I needed a house to move into and I went with the Gateway Mortgage for an FHA loan. My real estate agent was a friend of one of the Gateway workers, so they both helped me get the house and the application and closing process took two weeks to complete. It was good and I liked it. The loan officer I worked with, Heidi, was also great. She was calm, helpful, and patient. I'm really happy right now because I found my home, so Gateway helped me a lot.

I appreciated all of the communication and explanations by Josh. He was quick to respond and never seemed annoyed at explaining details to me. There were only a couple of instances where a different department or a third-party would contact me asking for immediate responses, which I felt could have been more organized and better communicated (in advance) to me. That part felt stressful, but Josh ** was very good at making things work out smoothly. I would highly recommend him.

I enjoyed working with the Gateway Mortgage group. I felt as though I was part of their family. Stephen, Melody and Jason helped me with every aspect and helped steer me into qualify for my loan quickly. Even though the underwriter was tough they made things seem so easy with their guidance and personal involvement with me. This was the best experience that I've had so far in purchasing a house.

This is the easiest company experience that I have ever had to comment on. My wife and I were discussing that of the nine houses that we have purchased through the years this was by far the smoothest and easiest one ever.

Our experience with Gateway was excellent. We bought a new home and it was a first home purchase. Gateway was really excellent in helping me through the process, that's why I went with them and got a mortgage. With my credit situation, I was kinda nervous about it. But they made it happen, and that was the best thing. It was pretty easy to get hold of their rep, too. Just sent them an email, and they responded pretty quickly when they were not busy. The rate and terms were perfect as well. It was exactly what I needed to know. Everything was good. The only hiccup I ran into was they kinda messed up on the closing cost. It was $600 more. But other than that, there was no other problem.

Gateway Mortgage should be the company you use for your mortgage needs. Their customer service is impeccable and far exceeds any other mortgage groups. You'll receive a weekly call from them checking on the status of your home, address any concerns and/or questions, and just let you know the status of your mortgage process.

As a previous local business owner, I always appreciated when clients took the time to share their experiences with me personally and via searchable business review resources. The good was always encouraging and the bad was an opportunity to reevaluate and learn. Our first lending experience with Gateway was fantastic. Our lending representative did a wonderful job guiding us through the loan application process all the way to closing. We not only enjoyed the experience, but we loved supporting other local corporations making a positive economic impact in our community.
However, our most recent experience has been frustrating to say the least. In our now five home purchases, this has been the worst lending experience we’ve encountered. Our representative and team have not communicated clearly with us, shifted blame for many issues that have come up and in the end created an almost three week delay from the original closing date expected. This may seem trivial, except for when you have a seller who is eager to move on and buyers who have lost three weeks of time that we could have spent renovating. The financial cost to us is equivalent to another month’s rent and future displacement.
I understand real estate regulations have changed this year and appreciate compliance. For example, the 72 hour mandatory delay from the time disclosure documents are signed to the actual closing. So many changes were made in an untimely fashion that resulted in numerous date changes and unfulfilled promises of communication and/or paperwork delivery. If everything had been properly reviewed by the tile company or Gateway in a timely order without major oversight, we wouldn’t have lost so much valuable time.
We were given false promises and realistic expectations were not properly communicated. We had many instances where we didn’t receive requested information or even a simple phone call as promised and we have had to aggressively manage every step to get anything accomplished. The consistent excuses were blamed and shifted to other parties or simply “Gateway” as our representative often said. Gateway has not only lost a future customer in us, they have also lost a valuable referral resource to friends and family they once had.

Overall, my experience with Gateway was good. That happened a lot quicker than what I thought it was possible and it was a lot smoother, too. And from what I’ve heard from other people that bought homes, it was kind of a hectic, frustrating process, but it wasn’t. I didn't feel that way. Their process was good. It was just up to me to get the documents as fast as I could. The documents were sent to underwriting a week and a half before my closing date. I was late on getting some documents they were needing.

We refinanced our last home with Gateway and recently purchased a new home also with Gateway. Jeff ** was our loan officer and was hands down The best loan officer we’ve had. Overall experience has been wonderful! The only downside is after closing, we get an EXCESSIVE amount of junk mail for mortgage insurance etc due to Gateway sharing our information. The same thing happened previously when we refinanced. There is an opt-out form and I called to opt-out, but for their customers sake, this should never happen.

