much better than what I had. So, I got a 30-year fixed loan program with them. Their online application process was simple and easy. I was able to speak with their rep, Zachary, and he's a man of his word. He did what he said he was going to do, took care of everything and he made it all work. So far, everything went smoothly and I'd tell others to give AmeriSave a shot.

I was looking for someone to refinance with since I was wanting to get money to cut back in my home and I went to LendingTree and I loved AmeriSave. The deal as they were giving me as far as their rate and their website was great. They were absolutely the best customer service I’ve ever dealt with. It goes beyond the mortgages. It was very easy for me to get the mortgage, it only took 14 days. Michael was one of the best and I’ve done several mortgages in my life. He’s the best person I’ve ever worked with and the interaction was fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Amerisave again or tell our friends.

Amerisave Mortgage is pretty good. They were the first one who responded to my request and to my every inquiry. I went with them for a 10 years fixed home mortgage. The online application process was good. They obtain a lot of information from me like employment history, my income, my saving and also my tax return. Application and underwriting took less than 10 days. Customer service is very good and they are responsive to email and also the telephone. The staff are very polite, knowledgeable, and are very comfortable wot work with. I'm satisfied with the rates and terms given to me. However, they don't have the option for online payment, of which they can improve on. Still, They are very helpful, and I have recommended another person to them and then my friend also got the refinance successfully.

We did an online search for mortgage companies and AmeriSave was one of the first ones to call and they just sold us on it. It was a lengthy process as expected but the two representatives were very thorough in explaining everything step by step so it made it easy for us to go ahead and process the application and actually obtaining the loan. The people we worked with were very respectful and professional and I would 100% recommend them.

AmeriSave called me and I liked the guy that I spoke with. He was knowledgeable, very friendly and he explained things well. After we filled out the application for a refinance then we got things through an online website, we had to send back papers and things that they wanted. We mostly communicated through email and I e-signed things online. The online process was very convenient.
AmeriSave then gave me to another woman who was very friendly and sweet. They answered all my questions and they’re very good at that. I was impressed with the fact that they were willing to take time in answering them. They weren’t in a hurry and were very accommodating. I was totally comfortable with them and they were too kind to me. At the end, they sent a lady down here to the house who did the notary and we signed the papers. The whole process, from the application to the underwriting, took 30 days or so and it went very smoothly. It was quick and easy. They also had a very competitive rate.

AmeriSave is a great company. They had no closing cost and I refinanced with them. I filled out the application and process was simple and streamlined. Timothy was the loan officer I spoke to. He was very friendly, professional and easy to talk to. The whole process was very impressive. Everything was very simple, fast and efficient so I was very happy. The underwriting took only three weeks and the rates were pretty good. This is my second refinance with AmeriSave. If rates change again, I’d do it again. I referred other people to them and others should try them too.

I heard Amerisave was very convenient to do. I applied for a loan, a conventional one, to bring down the rate and during the process of obtaining it, everything has a mind on its own and it was quick and easy. The online process was very nice. It took five minutes to complete and the representatives were wonderful. They gave me a general advice. I'm very satisfied and I would tell a friend to go ahead and deal with them.
Thanks for the review, Sukhminder! We appreciate your business.

We needed to refinance and I reached out to Lending Tree. AmeriSave was the first call and the guy that talked to me was very nice. He answered all my questions and he had some good ideas. The application was a little longer than normal because we had real estate investments and they wanted information on that, but they did well. Everything was clear and positive both over the phone and through email, and they worked to get things done.
The reps were very responsive and very polite. They had to follow up a couple of times but everything went well and we felt comfortable with them. Johan thought outside the box and said that maybe if we refinanced in my husband's name alone, it would get us a better rate. I thought that was good because for whatever reason, my credit score is lower than my husband's. So, that worked out and I was glad that Johan thought of that. I was happy with their rate. We looked at refinancing with Quicken Loans who we were with before and they couldn’t produce anything competitive like Amerisave did.

It has been a great experience. The Amerisave guy stayed until 9 o'clock at night his time and kept me on the phone until I said I won't shop anywhere else. When a hiccup happened, I went back to that salesperson and he said he'd look into it and would take care of it. It's very hard to find somebody who sells well enough to not say, "This is not my job anymore." They would listen to you and wouldn't disregard you. Everybody was very professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them.
What people do not realize when they say that they were terrible is that consumers drag stuff out of these people. When a representative asks for something, you better have it within 24 hours. Otherwise, how are they supposed to do their job? I was very Johnny-on-the-spot. I had everything already PDF. Even on difficult situations, I still came up with the stuff. Probably within the longest was 12 hours. It's very important that if a consumer is going to rate somebody, you need to have your stuff together. It will help out a lot of companies.

I decided to look into a mortgage for our second home. I went to my normal bank and saw what they could do for me. And then, I played hockey with one of AmeriSave's loan people. I asked him to see what he could do for me, too. I knew I was going to get a straight answer from somebody I knew so I picked AmeriSave and everything went well. I could upload and do all of my stuff. I own my own business, so there was a lot of extra paperwork that needed to be brought in. But I was able to do it all easily on the website and it was obvious what I needed to do in most cases.
The whole process took a month and we ended up closing a week later than we were supposed to. I'm glad I did the mortgage when I did because the rates are going up but AmeriSave was competitive with my normal bank. I felt I was going to get a better low-down on what I was doing versus best through the bank. Overall, AmeriSave reps were professional and their website was easy to use.

I did a refinance with Amerisave Mortgage and my experience is summed up in the word "awesome". I got so many quotes after I reached out to one of those online things, of which I wish more organizations or somebody would put some time and thought into making them user friendly. Amerisave and Loan Depot were the first two that popped up. I talked to both of them and I didn't have the same confidence after getting off the phone with Loan Depot as I did with Amerisave. I also went back to my own lender and they told me that they couldn't do any better. I didn't wait for responses and I went with Amerisave for a 30-year fixed loan program.
I gave Amerisave my pertinent information, Social Security number and some other information of other property. Within a couple of hours, the representative came back and told me what they could offer based on who I am, my credit score, and all of the stuff. Then she sent me a list of things and I began sending them all. They were surprised at how fast I responded to them during the process and their representative commented that she wishes all of their customers would send the request documents that quickly so they'd do a lot more loans.
I'm on the West Coast and they're on the East Coast, and I would send them an email even as late in the day as 2:30 then I would get a response from them within minutes. I get that I'm not the only customer but that was probably one of the most impressive things. They were very professional and I was very comfortable working with them. Also, towards the end of the process, we were out of town when we needed to sign and they came to us. They told us to find a location that we were comfortable with and they had the notary meet us there.
Amerisave has a very methodical, well executed plan and they kept me informed every step of the way, which is something that I really appreciated. Their process was phenomenal and it took less than 30 days. I've bought, sold, and refinanced a lot of properties and this is by far the best experience I've ever had. Even one of my very good previous lenders, New American Funding, wouldn't hold a candle to Amerisave. I would always love a better rate but based on the information I got, my rate was very fair. The terms were good and their cost was probably half of what most of my past estimates were. I liked my experience with Amerisave so much that I referred my son and his wife who are in the process of buying a house right now. They had a lender who they were working with and I told them to get a second estimate, and now they're going with Amerisave.

We refinanced with Amerisave Mortgage and got some new mortgages on some of our income properties. We applied online and the process was fine. However, it seemed they were pretty slow. It took quite a while since we did four properties. And then one of the first processors got replaced, so we had to resend the lost paperwork. But their team was good and very prompt to respond. Colton, their rep, did a terrific job. The rates were good and I was pleased with what we got. Amerisave was on top of everything. We’d recommend them.

I went online and AmeriSave called, and their interest rates were comparable to most of the other places. The online application process was very simple but it was long. I had two pieces of property and one was a secondary home, so it was a little more difficult to get everything settled with that. But I was happy as long as the interest rates stayed what they originally told me, and they kept it there. My reps were Teresa and David, and they were fantastic. Teresa did really good work, but both of them were great. It was like talking to family. And they would call right back. The only thing I didn’t like was how much I had to pay for closing costs. That was a little bit more than what I expected, but other than that, everything was great. It was a very easy and harmonious experience.

I was refinancing my line of credit because of the new tax bill. So, I was consolidating and decided to look into a mortgage. Different mortgage brokers contacted me, and John from AmeriSave was probably the most upfront. He disclosed everything to me by sending me what all the rates were, what the points were, and everything else. I had other people give me what felt like used-car salesman pitch, but I felt like he was the most candid. I have dealt and spoken to enough people to know who’s telling me the truth.
The application process was pretty good because I can upload the documents. John had someone working with him, and they did a decent job. It took a couple of weeks, and the problem was I couldn’t find my loan from Bank of America Line of Credit document. So, I had to request it, and Bank of America took forever to provide it. Otherwise, from AmeriSave’s standpoint, it was pretty quick. I was qualified, and they did everything on their end. AmeriSave was competitive, and the two individuals I’ve dealt with were straightforward. They wanted my business, and they laid their cards on the table.

I went online and said I'm looking to refinance my rental house in Florida. The guy, from Amerisave, whom I talked to was personable and gave me the information on what I needed. He followed up and did everything I could say on expectations. I figured why would I go anywhere else when he was doing a good job. Setting up the loan with them was outstanding. I think it might have been 30 to 45 days to get the mortgage. But it was all my fault for holding it up because I was on vacation. And I couldn't get them the paperwork they needed to close it. But everything was processed. I was approved in January and I signed the papers. And I couldn't have said enough about the two guys I worked with to get the loan processed to closing.
But all of a sudden, on the 1st of February, I got a notice in the email that AmeriSave sold my contract to somebody else. I now owe somebody else a payment. And there's nobody in AmeriSave who gives a rat's butt about saying they sold my contract and the company they sold it too is not even reaching out to say, "By the way, we're the new company." There’s nobody communicating nor human contact to tell me to do this and that unless I read and understand the email they sent me. And I figure when somebody doesn't get a payment, I'm sure somebody is going to call me and say, "Why didn't you pay the bill?" I've never made a payment through AmeriSave. My first payment is due the end of this month. And I was told it was sold within a week of closing or less. It was instantaneous. If anybody asks me how I like AmeriSave, I'd say horrible only because they make one think they love them. They do everything to get one's business.

