It was so well organized and so easy doing this process with AmeriSave Mortgage. Representatives followed up and were in touch with me every step of the way. The documentation process showed me what to do, showed me where I was. The company made sure I knew when something else was needed and made the submission process smooth.

I had dealt with another company, and felt they were being deceitful with me. However, it was quite the opposite with AmeriSave's Leo **, the rep I spoke with. He was polite with a friendly demeanor making me feel relaxed like I was talking with a friend on the telephone. We talked about this and that and before I knew it, he said we were done, that we finished all the questions; and, we would wait for the next step. I was pleased.

I filled out an application online after reading good reviews. Then as soon as I was done they connected me with an agent, Carlos, who was knowledgeable and efficient. He walked me through the process, explained the different rates available & made the whole process quick and painless. I digitally signed some documents on my phone. Then I had to upload about 7 documents of my own to the portal online, which was easier than I thought. They sent a notary out & the whole thing was completed in less than 2 months. I am relieved and happy.

Loan Originator Toren ** & Loan Processor Amanda ** were the best part of the process. Both took the time and effort to make sure we were well informed of entire process, specifically the mortgage processing, status, approval, and closing.

Overall I was mildly satisfied with Amerisave. It took over 2 months to start and close my refinance. In that time my buy down increased over $2500. They said they would adjust that to close what we talked about. They took $600 off. Overall it was still a good deal and worth it. The only reason that I gave a mildly satisfied review is because my loan originator was awesome. Very helpful, kept me informed and did what he could to try to get my rate close to what we talked about. And 2 the online process was great. The way upload, view, sign, submit documents couldn't have been easier. I wouldn't overly recommend Amerisave, but I also wouldn't tell you not to use Amerisave. I would just caution that it won't be quick!

I wish I had read prior reviews on this site prior to engaging with AmeriSave. I thought they were a reputable company. Jason is the loan officer I spoke with when I called the 800 number and he sounded very professional and helpful. However that's where it ended. As with other reviewers, after I paid the $500 application fee it's been totally silent. He would not return my calls and I followed up with emails and finally copied their customer service department. His manager Frank did call me last week and said it was with an underwriter. To date still no response. I've dealt with many mortgage companies and brokers and I must say this one is the worst. I think this company makes their money on the $500 upfront fee they make everyone pay. Stay away! With so many dissatisfied customers, there must be something Consumer Affairs can do or some other regulatory agency. I'd be curious to see what other reviewers have done.

Initially, I spoke to Sarah A. She was very pleasant and understood what I desired to accomplish. What I wanted was a short-term, low interest, no cost re-fi. I have good credit and good income. I wasn't even certain if a company would want my business as my intentions are to pay off the balance in 2 to 2 1/2 years. I presented all of this information and Sarah understood. She said everything should be ready to fund in about 20 days and complete in 30. Sounded good to me. I sent all requested info immediately and waited for a response. No response so I tried to call. Sarah finally called after I sent email and said her phone wasn't working. Right! I waited until 3 weeks had passed and again began calling because the online information showed no processor had been assigned.
Finally I was able to speak to Sarah again and she promised she would get someone to call me within 24 hours and she herself would call to confirm the ball was rolling. No phone calls came, so I contacted the company on their website and said to cancel my loan request and I would be contacting various entities to advise of their treatment. I gave them another 24 hours before making this write-up, just in case they wanted to salvage the loan. I guess Amerisave is too busy . Don't waste your time with them. They are not reliable.

I am still in the process of refinancing my home. I begin April 13th and it's now June 11th and it's not done. What happened? Day one Amerisave collected $500 for their application fee. A web page was set up for me to upload all my documentation. On the webpage there is an area that asks customers for any additional documentation that's needed throughout the process, but even as of today Amerisave did not ask for any additional documentation.
On day one I uploaded everything initially asked for by the loan officer. I called and followed up for the first month, asking if there is anything needed. I was told no, they have everything they need. After 1 month went by, I asked why it's taking so long. I was told they were busy. At the end of May I was assigned a Loan Processor, which calls me and begins asking for more documentation. At this point I was shocked as I am now aware the process is barely beginning! I've had several loans for homes I've purchased and or refinanced, It's NEVER taken more than a month. I am so frustrated with the decision I made to go with Amerisave. My recommendation to you... Look away from Amerisave.

