My experience was excellent. I always had return phone calls or emails sent in very timely manners. From when I first contacted them and to the final signing for the refinance of my mortgage, which was done at my house and at a convenient time, was just 4 weeks. I have and will continue to recommend Amerisave Mortgage to my friends.
Thank you for your feedback!!!

I went with Amerisave because I helped my daughter do her San Diego Condominium loan with Amerisave and it was a very smooth process. The website posts rates and all borrower's costs. Because the market was volatile, I checked the rates daily and waited until they were at my target rate and made an application. The secure document upload feature is great for submitting sensitive financial information. I was promptly approved, subject to appraisal, and locked my rate. The appraisal was done the next day. The entire process went very quickly - with fees and charges exactly as quoted on the website. I set up auto pay with my bank and I get a monthly statement that clearly states principal and interest paid. I would not hesitate to recommend Amerisave.
Thanks! We are very glad you chose us!

I've refinanced my mortgage twice with Amerisave. Their rates and closing costs are unbeatable to go along with their exceptional service. On both occasions, Amerisave reps were very professional and were able to close my loan on time with no problems along the way. I recommend: (1) Cleaning up your credit score before you even start the loan process. The higher your score, the better rate and lower closing costs you'll get; (2) Getting all documentation together that they require, scan it, and send it to them as soon as you can; and (3) Review your loan status online and promptly respond to any requests that they may make. I would recommend them to anyone!

Amerisave did a great job handling my loan. My bank could not match the interest rate I received through Amerisave. The whole process start to finish from the time I locked in my rate went quickly and only too around three weeks. My loan processor and financial reviewers were quick to respond and processed all the documents I uploaded quickly. The loan was ready to close before the date we originally thought it could because Amerisave did the paperwork so fast. Everyone we worked with at Amerisave was courteous and professional.

We had a very good experience with AmeriSave. Great service, prompt replies to questions, a second, better servicer assigned when our initial loan application reviewer noticed our first servicer was not matched right for us - we didn't even have to ask, best rate by far compared to any others at the time we were looking, and we were able to do our payments as an automatic debit.

I started a refinance with Amerisave in December of 2012. After a few emails, we started getting down to business. Interest rates were the lowest I had ever seen for a home loan and we locked in the rate of 2.25% for 45 days. I refinanced the entire amount including closing cost. The closing agent came to my home and completed the closing in about an hour. Bottom Line is Amerisave delivered their promised rate in 34 days and I will save $191,000.00 over the life of the loan. I highly recommend a 15-year loan if at all possible and I highly recommend Amerisave. They did deliver to me as promised. Since then, my loan has been sold to JP Morgan Chase. They also have been excellent to deal with. Thanks to all those who helped from start to finish.

The process we went through to refinance our house was all via email and electronic uploads which was very convenient. That said, some of the documentation requested made no sense at all and required me to essentially perjure myself to complete the process. I got the impression that the mortgage "counselors" or whatever they were called were being force to act as form pushers and box checkers. If you can ignore the annoying parts, the rates were good enough to make it worth the hassle.

Overall experience front start to finish was not bad. Initially the response from my agents to my questions was slow and at times not answered. But as the deadline towards the closing approached, the responses were more timely. Some of the requirements for loan approval were so silly that it made no sense to me; but I chalked it up to an industry that has been in the spotlight for approving loans that should not have been approved, as well as to internal company turnover of agents working my application in the middle of the process, which added about an extra week of delay. All in all, though the experience was not bad considering it was all done online (except for the actual closing). There weren't really any surprises (fees and costs not initially declared) when it was all said and done. I would recommend them for your refinance needs.

Our desire was to refinance at the lower interest rate that was available. Time was of the essence because the rates had bottomed out and were beginning to rise. We contacted the lender which held our current mortgage, and to our dismay with a 700+ credit rating, they said all we qualified for was a reverse mortgage. After trying a couple more companies without much success we were in touch with Amerisave, and they assured us that we could refinance through them, and at a lower rate than we had hoped for. I was amazed at the ease of the whole process. The Amerisave personnel we dealt with were pleasant and helpful, and guided us through the entire refinance in less than a month. Thanks Amerisave!