I was financing our rental property and the product that AmeriSave Mortgage was offering was attractive to me in terms of interest rates and the different options that we did to structure the mortgage. Also, the person that I was dealing with, James, was pleasant to talk to. He was available to me at all hours. The application took a while but that was on our side because my husband and I needed to make some decisions on stuff. We started the process in November last year and we just closed recently.
I was satisfied with the service. However, it would have been helpful if I was given in an email a whole list of things to submit from the beginning and then, I'll just upload that. Because sometimes, things would come up in the middle of the process and that always delays things. And, not just a list but what exactly AmeriSave needs because there was an instance that I provided a document and it wasn't what they wanted. But generally, my experience was very pleasurable. AmeriSave will go out of their way to make the process convenient and comfortable for you. For example, our property is in North Carolina. I felt like we would need to go to a lawyer's office to sign off all the documents. But they had the notary come here to our house which I thought was quite unique because I haven't experienced that before.

I punched in some search online and AmeriSave was the first one to call me back. They had very good rates and the other guy I called couldn't really beat that or their closing cost. I applied for a refinance so they called me and I gave them my information. Then they double-checked my credit score to make sure that they'd give me that rate. I gave them one year's income and pretty much, one of their guys did everything with me right online. He caught me on a day I was sitting in my office and I was ready to do something. He walked me through the entire program step-by-step and it took about 30 minutes. I had a couple of questions back and forth before the closing and sent in more information that they needed. I was able to e-sign everything on the application. Then, they sent a notary over for the closing. Another gentleman took me through that and it was pretty seamless.
They emailed me the whole way through, let me know everything was good to go or whether they needed more information, and they were persistent on calling and making sure I was on top of whatever they needed which is what impressed me the most. The other guy I got a quote from was pushing off that AmeriSave had a terrible consumer report on them. He sent me all kinds of stuff on all the dissatisfied customers and on the customers who were happy with him. But I still went with AmeriSave because they were very persistent and more than helpful on getting the process done.

I went on to the LendingTree website and searched for mortgage interest rates. I was looking for the lowest rates and Amerisave was offering a very good low rate. The process was very, very smooth. Everything was online, which really helped. It worked out well. And they were very supportive with questions. They answered if I had any and kept telling me what I needed to do.

I wanted to refinance then my wife's uncle said that he used AmeriSave and that his experience was very straightforward and easy. So I went online, plugged in my information, and someone from AmeriSave called me right away after that. Everything happened pretty quick and things went smoothly. Their application process was pretty simple and took me 30 minutes to do. And every time they needed something, Mike and the underwriter lady would ask me for it and I gave it to them. They didn't need much from me other than my application. If I called and left a message, they called me back. They also sent me emails and were very helpful. If I called and had a question, they were very nice and answered them for me. If they didn't know, they got back to me. Every time I called, they took care of my situation right away. The whole process took less than 30 days to finish.
The main reason why I did the refinance was to lose my mortgage insurance, and I did. So, my mortgage went down with losing the mortgage insurance down for 140 bucks. Later on, I was thinking that maybe I could have even gotten a lower interest rate from AmeriSave. But they dropped my interest rate a quarter percent, so that was good. Other than that, everything else went perfectly. I'm happy that I chose them and I would recommend them to somebody else.

This was the second time that I refinanced with AmeriSave. I went online and filled out an application, and they sent me a log-in to a portal and I e-signed any paperwork to them through the portal. It was about three weeks altogether which was fine. However, some things were unclear, like I wasn’t sure how long I wanted the refinance or exactly how much. They said I could change but I don’t feel like anybody ever brought anything up as far as what my final decision on this was. But the rep was very helpful. They wanted what was in my best interest as far as keeping me informed on when the rates were going to go up. I wanted to close but I have a tendency to take my time on things, and he sent me emails warning me that the rates were going to go up and they did. It was a good experience.

I was going to combine my line of credit and fix my loan to lower my interest rate, so I did two mortgages with AmeriSave. I had the guidance of Alexander and Shawanda, and they were excellent. As a first timer applying by phone, they were very helpful. The next loan was good too. But the person who was going to approve the loan was waiting for a lot of other things that maybe it could be somewhat easier, but it turned out to be harder, so it caused trouble. They were supposed to have all my documents, but they did my first for $636,000 very faster than $416,000. But still it was good.
Someone offered me a lower rate, but since I promised Alex that I would work with them, so I didn’t go for that. Also, I didn’t know the people that were offering me that, so I didn’t trust them, and I decided to stay with AmeriSave. They were very honest and helpful, and that’s very important to understand the people they are working with. They are also very friendly and wonderful. I love them, and I’m going to send a lot of customers to them for sure.

I went to Lendingtree.com and Amerisave was one of the first two people to call me. I talked to Chris and he was a good representative for AmeriSave. I asked for certain tips and bets from them and provided the paperwork that they had requested. The application process for the conventional loan was a little bit easier than I thought it would be and that was where Chris really helped me with uploading documents rather than mailing them and waiting for mail to process. I also worked with Glenn but he went on Christmas vacation and I got a substitute. And I didn’t have as good an experience with anybody as I did with Chris.
The biggest issue I had was the underwriters. I had retired during this process and that slowed down the process. I retired from 40 years in education and had a really good credit score but those underwriters were still requesting information about when I would be paid in my retirement. It was underwriter's pride. I started the process on November the 30th and we originally thought it would close on December the 30th but we closed January the 30th. In getting a mortgage, you have to do your research and make sure that you get the mortgage company that you really want.

Due to pressure from my real estate last year, when I was closing, I had to take a different lender because of a mess of mistakes that they made. And the lender that I chose charged me PMI, so I was trying to refinance to get out of the PMI. I Googled, "compare lenders" and on the LendingTree website, AmeriSave came out cheaper on the different criteria that I was looking at. And when I Googled their consumer feedback, I saw more positive reviews than with other places. So I applied with them.
I filled up the website forms then Brian over at AmeriSave called me. He ran my credit and got some personal information and details about the house. He gave me an offer that was way better than what I was getting, but it turned out that I gave him the wrong information on a few things. Then, he gave me an offer that was still substantially better than what I was getting but not excessively better. He passed me over to a lady named Nikki, the closer, and she was the one who organized getting the appraisal and getting the bank documents.
Then, the appraisal list came out, they verified the value of my house, and Brian re-evaluated the mortgage based off of the information on the appraisal. They gave me documents to sign then I had to give them my employment records and all the normal stuff. In three weeks, a notary came to my office and got me to fill out the paperwork. Then I got an email the other day saying that everything is complete. All in all, the whole process took two and a half to three and a half weeks at the most which was much shorter than the first time I did it.
There was one small thing that was annoying to me about my employment verification. Apparently, my company switched to some weird verification system last year where you needed an employee key to verify employment. AmeriSave didn't know what my employer was asking for, so they explained it to me wrong. I called my HR department about it and they didn't know what I was talking about. Then AmeriSave called me back and asked for the status but I told them that I had no idea what they were talking about and it was really stressful trying to figure out what was going on.
Eventually, they called me back and gave me the correct number to call. When I called that number, they gave me some generic information to find my key. Basically, it was just my last name and a portion of my Social Security number. That was something that AmeriSave could have done better. If they called the number on my behalf, they would have been able to figure it out. But it was my employer that caused the whole employment verification thing and I'm annoyed with them more so than I am with AmeriSave. Everything else went pretty good.
The first time I talked to Brian, he was very enthusiastic and I could tell from the way that he answered my questions that he understood exactly what he was talking about and he has done it a million times. It felt very fluid and he told me when it was something that he could do or couldn't do instead of saying he'd call me back or suggest something else. So I didn't feel like I was getting jerked around like with a couple of other companies that I called. He was very cautiously giving me the worst-case-scenario and I always felt like I knew what were the worst things that could happen and that never happened. So, it gave me confidence that they were doing exactly what they should be doing the whole time.
Both Brian and Nikki were very comforting. Nikki was very good at pushing things along and wasn't afraid to call me when I needed things. When a document was needed, she didn't just email me and wait for me to respond. She would check in and would call me to let me know what she was looking for. So, I appreciated their enthusiasm. I'm very satisfied with my experience. They were professional all the way through and I didn't feel pressured or confused. It was also nice to know that they made sure I wasn't in the dark about things.
If you have plans of refinancing or doing a mortgage, go with AmeriSave. I got a friend right now who is looking to buy a house and I recommended AmeriSave to him. It was unfortunate that he has a buddy who works for a brokerage firm already, but I told him he might want to check AmeriSave and see if they can provide different numbers.

People started calling me and one of them sent me via email the contact information of Amerisave Mortgage, and so I decided to go with Amerisave. Once I decided to use Amerisave, I told them what kind of loan I wanted and they put the loan process in motion and set up the appraisal. From that point, I got some insurance stuff taken care of, but I didn’t have to do much. Amerisave got the ball rolling and sent me documents that I had to look over. They sent all these documents digitally and I was able to find them on my phone. I pulled these up on my phone, which I had on speaker mode, and the woman loan officer walked me through the documents as I went over them.
Overall, getting through the loan process was easy. I was very satisfied because, in the last couple of times that I've done this, the lending process was painful. With Amerisave, I had the appraisal within a week. Along the way, I was getting things from them and I had to review some documents on their website and sign something, and there were things that I did off and on for two or three weeks, but these were easy to do and didn’t take long. The reps that I worked with were very helpful, super easy to work with, and they were good about getting back to me. They also seemed good at what they did and knowledgeable, so that was good.
Obviously, I would've liked to have gotten a 0% interest rate, but aside from that, they gave me what I wanted and, other than somehow figuring out how to give me a low interest rate, I couldn't ask for anything else. I had a wonderful experience with Amerisave. I would send people their way and, actually, I've already tried to do this. The only thing that I'm curious about now is I've received an email about their selling the loan to another company and I've not received a bill.

I applied on LendingTree and then I was contacted by Brian from AmeriSave who walked me through the rates. I shopped around for a little bit making sure that that was the best rate I could get and then called him back and locked this loan. And then, everything else was done through their processes, uploading documents into their web portal and e-signing everything up to the final loan documents. The process was painless. All I had to do was gather what few documents they needed and they took care of everything else. They were the best rates out there that I could get, so I'm happy I got a 20-year instead of a 30-year term. The only thing I would ask is how to check my running mortgage balance or set up a payment.

AmeriSave Mortgage has no hidden fees. You can go online and look at all the numbers and the rates and closing cost and everything is playing out as it is supposed to. I've used them in the past. I was buying a new house and I called their number and told the guy what I was looking for. They sent me all the rights and then we just went forward from there.
I used them the first time because of the online process and that you can pull out various charts where there's a bunch of different insurance rates and the different closing cost. You can do it outside of work hours which is helpful. Their rep was very quick on getting back to me with answers through emails and phone calls. The only loose ends that I was confused on is now that we're actually coming to pay the first check I wasn’t sure how to pay the mortgage. I would like to do it online but there's a little bit of figuring out what the next steps are. You pay the first one by check and then the loan will get sold and then you'll be paying someone else.