After 2 months I was told we weren't even approved yet. Save your sanity and choose another lender.

Updated on 07/03/2020: Since my last post on 6/6/20, I’d hoped to receive a refund for my Application Fee from Amerisave. Since I have not, I will write another review, with a little more detailed information. On 4/10, I received a call from Hector **, after searching online refi quotes. He assured me Amerisave would get me a great rate and that the process would be fast and easy. So I paid for the App fee of $500 believing this mortgage company could refinance my home within a reasonable amount of time. For several weeks, he said the process was going fine. Then I eventually got no call back. When I emailed him, he would email the Processor to ask her the status, and never got back to me. The Processor, Amy ** told me she was either not at my file, away from her desk, in a meeting, or that my loan would close next week. This went on until I decided to cancel on 6/6/20, nine weeks after I initially spoke with Hector **.
I then emailed him, requesting a refund of $500 for the app fee, and he said he would ask his manager. Of course, I received no response. Obviously, there was no closing date in sight, and definitely a huge lack of communication. I then read the reviews on Consumer Affairs and the BBB, and was horrified at some of the reviews, going way back before COVID even started. I read tonight that there was a legal issue about how Amerisave did the ‘bait and switch’ which is what I believe happened to me. Also after reading Amerisave’s responses to complaints, they seem to never be accountable for their actions, no apologies given, and obviously don’t care that they are taking their customer’s money. So, if I could give no stars, that’s what they deserve. As I said in my previous review, run as fast as you can, away from this company. Hopefully, this will help someone turn the other cheek.
Original Review: Run away from this company as fast as you can! I just wished I read this site's reviews before I signed. I talked with an Amerisave rep who quoted me a great deal, as my fico is above 800. This was April 10, 2020, and (today) nine weeks later, there no date for closing. Like many others, I called the rep week after week to find out my status, and eventually, no answer or call back. The same with their Processor. She would say she was either in a meeting or not close to my file, and would get back to me. She emailed back to say she would get back to me soon, every week. Amerisave took my $500, and once they got that, there was not much contact from them at all, for nine weeks.
I finally got on this site and the BBB to see the reviews. I was horrified that this company did the same thing to others, as they did me. And this goes way back before Covid. I cancelled the refi process today, and found my old mortgage broker, whom I know did an excellent job, and will go with them. Amerisave is a company who will say anything to get your $500 App fee, then have nothing to do with you. I just hope these reviews will prevent someone else from being scammed by this company.

I wish I saw the reviews about Amerisave here before I started a refinancing process. As other consumers stated, they don't communicate with consumers well once you pay a $500 non-refundable fee. It was my big mistake to pay the fee upfront as I believed what they said, e.g., a great rate. You won't be able to lock your RATE and FEES until your loan is approved which will take several weeks. So you would end up with a very high interest rate and fee at the end. I emailed the loan officer several times to get an update but no response. My loan application would be just one of the many so they didn't care because I already paid a $500! I was extremely frustrated by their poor communication and unprofessional business standards. Now I know that I am not alone!!! Be careful!

On April 1, 2020, I applied for a refi loan with Amerisave. My credit score is over 760. I was financing $150K on a $600K+ home. Unfortunately, my loan officer was RJ **. He told me that with so much equity, an appraisal was not required, which would save me hundreds. On April 17, my online account showed an appraisal was ordered. I emailed RJ ** and asked him to check on it. No response. Around April 26, I emailed him again, this time using the online form. I received an automated response that I would be contacted shortly. No response. A week later, I emailed him again. No response. I tried their online chat. No one ever came online. I called by phone, no response. Then my loan was terminated due to incomplete documentation. It turns out the appraiser had never appraised a home of my type, so he just refused to do an appraisal. Incompetence.
Unfortunately, RJ ** was my only contact. Everything online or by phone redirected to him. He made a mistake and then was too chicken to admit his mistake and reply to me. That is just bad customer service. I finally was able to be directed to a different human being. She was quite polite. I asked to speak to Mr. **'s manager. I was assured that he would contact me directly. No call. If you want to pay their nonrefundable "fee" and get nothing, be my guest. I did receive an automated survey. I responded nicely, asking for a return call. No response.

