    I've been wanting to buy a house so I applied for a mortgage. I looked up HomeDirect Mortgage on the internet and they had good reviews. Everything looked good. The loan process was simple, streamlined, and easy and I was happy with it. Aspen took care of us and she was great at making everything happen the way we needed it to happen. I had recommended somebody who also got a loan through HomeDirect.

    It was time to buy a house and I was applying for a VA loan. The website I used came up with the lowest rate from multiple offers and companies. And the loan agent from HomeDirect was very responsive. Initially, I sent out some emails and asked questions: closing times, information required, if they provided VA loans, if they had a float period or a lock-in date, and closing procedures.

    My mortgage officer was Ryan and he provided phenomenal service. He answered all the questions in a timely fashion and was very thorough with his answers. If the training is consistent across the company, then I would assume that all the other mortgage officers would be the same way. And I have used Navy Federal, USAA, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. And this one was absolutely the smoothest to process. I don't know if its more of a function of the fact that I knew all the questions and I knew all the information they're gonna need, or if it was just the fact that when I provided the information, it wasn't questioned. It was just accepted and taken in. Also, there were no hidden fees. Nothing jumped up and bit me. There were no scares at all, especially as we got closer and closer to closing time.

    HomeDirect Mortgage had the best rates. I applied for a mortgage with them because I was buying a property. The loan process was excellent. Everything went very smoothly and timely. I was always able to reach them. They always responded quickly to my questions and everything went fantastic. My interactions with their reps were great.

    We sold our house in Tennessee and relocated to a different area in Alabama. We were getting ready to purchase a house so we applied for a mortgage and it's a VA loan. I did some research online and tried to find a good interest rate. HomeDirect Mortgage seemed pretty good and so I jumped on them. There were no problems during the loan process, it was very easy, and everybody took care of everything. Then I ended up going overseas on vacation so I had a little difficulty but they were all patient and told me to not worry about it. I got them to get back and everything went smoothly.

    I've spoken to representatives over the phone a little bit but the communication was mostly done through email and they are very thorough on everything. They're very knowledgeable with the job and they came up with a full list of the things I had to accomplish. They didn't come back around, there was no backtracking, and they had everything ready to go. HomeDirect got the mortgage done in a timely manner well before closing so I was happy all the way around. It was a pleasure to work with them. Some days ago, a friend was looking and shopping around and I recommended HomeDirect to him.

    My experience with HomeDirect mortgage was excellent! My mortgage banker Lori ** was great. Everything was explained to me upfront and made very easy to work with. Lori ** and her team were very punctual, nice, and knew what they were doing. If I had any questions they responded to my email within twenty-four hours, responded to phone calls usually the same day. They never made me wait an unreasonable amount of time. If they had any question they email or called right away to get the information they needed to keep the ball rolling. Rate was better than expected. Payments were as expected (they saved me $140 per month). Closed ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend Lori ** and Home Direct Mortgage.

She has nothing but good reviews and I can say the same about them. Although my housing bill went up a bit, the house is mine, so it’s an investment.

    I worked with HomeDirect's account manager, Matt, before and I reached out to him and told him what my strategy was. I was selling my house and purchase another house. Matt was able to very quickly respond to me in terms of the way they ran and the right map to get us through the things that I wanted to achieve. At that point, he corresponded with VA, he got my certificate of eligibility squared away. But there was a component for that and this is where Matt just goes above and beyond.

    The VA had not updated my disability status which makes me exempt from the VA funding fee which is a pretty sizable chunk of money. Matt worked with the VA directly to help them get my paperwork updated. He took the mission on himself which was awesome. And then from there, I needed the CRE. We had the CRE in place, I sold the other house. This worked out a little dicey. The VA appraisal on the inbound house, the purchased house came in a little bit low. So, we backed out of that deal, found another house. At that point my rate lock-in expired and the rates had gone up.

    Matt was able to secure me a really good rate, right back where I was the first time. So, once again, he went above and beyond to help his customers and that's pretty notable. And then from there, it's straightforward. He ordered the appraisals on the second house. The contractor accepted the appraisals, went to quotes, and he called me afterwards to check on things to make sure the thing was smooth, which he did. We had a settlement, all paperwork was in order and everything was perfect. Now, I have a house. HomeDirect Mortgage, in general, has the support pillars in place, making the experience good. I'm not sure all their reps are great but Matt was second to none.