This is my second refinance with Amerisave. I watched the rates and locked in my terms after watching their website daily. The process went smoothly, and my loan closed within 30 days. I have seen many negative comments about Amerisave. Before applying for a loan with Amerisave or anyone else, you should know your credit score and have a general idea of what your home is worth. Also, you need to be able to check your e-mail at least once every day and provide them with all of the documents they request. Make sure you have access to your tax returns, insurance policy, paycheck stubs, bank statements, and any other documents they ask you for.
You need to also check the status of your loan which is constantly updated. They tell you what they have received and what they need. The appraisal will be ordered within a day or so of you applying, so you need to be organized. By doing all of this work, I was rewarded with a 20 year refinance at 3.375%. I could not be happier and have recommended Amerisave to three friends and family who have also refinanced with them. I have always looked for lower rates and have never found any company that could compete. Plus, you see what your fees will be PRIOR to picking your loan!

Amerisave refinanced my home loan at rates exceedingly better than any competitor I found on-line. Mr. Shaun **, Senior Processor and Ms. Valerie **, Processor did an excellent job closing my loan in 30 days from application to funding (on a 45 day lock). I would gladly use Amerisave again and have already recommended them to others.
By way of background I had attempted to refinance my house with absolutemortgageco.com in Nov 12 at a low rate. After 30 days they had not even sent the loan to underwriting and were asking for more money to extend my lock. Not a good experience.
After this bad experience, I started looking around for a different lender in early Jan 13. Amerisave was advertising fantastic rates, so I started reading their reviews on-line. Standout complaints included not getting loan through underwriting to closing; as well as underwriting asking numerous ridiculous questions (conditions) multiple times, with weeks transpiring between replies, thereby delaying closings. Additionally, Amerisave had just settled a class action suit for charging for appraisals before approving their loans. Apparently, they would disapprove locking the loan after the appraisal came. I was not looking to be a named plaintiff in a class action lawsuit! I just wanted to refinance at a lower rate.
I went on Amerisave’s on-line chat and started asking questions about their practice. After lengthy e-mail exchanges with Craig **, Amerisave, Sr. Mortgage Processor, I was assured that Amerisave had hired additional underwriters and were closing loans within the lock period. So, I went on-line to apply for a loan with Amerisave. Here is my experience.
[NOTE: Throughout the process I never once spoke with anyone at Amerisave but communicated extensively through e-mail and their on-line system.]
On Jan 14, I went to Amerisave.com and plugged in the information and hit search. [TIP: When you go to Amerisave’s website make sure you “personalize” your search to reflect your credit score. Their rates are very credit score sensitive and their system defaults you to an 800 score.] After finding a rate I was very excited about, I clicked the apply button and completed a short on-line application. When I completed the application, I was asked to pay $9 for a credit report. My credit score came back at what I expected. After paying for the credit report, the system told me I was “pre-qualified.” [NOTE: pre-qualification does not lock your loan.]
I e-mailed Craig ** and told him I just applied for a loan and asked when I could lock. Shortly thereafter I received an e-mail from Shaun ** directing me to go on-line where I was asked to complete a formal application and upload supporting documents - 29 documents in my case. Since I had just applied with absolutemortgageco (a lender I recommend you avoid like the plague) I already had the bulk of these documents scanned and in pdf format. [TIP: Scan your financial documents (past 2 years W-2, tax returns, past two months account statements, pay stubs, insurance declaration pages, mortgage statement, property tax bills, etc. prior to applying for an Amerisave loan.]
Even with the bulk of the documents scanned, I spent 4 hours that evening completing the application, scanning additional documents, answering questions about credit report inquiries, and uploading documents. [TIP: When answering Amerisave’s questions I repeated their question and tried to use the shortest answer possible e.g., "Regarding Equifax Credit Inquiry on 2012-11-14 from CREDCHECKERS: No idea who CREDCHECKS are, however I was shopping for refi loan for this property in mid-Nov 12. Assume this was pulled by you or a different lender I shopped with. No new credit was received.” Signed me.]
The next day, Jan 15, I e-mailed Mr ** asking when I could lock since all my documents were uploaded and I really wanted the advertised rate. He told me my documents would have to go through a review first. About that same time the system prompted me to pay $550 for an appraisal fee. I paid the fee (with great hesitation, based on the class action suit against Amerisave.)