I'm not happy that I have to give them one star just to leave this review. I am LIVID about the lack of communication from my Loan Processor. We are in the midst of refinancing our home with Amerisave. We were initially quoted a little over $8600 in closing costs for our cash-out refi. The second disclosure package raised that to over $11,000 in closing costs. We've just received our third disclosure package. Now they want us to pay $12,508 just in closing costs and our "cash-out" is no longer enough to cover the expenses we wanted it for in the first place.
Additionally, our appraisal was low-balled by at least $20,000 so they could charge us more for points. Even after 3 sets of disclosures our interest rate STILL hasn't been locked. I'm fully expecting that by the time it is, it will be higher than the 3.25% we've been looking at so far. We have left multiple messages for our loan officer requesting explanations for these ever increasing costs and sent multiple emails requesting same, but she has so far REFUSED to answer any of our questions. At this point she's not even returning our phone calls. We've also messages and sent emails to the loan processor with a similar lack of response.
I should have known better when their sales rep called US trolling for business after we signed up on Quicken Loans. At this point I'd love to tell them exactly where they can shove my non-refundable $500 deposit, but I can't get I can't get a hold of anyone to tell them so. There's no general phone number listed anywhere so I can't even be "that person" and ask to speak to a manager about the deplorable customer service we've received. This company is utterly unethical and what they offer is a bait and switch.

I unfortunately did not get much from just inquiring information. My husband and I were thinking about refinancing our home to get our interest rate lower and hopefully our monthly payment lowered. So yesterday, I went only just to chat and see my options. I get a representative online and the chat starts fine. Of course they wanted me to call but I informed them I could not talk at the moment and I am just shopping around to find the best options. After that the rep just did not seem interested in talking to me. I was also informed that my husband's credit score have to be at least 680 to do anything at all. Then I proceeded to ask about a few options and was ignored.
Today I received a text message from a different representative asking if I wanted info on rates. I said "yes" and made a joke saying "I hope you're nicer than the last rep I spoke to...they were kinda rude to me". Never got a response so I just went on about my day. Later this afternoon, I received a text message from yesterday's rep... being rude again and calling me out for saying so. The amount of unprofessionalism in 1 of Amerisave employees to text a potential customer to say how I am "degrading" them is mighty surprising. I have NEVER in my life had someone continuously text me trying to say I am the one in the wrong. I hope the next customer they talk to... they have better customer services and hopefully are a little more understanding and patient with the needs of that said customer.

I started the process of refinancing my home with Amerisave on April 1st. I have wasted five weeks while going through a very cumbersome process. We were supposed to be less than one week from closing when I was informed that my trust documents were not exact. Keep in mind my trust is certified through a legal expert and documented at the courthouse. Amerisave wanted to do a quick claim deed to process the loan and they had already contacted my insurance company to be listed as the lien holder on my property. This is not the company you need to select and will charge you an upfront $500 application process fee that now they do not want to credit. Do not engage with this company.