    We bought a new home in Florida and got a loan from HomeDirect Mortgage. I've had two different home loans over the years, and this is the easiest one I've experienced to date. They have a good online platform to work with and the requirements were fair, part of what I needed, so I was very comfortable with them. I worked with them by email from the process, and by phone as well. Also, it's day after day so it was good. The reps were very professional, timely, and courteous.

    They never go wrong, they write stuff, and were reasonable with the timeline. Working with them made the transition to Florida very easy and seamless. They have outstanding service and I'm very happy with it. I would definitely encourage a friend to consider them as an option.

    I needed to do a refinance at a lower rate and take the opportunity to take some cash out, too. I went with a VA loan from HomeDirect Mortgage because they have a good rate and very easy to work with. I went through the typical appraisal, termite inspection, and getting all the documents together. HomeDirect Mortgage informed me of everything I needed to take care of and helped me take care of it. Almost all my interactions with the representative were via email but I called if I had any questions I needed to be answered immediately and everything went fine. The rep was knowledgeable of what needed to be taken care of and HomeDirect's expertise and quality of service were excellent. It's been a good experience and I’ll tell my friends they’re a good company to work with.

    We've been from being in a rental and I never knew if we were gonna be able to get a home. It brings tears to my eyes. I'm 17 years older than my wife and with a three-year-old son so I wanted to them to have something when I'm gone. I decided to provide them with a new home. It was life changing for us and I didn't know I can see my wife decorating our house and landscaping it.

    I went through Zillow and Chad from HomeDirect was the first one to respond and so I thought we'd give them a chance and they nailed it. We applied, got pre-approved, and had a VA loan program. Chad asked for all the documentation so that was pretty painless and we got all that through. Then we had to wait for the home to be finished being built so he was pushing on the longest process and that was getting the VA appraiser on site, but that was pretty much out of his hands. He would call or email me if there were any issues. He's very personable and got good communication. It seemed like he really cared about my family and my kids. He showed a lot of consideration and care about what we were going through and our needs. His expertise was top notch. He had an answer and it was always right on point. I just love him. I hope the best for him and the company.

    I was doing a refi and looking for better rates. HomeDirect had incentive credits to cover the closing costs so I went with them. Their reps provided me with their rates and credits. They also set up everything for the inspections and scheduling the closing. They were very responsive and the process went pretty smooth. I ended up going for a 15-year term instead of a 30, which is another goal. I will highly recommend them.

    We got an FHA loan with HomeDirect Mortgage for a new home because there was a good referral from my father who's done business with them a few times.

    I went through a really bad divorce and walked away with nothing. I had to get a home and to do that I got a VA loan from HomeDirect. I went through Lending Tree, they responded to my request in under five minutes and they had the best interest rate by more than a percent of any of the other companies. Also, the people I dealt with answered every question I owned within minutes. And every time I needed something, I call them and they'd pick up immediately which everybody thought was awesome. They took care of all the paperwork, I signed what they told me to and after that, I didn't have a whole lot to do with securing the loan. It didn't take them more than an hour to get anything back to me and it was ridiculous how fast everything was.

    Everybody told me all these nightmares about getting a mortgage but HomeDirect was really good and I had no problems at all. Now I got a beautiful home and I got it with lower stress than my stressed times. I recommended them to all the people I know. And if people would ask me about HomeDirect, I would tell them how things went for me and give them contact information because all was great.

    We were financially in a position to afford a new home and we personally knew the loan officer at HomeDirect Mortgage. The loan process was extremely easy. The officer requested a series of documents from us. We supplied those documents, and we were pre-approved shortly thereafter. And then after we had chosen a home, he asked for some additional documentation for us. He said that we were fairly straightforward and we didn't have any problems getting approved, so it wasn't extremely complicated or as challenging as we originally thought it might be.

    We did have a couple of questions throughout the process and it was just nice to be able to give him a call after-hours, so it wasn't something that we were doing while we were at work, and we could deal with it in the evenings. It was a very smooth process and we were very appreciative. It was a little bit more personal than just dealing with a local bank or something to that effect. We were given excellent service and we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend them.

    My wife had seen a house that she liked so we got an FHA loan program from HomeDirect Mortgage. The first part of the loan process was good and I worked with a guy named Tyson. He was really professional. Every time I had anything that I needed or had questions, he got back with me. He responds to all of my emails, made everything organized, and knew what program I needed. He let me know the different rates right up front and gave me what the prices and rates were going to be. When the issues came about, he found a way to work through the issue and worked with his manager to get everything done as soon as possible.