After paying the appraisal fee I e-mailed Mr ** again. Shortly thereafter I noticed my loan was showing it was locked on-line. It may have been that because on Jan 15 fees ticked down (in my favor) a bit and they were happy to pick me up at the higher fees. I was O.K. with that rate I applied for so did not press for the lower number. (Anyway, since Jan 15, rates and fees continued to increase.)
After getting locked, I then started e-mailing Mr ** about getting (1) a processor appointed and (2) this loan to underwriting. I was told they needed the appraisal first. The appraiser contacted me via an automatic e-mail system, and we set a date for a Jan 18 inspection of the property. There was no issue with the appraisal and it came in on Jan 23, over the amount I had told Amerisave what my house was worth.
[TIP: When you go to Amerisave’s website make sure you “personalize” your search to reflect your home value during the application process. I intentionally put the value at about 94% of what I thought the property was worth based on other sales. It was a good thing I did because it came in at 98% of what I thought was the actual value. By putting a value lower than 100% on the property I believe I saved any problem with Amerisave changing the loan terms because of the appraisal was lower than what I thought my house was worth.]
After the appraisal, on Jan 25, Ms ** was assigned as my processor and I received notice on-line requesting 14 different documents and questions that underwriting needed. Some of the requested items were previously provided, I just resent them. About a quarter of the documents focused on my child’s condo 1500 miles away. I got hold of my child and got the requested documents (condo fee, insurance, tax info, etc); and, included a statement that this is my child’s primary residence. I had everything uploaded by Jan 28 and began asking Ms ** when I could expect approval for underwriting.
On Jan 31, four more underwriter requests popped up on-line, primary for previously provided documents and about my child’s condo. (I thought - oh no, here we go with the underwriting back and forth folks complained about on-line.) I was able to upload the requested information that day and again e-mailed about the underwriting status. My loan was back in underwriting by Feb 4. I was almost shocked on Feb 7 when the on-line program showed that underwriting had approved my loan. (I really was expecting more questions and answers, based on what I read on-line.)
From there my closing was set for Feb 15. Prior to closing I keep in e-mail contact with Valerie ** and my closing agent to make sure everything was set for closing. At closing my agent told me how good Amerisave was to work with and that Amerisave had sent them the funds that morning so everything would disperse (payout) right after I signed the closing documents. I read and signed the closing documents and closed without a hitch.
I will say that I was hyper-vigilant on this loan (based on my bad experience with absolutemortgageco - avoid them at all cost). I kept daily e-mail contact, even if just to “check status” and made a point to get Amerisave any requested document or answer any questions within 24 hours and e-mail them when I uploaded documents. [TIP: Do not get upset over (1) strange requests (e.g., child’s condo info) or (2) repeated requests (e.g., asking for insurance agent contact info three times - after the third time I took the additional step to give my insurance agent Amerisave’s contact info and asked her to contact Amerisave)]
Finally, in every e-mail I sent, I sincerely thanked the folks at Amerisave for their help in working to close my loan within the lock period. All said Amerisave did a truly great job closing this loan in a timely manner at a fantastic rate.
Thank you so much for the compliments! It was our pleasure to help!

I have done several closings with Amerisave. When things go smoothly, they are very good. When things don't go smoothly, they are okay. I must say that generally they follow through on their commitments, though they sometimes miss dates and deadlines. However, my last experience with them left me very dissatisfied, as they were late on everything, and after 45 days, swapped the loan from a 2nd home mortgage to an investment home mortgage, which caused my rate and closing costs to go up significantly. Their position was it was their policy based on the 2nd home proximity to my primary home that they had to consider it an investment home mortgage - my problem is that the homes did not pick up and move location from the 1st day of my application where the addresses were supplied.
Why did they wait 45 days, and numerous out-of-pocket costs, to indicate the loan had to be an investment home mortgage. In the end, it was a financial loser for me to refinance, and the loan never closed. Amerisave was "sorry", but really just quoted me policy as to why I was out $500, and had no loan I could close without losing more money.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! There may have been risk factors in regards to the property type that prevented the loan from being qualified. We apologize if this was the case, and if it was not disclosed in a timely manner. Please contact us at customerservice@amerisave.com if you wish to receive further explanation on the situation.