This would be a ZERO star review had it been allowed on the website. I spoke with Ben **, a mortgage loan officer at AmeriSave. He is the most arrogant person that I spoke with. I told him that at he same interest rate of 2.375%, Better Mortgage has a Loan Origination charge of about $1K versus AmeriSave's Loan Origination of $6K. He then told me that comparing AmeriSave with Better Mortgage is like comparing apples to oranges, and that Better mortgage has bad customer service. He also mentioned that Better Mortgage has people that are like "working in their basements". When he bad-mouthed a competitor instead of offering a better deal, that should have been a sign for me to end the call.
Ben ** then asked me why I selected the 2.375% rate when the website shows that the Origination Charge is upwards of $6K. I told him that I was under the impression that the $6K on the website is the total loan cost. He then talked down to me and told me that he has not talked to anyone before who does not know what an Origination Charge is.
Ben ** has very poor customer service. The only good thing I got from this interaction with Ben ** is that Better Mortgage is way BETTER than AmeriSave. Better Mortgage has obviously better customer service, and Better Mortgage has the lowest Origination Charge (at about $1K). So if you have been contacted by AmeriSave, don't just bother to take the call or respond to their email. Instead, try Better Mortgage.

I started the process of refinancing my home with Amerisave in February. Due to the coronavirus things like inspections and appraisals went rather slow but I had immediately signed a rate lock at 3.8% when we started the process. Finally we were going to Close the last week of April the day before I was supposed to pay my current mortgage which they had told me not to pay because they had included it in the payoff amount. After not hearing from them I decided I better call and see how things were going. All of a sudden there was a problem with my loan. My rate had jumped up to 4.375% which was the same rate I already had with my current mortgage. I'm glad I decided to call so I can cancel the whole process and just pay my mortgage on time instead of listening to them and not paying it at all this month.
I am now sticking with my current lender and am extremely upset at Amerisave because they were misleading and had no problem with my home or mortgage rate until the last possible moment. So basically the rate lock is a scam and means absolutely nothing to anyone at this company. Just because you sign that piece of paper means absolutely nothing when closing rolls around.

Although Amerisave mortgage has a lot of good comments and treatment, there are a few of us that had not been treated properly and taken advantage of as far as keeping your upfront fee of $500, plus $500 for an appraisal. Most mortgage companies I've dealt with do not take an upfront fee to start a loan process and never refund it. They assist you with finding a loan you can afford and qualify for. Even if you wanted to borrow $100K, if they see your income is not sufficient enough to afford it, work with the customer so every customer is qualified and happy.
After all documents were sent, the agent and underwriter should know if you qualify or not. Call or email and discuss lowering the amount. I have good credit although it is much, but it would have helped to pay the creditors off. I have full equity in my home, more so than what I asked for. Soon after the appraisal came in, the loan was denied and I lost both fees paid for a total of $1000 on my credit card. I've tried numerous times to call, left messages to Mr M. **, and emailed him several times to NO RESPONSE! Now, I've written my complaint to the corporate office. I have yet to hear from them of this solution. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY'S PRACTICES!!

There is nothing wrong of selling mortgage but to take the credit report of anyone who is just shopping for mortgage or trying to find your interest-rate should not be necessary or even legal. The customer should first know your interest rate (Ok, list it for each credit score) and closing fees before you even start selling anything. Taking a credit report and costing the customer a few points on his/her credit score should not be legal. Folks: do not apply to any company who do not spell their interest rate right on the front page. After their deceptive way of taking my credit report (and consequently reducing my credit score), I was told that they do not finance people with more than 3 properties!