    Tyson worked out Bank of Kansas City because I had a tax lien that I didn’t know about or thought I was done with. I wish I had known ahead of time that that was an issue but I only found out a week-and-a-half before closing. But besides that, everything was good. HomeDirect worked with me with the tax lien and we got everything done. It was a little rush to get everything I need to get taken care of but everything was really pleasant. Now, I got the house and I live in the area that I wanted to be at, with a lower down payment. It was a positive experience and I would recommend HomeDirect Mortgage.

    I do the house finances and I wanted to be able to take advantage of a lower interest rate and get it on the fix. And also come with potentially some available financing to pay down some expenses. It seemed like the right time. I refinanced and my conditions were to leverage the VA mortgage of whatever VA benefits because both my husband and I are retired military. We laid out the conditions and interest that we want to leverage that, take advantage of the lower interest rate, refinance, end up with some cash that might be able to pay down some things. They were able to marry up the options quite nicely.

    I put out some filler and it exploded the reaction from people that have similar services. I had started with somebody initially and wanted someone to work with that would first educate me while I’m also trying to make good choices based on the information on options I was given. What was important to me is working with somebody that really was going to hold my hand but at the same time leave the different decisions in my hand, not be too pushy, really indicate they’re listening to me and not just try to give me their best program that they’re perhaps being pushed to promote.

    Any first choice is probably unwise only because they are the ones that unfortunately are helping you cut your keys on knowledge. Not staying with the first one I worked with was not so much about that he wasn’t good enough. It was that I had to first come up to speak. I had to be a smarter and more informed consumer and I didn’t always ask intelligent questions. I don’t want to ever say he didn’t give me what I needed to hear when I didn’t know what I needed to hear. I think he did a bang-up job of trying to assemble the right information for me but there were certain information that seemed inaccurate. There’s a lot of details in what is needed to use the VA benefits and then what it is that can sometimes come forward from lenders.

    Where that variability occurs is another reason why I was interested and with the second one from HomeDirect, it seemed to be a more productive conversation because I was more informed. I knew a lot more about when something was referenced which initially, I didn’t have any clue what they were talking about. By the time the second contact came, I was much more snappy, able to apply it in the right way and truly understand the answer because sometimes the first guy would give an answer saying he was sure it was exactly right and accurate but it was perhaps not as well received. I didn’t have what I did. The first experience was not bad but the second one was able to offer more latitude from the lender. Sometimes what they can do internally to entice you to stay with them is the lender credit. That was relevant, very helpful and it impacted the bottom line.

    The other thing I like about HomeDirect is that as we were going through it, they had a way to give me an intuitive way to improve circumstances. I worked with them in two ways and it was based on that influence. They said then that I could probably go with the lower interest rate and even lower than I did at the first structure but there’s trade off. He educated me on the trade off and said I had to pay up a pretty hefty VA mortgage but that after that, once I have six months’ worth of mortgage payment at my belt, I can go in and I'm eligible to refinance again. Obviously, not paying that initial thing because it's upfront and all those closing costs are not negligible but they’re certainly much reasonable and I can take advantage of then a lower interest rate.

    Exactly what she seemed to indicate would be something that I might want to take advantage of turned out to be just that. I went and six months later, he followed through with his intent to call me after I become re-eligible. It was another experience that was much more streamline obviously because they were able to re-use all the information I had given in the first place. That allowed for the application for the lower interest rate and that went really quickly and smoothly just like he said. Everything turned out just the way it was.

    Now, in the process of assembling all the detail, I’m pretty organized with what has to be made available. The assembly is always important in what he had available as a backup person for whenever he isn’t as available as I’d want which was another key thing, there’s always a backup person. I found that very helpful. And then, if I was getting late on what was necessary to come from me, their follow up was very relevant and it was professional.

    My husband and I are in a joint account and each one of us would receive documents online. If you don’t do the online then they would have to call through by lengthening the package in the mail. Sometimes I'd get two packages, one to my husband and one to me. I think the process could be improved because if we’re joint and we can’t stay and be approved for such a loan unless we're joint, they seem to be overkill for me. I’m handling double of everything. Being able to distinguish what comes in the mail one day and then on the heels of that was in two days, it wouldn’t be initially unusual to get another package.

    There was one point where I’m thinking that because we took care of something based on a recent contact, that was okay but I wasn’t. There really was a lost intent of a previous communication. So every once in a while, I'm signing off and just accept and then sometimes I’m signing off to continue the process. Their concern is to make sure we don’t bypass the deadline.