I wanted to get a lower rate so I refinanced and Amerisave had the most competitive rate. I went with a 15-year fixed loan program. Their rates are pretty good considering that the rates have picked up three times in the last three weeks. It could have been better if I refinanced maybe two years ago. But it is what it is. The online application process was very easy. Amerisave's prompt responses helped me closed my loan. Someone always picked up when I called. And when it was an answering machine, I got a call back within an hour. I also got responses from emails fairly promptly. The website is clean so all the information is there. Our rep, David, was very responsive and accurate and succinct with his responses. He was so direct. I ask him a question, he responds. He doesn’t give me a full story. He only tells me what I need, and he supports it with website links so I could read for myself.

I went online and pulled up places to refinance my house, then a very nice representative of AmeriSave called me back and we went from there. He was honest with me, told me what was going to happen, how much the mortgage was, and never lied to me about one thing. The longer I talked with him, the more I liked him. He was a very friendly guy, we got along with each other, and we agreed on different things. I was very comfortable and I enjoyed working with him. It was great that he dealt with me like he did and I didn't have any confusion. I have done anything he asked me to do and everything has worked right out like clockwork.
While I didn't like doing the mortgage process online, it was the easier way to do their work. I'm an older person and I’m used to going to the bank and letting them do all the work. The application and underwriting process took about 4 weeks and everything couldn't work any smoother. They've done it the way they said they said they were going to do it. The rates and terms of the mortgage were very good and I had a 7% loan I got rid of. Everything was how I want it to be. AmeriSave is unlike some people who think all about the money and how much they're going to make off of us.

I've used Amerisave Mortgage in the past and it was seamless and simple. I wanted to refinance and I went with them again. The process has been much better than the last time and it's painless, more streamlined, and simpler to get docs in. It's straightforward and not a very challenging process. They asked for what they needed and I submitted it. We didn't have any issues along the way and we helped each other in that aspect. Everything was done electronically and the notary was sent out at the end and finalized all the docs. Also, Amerisave's rate is better than most. They helped me and I'm comfortable with them.
But I had one horror experience with them when they had some computer glitch. To take a different rate, there was a way to get cashback. And that cashback rate changed significantly. It was about a 35% difference and that was a negative aspect of it. They didn't tell me about it and I was the one who found it. I run a business, too, and I understand that mistakes happen. I would warn people about situations like that but I still would recommend Amerisave.

I thought rates were lower than when I originally took out the mortgage and I thought I can do better, so I decided to get a mortgage. I used a service wherein it puts your information out there to a lot of different providers. As soon as I hit the Submit button, the individual from AmeriSave called me right away. I got a 20-year fixed loan program. I gave her the information she was looking for and she sent that out to the underwriter. They’ve reviewed it. The underwriter got back to me, provided some more documentation and they sent it out to someone to go through the docs and all the signatures. The nice thing about it is I didn’t feel like it was very involved. It was very easy, straightforward and efficient. There wasn’t a lot I had to do on my part so that certainly appealed to me.
Also, their rate seems competitive. Although I didn’t spend a lot of time researching that. I took the individual’s word for it as she seemed sincere. I guess I could have spent more time researching whether that was in fact the lowest rate out there, but I felt like with as straightforward and easy as the process was, I wasn’t going to split hairs over a few points here and there. And so far, I haven’t seen anything come in in terms of mortgage payments, who I’m sending it, where I’m going to send, sending it, and the timing on sending it.

I was buying an investment home, and I got a regular 30 years investment loan from AmeriSave Mortgage. I did seven loans with them. They had my files, so I keep it the same. Their online application process was very transparent. Everything was up-to-date and there were no back and forth questions. It was clear and displayed on the screen so I knew exactly what I needed to submit and when I needed to submit it. Everything was processed through uploading the documents. So, the whole transaction was smooth and easy.
AmeriSave's customer service team was good and straightforward, and I was most impressed with their knowledge. However, they missed a couple of days on the closing dates, which was not their fault and probably was the third-party’s. But other than that, their rate and the terms were good.

For health reasons, I had to relocate to the West Coast and that meant leaving an apartment and buying a house for the first time. I did a lot of research online and AmeriSave was the one that worked the best because I was very comfortable with them. They took me through hoops, but I knew they had my best interest in mind.
Sometimes their application process appeared to be a little nitpicky which made it harder for me. For example, if they need to know that I had a certain amount of money in my account, they wanted me to submit a document but I had to do it by print-screen to facilitate the process quickly. My account number was on the page but all banks, for the consumers’ safety, don’t put names at the top of the page. If I go back to the main screen and print something that had my name on it with the same account number, AmeriSave should be able to put those two together and say that that confirmed that said money was in this account. But they didn't and still insisted on getting the information in the form that they wanted it.
If they could see two documents and match the numbers, why give the person who was applying for the mortgage all the grief of still supplying the document that they wanted? It’s hard for the applicants to get that, especially if they couldn't get out and get to a bank in person to ask the banker to help them to get a document. Little things like that make AmeriSave's process a little less pleasant and it was very stressful for me. I had to give them the same information over and over again. There should be an improvement on that, if not on AmeriSave's part, on their underwriters', and they should work together.
Other than that, I liked both of the reps I worked with, Dallas and Jordan. They seemed to work well together and if I couldn’t explain something to one, I could explain to the other, then they would talk to each other to get things straight to help me. In addition to that, I really liked the real estate agent that they recommended. She was outstanding and over the top. The rate that I got from them was also the best one for me. They were honest enough to tell me how to get it and helped me to problem solve in an area that I didn’t have that expertise. I’ve talked to my friends about AmeriSave with one caveat. I told them that AmeriSave's process would seem stressful and unnecessary, but at the end, it'd be worth it.

I used AmeriSave before when I did a refinance. It was a pretty smooth process and they had better rates. I used them again for a standard 25-year loan when I was buying a new house. I reached out to them and Rebecca, the rep I worked with before, came back. I explained to her what I needed and we went from there. It was easy to get the documents that was needed to them through their online application process. It was also easy to see what I was missing and keep track of what I needed to provide. I was originally going to be looking at a lower percentage, but the point to buy seemed extremely high at the time. So, I was surprised about how expensive the points were. But I probably wouldn't necessarily stick in this 25-year mortgage that long.
Other than that, I had a problem with the appraiser that they sent in. He wasn’t very satisfactory and delayed things for a week or so. That was the low point of it all. But Rebecca did as much as she could to help move things along and she stayed on top of things after hours. I started this at Thanksgiving holidays and I was traveling a lot. She let me know when she was going to be available, and that she would still be keeping an eye on things. So, I felt like it wasn’t the type of thing where it was on 8:00 to 5:00, and if something came up after that or over the weekend, there wouldn’t be any response. I felt like she was there to help make sure it got done. She was very responsive, too. Any questions I had, she could come back in, and talk about it. I recommend that people check them out.

I had a couple of properties I wanted to refinance. I looked into LendingTree, and then AmeriSave was one of the first who called me. They had better rates. It was what I was looking to do. They also had better overall - closing calls, etc. I went with two different loans with them, one was a 16-year, fixed rate loan and then a 20-year, fixed rate loan on an investment property.
The process was pretty simplistic. The first part was me reaching out to LendingTree, and then AmeriSave called me and I talked to Brandon. He led me through the process, and a lot of it was internet-based. It was kind of a check box, “skip this item, get this item” type of thing. Then once I had all my proof of income, it was about what the property was, and getting an appraisal done and seeing what the value of the house was, and then going over rates. The appraisal kind of controls the rate one is going to get, and I got a good rate. I got to choose what rate I wanted depending on what the closing cost was going to be. So, I could have paid more in closing if I wanted a better rate, and then I could have paid less in closing, and had a benefit if I chose a rate that was a little bit worse.
I am very impressed with the lending process, but I don’t like the after. I don’t like the sell-off. I don't like that I got to go to another bank, to another bank, to another bank. I closed on December 16th, and AmeriSave sold my mortgage off to AmeriHome. The biggest thing is, if you're not paying attention, you’re just kind of letting the payment draft, and then you don’t pay attention to this new mortgage company saying “Hey, you got to pay me”, and then you’re a month or two behind on payments. I just got a notification yesterday that my mortgage had been sold off. But I don’t have an account number with a new place. I don’t have any way to set up anything with making new payment arrangements yet, because they haven’t sent me a loan number or anything like that. I’d rather be sold off to Bank of America or Wells Fargo or Chase Bank or something bigger than these smaller servicing companies.
I still chose AmeriSave because I knew this was probably going to happen. Competitors actually uses this against AmeriSave as a sales tactic - “They may be cheaper, but you’re going to get sold off. With us you’re going to be able to stay. We’re going to hold your mortgage.” I could have gone somewhere else, like Quicken Loans. Quicken Loans was going to keep me, and I was going to have a solid mortgage service, so I didn’t have to worry about changing or changing where my payment goes. However, they were not saving me any money. Just because I was getting sold off, that didn't affect me beyond paperwork, so I wasn’t going to let that discourage me from going with AmeriSave versus Quicken Loans or another lending company.
It was a good experience with AmeriSave. Brandon and Megan were very attentive, on the spot, and reachable. They were personable and tried to get the best deal for me. They never pressured me to get things done. Megan was straightforward and told me what I needed to get. If I called her phone and had a question and she couldn’t answer it, she got the answer. I was impressed, and I will continue to do business with AmeriSave. I actually called Brandon yesterday about getting another mortgage.

They had numerous options and you decide yourself how much you want to pay like if you want to pay a closing cost or go for a lower rate but more pay upfront or high rates and no closing cost. So, having multiple options is a good thing.
I interacted with two reps, Nicky and Christina and both of them were wonderful, personal and it was a good communication which I like. Christina first took care of the initiation of the process. She guided me and had enough time to spend with me on the phone to submit the application and then followed up the stuff which was necessary to submit. It was a pleasant experience. There was a little bit of miscommunication about two items because I was away for a few days and then they kept asking about some additional things. I wish I had known that in advance before leaving.