My personal experience with AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation has been one of a host of broken promises, pressure tactics (that compel a refinance without time to consider it) and a credit card locked with $425.00 in fees I hadn't approved. I was promised I wouldn't be charged an appraisal fee for this mortgage refinance if I gave my credit card information until I myself set an exact date, and gave permission for an appraisal. The lure is a rate offer the employee said he can get from his boss, and lock you into if you give your credit card information as a sign of sincerity. Upon being promised I controlled when I would be charged, I was pressured into giving my credit card information in order to lock in on a promised rate.
I was promise I wouldn't be charged until I set an exact date and gave final approval then pushed into agreeing to a tentative range of days to get an appraisal. Once I gave my card information, and a host of personal data, including my social security number, this employee tried to get me to sign off on a further 20 documents through e consent. I stopped the process, stating I started getting a feeling of being railroaded. I made it clear at that point I was upset about being pushed, about having given my card information, and that I was being rushed through a number of documents I should be viewing more carefully. I stopped the process and stated that I need time to think. I was assured I would be charged nothing until I gave a go ahead and called back.
The next morning, 14 February, 2020, I found this company had broken its word, pushed through an appraisal date unilaterally without my approval, moving it from tentative to one their appraiser chose. Without my approval, they charged me $425.00. Finding this employee had broken his promise I sent repeated text and messages asking for the return of my money. Finally getting this employee on the phone, and making it clear I was upset about the broken promises, he said there had been a mistake and promised my money would be returned within two business days. With regular checks daily, it's been one and a half weeks. Despite calls, messages and texts requesting my money (and continued assurances it was being done) my funds have yet to be returned.
I made it clear I'm no longer interested in any dealings with their company and considering getting my money back as an act of good faith if there was any chance of still doing business (hoping this might motivate them to giving my money back). The credit card and the interest charge on it are now locked up with my bank as I contest the charges. Despite multiple promises about my controlling the release of the funds, and then that the funds would be returned, my money has yet to be returned. The employee does not answer my calls despite my making it very clear I'm charged interest on this card, and the stress this is causing me. I strongly suggest all carefully consider this warning here.
It appears amerisave wants to force financial information out a client as an act of sincerity to get a promised rate. They promise the tentative dates agreed to will not result in a charge until the client sets an exact date and agrees to proceed with the charge. Amerisave then apparently, unilaterally lets their appraiser set the date so they can charge you immediately. A client believes he's just locking in a rate, but finds one's card has incurred hundreds of dollars in charges, and at worst, this employee has pushed the individual through literally dozen of pages of documents that one is taking his word upon for their meaning.

First, let me say that talking to a human at Amerisave never happened. Despite providing me a phone number for my refinance process, the loan officer Mr. ** never answered his phone and never returned my calls. So what is crazy? They charge a non-refundable $500 if you don't complete a loan with them. Then they use a shoddy appraiser who comes in well below the home value so that you won't want to do the loan. Originally we signed up for a loan and expected an appraisal at $450,000 - $460,000. The home is easily worth that. Another recent appraisal by our current lender placed the home at $454,000. But Amerisave wouldn't use that. Knowing our home was in that neighborhood, we applied.
Amerisave's appraiser gave an appraisal of $415,000. It was laughable.Originally we were going to get $1,800.00 back at closing but with this bait and switch tactic, they now want us to come up with $45,000 to close. All I can say is BUYER BEWARE. We will obviously not be doing business with Amerisave. Some will try to say it is likely our home is not worth what we think it is. I would say one look at the appraisers shoddy work says otherwise. There were some glaring omissions in his report that add significant value to the bottom line. They were completely left off the appraisal. On top of that, the comparable sales pulled were not comparable. The only one that was had recently sold for $460,000. The only difference was our home had more property. The other two comparisons were smaller homes with less land and appraised in the $360,000 range. Those are not comparable at all except to bring down the value of our home.
I lived and learned. One of Amerisave's competitors warned me of how they do business. I shrugged it off as a competitor with bad business practices. It turns out, they were actually just being honest. Best of all, I have sent a couple emails to my loan officer at Amerisave to see if any other options exist. He hasn't returned my emails or bothered to call me. It seems as if he Amerisave got their $500.00 and ran. Unsavory business practices for sure.