    I thought they handled the process of support and hand holding. Clearly they had a process and they had a sustainment and resources to make sure the process was carried out. They were very open to describing the distinctions but they were obviously very aware that I want the best deal and program. I said I can either ask them or they can know that I’m still in parallel talking with certain people lying to entice their way to make sure that I’m first of all, as educated and fully informed about all these ins and outs in all these programs.

    But you’d learn that the way which they’re trying to entice you is sometimes confusing and it comes across as if you’re going to be helped. The way some of these things get communicated is almost like an art because it makes me feel like if I don’t do that, something bad will happen and I’m going to be liable. There’s an art occurring that the way they pick up the phone and follow through is sometimes motivating us here. I didn’t like that and now I know that was any way at all part of the HomeDirect experience.

    A lot of questions occurred when I had to go through this and made me think why I had it. I had a lot of circumstances I wanted to achieve and have established. I have a better mortgage and I don’t have the fear looming that something that doesn’t feel right is about to occur. All of that is done and behind me. And at this point, I’m more informed so I think I did a very responsible thing and it did take care of some other costs. When one doesn’t have those other burdens, it’s a big relief, it feels like one can tackle anything. It propels a person to be more responsible and execute more refinement to other parts of that budget and the finance.

    My loan officer was Stephen ** and he was assisted by Terri. They made for a very positive first-time home-buying experience. They were consistently engaged with me to make sure I knew what to expect and when I needed to provide appropriate documentation. Everything seemed very seamless and I'm very happy with the service provided. HomeDirect also offered the best rates and they service most of their own loans which is comforting to buyers. The only critique I have is that some documentation requirements seem a bit skewed. If a transcript is needed as part of the process, either allow unofficial transcripts or require the official transcript be provided to the loan officer by the institution producing the record. Also, in the event where a degree was awarded, the transcript will reflect that. The actual diploma should not be required as it is no more official than an unofficial transcript.

    At first I had another mortgage company. Then I reached out to HomeDirect because a friend had used them. They gave me outstanding interest rate and there was a VA. I had excellent dealing with them. As a matter of fact, when I went to my title company, they thought it was a mistake and even called HomeDirect on their own because they didn't believe that the interest could be so low for the VA right now.

    Moreover, the loan process was a piece of cake considering the other mortgages that I've been through which have never been that easy. I emailed the required documents and a couple of more things to HomeDirect and they communicated really well with me. Usually they'd send me the document then they'd call me. The communicators didn't overdo or underdo it and their rep answered all my questions. My wife's a Realtor, so any questions that we would bring to him were pretty complicated, but he got through. Also, it is cheaper to go through them and it saved me some money. So I'll be recommending them to others.

    We were shopping around for a new home and I needed a quote for a mortgage, so I decided to shop around for a lender as well. One of my older buddies, who has gone through 12 houses in 20 years and has used HomeDirect multiple times before, had a lot of previous experience working with Ryan. He said that Ryan gets the job done and he gave me Ryan's contact information. So, I gave Ryan a call and let him know that I was shopping around for a lender.

    As it turned out, HomeDirect had one of the most competitive rates and they gave me direct information versus just the stuff that sales people who give quotes tell prospective customers to get them interested in their company. After having to go through the verbiage that sales people try to sell them on why they should go with their company, customers often find out that a lot of it are stretched truths. However, Ryan gave me the straight shot at everything and that, for me, goes a long way because it was my first time applying for a mortgage, and having to go through the black and white myself would be very stressful. It was real easy to work with Ryan and I liked him. There was one incident where he and I had weren't on the same page, but when I brought that to his attention, he went back to the issue and fixed it, and made sure we were on the right page at that point.

    I actually had my own guy that I was considering going with, and that was the biggest competition that HomeDirect had. But what it came down to was that HomeDirect was able to give me a much better quote than that guy could provide. He told me, "If this guy's legit, then you need to go with him because I can't do any better than what I'm doing." Working with HomeDirect has affected my life tremendously.

    I'm paying HomeDirect monthly and I'm interested in setting up an automatic payment to come out of my bank account. This month was my first month for making the payment. I paid over the phone, which is very convenient, because my payment went out of my bank not more than a day or two later but it was reflected in my account that it came out the minute I made the phone call, which is awesome because it was actually the day that the payment was due for the first time, so I enjoyed that. I would absolutely recommend HomeDirect to a friend. I would recommend Ryan because he's doing a great job. I'd recommend.