I am glad to give a good recommendation to Amerisave Mortgage Co. I had previously been working with Bank of America to refinance my current mortgage, a process that had been going on for over 5 months. I wanted to take advantage of the current low interest rates. I had been with them for more than 10 years and had many accounts with them. They made it very difficult to complete the loan/refi with them and were very slow in responding to emails and phone calls.
I heard of Amerisave through a friend, after hearing me complain of my situation with BOA. Amerisave responded to my emailed request with a phone call within a few hours and after checking out the preliminary information, they started the process. My appraisal was completed within a week, from start to finish and everything else was done online. I liked the idea of a loan specialist being available by phone, Josh, who was very knowledgeable, and the whole process was done in less than 3 months, which included the Christmas holidays.
I appreciate all that Amerisave did to help the loan go through and I would highly recommend (and have done so) their services to my friends.

We used Amerisave to refinance the mortgage on our primary home into a 15-yr fixed rate.

Ultimately, we ended up with a rate that is 2.00% lower than our prior rate (which was on a 30-year mortgage), which will save about $150,000 in interest over the life of the loan, and we spent less than 10 hours total, in terms of sending in the requested paperwork, etc. That's a pretty good use of time!

At that time it did not seem like the right thing to do. Every so often from then on, I would get an email from Grant telling me the rates at that time. As rates got lower in early 2013, I started looking for a loan and got a rate quote from one of your competitors and started working with them. Just as I was ready to commit to them, I got an email from Grant that seems better than what I was getting. I called him and things were put in motion. Things went fairly smoothly. Some documents were asked for twice which was disappointing but no great problem. Grant turned me over to a processor, Rene **, who was outstanding to work with. I could not have been happier about working with her. From my first contact with Grant to approval, it was three weeks and closed within 4 weeks of that same first contact. Having processed mortgages years ago, I really appreciated the great job they did.
Thank you for your Feedback!

I would highly recommend Amerisave. They had the best of everything - Interest rate excellent, you get to pick the loan that best suits your situation. They made it so easy to transmit all info to them by uploading it directly to their website. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and helpful. Best of all, the entire process from first contact to loan closing was completed in one calendar month - Phenomenal! Amerisave is head and shoulders above the numerous other loan companies I've dealt with over the years.
Great! Our team are very happy that were able to help you with the entire process. Thanks for choosing Amerisave!

It seems like other folks' experiences vary, but for what it's worth I had a good one. My rep was helpful, explained everything, was a frequent communicator, and even worked to get me the best pricing when I asked for it. In the end, I got a very good interest rate and paid nothing for the refinance.

I have refinanced twice with AmeriSave and they exceeded my expectations both times. Their rates were excellent, their online system was easy to use, and their in-home closings were very convenient. The reason they exceeded my expectations, however, is that both times I had issues getting the loan package I wanted, and both times they made accommodations so that I got the loan package I wanted. This is the kind of service I expect (but don't really get) from the bank with whom I have a longer and deeper relationship, and I certainly didn't expect to get it from a heavily online operation like AmeriSave. I give AmeriSave a very positive rating precisely because they provided this type of service.
We appreciate your compliments! Thanks for choosing us!

Raised my closing costs double halfway through the mortgage process! Had I known that they were going to do this I would not have used them. But I had a contract on the property and did not have time to secure another mortgage in time before closing. Asked for more information on every piece of information I sent them. Constantly bombard you with providing more information that you have already provided.
Interrogate you on everything you send them, like you are some criminal lying to them on everything provided. So much in fact that I almost lost the house that I had a contract on because they kept dragging the process out. I finally did get the loan just in time after calling the mortgage loan officers supervisor and complaining about the poor service. I have an excellent credit rating and I was put through the ringer. Would never do this again.
We apologize for any inconvenience. We strive to make the loan process as swift as possible, while continuing to abide by lending regulations. Thank you for your feedback!