A difference of $30,000. This is no way a good deal to refinance for only a monthly savings of around $200 per month when paying $30,000 more! This to me seems like a scam altogether. First I was promised no more PMI which never happened! Then I was charged $500 for a bogus appraisal and all the unnecessary document requests that took over 4 months to get to this point. Stay away from AmeriSave! There are over 70 complaints in reference to the same complaint that I'm filing. Please advise if there will be an class action lawsuits. Mark **
Original Review: Requested refinance service with AmeriSave back in August and all seemed good with the initial process along with the new quoted mortgage payments. 2 weeks go by with a number documents that had to be signed. An appraisal company (Royal Appraisals) hired by AmeriSave came out to the house and appraised my property significantly low even with recent upgrades of approximately $70,000. AmeriSave took two weeks to contact Royal Appraisals only for them to return and give the same appraisal. Another two weeks go by and no updated appraisal report was sent to AmeriSave. AmeriSave showed a Lack of attempts and initiative to get the updated appraisal report. Once the appraisal report was sent, AmeriSave did not notify me via email or phone to advise that I had to acknowledge and sign the new disclosure forms for the refinance.
A week went by until I logged onto the site and discovered it myself. All new disclosure forms and additional documents were all signed, scanned and email to two representative (S. **) and still no acknowledgment that the documents were receive. Pay the extra cost for a quality company to avoid the aggravation and poor customer service that AmeriSave provides.

I Applied online and they pulled my credit, though I had been approved by another Bank I just needed a second opinion. I emailed some of my documents to Nicole in Georgia who advised she would review and get back to me within 24 hrs, 4 days passed and she was not returning call, I thus contacted customer satisfaction who advised Nicole's manager would be reaching out to me that afternoon- well that is 3 days ago.

Nothing but delays and poor communication. Started loan process on 10/1. Sent them EVERYTHING they needed on 10/3. Since then, have been asked for same information on multiple occasions. On 10/3, executed Title Company release. Crickets since then. TODAY (10/30) then send a new Title Company release for a different company. 27 days lost. Not OUR job to monitor their poorly performing Title Company. You would think the Loan Officer would be doing something for their commission. Would not recommend them to anyone.

I agreed to pay the 500.00 application fee based on the rate I was offered and signed to. I get an appraisal and the appraisal company low balled my home and it came in over 25k less. They wanted to offer me a much higher rate, and I declined. I asked, why don’t you collect the application fee after the appraisal? They could not answer. Horrible experience, waste of time.

I was recommended your Company by my Brother who is a Regional Manager for Accounts for a major auto company. He values best prices, professionalism, and efficiency at getting the task done. I am extremely happy with the rate I got, and even when I shopped around a few times over the lock in period, I never saw a better rate. The profesionalism and listening skills of my Loan Originator and Processor were 100%! My Processor got me to close on time, even though time was running out due to me being slow getting some forms and changing last minute some parts of my application.

Just like many others, I applied for a re-fi on my home. In good faith, after discussing the terms with Julio **, I handed over $500 that was to be including in the loan when the loan went thru. After being rushed to lock a rate, after getting an appraisal on the WRONG house, not even in the same state, after NEVER hearing from him once he had my money, after being approved, after refusing to contact the title company that I chose as stated in the contract, after 2 closings came and went, after MULTIPLE unanswered phone calls and emails, after the original terms were changed to such a ridiculous amount of fees that I could NEVER afford nor agree to, after asking me to look at the appraisal I had looked at 3 times already, after asking for the survey that was already in his hands, after 3 MONTHS went by, I filed a report to have my $500 returned.
He immediately responded THEN!!! Telling me my loan had been denied because of "incompleteness" even though I had been on top of getting him every single document he needed. His email stated that the "incompleteness" was me backing out. He SET ME UP. A HUGE, HUGE SCAM!!! I believe he had every intention to lure me in and then raise the rates so I would not be okay with the terms and he could keep the money. Some people may have had a positive experience with this company, but if you do your research, you will find many, many others like myself, who have not. Check out all the consumer advocate sites and you'll find that the above practice has happened over and over, again. It costs them 19.8 million back in 2014.

I worked directly with Russell ** and Matthew **. I am extremely pleased that these 2 gentleman were there to help me. One of the first things I noticed is their ability to listen. There was no doubt in my mind I was eligible for refinance at a lower interest rate and that my equity would provide both some account payoffs and offer some cash to get some much needed jobs done around my house. Other financiers gave me a runaround and could not do for me what these 2 guys did and I'm convinced had they listened I might have ended up elsewhere but I am glad I didn't. These 2 guys were very patient with my questions and offered a personal side that made me feel like they could both be trusted and have a burger with! Great guys, great business! Thank you!