I went online, filled up a basic application and I started getting phone calls. I had barely clicked the submit button and Quicken Loans was on the phone. I've dealt with Quicken in the past. I've had a loan through them and they're one of the first that sells my loan to somebody else almost immediately. I don't think I had made the first payment yet when they did I didn't feel like staying and going back to Quicken Loans. They offered me decent rates but I started getting two or three back to back phone calls from people and they were hounding. That gave the impression that I'm dealing with an agency that one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. So, I shied away from all of those.

    It came down to HomeDirect and one other agency. When I talked to the girl from the other agency and told her who I was looking at, she said that if I were gonna lose my business, she would assume it was to HomeDirect. A competitor spoke very highly of HomeDirect. Part of what drew me to them was that a very high percentage of loans that originate with them and stay with them. Then, it will get sold off on the market and I get handed around half a dozen different companies. That's a big piece for me and I've gotten that hand off before. I told the girl from the other institution and she said she can't make that statement. Also, they were shooting me the best rate that was, at one point, almost as much as a quarter of a percent. They were better than anybody else.

    I walked through some stuff on the telephone and we did everything else electronically right up until the closing. Like everybody else, they were prepared to send someone to my house to close and that would have been fine, but I was gonna be in the Kansas City area. I only live two hours out of Kansas City and I said to come there in Kansas City. They said it's not normally how they do it but that it would work so, we closed right there in the office in Kansas City. Kent, the agent in Kansas City we worked with, seemed very upfront and honest.

    There are things that could be improved upon with anything. There were a few weeks through the course of the loan probably three different times that I got emails where my first reaction was thinking why is it any of their business like when we took some money out of IRA in order to knock down one of my credit cards, so that I can afford to cover the cost of the appraisal. As soon as I send in my paperwork showing them the statements from the bank accounts, I got an email back asking where that money came from. I thought that was pushy and rude. Why is it any of their business where I came up with the money to put into my checking account so that I could pay our credit card down? I've spoken to them about it and the response I get back is that the VA wants that information. I understand all of that when you're working with somebody like the VA and the government but I still wonder why.

    I have all three mortgages now wrapped into one and the payment on that one is the same as my primary was. It's within a few dollars of what I was paying on my first one. It stretched it back out to 30 years again. I was probably down about 24 or 25 years but it got my payment down to what I can handle. It had gotten to the point with the interest rates starting to climb again and the insurance. It was starting to get to where I was having difficulty and my wife lost her job. We were getting to the point where we were having a hard time making payments and I was making three mortgage payments. With the refi, it dropped me down to one payment and saves me about $800 a month.

    I was looking to buy a house. I went on LendingTree and HomeDirect was one of the first companies to contact me, and their rate looked good. Also, they were willing to do a second VA loan, while other lenders I talked to didn't want to do that. I applied for a mortgage and got a VA loan from them. One thing that I liked about HomeDirect was that whenever I called, they usually answered or called me right back and they were quick to respond to emails, whereas in my experience with a national and bigger lender like USAA, every time I called I always got a voicemail. Sometimes I'd have to wait awhile for USAA to call me back, and whenever I have deadlines, it's really helpful to have fast turnaround on communication.

    The representatives were helpful and very hands-on. The only thing that I was getting a little bit annoyed with was that it was my loan, and it's going to get back to me one way or another, so I wanted to be clued in on what's going on and copied in on the emails. But sometimes, when my realtor and I would send the rep an email, the rep wouldn't reply to me at all, but only to my realtor, and this happened several times. Sometimes, there were questions I had that I didn't really feel were answered, and I was kept in the dark. But that was the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way with them, and everything else was great.

    My transaction with HomeDirect was complicated, so there were a lot of phone calls and emails and the process was very stressful. We run into a lot of issues that don't usually come up in a normal transaction, and the reps would certainly have been annoyed with me, but they did their best. The loan officer probably got tired of hearing from me, but he did a good job. The main thing that I cared about was performance and he got the deal done and I have my house now.

    My Loan Officer, Matt **, was very easy to talk to and helpful. He always returned calls and emails promptly whenever I had a question. He made the process very easy and was always looking out for my best interest. It seemed like I had my own personal banker. He made sure everything was coordinated behind the scenes with the underwriters to ensure my loan closed when I needed it, even though I kept changing the date on him. There was never any doubt that my loan would be ready. This was truly impeccable customer service I wish I could receive from all businesses I deal with. Great service. The website seems excellent for keeping track of all my account details. I'd highly recommend HomeDirect to everyone who needs a mortgage.

