    The application process was fairly easy. I'm a professional so I'm used to stuff like that. So it wasn't daunting in that way. But if I wasn't familiar with it, it would have been a little overwhelming because I didn't receive a lot of direction on what to do and how to do it. I just pulled on my knowledge from last year. My loan officer was dealing with her son who had kidney failure. So I tried to give some grace on that. But unfortunately, there was not any time when she initiated a call to me and said she would send me documents to sign or schedule a time so we could go over them. So there was no contact like that. I happened to realize that I was calling her on her cellphone and not her office phone.

    I was not trying to call her cell at all hours of the night. But I work throughout the day and sometimes I don't think of questions until in the evening. So I would call her, thinking that I was gonna get her voicemail. But then she would answer the phone and it would always feel like a rushed conversation. It was like she wasn't letting me get my questions out. It never felt easy. She said, "You were calling me and I wouldn't be at my computer. So, I couldn't answer your questions exactly." But I told her that at any time, she could have told me that I could call on her office phone tomorrow and we could go over it.

    I would find a discrepancy on the form but I wouldn't necessarily get the new application with the correction. I would just be told, "It will be fixed on your closing document." I never wanted to feel as if I was misleading on any applications concerning anything, especially a mortgage application. So when someone is going through this process, they should make sure that they're matched up with a loan officer that is able to really cater to their needs and what they need as a consumer. This is a really long, stressful, complicated process and you have to have someone that you feel is on your team.

    The application process with Fairway went by fairly quickly. There were some questions because I just moved in state and has a new job but other than that, it was easy. The deal was a lot higher than my previous mortgage but with the increase in rates, it was nationwide. It was understandable.

    The rep that I worked with at Fairway was awesome. Any question I had, she was right on it. Also, the application process was really simple. It took a while to get through all the approvals, but that’s just normal. I recommend Fairway to anyone.

    We used Fairway to buy our last house, we refinanced through them, and we just used them to purchase a new house. They're awesome. They were able to get us in a rate lock and we wouldn't have been able to buy our house without their help. We have nothing but good things to say about Mandy, my lender, and her team. I give other people Mandy's number all the time.

    Everything from application to closing went fairly quickly with Fairway. I was satisfied with the communication. The people I was dealing with, the information I got, the process, and the time that it took went fairly well.

    My first-time home buying experience with Fairway was easy compared to all the horror stories that I've heard because of the way that everything worked smoothly. Everything came in sections, which made it easiest. It was a step-by-step process instead of just a ton of paperwork and everything all at once until we did the final closing. It was amazing working with Fairway.

    Gina, the rep, was incredible. I've recommended two people to her and I wouldn't do that unless I knew that they were in good hands. I was calling her all the time, asking her a million questions and she answered every question. She was very patient and understanding. Nothing was inconvenient. They gave you an allotted amount of time to submit certain documents. And if I didn't have those documents right away because I was waiting for my boss or whoever to send something else in, they were very patient. It was a very smooth and understanding process instead of them just looking at you like you're a number.

    The application was easier than I thought. I was happy with my experience with them. Morty was the rep who started my home-buying process but sometimes his secretary takes a long time to get back to me with information. I asked her if he could improve on that a little bit. The rate and terms I received are good. It's a little longer than I would like it to be but we'll work through that when the time comes.

    The application process was super easy. Our loan officer was really helpful. I got a competitive rate. They provided feedback and insight into the numbers behind the interest rate we were given. It was an educational process.

    While our broker was very nice, he got under our skin really quickly. We are in our forties, not first time home buyers, and he only referred to us as “kiddo,” except for when I was asking questions, then it was “sweetheart.” No. More importantly, the initial loan we were offered had a high APR. We were told it was because rates were going up. In 15 minutes we found better interest rates and lower origination fees on both Rocket Mortgage and Better.com. Fairway tried to match what we found but we knew our loan would be sold from random bank to random bank, especially in this unstable market. We found that Rocket offered the best rates and services the loan, so no bouncing around. So if you need more hand holding for going through the mortgage process, maybe an online company is not for you. But we wanted the best deal and we're fine doing some of the footwork to get it online.