Gateway Mortgage started off brilliant and strong, and they get all your information. The loan processor was awesome. Where we ran into issues was with communication on the back end with the underwriter. She asked for the same multiple things multiple times. It didn’t matter how many times I’ve sent it to her. She kept saying it was wrong even though I’m sending the same thing multiple times. And her communication sucked. At the very end, when I was at the title company getting everything done, there was some fees that weren’t disclosed in her emails that she knew about a week prior to me closing and then didn’t communicate them until I was already at the title place to pay off the down payment money. I was very unhappy with the underwriter. But I believe it was also part of Gateway. Their communication needs to improve because I’m one who plans and has contingency plans for everything.
My biggest frustration with them was the things that they didn’t communicate financially affected me. The way that they didn’t explain the closing cost very clearly, even in the paperwork, was not very clear. I had to call multiple times in order to get any information on what I was actually paying and what was gonna be my portion, which was higher than originally anticipated. Now, again, because I’m a planner, it wasn’t a big deal. I had the money, and it wasn’t anything that was gonna stop me from going through with it.
My problem was I was more prepared than they were. I had everything that they needed. I got preapproved with them, but when it came down to the nitty-gritty, they failed. We did end up closing. But I had to leave the closing to go get the money or for the additional fees that were undisclosed to me prior to me being at the closing process. And what was gonna be my portion of the closing cost, the down payment and all those things were significantly higher than it was originally discussed. They threw it in at the end and raised the price by about $2,500.
Because of the way that they explained it, my earnest money was covering that $2,500 because that was what I put down in earnest on the house and, instead, what had happened was it was $2,500 as the earnest money, and then another 5,000 on top of that as my portion of the down payment, plus the down payment assistance, plus closing cost, which is where the extra $2,500 magically appeared. And I didn’t understand any of that because of how it was communicated originally.
My other complaint is in order to process the loan with Gateway Mortgage, because it was an FHA loan, you have to go through a credit counselling thing, which is another cost that was not explained upfront because you have to pay for that course. And then, when you take that course, it should be taken at the beginning, before you get prequalified. That should be a pre-qualifier because taking it after I’ve already gone prequalified, after I’m already into my last final 10 days of closing, is not when I should be taking quizzes on whether or not I’m prepared for a mortgage. It was good information in there, but that would have been nice to have when I was prequalifying because if anybody is actually serious about buying a house, then they need to have that information at the beginning, so they don’t get stuck in a loan that is not fair to them or improperly serviced. So, Gateway's process is messed up.
There’s nothing they can really do to make it better at this point. I’m gonna pay them the money that we’ve agreed to, but I’m not satisfied with their communication through the homebuying process. I love my house, but the process was beyond frustrating. Even my Realtor has said that she’s not going to refer anybody to them again because of how bad it was.

Our loan officer, Josh, told us that the process was gonna be really easy and for the first couple of weeks, it was. We just took all of our paperwork and information up there and gave it to them. Then, he ran through the numbers with us and told us what to expect for our payments and how long it would take. He would sit down and explain things to us. He was great and he helped us a lot.
But after a while, I kinda got a little bit disappointed with them because we would take on information and instead of telling us what else we needed at that moment, they would wait two weeks before telling us what they needed to the point where we almost ended up having to push our closing date back because they forgot some of the paperwork. But now, we've got it all settled and it worked out. Everything's good but we had to be on top of things.
Other than that, I like the online application process. It was easy for us to read through their website and it laid things out for us that we could understand the process without having to talk to anybody about it. But the application and underwriting process ended up taking two months and it would have been better if they would have been more on top of things.