    For over a week I have been attempting, very unsuccessfully to contact you by phone and via your website and each time the results have been frustrating and very disappointing. So much so, that I am considering refinancing with someone else just so I can put you guys and your lack of connectivity, behind me. This makes absolutely no sense! I registered and paid my mortgage online and 5 days later I cannot determine if you processed it. My bank account shows the money is still in my possession. Do you NOT want to be paid?

    I was satisfied with the service but would have rated the experience higher if not for two issues. We built a new house on a lot we already owned and initially applied for a VA loan. We were quoted the terms, including a VA funding fee of $4,375. After filling out innumerable VA forms and asking our builder to do the same, we were told that since we owned the lot, the transaction was considered a refinance and the VA funding fee would be $11,500. That was within a few weeks of closing. The good news is that HomeDirect gave us a conventional loan option based on the interest rate in effect when we originally locked in our VA rate so the increase in the payment amount was minor.

    The second issue was confusion on the appraisal, which delayed closing by nearly three weeks. There was confusion between HomeDirect and the appraiser about the type of appraisal needed, i.e. "As Is" or "Complete". We received a Certificate of Occupancy and moved into the house but the appraiser said it wasn't complete because there were punch list items. It was only after I talked to the appraiser that I realized there was confusion and the issue was resolved. HomeDirect extended the interest rate lock-in period twice to accommodate the delay, so the delay didn't cost us anything except frustration. While its administrative procedures need to be improved, I applaud HomeDirect for standing by its original commitment.

Additionally, Matt performed exceptionally well with the VA loan process and ensured my full benefit was being used. Understand this is a very tumultuous process. He was always available and if he missed my call, returned it within an hour each time. Throughout this process, I knew I was in the best hands possible.

    I recently called to state my complaint and relayed my disappointment with your bank. Your bank paid my homeowners policy in error and when I called the situation was further compounded when the customer service rep explained that I was wrong and then went on to give me a bunch of bad information. When your bank figured out the problem and left me a message that I was correct, they added I should get in touch with my insurance company to straighten it out.

    I received a call on 3/14 stating payment was not received and I would be charged a late fee. I allowed your bank to take a payment direct from my checking account. I found out later that day that the payment was made on 3/7 and received by your bank on 3/11 mailing the phone call and withdrawal unnecessary. I received an e-mail on Friday 4/7/2017 indicating my automatic payment would be withdrawn from my account with 24 hours. The e-mail came after your bank was closed and I spent the weekend wondering if I was being scammed. The e-mail had someone else's account information and their names. I also thought that my account information was being sent out to someone else.

    A friend of mine out of Maryland told me to try out Nate at HomeDirect. I was a little skeptical at first trying a bank out of state but my my was I wrong. I had rates from multiple different banks ranging in interest rates but once I talked to Nate he blew their rates out of the water! For a 30 yr mortgage with HomeDirect I was offered a lower rate than the 15 yr with all of the other banks I had gotten quotes from! The other lender I was talking to actually told me "buyer beware" because she thought it sounded impossible looking at the current day's going market rates.

    The service was impeccable too. Whenever I needed to contact Nate he responded promptly and was very intelligible. They serviced my loan quickly and got me to closing on time in light of multiple delays with my employment verification and the home's appraisal.

    I compared HomeDirect to the other two lenders I was looking at and HomeDirect was more competitive. They offered the same interest-wise, but when it all comes down to services, HomeDirect was better. I purchased a new home and the only program I was eligible for was the VA program. All I had to do was meet their qualifications to get it and that was it. The lender, Nate, and I were able to be on a first name basis and with him being on the phone, we made each other felt like we knew each other on a personal level. He took it from the business level to a more personal and we were comfortable with that. Even though my realtor had a personal broker, I personally didn’t feel confident to be with anyone else, but Nate.

    When I first started this three or four years ago, he had reached out to me. So even before I secured it back last year, we were in contact about two or three years prior. Being that this was my first time, he walked me through the process. He also would reach out to me every six months, asking where my situation was telling me, "No, don't do it." HomeDirect got me what I want and it was within my budget. Based on my experience, once I get myself in order, I would trust giving Nate another business. And hopefully, he will give me the same service, as well as the person on my recommendation.