Allan from Amerisave was the first person to call me back after I did the LendingTree application. He did it within probably less than 10 minutes. First impression is very useful and that was what really started the positive process out - the confident voice at the other end saying what they've got and that they could beat what I've got. The quick call was great and Allan spent the next two days with me, making sure I had submitted all the required paperwork. He was very responsive. I didn't wait more than 15 minutes for an email response or phone call reply. If ever it might have been an hour but that was very good. He did a fantastic job.
My LendingTree application was an insurance that I was getting the best deal possible. If I run aside six people and they're all saying about the same thing within a few hundred dollars and need some of the percentage point, then that's what the market is. But Amerisave blew me out of the water so much so that I thought it was bait and switch because it was three quarters of a point less in rate and fees than anything I'd seen out there. So, I wasn't confident initially that it was going to happen, but the number that they offered ended up being exactly what I closed on, and I was very impressed with Amerisave Mortgage.
The process with Amerisave wasn't quite as good as Quicken Mortgage where I had everything done on an iPhone in 30 minutes, but it was a close second. I had to fax or email one or two documents and the rest of it were things that I could find on my phone or iPad. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't painful on the paperwork process either.
Quicken could have done it in about 12 days and it ended up about 17 days with Amerisave. I had to wait to sign documents and all that stuff, but it was pretty good. Originally they said it could be three weeks to a little over a month but it ended up being just over two weeks, so I was impressed with that. What made me worry one time during the process was after I had submitted everything, I did not have a confident time frame when the underwriters would be back with me with the loan approval. At one-point when I asked, they said it could take 7 to 10 days for the IRS to respond and that was when I thought it was going to be a slow process. Giving more information of that stage in the game would be useful. But it only took less than 24 hours from the time I submitted everything saying I was approved which was really cool, and Amerisave ended up taking two and a half days which was also cool.
I like to get a response back that is acceptable and that happened with Amerisave so I am impressed with that. Allan had all the answers. He is a licensed mortgage broker which was a plus. He put up with me because I questioned the process a couple of times like there was no way it was too good of a deal. He tolerated that and was very friendly. I was asking questions that were probably disrespectful but he put me at ease that they were really cheaper and it was not bait and switch. The next guy who was coordinating with me through closing did a great job, too. Everyone was very friendly in the closing department. The process ended up going very well. It was great from start to finish. What Amerisave offered and what they delivered were exactly the same all along the way. It closed in the time frame and that was really confident and inspiring.

I always wish I could have gotten a little bit better but they were all phenomenal for the most part. The rate I had before was slightly lower than the rate that I refinanced for, but it was still worth it for me to switch over to do the debt consolidation.
The only complaint I would have is possibly my misunderstanding or their miscommunication. I had stated a couple of times that there were some payments that were going to be due around when we were closing and I had asked specifically if I needed to make the payments or that they would be taking care of closing. I was told they’d be taking care of closing. But it wasn’t really relayed to me that rather than paying off those other debts, that they would be sending the checks in the debtor’s name to me then I would have to forward that check to the debtor. My impression was that it was getting paid off. Fortunately, I went ahead and made a payment ahead of time anyway. Otherwise, I probably would have received a late fee from one of the creditors and have some interest tagged onto it and then I really would have been upset.

It let me know what the status was, what documents they needed and what documents they had for me. But I had a couple of issues uploading some documents so I sent them directly to Ryan and he took care of it.
AmeriSave also made available plenty of resources and had documents suggesting what to do and what not. It was up to me to use them or not. I did and I could see easily somebody going into it. I also did my extra research. Just thinking about the big deal that it is to buy a home and how scary that is to a lot of people, if people don't do their research, then they can miss stuff. Overall, I have no complaints. I was dealing with a seller who was anxious to close before the New Year and the process was very fast, about a month.
Congrats on your new home, Cristina! Thanks for the review.

AmeriSave Mortgage was the most attentive among other lenders and I got a good rate from them. Everything was done online and with a few phone calls, and the process went smooth for me. This wasn’t my first refinance, so I didn’t ask too many questions, but they explained everything and were easy to work with. The originator was Quintin and the loan officer was Michael who was easy to contact with.

I went on LendingTree when we were refinancing and AmeriSave Mortgage had the best rates and they were quick to email me back. They asked if we wanted to go on with the process and we said yes. The next day, they organized the appraiser to come but the appraiser took two weeks because she had a death in the family. We then closed after Christmas. AmeriSave was fast and the process was really easy.
We worked with two different people from customer service and they were very knowledgeable and quick to call back anytime we called them or they answer their phone when we call them. The email was really easy too. Anytime we had a question, they emailed us right back. The way that their website is set up, it was easy to see what they needed from us, what we needed to do for them and upload. It was really easy to navigate. There were a bunch online documents that we signed and then we had a person come to the house where we signed all the original documents and everyone was very kind, professional and organized.
We got 3.25 rate which Quicken couldn’t get us to unless we paid points. The term is 15-year which we were in a 30-year and we were on our 15th year. So we didn’t want to go back into a 30-year and it was fixed, which is awesome. That was exactly what we were looking for and they made it really easy. Other than the appraiser, everything else was really fast and the people that they seemed to be connected with on my local level were wonderful.

We looked at consolidating some debt and went with a traditional 15-year mortgage with AmeriSave. It was a refinance and their online application process was easy. Application and underwriting, from start to finish, took about less than three weeks. I started off with the initial guy with online filling out of forms, and another lady doing that a couple of days later. All interactions were positive and I was pleased with the rates, too. I got a reduction of about 1% in my mortgage rate. That worked out best for me. With AmeriSave, it was a pretty smooth and painless process. I didn’t really have to leave my house. I was able to do everything online and read stuff through email, fax, or text.

We were trying to see if we could lower our mortgage payment and get a better percent. One of my friends had a good experience with Amerisave and pointed me to them. Obtaining the mortgage went well. The process was painless, so it was great. Filling everything out was simple. They also helped me go through it if I had any questions in regards to the application. Anytime that I needed any assistance, the loan officer was there. They called back when they were not available at that time. It has been a long time since we've done the refinance of our house and this is one of the ones that really went smoothly. My wife and I were very satisfied with the experience. It was pleasant for a company to give us a really good rate, and the customer service was excellent.

My brother-in-law had refinanced with AmeriSave Mortgage a couple times and they had the lowest rate. I went through their process, which was straightforward in my case, and I sent them all the docs and my father's docs since he is a co-signer. Everything moved forward from there. During the application process, the 30-day escrow ended up taking much of the whole time. Also, there were a couple of docs that we needed from the HOA that they were late in sending and held the process up. It wasn’t AmeriSave’s fault at all. They could have closed our application earlier if they have gotten those docs. Other than that, the process worked out fine for me. Both the loan officer and the processor were really great and I was generally impressed by how responsive they were. They were both very helpful and friendly in a genuine way.
But in retrospect, there was another bank that I looked at and had spoken to and they would change the rate when it drops even if I already locked in. That wasn’t the case with AmeriSave. I got 3.87, which is a good rate, and a $1332 credit towards closing but that same 3.875 came with closing credits of over $3,000 within a week after I locked my rate. So it would have been very nice to have that other policy which makes a lot of sense to me and it could have saved me an extra couple thousands. Still, I'm happy with my experience with AmeriSave.

The initial person I spoke with at AmeriSave Mortgage was very transparent. He had my best interest in mind as we went through the program. The reps were very professional and straight to the point, too. We originally went through Lending Tree. Aside from AmeriSave, Quicken Loans and another provider popped up. I spoke to three different people. Quicken Loans could get me a better rate, but talking with our loan originator at AmeriSave, he brought up a really good point. I'll end up paying well, the rate might be better, and my payment will be a little lower because I'm going to paying for an insurance policy that I really don't need.
Even though the rates with AmeriSave was a little higher, he was correct. We would have saved a little bit on the payment, but our principal was higher because it would have been funding or financing our interest loan that I don't need. I was going to save money in the long run because I wasn’t financing a large principal. It was a selling point in going with AmeriSave. When our loan originator pointed that out, I was like,”Oh”. People are like, “This rate is better a lower rate is good. Lower equals better so I’m going with that”. That was true for a rate perspective, but in the whole portfolio, it wasn't the best thing.
It's a streamlined process and I really appreciate it. I was not stressed about it at all. I'm proficient with online forms, so the mortgage process was really simple because everything was online. Anything I needed to provide I have the ability to scan and send right away, so it was really simple. We’re also very organized people and got all our files digitized, so when Amerisave needed stuff, we have the information. It’s just a matter of getting it to them, and because of the online portal that they have, it was awesome.
There were moments I look at my wife going, "Why wasn’t your mortgage always like this?" In my original mortgage that I ever opened when I move to Chicago Land Area, there was a lot of, “I got the document but I have to print it out first." I then have to rescan it and fax it over when the person in the office so they can get a copy.” So, there was a lot of that. With Amerisave's portal, a lot of that was removed and smoothed out. It felt like a 21st-century mortgage. I recommended them to friends. I told them the same thing about the rate and also shared with them about the portal.

I was in a loan that I had just refinanced back in August. However, that loan had a 10-year window on it and I wasn’t comfortable because that's going to go by faster than I wanted to. I decided that if I can refinance and do it, then I’ll do it again. Also, I don’t know if the interest rates are going to be attractive in 10 years so I wanted to go 30 years with a fixed rate. I filled out an email for AmeriSave on a Saturday morning and within 15 minutes, their rep called me and we were on the phone for about 30 minutes. I got all the qualification part out of the way and he said that he'll send me an email on Monday morning and also between the call and then. He also said that he'll call on Monday and he did. I had the papers that he needed because I had already done it back in August so I forwarded everything to him which made it quicker. He called me back and talked about the cost and I got a very good rate.
I have people calling me left and right and all the other different people that have access to my online application but the AmeriSave's rep had already beaten them to the punch. He took the deal down and I was in sales for 20 years so I understood the value of what he was doing and I appreciated it. Also, other people call me with anywhere from $10,000 to $11,000 of closing cost but AmeriSave and I came in under $2,000 for everything. Other people were telling me there’s no way I got that and I said that I’ve got an underwriting from AmeriSave and if they don’t do it, I don’t have to sign.
I first dealt with Brad then he handed me off to Steve and they were great. They called me early and they stayed in contact with me. Every day, they walked me through the process and we got it done in two weeks. I’ve been buying properties for a long time and I’ve been doing a number of closings and this hit by far was the easiest. It was the first time I did it online and although it sounded too good to be true, it was really good. I was very pleased and happy with AmeriSave.