Gateway Mortgage financed my house originally so I chose them to refinance my home to get a lower interest rate and a lower payment. I did get my payment lowered and a lower interest rate but I was promised things that didn’t happen. My experience with them sucks. I was supposed to get March and April with no payments. Then, they sent me a statement saying that I owed nothing in April, but it was for my old loan. They called me last week and said that I was delinquent on a payment. I told them I got a bill from them saying that I don’t owe anything for April. They said they will have to check on it but when I called, they did not call me back.
By the time I got ahold of them, I figured out there was something wrong because I had two bills with different account numbers. I told them that it was their problem. I was told to send them the piece of paper which I did but I still never heard anything from them. So, I had to make last month’s payment and this month’s payment within a week period. I was not happy at all. This happened last week and they never called me back. I even had the guy’s name and left a message. I talked to this girl who said that there was nothing they could do. They sent me the bill and there’s gotta be something they could do. When I get a bill, I look at it but I do not have account numbers memorized. I asked the rep if I gotta make a payment to which she replied that they will waive the late fees which were 28 bucks.
So, I gotta come up with two grand in five days and that ain’t right. They wouldn’t call me back and wouldn’t work with me. So, I had to take money out of my savings account to make two payments. I did it less the late fee because I sure wouldn’t gonna pay it except if they sent me something that said I didn’t owe any money anyway. I’m not happy with the closing because I was supposed to get $1,700 back on closing. It was what the agent told me but I got 1,000 back. I got one month with no payments because the paperwork ran too long in February, so I had to pay February coming up to March. So, I missed out of one free month’s. It was what was promised, but it wasn’t on the contract. They are going by the contract.
I told them that they all need to make sure that when they are doing a loan refinance, I don’t send anything out with the old loan up as it is dead long before they sent me the bill. So, why did they send me a bill for zero on my old loan number? I thought it was the new loan because I was due for two months. I’m not happy with Gateway at all and I’ll get away from them as soon as I get the opportunity. I told them that I’m gonna go somewhere and get refinanced again. They never called me back. The whole application process took a couple of months from beginning to closing and it was difficult too because of their computer program. I had to do it on the phone because I don’t have a computer and it is very impossible to read the stuff on the phone. Gateway should quit relying on computers so much because not everybody got one.

That, of course, opened up a whole new wave of things that they needed. Day after day, week after week, they come up with new information that doesn't jive with whatever the underwriter wanted. Even down to the week of closing, they were still asking for more information.
I was told that we could close early, before I would go on my trip, but that didn't happen. So I was dealing with everything when I was in China and Thailand. It was not a good experience. It was very stressful. Gateway should figure out how they communicate with whoever is selling the loan and whoever is underwriting more clearly in-house so that it's not continually on the borrower. Also, I talked to numerous other companies as well as the accountants with the title company and they were all shocked at how deep Gateway had to go prove I was qualified.

It only took a week and Gateway definitely helped along with providing me phone numbers to call for verification, what kind of forms that they needed and documentation.
The VA home loan is a little more particular as far as the underwriting, so they had a weekly update in the beginning and as we got closer and closer to closing, they worked with me almost on an everyday basis, which was cool. An itemized list of forms, paperwork and documentation should have been provided at the beginning though to make it easier for me because then I could've been more prepared on who I was gonna call and what I was gonna get. But it was still done in a really timely fashion. Gateway Mortgage was phenomenal. It was a stressful time and there were pages and pages of paperwork but the fact that they would take my phone calls and they would respond with me via text messages when I was at work was handy. If I'm not at my phone, I don't have to try to find the time to listen to a voicemail. I'm able to look at a text message quickly and then respond accordingly. That was above and beyond.
The company’s reps were personable, super professional and they have a nice building. The rep I worked with, Aaron, took the time to call me and discuss my loan process before it was even at the underwriting process when he was out-of-town on a personal matter. At first, I felt bad when he mentioned that but he told me that it was totally fine. He also would contact me on a Sunday which was amazing. I'd recommend Gateway Mortgage to friends and families. Working with this company got me in a house and I'm a homeowner now.

My experience with Gateway was great from start to finish. The mortgage was for a new home construction and the underwriting and application process was very easy. It was fairly smooth overall but took several months. Part of that was a little bit of waiting on taxes to get completed but no major lender issues.