I have a number of issues with AmeriSave that culminated in me canceling my entire application. When I first started the loan process, I spoke with a loan officer who started an application with an old address which I had sold a month prior. When I realized he might be using an old address, he transferred me to another loan officer who can originate loans in my new state. This loan officer was rude, inattentive, pushed his personal agenda, didn't address my questions, and ultimately refused to take any responsibility when I attempted to address some of my concerns with him, and told me "that's your opinion". I requested a new loan officer, and my big complaint was a lack of follow through. I needed to close in 30 days on a cash out refinance, and just got strung along, reassured it would not be a problem.
I submitted all requested documents within 12-24 hours, but they just failed to deliver, and still refused any responsibility. Their appraiser took 2 weeks to get the appraisal scheduled and delivered. Their underwriting process, took 2 weeks, and was going to take at least 2-3 more weeks. At my loan officer said they were just busy and its no one's fault. I completely disagree, there are dozens of residential appraisers that could have turned around their report. If their loan volume is pushing close dates beyond 30 days, they should hire more staff. Their loan officers could be proactive communicating with clients to establish expectations and revised timelines. In the end, I canceled my entire application. When a business repeatedly fails to deliver and then takes no personal responsibility, I can't in good conscience recommend them, and in fact, others should be warned and be prepared for the experience they may encounter.

We made a decision to refinance our home with AmeriSave and signed the papers to begin the process. Within less than 5 minutes of signing, we decided that we had made a mistake due to the high costs of closing the deal. We called immediately to try to cancel our application. They said that was not possible. They kept our $500.00 deposit and we got NOTHING for that. I would have been happy to pay the deposit had we decided to cancel the process days or weeks into the refinance. This was less than 5 minutes. A decent company would have offered a refund or at least a partial refund. We worked with a different company. It was still worth the cancellation since we saved several thousand dollars in closing costs by working with a different company.

I was assured by Antonio that the buyer was fully qualified to make this purchase. I'm a Realtor and have the responsibility to help the seller make informed decisions. After several unanswered voicemails and emails and 23 days in process? The loan was declined. The reason provided was debt to income. That information should have been scrutinized from the beginning. Of course I'm upset that the loan didn't materialize and the buyer paid for inspections and appraisal but the worst was the lack of communication. No phone calls or emails were ever returned after the loan was in progress.

I wanted to file a complaint against them with the BBB and then noticed they already have 71 complaints. How can they still be operable. That's my question. Paul ** lied to me several times. He told me that I would receive the $470 appraisal cost returned to my credit card. I called before signing to verify this information and once again he assured me the money would be returned. He also told me that he overpaid my payoff by over 2,000 so that after I close that money would also come back. My previous mortgage company informed me that he had the correct amount all along. The figures kept changing almost daily before the final signing and in the end, I was duped. Beware of doing any business with this company.

The origination of my refi was easy but from there on it was difficult. It took 3 months to get done and by no fault of my own. Credit was good, got everything to them within 48 hours. They forgot to do the electric application with the VA and I had to tell them after following up with the VA about the hold up, then AmeriSave cleared me while I waited for a name change on the COE. During the last review AmeriSave decided they wanted an invoice to fix the walls of one of my 3 showers. Got them invoice in a day, then they decided they wanted it fixed or wanted the appraiser to change the appraisal.
We agreed to fix it and they would pay final inspection fee. We fixed it over the weekend and it got cleared. However not only did they not pay for it but they double charged me. I’ve left messages and emails and not a single person has addressed it since my loan closed. I suggest you rethink using this company. Communication was very difficult throughout the process. I understand the underwriting process can be frustrating and I’ve used VA loans before but this by far the most difficult.