I got divorced recently, and refinancing was part of the settlement. When I went to LendingTree, I like the rates I could get with AmeriSave. Since I started there, I was ready to get this done quickly. Once I locked in the rate that I wanted with AmeriSave, I just kept going forward. I went through the whole application process, which took a while. Once I submitted it, I got an email from AmeriSave, guiding me through the next steps and telling me what I would need as far as documentation to upload to the site. That was important for me because I work, and I have a digital copy of everything. So, I wasn't having to run around and fax stuff, which takes a little bit of time. That would have been a pain. I just started uploading the information, and they eventually said that my rate was locked. They then did whatever they needed to do on their site with my information. We changed a few things along the way, but other than that, it was pretty straightforward.
The underwriting process took less than a month and I am very happy with it - it would have taken less than that if I had not decided to change my cash out option, which took maybe another week or so, though.

Avoid AmeriSave at all cost and find another lender. I applied for a loan with them at the beginning of October, did not close until December 15th, and the experience is horrible. I did a new home purchase and the bank that I was going to use have some strict guidelines. I had gone through a short sale about three years ago and they had a four year waiting period. So, I went online and AmeriSave was the first one that called me. My very first question before I started the loan application was if the loan can all be started until after the three-year period or if the closing has to occur after the three-year period. I was told that closing had to occur after the three-year period but it was not the case. I went through the entire process to find out that everything had to be canceled and I had to reapply for a loan after the three-year mark.
I already had a house that I had put an offer on but the closing date got moved five times. It’s a miracle that the seller did not throw up his hands and said that the house will be put back on the market. AmeriSave promised me $500 because they continued to make mistakes throughout the process. I was told and actually have it in an email that I would get money towards closing cost. Then I ended up having to fight for it because they claimed that it was not something they ever told me.
Also, when I reapplied for the loan, they assigned the same loan number which had been rejected the first time because it was prior to the three-year period. That was already around the holidays and it was a nightmare. If anything could have gone wrong, it did. They didn’t realize that until we went to have an appraisal scheduled. Someone noticed that it was the same loan number and that it needed to be a new case number or loan number if we wanted it to go through. That took another couple of days to happen. And that was all around the time when AmeriSave told me to tell the seller that I could close and so, that was the date that I used the third time to close. But because of their mistake with the loan number, it had to get moved again.
All in all, the representatives were telling me good information but in the end, I couldn’t trust anything that they were saying. For a period I thought that they’re going to fix it but I have to control everything in the end. I was constantly on the phone and sending emails to make sure that things has been done. The case is with both the person who is assigned to the loan and the person that I did the loan application with. I would hope that AmeriSave would educate their people. I would much rather be told that they don’t know the answer and they'll get it for me or get somebody who does than tell me a wrong answer.

My loan processor and agent didn’t give me a good APR. It was too high. So she sent me to check the computer and when I did that, I looked at AmeriSave. They had a very competitive rate and their webpage explained their different programs. It was very accurate about the monthly and I liked that. Their process was very smooth, too. This is the second time I'm doing refinancing and the last time I did it was frustrating for me. Every time I tried to do something on one moment, I tried to quit because the other company was asking for too much docs. So I was surprised when the guys from AmeriSave didn’t ask me for too much papers. Everything was on the computer and I didn’t submit the taxes and statements. I don’t know what they did exactly with my bank information and how they controlled everything, but I was very happy because they gave me whatever they promised.
I was also surprised that the numbers didn’t change too much with AmeriSave. Whatever numbers I have and saw in the computer were very close, though a lot of things are different with my house now since I have stuff like the solar panels that were not accounted for. Their guys, Daniel and Mike, were very good, always listened to me and were very patient. There was no pressure and it was a better experience than the one I had before. When I applied for a mortgage in the past, anytime when the notary came to our home with the papers to sign, the numbers were not right. I had to call their guys and tell them it was not the correct number, then they'd tell me to just sign and they'd send me the right numbers. But this time with AmeriSave, everything was matching. I had the right numbers and whatever we agreed on was there with no changes. So I was very happy.
I'd recommend AmeriSave when I have a chance to help somebody to do better. In fact, I’ve been talking with my sister-in-law about it because she has the same problems. Like me, she has the PMI on the loan and the reason why I tried to refinance was to reduce the PMI. So I gave her all their information and told her about my experience. But she hasn't called them yet and I don't know why. Initially, I was scared to do something like that by phone and through the web because sometimes when you are trying to refinance, you want to see the guy, sit down on the desk, talk to the guy, and check the numbers in front of him. That’s probably my sister-in-law is a little worried about that. But it was a very easy experience for me and if I had to do it again through the same company, I would.

Went to a couple local banks and the rates were higher than I thought they should be, so I went online and looked at a couple, talked to five more seriously, knocked it down to two and then picked AmeriSave. They gave me a closing reimbursable of $870. They didn't need me to pay for an assessment 'cause they were fine with it. The loan amount was small compared to the value, and that made the cost of converting a small premium.
I gave AmeriSave my bank accounts, and they looked at what was in them. I also gave them what I thought was a property value, plus I gave them my income for the past three years. A week later, they said, "We got what we need. When do you want to go to closing?" I went to closing two or three weeks after that. I happened to be in California on vacation the week they wanted to do it, and they sent a notary out to the hotel I was staying at. We closed there in about an hour, and it went very well. I had a relatively low percent of value which was under 50% of the loan, so I'm an extremely low risk lender/borrower. So, they made it easy for me.

They were the most flexible and we got the rates that we were looking for, even though the rates had been moving up ever since we started the process. We still got the same rate as we had before the vacation period.
Our original mortgage was with Wells Fargo, which was an absolute disaster when it came to delays and requirements. We don’t mind providing unnecessary documents as we need time if they ask for them.

The application and underwriting process took around 45 days, and everything was done the right way. Everybody was eager, on top of everything, and had the information that I needed. They have been responsive too.
The rate offered was very competitive for what I wanted. What I like about the company is that there is a very wide-ranging choice that you can make depending on what your needs are and what your goals are. So, you can pay up the extra points and sort of pay down the loan, or you can have a slightly higher interest rate. My son didn't have any trouble, and I didn't have any trouble too. I would recommend them.

Getting a mortgage with AmeriSave was internet and e-mail-based. We talked on the phone a little bit as well but it was all remote. I went to their website, put in some information to get some quotes, and then someone contacted me. And then once we got a house, we were able to give all the information through e-mail and their website. Their website was secure and seemed okay. It showed the status of each piece of information like whether it was reviewed or not so it was useful. They got the process done within 17 days. And it was timely since it was a short close. I gave the information when they asked for it. And usually, within 24 to 36 hours, they processed everything well. I was worrying about it, too, but everything came out efficient. The rate and terms were straightforward. They gave me the options and I knew what I was getting. Working with AmeriSave was easy overall.

I did a refi with AmeriSave Mortgage. I did a LendingTree thing and AmeriSave was the first one that answered and it was late at night. It was a super-easy and straightforward refi. The customer service rep that I had was awesome. She was on top of everything. She didn’t let anything fall through the cracks and she sent me reminders about paperwork that was missing. The application and the underwriting process was super-simple, and that’s really why I didn’t do any other shopping because I thought that it was that easy. My experience was good. They did a ton of their process electronically, which was nice. I probably had 40 emails from them during the process, so communication was great. We did the signing at our house with their agent.

AmeriSave sold our mortgage off a month prior to us going back to them for a refinance. Andrew did a good job with the previous one, so I went back to him. I filled out the online application, and if there was anything that was missing or needed additional information, Andrew pretty much got back with me within a day. He followed up on directing me through any specific questions I didn't understand, or any documents that I might not have understood as far as how to get them and how we could help to get the information that he needed. He offered his suggestions or input when I wasn't sure on the length of the term to proceed with.
If there were any delays, sometimes it was more on my end than on theirs. They were almost immediately responsive, many times the same day. I got an online update, such as "Thank you, we've received this." I could log onto their site and see what was pending, what was processed, what they still needed. There was a checklist that I could refer to. AmeriSave did a good job. They did everything I was looking for.

I was purchasing a house then. I researched and I had two coworkers that had used AmeriSave Mortgage and were pretty happy with them so I went with them. Being a first time home buyer, their process was good. Everything went smoothly and everything was easily available on the customer portal, which was good. Every once in a while, there was a little bit of a very small disconnect between the underwriters and the agents I was dealing with, but if there were issues, the agent got it cleared up really quick, so I’m very happy with the agents. I like that their agents would call me right away whenever anything changed, or if there was any information I needed to know. Also, I was able to call their office directly and talk to them during regular business hours, and if I left a message, they would call me first thing in the morning if it was after-hours. So their reps were definitely good on the communication side.
As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea as to the amount of stuff I needed to get like notarized, or collected, whether it would be three years of tax returns. They had to verify where I was staying, and rent, and the fact that I’m an employee of a family-owned business, and so, with my dad being the boss, had to send in a letter saying that I didn’t own any portion of the company. There should be a checklist for first time home buyers and tell them, “Hey, you’re going to need...so you better be prepared.” They also need to be a bit upfront on the time too.

I have been looking at reviews on mortgage companies in comparison sites like ConsumerAffairs, and picked out a shortlist of four companies. I then started speaking more in depth, and AmeriSave seemed to be the most honest, and they also had the best rates. Never having done a mortgage before, the process went smoother than we expected. We reached out, and AmeriSave people came back to us and they were very helpful at every step. They let us know, then we gave them what we needed, and then we got the mortgage. The guys from AmeriSave that we were dealing with were very attentive and were always happy to pick up the phone and explain things to us. They taught us a lot about the processes we were going through. We were very comfortable working with Leon, our loan officer. He handled it exactly the way I would want it to be handled.
There are so many times when you’re dealing with this and you feel like you’re being withheld information. But it’s not because you’re actually being withheld information. Instead, it is because you don’t understand everything about it. But AmeriSave went that extra mile to make sure that we understood what was happening at every stage. The loan went through within five weeks, although by the end of the third week, we were ready to close and they went away and had a couple of days’ breathing room on the other side to transfer money. It probably could have been done quicker because we were on vacation. When we were closing, the person closing said that they haven’t seen a rate that low in the last few months. Everyone we know, like our realtor, said that it was a good rate. So, we’re happy with that.

AmeriSave was one of the first ones who called me. I checked around and their rates were better than anybody's. The process of getting the mortgage was pretty simple. Most of it was done over the phone because it was a refinance. Once all the criteria were met, the gentleman from the title company came to the house, and filled out the paperwork. The online was pretty good for the refinance. It was a lot easier. The application and underwriting process only took a couple of weeks.
Everything was spot on on and was done in a timely manner. We dealt with two Amerisave representatives and they were both great on the phone. They were very helpful, knowledgeable and very personable. It's a good company. I would recommend them to anybody. They're easy to trust.