We bought a rental property as an investment and turned to Gateway for our mortgage. I have a very good relationship with the mortgage lender, Stephanie. As a real estate agent, I was very familiar with the process and I do a lot of business with her. I talk to her on a daily basis. She is a hard-worker and she answers the phone night and day. She's also very detailed about everything and things are explained very well. I will always go through Stephanie for any home loan in the future, as long as she's at Gateway. Working with them, everything went well and the process wasn’t that hard.

It was my second time buying a house and Gateway Mortgage got recommended to me by the girl who helped me in buying the house. She wanted me to get with Candy, the loan officer, so I got a hold of her. She was really nice and I didn’t wanna make any changes after that. The online application was very easy and I got approved quickly. Candy was the one who helped me out and it was a good experience. Every time I called her cellphone, she was able to help me out on any questions and she was always there to give me an advice, so she did a great job.
When I was working on the process, it was really easy to call and really easy to get a hold of someone. It took me a couple of weeks to complete the application and get it done and closed. I was able to sell my house in a month and a half and I was already approved to buy another house. I liked Gateway. It was a good environment and I hope that I can get ahead of this one. I would definitely consider Gateway for the one helping us out again.

I came across Gateway Mortgage through our realtor. She highly recommended them and Mike, whom she just worked with in the past. She highly suggested him, so we went with him, and everything was awesome. He did a great job explaining everything and walking us through the whole process. He expedited it for us because we were on a bit of a timeline.
We did a conventional loan program. We just had to set up some initial info and do the credit check. One of the coolest parts for me was that it was all digital, so I didn’t have to fax in anything. I could just upload it to the portal that they have and it ended up linking bank accounts. One of the things that we’ve done in previous loans was I would print out a bank statement, then a couple of months later, the same people would come back and say that they need the bank statement. It got super repetitive and annoying, but I didn’t have to do any of that with Gateway. They were on top of it all and the portal really helped out. It was the smoothest mortgage process that I have ever been a part of
The loan officer rode that balance between being super helpful and being super annoying and pressing like, “Hey, just touching base, touching base.” I didn’t get a million and a half emails, but he was always available when I had a question. Anytime he needed to do some digging, he got back to me within a super short period of time. It was very evident that anytime he needed to dig for something, it wasn’t like, “Yeah, I’ll definitely dig for that,” and then I had to track him down a week and a half later. He was very obvious and he would say he was gonna get it done, and he did it in a very timely manner. He was super polite and was a really nice guy. He was very knowledgeable about what it was that he was doing. I couldn’t recommend him more.
I would tell others to consider going through Gateway for a loan. They handled everything very well and very professionally. This is the third loan that we’ve done. The first one we did was with a little branch in a small town that we lived in and the most recent one that we did in North Carolina was with Wells Fargo, and it was a freaking nightmare. Gateway blew my mind. I never realized that a mortgage loan process could be as easy as it was until we went with them. I would tell somebody, “110%, go with them.” I’ve already referred Mike to a couple of friends in the DFW area that are looking to buy a home as well.

My realtor recommended Gateway to us and they were really helpful. I did the process online and I gave whatever information Blair needed. He was able to answer a lot of questions since I'd never done this before. He gave me his personal cellphone number so if I had any other extra question, I could call him after-hours. He made sure that if I didn't understand something, it would be easy to approach him and get those answered. We got pre-approved in September, but they repre-approved us and did all that stuff in it. It wasn't very long and we put an offer in right away. I recommend my friends to them.

We were buying our first home, and we got a RD loan from Gateway Mortgage. Everybody told me that buying a house was a nightmare, but their process was easier than buying a car, and it was streamlined. Our realtor referred us to Gateway. I called him and he did the initial credit check. After that we were approved for a certain amount and we started the paperwork.
Their application and closing process took 30 days. The representatives were very quick to get the process going. They were genuinely interested in helping get us the loan to get us moving down the road. If we have a concern about anything, they would do the interaction for us, then they would contact us and tell me what's going on. If we didn’t agree or they didn’t agree, they would speak on our behalf and make sure that it was fair and honest. The loan officer was very pleasant and there was always a prompt response. If we had questions, they were always quick to call us back or explain stuff to us. I would use Gateway again. I have recommended them to some of my family already. I would tell to friends of mine that Gateway will work with them and that they had their best interest at heart.