I got figures for re-financing our mortgage from 5 or so outfits, and the best rate was by Amerisave. I had an interesting time trying to sort out the various figures, but even including closing costs, their interest rate was low enough to make a difference. I did feel some confusion after the closing about whether I received all that was coming back to me from the prior mortgage company, so that if I had it to do over again, I'd keep better records.

Working with Amerisave was easy, quick and painless. They gave the best rates I could find and everything until closing was done via protected internet. If rates dive again, below my already very low mortgage, I would certainly go back to Amerisave without question.

Amerisave did just what one hopes, and now expects, from arranging for financing via the web. All emails were promptly answered. All answers were intelligent and intelligible. Nothing I asked was ignored or dismissed. At no time did I feel like I was just another number. Lots of loan choices so we found just what we needed. I do recommend them.

I have refinanced at least eight times over my life and this was by far the best experience ever. You can follow the entire process online and the communication was absolutely fabulous. My loan closed on time and at the rate I requested. I have recommended AmeriSave and will continue to do so and if I find myself refinancing again, AmeriSave will be my choice, a Five-Star Company.

I've used Amerisave to purchase a vacation home, and then refinance it. I very much like the paperless, do everything transparently on a website that Amerisave uses. Their system of tracking the status of your process is excellent - you get to see where you are at an instant. Amerisave also offers savings if you use their Title company - with that, I had a less than stellar experience. The problem is they open escrow after you are supposed to provide the earnest money deposit. Cooperation from another title company is required.
The final paper signing was also problematic - the hired person was not very professional on the purchase, but it was very good on the refinance, meeting us at home. The web operation also allows instant quotes for an extremely broad set of circumstances, allowing you to shop very conveniently without having to catch someone at their office. The person assigned to help you in the beginning is very responsive, appearing not to sleep at all by the rate at which email is answered. I tried to use Amerisave again for an investment property purchase - here I was disappointed. I found out too late in the game that Amerisave would not fund my purchase because it was a flip with less than 6 months after sale. I had to scramble to get another lender, AFR, who was not as good as Amerisave in closing in the end.
Overall, I think Amerisave is great if they fund what you want to buy - I would go with a local title company and avoid the hassle with using Linear Title, their affiliate (yes, you do save a couple hundred if you use Linear Title, but it's not worth it).
Thank you for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated!

I have refinanced with Amerisave twice in the past year. Both times were great experiences, from start nearly to finish.
I learned about Amerisave via a website, Mortgage Professor, which provided me information and leads to the best rates. Each time, Amerisave was among the best rates. (The second time I refinanced, Amerisave was not the lowest rate, but it was very close, and so I decided to refinance with Amerisave anyway due to my fantastic prior experience.)
I dealt with the same senior banker, Dee Ann **, both times I worked with Amerisave. One of the reasons that I went back to Amerisave was my confidence that Dee Ann would do right by me. Both times she was fantastic. She always responded promptly to my concerns and helped push the process along when it got down. There were some delays the first time I used Amerisave, due to a backlog at origination and also some additional questions they needed to ask me, but ultimately we got through the process fine. My loan processor, Janet **, also was particularly good the second time around. Both Janet and Dee Ann were extremely prompt in responding to me, which I appreciated.
After working with Amerisave twice, I am sold on doing my refis entirely online. I do not have time to go downtown to meet in person with a banker, and I absolutely loved the way I could upload all of my forms in PDF. The process was so fast because there were no needless formalities. And while I never met Janet and Dee Ann in person, I did feel like I got to know them, and they were on my side, because we corresponded so regularly. I don't know if everyone who works at Amerisave is this diligent, but if so, it's a great company. I would certainly do another refinance loan with them (well...if and when rates go lower!).
We thank you for allowing us to provide your service!