I refinanced my home without the second mortgage. Amerisave came and said, "Well, you'd be better off if we do your home, and your second mortgage." They calculated in advance, accounting for the escrow that I already had in the bank I was refinancing with, so they made enough money available at that point in time that they could pay the escrow themselves and I would collect later on. I liked that part where they advised me. Getting approved was a little confusing at times and I wasn't quite sure about what to do next as it was not really obvious. There was lack of print and sometimes they had been so small that I just don't see them. At a point I wasn't sure what was going to happen next and what to do next, the girls, and also the rep, were good. I could always call them and they'd give me the straight answer. I kept going in, and I eventually did the right thing and figured it out. Other than that, it was fairly easy. I was very pleased with it
My rate was a little bit high at 20%. Terms are okay except for one thing: they say, "Well, you can direct withdrawal up until the 10th." But my payment on my home comes in on the 14th of the month. So, they couldn't take me, and I like to do direct withdrawal. I would like to always set it up on the 14th, but they said we can't do that. It's either the 1st or anywhere between the 1st and the 10th. Nevertheless, I enjoyed AmeriSave. I knew that they were going to sell my mortgage, and they did sell it to AmeriHome. Then of course, AmeriHome really sold it to FHA, which is going to use AmeriHome as an administrator. It's basically AmeriHome and AmeriSave that have that. Pay it on the first, or give you 10 days, but you've got a 16-day window, so I may take advantage of that. I appreciate it.

They’re one of the best in the business and they will really love you to get a loan on your terms.

AmeriSave had cheap pricing and I knew I could get a hold of Darla, who I've had some dealings with in the past. I’ve always had good experience with how she handles herself professionally.

I looked into a refinance when my ARM was coming due. I went through LendingTree and they gave me a bunch of different lending providers. AmeriSave seemed on the ball with me, so I decided to go with them. The refinance process was easygoing. I dealt with Travis and he guided me through the process and sent me all the forms. I uploaded the documents or emailed these to him. I signed the forms that were emailed to me, scanned these, and sent these back to him. I also supplied electronic signatures for the online forms. I was impressed that the rep followed through and got right back to me. I liked the way he took care of things. The process went very smoothly and there were not too many questions. I’d tell a friend who might ask me about my experience with AmeriSave to give them a try.

My wife passed away this year. We had life insurance and I was paying down the mortgage and getting a 15-year rate. I wanted to get something before the rates went up. I wanted to take the 15- year loan and make it a 10-year loan. But I made a mistake of putting out something on the web as I was looking to refinance because I got overwhelmed by phone calls. That was a mistake. I interacted with three or four lenders and Amerisave had the best rate. I really liked their online process, it was smooth so I refinanced with them. I was also trying to work with a local bank and if I had waited a lot longer, they probably would have matched the Amerisave rate.
The closing was very simple, which I liked. However, there was a complication with the closing in terms of the communication with Wells Fargo Mortgage. There were discrepancies about what the actual payout amounts and I ended up overpaying but I finally got those checks back. It got a little messy there at the time but the people that I worked with in Amerisave were great.

I have used AmeriSave before and I had a good experience. I got a mortgage from them that I've used to buy a new house. Their online application process was easy. This time around, it got a little bit more seamlessly. I had no concerns about the closing date but I didn't know if I was going to close until the closing date. It was much more stressful because we were closing on my house. The goal was to close on one and move in the other on the same day. I would have been homeless.
However, my realtor got involved and it happened, so I'm pleased. The ladies at AmeriSave worked hard to ensure that and it did happen. I know there were three ladies that I was working with. Rebecca was the first person I initially dealt with and I have worked with her for three months. Once everything was initially approved, I started dealing a little bit more with someone else because she was in charge of getting all the required documents necessary for the underwriter. One called me at 8:00 at night. I know she was working long hours just to make sure she had everything that she needed to get it approved. I occasionally heard from someone else if either one of them were unavailable. I hope I don't have to move ever again but if I have to do it again, I would put them to use again.

I bought a house. When I answered my phone, there was a number that I didn't recognize. He told me who he was, what he was doing and gave me a little bit of information. He said he could save me about $2500 on my closing costs and I said, "Okay." He did my credit check and he gave me pre-qualifying letters too. I found the house that I was interested in that I could give to AmeriSave to let them know I was serious and pre-qualified. It took about two months and I was selling the house on the flipside, as well as out-of-state. I had relocated due to a job so I had to sell that one first.
I talked with AmeriSave representative and said that everything that I would make on the house that I was selling, I wanted to roll over at the down payment and go to all my closing costs so I didn't have to deal with anything upon closing a new house with them. I ended up taking home about $10,000. I would have preferred to go on the mortgage so my loan was less. I went through AmeriSave Mortgage application process with the person that I spoke with. After that, I went in and just put in the numbers that I was estimating and to see what my mortgage rate was before I actually locked in a rate.
Their rep was very accommodating and patient with me. I actually ended up changing my mind on the type of loan I wanted and was able to change that, and still, at the rate that I was looking for or had locked in. He was great and the rate was fine. The process was like 'hurry up and locked in the rate' and after I did it, it went down. But I still got a reasonable rate and nobody can foresee that so I understand. And the rep wanted to make sure that we're trying to get the best rate.
Under these circumstances, AmeriSave should clarify what the loan amount is before they do the final loan. They were saying that I had estimated and that I wanted my loan to be $240,000 when I wasn't really sure how much I would be making from the closing costs on the other house. So far, my loan has been completed and now I have to pay taxes. Nonetheless, I would recommend AmeriSave to a friend.

Unfortunately I actually found Amerisave on consumeraffairs.com where it had good reviews. I am a millennial and knew better than to trust the word of one website - this time it bit me in the butt. Use them at your own risk. You will ALWAYS receive a quote that is less than average... Why do you think that is? The devil is in the details. They are a bait and switch scheme. They take your credit card info stating that it is necessary to "lock" your rate in and setup an account with the appraisal company. That is NOT industry practice, and the appraisal company they use, Novo, is not only affiliated but owned by the same person Patrick Markert.
Luckily I learned a few things before dropping out of law school, so I only dealt with these people via email to have it all in writing. They charged my credit card for the appraisal, and did not comply with the "hold" promise they made. I have emails detailing that I did NOT want an appraisal ordered until I did my personal inspections on the property. Mark ** (loan officer) promised it wouldn't be done. Lo and behold, they lied. So I asked for a refund, I have emails promising a refund - lo and behold they lied again. Then the funniest part is they have a guy named Matt ** call me - like sending a goofy monkey to do damage control. The guy dripped used car salesman stench through the phone, it's funny how worked up liars and thieves become when they know they are wrong and backed into a corner, so I hung up.
Yesterday I filed a complaint with the feds (CFPB) who by the way found them guilty of ILLEGAL bait and switch tactics less than 36 months ago when they were fined $19 mil - consumerfinance.gov/about. I also called the state they are licensed in, Georgia Dept of Banking & Finance and filed another complaint. Then for good measure I called the state of California Dept of Business oversight (since I live in CA) and filed a complaint with them as well. Lastly, I sent all the emails and evidence of the bait and switch scam to American Express and requested a charge back. Between all this, I expect I will get my money back.

Dealing with AmeriSave Mortgage wasn’t the easiest process. After I had gotten into it with them I didn’t do my homework that I should have did on the front end. But they were very reliable and I had good success with them. When I did check their reporting they’re not a member of the Better Business Bureau but they were a member of ConsumerAffairs and there was a lot of negative reports on them.
We got conventional FHA with them and the application was easy. But I don’t think I will recommend them to anyone. It took right around 35 days. But part of that was because I had a vacation planned. So we had to schedule closing when I came back from vacation. This wasn’t the first time I have ever done a refi. They didn’t do anything special except there was a mistake made on my closing documents.
There wasn’t a penalty but there was going to be some money due for me out of pocket because of some mistake that their person that was doing the data entry made. And they covered that cost. I thought that was good but it wasn’t a whole lot of money. They do everything online. Documents are loaded online. You talk to somebody if you see a problem but when you see it online, you see it before they have a chance to react and I didn’t know that. There was some human contact by phone but I think they rely too heavily online. They need to work on actual customer service and stop relying so heavily on their online portal. I picked the rate but I think the closing cost was a bit high. But I guess, whoever you use, it’s going to fluctuate anyway. They sold my loan like immediately or they transferred it to a servicing company which also has poor ratings. But if it don’t work out, I know how to do it again.

I did the application over the internet and their process worked for me. I already owned the home, so I was just refinancing for equity that was mine, and I paid off the loan that I had prior. It was easy and the total application and underwriting process took three weeks. The only little niche I had was at the end, when it was time for them to give me the check, the company didn’t have the check from the lawyer that came to my house that Saturday, so I had to wait for an extra day. That process should’ve been a little bit more better expedited. The lawyer didn’t do his part as fast as he should've and told me it was because it was a holiday. It was around Thanksgiving. But I applied on November 6 and by November 30, I received the check.
Other than that, my agent had a good rapport in the way he spoke to me, and how he would walk me through any questions that I had. He was always available and if I called him, he’d call me back in five to 10 minutes. He was great and so was the underwriter. They did a good job. I wish the terms of my mortgage could’ve been a little lower, but I really didn’t have a problem with it. If people asked me about AmeriSave, I would give them the name of the man that worked with me. I would tell them to try to contact him and that he would give them information.

My brother-in-law uses Amerisave with their mortgage so I got a quote from them too for a home I just purchased. They gave me a quote on the cost of the loan, the interest rate, the fees, and I got several other at the same time and I ended up choosing Amerisave and from that point on my interaction with their rep was all by phone calls and emails with the information they needed to fill out the application.
Everything happened really fast. Originally, I was going to go with multiple parties on the loan until I got up here because I moved out of state. I didn’t have all the funds available for my down payment to be that quick of an escrow but as the process went on, my house that I currently own was sold so I was able to flip everything over to just me solo on the loan and they made it very easy for that to happen. We went through the process in 17 days and finished.
I was completely surprised that we closed that fast and so everything happened as I expected. I had a couple of different people that I work with. One of them ended up going on travel so I worked with another individual and they kept the ball rolling as best they could. The experience was all seamless for the most part. They were very responsive to my phone calls and emails.
There might have been once or twice during the process where I might have wanted information quicker but I can’t honestly discredit anything they did. I know it was a very short time frame and I’m not the only person they were dealing with. I’m happy with the overall rate and all the fees that were involved. As far as I’m concerned, I made the best choice.

I needed to get a loan done in a very short amount of time, and we got it done real quick. That was because Amerisave made sure it got done. I also liked that with Amerisave, you can buy your way to a better rate or take a lower rate and you have cash up front. Those are some of the good options that Amerisave has that I have never seen. The little banks where I live didn't offer options like adjusting the mortgage rate. However, this was the first house that I bought and there was an area where it wasn't too clear.