For the past few days, AmeriSave has been calling my office line at least 5 times a day. It's an automated recording that then connects you to a person if you stay on the line. The recording advises you to press 7 to unsubscribe, but doing so does nothing. Tried explaining to the rep that they are calling a business, she promptly hung up on me. A few hours later, they are calling again from a different number so you can't block their calls altogether. Horrible way to do business, I would never do business with a company who uses telemarketer and scam tactics to get you on the phone, and refuses to take you off their call list.

We were supposedly pre approved on April 14th, I handed in paperwork for over a month and a half, they needed copies of bank accounts, birth certificates, many personal items. I started to get nervous giving such personal information out, but, he assured this was needed for our refi. I had been working with a loan specialist to refinance our existing home and consolidate our debt into one payment. Joshua ** seemed well informed. He ordered an appraisal at a cost of 650.00. Our house appraised at 50,000 more than what our mortgage loan was to be. It was a "sure" thing that this was going to happen. I downloaded the appraisal and saw that the appraisal company charged a fee of 550.00, I asked where the other 100. went, he danced around the question and never answered it.
When he said our debt to income ratio was off and they needed copies of bank accounts to make up for the ratio and it would work, and again assured me it was safe and a regular practice. Later that day we were denied the loan. I am a nervous that they have all our personal information. I have no recourse and at a loss on how to get refunded the 650.00. No-one will return calls or emails. After reading many complaints and the heartache that these loan people have created, it's just disgusting.

What I appreciate about AmeriSave and what sets it apart from all the other lenders was the cost of refinancing as by far, it was the only lender that was able to accommodate my 1st and 2nd mortgages when all the other lenders have told me I didn't have enough equity in my home to cover both. I believe it's because the other lenders have their fees too high.

I was working with an AmeriSave loan officer on the mortgage loan. The loan processor told me that I had to move into my new construction home with furniture in order to do a loan with them. If not, I could not do a mortgage loan with them. I told loan officer that loan processor told me that I need to move my furniture into home. The loan officer said loan processor was wrong. Loan officer told me to trust him. So I let it go for several weeks then I got another call from AmeriSave loan processor saying that I need to get furniture in my newly built home again. This stressed me out because the builder told me that he is ready to close on the house. I get this news that the loan officer and loan processor can't get their story straight for a second time.
I told him that they are stressing me out because they are both coming with different answers. I told them someone needs to apologize for putting me under stress by giving me wrong information. So loan officer put me on the phone with loan processor saying that he was not wrong and that they were giving me a special treatment which was a bunch of crap. Loan processor would not admit he was wrong. He hung up on me when I tried to tell him what he did wrong so he would not do it again. Then loan officer's manager apologizes and told me that I was right with my story which they have a recording of me talking to the loan processor. I told loan processor's manager about the problems with his loan processor.
Then loan processor's manager apologizes and said that the loan processor would not call me to apologizes for his wrongdoing. I feel that everyone was apologizing but the person who caused the stress and problems. I told manager that I deserve apologies from the person who caused problems and not the manager because manager did not do anything wrong. Then I went to see my builder who told me that the loan processor was still working on the loan with his boss. Why in the world would I want someone who is making mistakes to stay on my loan file so I told loan processor's manager that they do not need my business since they will not let their loan processor apologize for his mistake and allowing him to hang up on me without saying sorry.

They immediately SOLD me an appraisal--I should have been suspect. A few days later, I received an email asking me for about 40 documents from tax records to insurance statements, even though I gave the names of groups to contact (CPA firm, my bank of 30+ years, tax record releases, insurance company contact, etc.) -- meaning they did about NOTHING to verify ANYTHING themselves.
I got another surprise when their "appraiser" sent back a report which not only included NO comps of houses ALL AROUND MINE that had sold in the past year at all--none with the same lot size, none in the same immediate area, none with fenced yards or sheds or decks--and the "appraiser" even failed to note a full bedroom, which he called a "den" even though he knew it was built as an in-law apartment with separate entrance and bath and security system. The appraisal was clearly skewed to try to make the market value as low as possible. My advice?