She needed to leave and she switched me over to my cell phone and to her cellphone and did it while she was private. She was very good.
However, I'm still very mixed about this. The lady who was the secondary contact nearly drove me to point where I wanted to tell Amerisave to go fly a kite. She was not listening. She paid absolutely no attention and she was threatening. She was so inept. I make plenty of money to qualify for this loan so Kelly and I talked about what the scenario was. We talked about how it was supposed to go. I went in on that Saturday and faxed her every document she needed for the loan. She and I talked at 8:30, by 11:30 I went to work because some of the documents were at work. I faxed her everything. There was not a single item missing except for the homeowners association. And she was going to take care of that.
And then, this other chic got involved and it’s been so out of control. And then said, “Well, I guess you don't want the loan very much if you're not going to provide me your son's financials. So I told her, “You know what? I don't like your attitude. Don't ever contact me again. You can tell Kelly to call me." I told Kelly, if the other lady would call me ever again, I would cancel. I'd rather not refinance than deal with a nasty person.
Even though she was told not to contact me, she did it again. Kelly and I and the person who came to the house for closing had already talked about when and where it was all happening, Saturday morning. And then this chic called me and said it couldn't happen. She contacted the company. It had to be during the week and during the day. She was completely disconnected from what was going on with this loan. She wouldn't quit calling no matter how many times I told her. I was just going to drop the loan at that point. But overall, Amerisave did a super job. They were speedy and they listened.

AmeriSave was the first one to contact me and I felt comfortable dealing with their rep Andrew. He did a wonderful job, did what he said he'd do and followed up on things. He really tried to get things going. But I was very disappointed and it was not necessarily his fault. I asked if AmeriSave would be the lender of my loan and the way we had the conversation, I understood that my lender would be AmeriSave. In my last two refinance, it was with loanDepot and I stayed with them because they financed the loan and stayed with the loan. I just don't like to be thrown around between lenders. I liked dealing with loanDepot and I assumed that this was going to be the case when Andrew stressed that AmeriSave financed their own loans.
But on the day of closing and the notary showed up, I immediately got a letter showing that my loan was being sold off to Wells Fargo which I am not a fan of. I've had them before on my very first loan in the '90s and I didn't really care about their service that much. I'm now giving money to a bank that I don't like at all and that pisses me off. I felt like an old house that got flipped and like a customer who was told, "Thank you very much. See you later." That sucks as a customer to feel that way so I don't really appreciate that at all. The other gentleman I dealt with was Michael and he was nice. From a procedural point of view, he did well what he needed to do, did everything that I asked for and he followed up. Unlike Andrew though, I didn't feel the love as a customer. Andrew really cared but with Michael, I felt I was just a number, a quota.

I wanted to get a refinancing to get some cash out to consolidate some debt. I called Amerisave Mortgage and their rep gathered a lot of information about me and our home, our financial situation, what we were looking for, and then followed that up with emails. He got me access to the website where I found the forms that I needed to e-sign. Then we got the appraisal done, which was arranged mainly online and we paid that. We talked to a mortgage expert and started the process of going through all the forms online.
However, the website was confusing at first. But once I finally got the hang of it, it wasn’t so bad. There were frequent requests for information and I provided all that. I got to a point where I had checked off all the boxes. Then there was one glitch where they needed more photos of the house and grounds. Eventually, they submitted it to underwriting and let us know that it had been approved and we set up the closing. But we spent a long time here at the house signing the same forms we had e-signed online. If we're going to sign on paper, they should give it ahead so we have a chance to review it beforehand. Shortly thereafter, we received the funds.
You see all these ads on television and online saying, “You are approved. And it’ll take days. And we can do it on the phone.” None of that is ever true. It always takes weeks and that hasn’t changed. It’s a real hassle but it was nothing I didn’t expect. It could’ve been a better rate though. But it is what it is. Still, it’s better than the one I had. We got what we wanted and it was a positive experience overall. Plus, their reps were great, polite, patient and respectful.

I looked up a whole bunch of different mortgage companies. Amerisave had a few reviews that were saying they didn't get their credit so I was concerned about that. And I didn't have a problem with it. Amerisave gave us the best rate out of everyone. Quicken Loans was the first one I called and they ended up being the most expensive out of everyone we talked to. Also, all the banks wanted me to write a timeline with details of every single thing in my past history. And Amerisave just looked at everything and said, “Oh, yeah you guys are good.” It was just really easy.
The hardest part was understanding all of the legal stuff and how the rates actually work. So, it was nice to have people explain it to you as supposed to just trying to read it online. The reps made themselves available and gave their personal cell phone numbers. I could call them after hours. For working people you simply can't get anything done during the week because by the time you get off work and commute home, banks are all closed. That's another reason why we went with Amerisave. We had gone to two local banks and a local credit union, but I couldn't keep in touch with them because they were always closed.
Also, almost every single one whom we spoke to including Amerisave, there were problems communicating through email. And it seems like people don't read through your entire email or they don't answer every question on how much. I started numbering every question so that they have to respond to the numbers. If you have a sentence with three questions in it, they'll just answer one of them.
But I was pretty happy with the rate that Amerisave gave. Even after you locked in it, you have a certain amount of time that doesn't change the rate for you. In your favor, the rates go down after you lock it in. So, that's a good thing. But for consumers, it's like you're making a gamble when you lock your rate in. You're taking this huge gamble that could cost you thousands and thousands of dollars over the course of the mortgage. And you have no idea what the market's going to do next week.

I was refinancing and AmeriSave was one of the early people that I talked to and I just had a feeling of comfort working with them. I liked that when I called, I could talk to them. The application process was pretty much routine. I went over the rates and then the thing that was different about it, from any time I've done this before, was the uploading of the documents which was fairly easy. I worked with a gentleman at first and then once I started with the paperwork process, I then worked with Nikki and she was very helpful. My process was a little bit weird and they had a little bit of trouble understanding it but Nikki managed to slog through it.

I got a new mortgage from Amerisave. There was some competition with my own bank that I’ve been with for 25 years at least. I had two criteria for options: one is interest rate that I found acceptable, and, number two, a top-rated company. So, I looked online for the top 10, and Amerisave was there. It was close to probably within the top five. And then it came down to interest rate and my bank couldn’t get where I wanted to be. I didn’t want to pay down the interest rate to get too low. I was happy with 3.5, but my bank could only go 3.75. And they couldn’t go up or down like Amerisave could. You could go up or down based on how much money you put down. I don’t know how long I’m going to be in the house so I didn’t want to get stuck in a Catch-22. I’m moving four years, I got a better interest rate but I lost so much money, so it was time to make any difference.
The online application process was not easy. But since I’m a retired military officer, I understand paperwork. If it was a regular loan, it would have been easier. But my calls is VA, and VA is like out of their freaking mind with a lot of stuff. And I learned a valuable lesson that because was I putting a lot of money down and the money was spread out over investments and I didn’t realize it had to be sitting there for 60 days so I didn’t have to show so many different bank statements. However, every time I put in my bank, it didn’t give me anything. Any credit union I put in there, didn’t give me anything. It was like, “This is absolutely broken.” So, I had to do everything manually. And sometimes, I worked with two people.
One, the initial guy and then two, a young lady that they handed off the loan process to. The first guy was great and he got everything going. He also kept in touch with me really well. On the other hand, sometimes the lady would forget to tell me the little things where I had to go back basically to my credit union and get more paperwork which is a little aggravating. So, it wasn’t the smoothest set of circumstances I’ve ever been in. But I don’t know how much of the company’s fault versus the VA application’s fault, but I think they did pretty well in settling everything. She still did a pretty good job.
Once, however, all of a sudden, she gave me a line in the sand and said, “Everything’s got up in the end by this Thursday or you’re not going to close on the 20th.” And I’m going, “So now, I’m under the gun to get the last bits of paperwork.” So, I don’t know how well they trained people. It’s hard to say this is personally your fault or this is the company’s fault. But it got a little bit hectic for me at the end and I probably was a little stern with her asking, “Tell me everything that I need before I walk in there.” She would say, “You need a copy of this paper.” She needed to tell me what needed to be on the paper because every bank is different and our bank does not show even the account number. They had to go in and specifically make a special piece of paper that shows the last four digits of the account number, which would be more technical because not every bank or credit union is the same.
I eventually said, “If you all have been in business for years, you should already know this.” We don’t run back and forth to the credit union all day, and this loan is getting ridiculous. So, it got painful in the last week. I can’t give them super high marks but we got through it. It was a long process, but most of the time things went pretty well and I can’t fault them for a few hiccups.

I went through LendingTree and Bryan from Amerisave was the first one to reach out. I liked him from the get go. He was very non-intimidating and non-pushy. He seemed like an honest person and he was easy to talk to. He walked me through the whole process. He asked me the questions regarding my income and my credit. He showed me how I could put in what I though my credit was anywhere from excellent, good, fair, poor, and then look at the difference options and what rates I could have. It didn't leave any surprises for me which I liked. We went through all of that and I completed all the paperwork online and they took it from there. They got all the income verification and all the stuff that they needed such as driver's licenses, etc.
The process was no more than a week. They were hoping I would close at the beginning of November and I ended up closing at the end of October. I'd probably get Amerisave whenever I need a mortgage. It was a good experience all the way around and I was happy with the rate that I got. Had I spent weeks I might have been able to get a little bit lower rate. But I wasn't in that place to spend weeks and weeks and weeks doing it. I knew what I wanted to accomplish which was to try to lower my monthly payment and drop my PMI insurance. In the end my rate was pretty good and I don't think an extra half a point would have been worth all the hassle of dealing with multiple people.

I wanted to consolidate some debt and I wanted to refinance. Amerisave was one of the first to contact me after I used LendingTree and they were the only one that contacted me that seemed very professional and upfront. The others were very much salesman type contacts but the guy that contacted me from Amerisave was not like that at all. He was very thorough as far as making sure he answered all my questions. Then he handed me off to the person that was responsible for gathering all the documentation and getting everything closed out. She also did a great job. She was very attentive, answered all my questions, and got back to me quickly.
Their process was fast and went really well. From day one, they started pooling information they needed such as my credit report. Then they set up the appraisal and once the appraisal came in and we knew exactly how much I was going to borrow, they got the papers ready and got the closing set up as quickly as possible. From the first day that they contacted me to closing, the whole process took just about a month. It could have been quicker but I had to put off the closing for a few days because I was out of town for work. I would recommend them as an option and tell others that they're someone that is competitive with the rates, quick with closing the loan, and responsive.

Then they needed to do an appraisal and the whole process took almost a month. I also had an almost high interest rate and AmeriSave changed the terms. I'm pretty satisfied with them compared with the big bank. If I go to Wells Fargo, it’s going to be a long process and I'll have all kinds of issues. But with AmeriSave, it's better.

My husband’ who is totally disabled has supplemental insurance that went from $276 a month to $500 a month because he’s 62 and not 65. So, how am I going to make up that extra $200 and $300 a month when we can’t even make it on what we get a month? So I refinanced with AmeriSave just to get a lower note. The Amerisave guy called me and he sounded really nice. I told him that I needed to save $200 a month real quick. It says in all the ads they’re getting back $4,682 checks but we didn’t qualify for some reason.
Their online application was a bit tough for me because I’m not really a computer literate. Their rep tried to walk me through it but I got my husband in there instead to take care of it the best he could. There were some things that I got a little upset about, but it was mostly how they were going to get my MIP off of my account. I wanted 4.00% and he gave me 4.25%, which is what we had in the house. I could have paid the interest that they stuck me with at closing cost but they didn’t stick me with any closing cost. I got $242 back. They were very helpful in that respect. That’ll help me pay for my appraisal. But they did add in my taxes that are due in February in escrow, and that’s why they added some back to my amount. I was down to $107,700 something, and Wells Fargo said $108,000 something. So, they had to go by what Wells Fargo tells them. Some were the interest for November when in fact we closed on November 24.
It was not a bad situation, and he did succeed in helping me get $200 a month until my husband gets 65, and that’s what we were after. However, I would like the note even lower. I could have sold our house for $150,000, and I really wanted to, but then my husband wants to stay in the house. Their rep was awesome. He really was patient with us because I’m 71 and my husband is already 62 but he has memory problems because of his illness and concussions. So he got in there and he did work on the computer.

Getting the mortgage was very easy. I applied online, and then they’ve got to check the standard stuff in the mortgage, and locked the rate and appraisal, and closed the loan.
The online application process was very easy to use. Everything was easier. I’ve worked with other banks before. This is my fourth home purchase. I thought it was very easy. If they needed something, you’d get an email alert and then a follow up with the loan processor. It was easy to upload and I didn’t have any issues with it. It took about 40 days for the application and underwriting.
I had a fantastic interaction with their customer service. It was very easy to deal with Mark, the loan originator. He wasn’t pushy and he was very upfront. Initially, we’d had a purchase agreement on our house that fell through. We weren’t moving forward and we had to stop. But it was just easy to pick back up once the second offer came through. I dealt with another company before when I did a refinance on my house and they were kind of pushy, “Hey, we need you to make a decision. I’m not going to hold this rate for that long.” On the other hand, Mark from Amerisave was like, “Hey, do you want me to check the rates for you today?” The loan processor was the same. His name is Glen and he was very easy to get in contact with. Everything flowed very smoothly even with the real estate agent. They were able to get all the information they needed really quickly.

Their reps were very communicative. They made daily phone calls, partly due to my unfamiliarity with the process, as well as some of the specifics that applied just to me.
After the original paperwork was done, we had to make a house payment before it was finalized. They had to change it after that. Plus, our taxes were to be paid as part of that payment since that's every six months. That changed everything at the last minute. However, at the end of the process, before we've even made our first payment, they've already sold the loan off to somebody else. They should be a little more communicative about setting that expectation, what their role in the whole process is, and when the loan is going to be handed off as well as what that means.

I compared different mortgage providers for the mortgage that I wanted, which was a 15-year fix.

I also looked which company gave the best personal service. It was a requirement for me that the people I spoke to were easy to get along with. After comparing several different companies, including Mr. Cooper, who had taken over my mortgage only a few months prior, and Quicken, AmeriSave had the combination of the rate that I wanted, the low cost, and the good people who could handle the process very efficiently. And I was also one of their existing customers since I had previously refinanced through them many years before, so they gave me a further discount.
There were lots of different steps along the way, but it was all automated and easy to do. In addition, everything was done online. Sometimes I'd talk to someone on the phone and they would tell me I needed to submit a copy of something, which I would then submit online. The people who had to approve my loan came back with a few questions and getting those answered went smoothly. The people I dealt with did a great job.

Previously, I've done other companies, and they appraised me exactly to what I was expecting at the market level that I never have to actually question that, given the money investment and the stuff you put into the house.
Also, there's one area that I feel like they're trying to reduce the value of the homes so I don't get take too much out of the mortgage, out of my equity from my home so I can invest more elsewhere. The appraising company who did the work, I lost the 10% while I'm back to them and trying to get more information. I still had a good experience with Amerisave, though. They're decent compared with other companies, not overly expensive. The process is so simple that I'm willing to wait until it's done.

I was trying to consolidate my two loans. The agent from Amerisave called me first and then we looked at the rates and decided that the rate was good. He was able to help me in locking the rate down. They were really responsive. If I make a call, they would definitely call me back within a reasonable time. It was a very good experience.

I filled out an online-type of questionnaire and Amerisave Mortgage called. They’re one of the companies that followed up and applying with them was easy. They did an excellent job all in all.

It's easy with Amerisave and they're pretty much quicker than another lender. Their loan officer helped me a lot and she did a pretty much good work as much as getting the loan quicker. The lending process was good but they were asking a lot of documents that I felt like it wasn’t necessary. But I understand if that’s what they have to do. Their representatives were good. They quickly asked me whatever document I had to bring so that way we can get the loan quicker. So, whenever they needed something they let me know. They emailed me and I emailed back with the documents. I expected the rate to be a little lower though. They told me because of the co-signer was a little low score I didn't get the rate that I was expecting. Nonetheless, I had a good experience with them. I was in a hurry to get the loan and the seller gave me a deadline and Amerisave did it on that time.

Amerisave had very competitive rates which I liked. Their process was also fairly easy and quick. Josh was very low pressured and was very consultative. He counseled and guided me throughout. He was very accommodating, always receptive and responsive. I was able to reduce my rate and therefore also reduced the length of mortgage. I went from a 30 refinance down to a 20. It was a very pleasant experience. Erin who was the processor was also very customer friendly and focused. She was very prompt and responsive to my needs. I made a last minute change and it wasn't a response of, "Sorry, I can't do that." She was extremely accommodating and made a last minute change for me. So I was very happy with the overall experience.

The rate at AmeriSave was favorable and everything played out exactly how we planned it according to what they told me was going to happen and the timing of it. We were fast-tracked so it took 40 days for the whole process. The person that I worked with was very responsive, answered any questions I had when I called it up with them. I'm very pleased and I'd recommend them.

I was purchasing a home and I have used AmeriSave in the past. I did an online application and the mortgage process was quick and easy. The reps were very professional and there was confidence around who I was talking to. AmeriSave Mortgage isn’t some kind of a phishing scheme and they are superior to most of the other ones that I checked.

I was trying to pay for my daughter's college education so I thought of getting a mortgage. Since I used AmeriSave Mortgage the last time, I called them. Their application process was easy to do because we've done it before. It was nice because it didn't have to do a lot of going somewhere and sign in. It was mostly all done online. It was time-consuming though because we had so many pages that we had to initial but it was a lot easier to do in my own home. Adam, their rep treated me very, very nicely. I love him and this was the second time I dealt with him. He helped me walked right through the process and stayed on the phone with me. My experience with Amerisave Mortgage was wonderful and their rate was the best I could get at that time.

I was looking to refinance with AmeriSave Mortgage to lower my payment. I found out at Lending Tree that AmeriSave had the best offer. Applying was relatively simple. Their website is good and it went pretty smoothly. It was spectacular. From start to finish, it took about a month. There were a couple communication issues with them regarding emails, but there’s nothing major. They got it covered and I’m very pleased. Keep up the good work, AmeriSave.

I refinanced with Amerisave and they are great. I liked their general online process plus their interest rate was very good compared to other banks. Everything was loaded online and everything was easy. Nothing was a surprise. I talked with Charles and he was very responsive. He was able to explain everything. I loved it. They relayed e-mails and responded very quickly. Condos take longer times to refinance but everything went pretty fast.

Amerisave was willing to give us a better offer. We did a mortgage refinance with them because we have very good credit and I didn’t want to do the PMI. I applied online and their website was very easy to navigate. The application process went smooth and we got approved in 15 minutes. Jordan, their rep, seemed like he wanted to help us the best way that he could. He was honest and gave me options and told us what wouldn't work for us. And I can send him information from another mortgage company and he will let me know if it's good or bad without going with them. If I'd take out any mortgage or re-fi again, I would definitely go back to them. AmeriSave would work with anybody. They try to help people, and if they can't, they can guide them with information. AmeriSave did very well and we had a wonderful experience.

We've used AmeriSave in the past and we liked them. I went online to apply for a home mortgage. I also talked to our previous loan officer who has helped us a couple of times. He answered our calls right away and got us answers that we needed. He was awesome. And it was a very easy and very smooth process. Their rates were competitive and we will use them again.

In obtaining my mortgage, I started with the bank that holds the paper and got a quote from them. Then I reached out to an online group funding where I put my information in. I talked to about five people and Amerisave was the one who consistently had the best to offer so I followed up with them. The loan officer that I spoke with was very knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, understood what I needed to know, and got me the information I needed.
However, the processor who it was turned over to was less successful in that respect. She had the tendency to act as if I was someone who had been in the mortgage business for 20 years, and was big on rapid-fire dropping acronyms and numbers that didn’t necessarily add up. And so, that portion was a little bit confusing. But I was always able to go back to the loan officer and get the information I needed when I couldn’t get it from the processor. We got a mortgage from them to reduce the term, and then get it down to 15 years and reduce the rate. And I feel good about the rate.

I was looking for a VA loan and Amerisave came up through Lending Tree. They had the best rate and terms. The process was all online but it required me to send in a fair amount of documentation, scanning in a lot of stuff. Because it was a VA loan, the government was involved that was why there was more than there would have been otherwise. Whenever I submitted forms online, it got confusing. They could use some better instructions. Sometimes it seemed like they were wanting things more than once. They didn’t follow up a list of things that they needed, even though I had already sent some things in. I sent some things more than once to make sure that they had it.
But the AmeriSave staff was good. At the very end, whatever title company they worked with kind of jacked it up. I had to call the rep several times because they didn’t have our tax information right. They didn’t follow through whenever I told them initially it was wrong. There was a lot of back and forth with the title company than there should have been. But the rep was extremely quick to return email. All in all, it was a pretty good process.
