BOK was our current mortgage bank. The process of refinancing with them was good. The application and underwriting took three months. It was a good experience. Their reps are very good people.

I’ve been with BOK for about a year and a half now. The lady that I dealt with was pretty nice. She was very good, efficient and prompt. She did everything the right way and she was on top of everything. The actual application process for the home refinance didn’t take long, even with the approval. It took about three weeks. I thought that the interest would’ve been a little bit less. But it’s reasonable. I got lower payment and lower interest rate from the refinance.

I’ve worked for bigger banks and I like how BOK operates. If I’m gonna have my mortgage with somebody, I’d like it to be with a company that I like that’s why I went with them. The online application process was fantastic then the underwriting took about three weeks and majority of the time, I had to wait to pull funds from my 401(k). It went very smoothly. The only delays were me just getting dots aligned. My experience with my loan officer, Michele, was great. Luckily, I’m an underwriter so I didn’t need too many directions on what we needed. I got a very good rate and the term is fixed for 30 years so I’m very pleased with it.

The loan officer from I worked with from BOK was gracious. She made sure that we got the best rate possible and made sure we weren’t being overcharged for anything. I really appreciated working with her. There was some back and forth with the company that looked into our credit report. The company called me to set up some conference calls with some of the other lenders that I’ve been working with. After all that happened, there was some hold-up where they thought that they still needed to contact me even though we’d already gone through it so there was some miscommunication between them and the lender. That was the only major snag. Everything else went smoothly. I was satisfied with the interest rate and happy with the experience.

I’ve always had accounts with BOK and I’ve used them for over 30 years. I refinanced and the representatives were pretty easy to work with. We communicated through emails and they responded pretty well. It was a good experience.

BOK Financial Mortgage was in possession of my mortgage so, I extended my question if I could do refinancing with them. Their rep was very accommodating and he was very happy to do it with me, so I went with them. Also, I was shopping for options at the time and their rates were good. But when I was getting the quotes from different banks, it was difficult for me to compare exactly their fees because they all vary and they had different descriptions. That was a confusing process for me, though it was not specifically a problem with BOK. Their rep was very responsive to my e-mails and calls, plus he followed up if there was a need to get everything signed and would let me know or call me. I'm a very suspecting person but I liked the way he was approaching my problem. He built the trust. He was right on timing-wise, too.
Other than that, we had to do two takes on my refinancing. I started the process five months ago but that didn’t go well because I had some problems on my end. Then I came back five months later and BOK's rep was very happy to follow up on it. Overall it was a good experience and I would be happy to come back and do one more refinancing or get a new loan with them. I still strongly consider them as an option.

I applied for refinancing to BOK Financial Mortgage. The whole process was a lot easier than I expected it to be. It took about three weeks. They provided me with a notary that was in my area and we did all the signing there. Erica, the loan officer, was very professional. She was always upfront with me. The rates were good and the terms were great. It was better terms than other places that I had checked. BOK Financial Mortgage decreased my house payment and it gave me a little extra money to do some work around the house.

The loan officer I worked with at BOK Financial was very helpful, easy to work with, easy to talk to and kept me informed. The process took about a month. I started around the Thanksgiving week. I called and checked rates with various lending institutions. And then, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I was trying to call and lock-in with BOK, and I understand it was a holiday week and couldn’t reach anybody on Wednesday before and Friday after Thanksgiving. By the time I was able to lock-in, it had gone up a slightly with $15 difference on my monthly payments. But other than that it was okay. And as we know holidays interfere a lot of times with business.
It all went pretty smoothly considering it was my first time to do everything online. It seems everything went pretty well, trying to get people to respond on my end and provide the information that I needed to provide to the loan officers. Sometimes that’s more of a problem than anything, but dealing directly with BOK was not a problem. It all worked out and it was very professional. I enjoyed working with the loan officer. He was very helpful.

The loan officer, DJ, asked me for some documentation for my refi at BOK. I forwarded that to him via email. He sent me some documents to sign electronically, took care of that and we had a couple of phone conversations back and forth and it was done. DJ was excellent. I spoke to him a couple of times and refer people to him all the time. He was on the spot, friendly and courteous. He went out of his way to make sure that he returned calls or emails back to me. The online process was streamlined and easy. It all went very smooth.

I already had a mortgage with BOK, and it went really well. Erika, the lady I've worked with recently, was awesome. She was knowledgeable. I understand the business a little bit too but she's responsive and helpful. I got a 30-year mortgage, and the application process was very easy and smooth. And I like the low rates and no fees. The rates and terms are perfect. They're exactly what I wanted. Bok is great. My brother called and I recommended a couple of other people too.

I was looking up companies online and I felt BOK Financial gave me the best rate. Then, I spoke to somebody over there and it was convincing. I did a refinance and the process took a long time but it was okay. The online application process was straightforward. The application took a day but the underwriting took about 2 months. There were a lot of delays at their side and a little bit of delay at my side. Other than that, the representative I dealt with was good. And, everything was fine.

I called my current finance company to see if they were able to give me a more competitive rate. The loan officer that I worked with was real forward and told me that he couldn't. But he wasn't trying to keep me from getting a better rate, so he referred me to BOK Financial. I refinanced with BOK and the process was really simple. I did an application over the phone. The loan officer from my previous loan was friends with my loan officer from my current loan, so they worked together to get a lot of the information prior to even starting up the application. So, it was real seamless.
The BOK rep who I worked with was very intricate as far as telling me what I needed and straightforward in telling me what she could do. It was very interactive. We spoke mostly via email and she was quick on the response. I was quick on the response, so we were able to take care of things. She is a very personable and nice lady. I enjoyed working with her and happy that she could make things happen for me.
BOK was really on top of everything and I refinanced two homes, my primary home and a rental property. We moved quickly on the primary home and took less than a month. Because it was a VA loan refi, it wasn't much needed and it didn't need an appraisal or anything like that. But the rental property process was a little bit more extent and I just wished it could have gone by a little bit faster, but that wasn't on them. It was just the process and I got spoiled by the first process. The second home took close to 2 months and it was a little slower than what I expected but it finally happened. Still, I'm happy with that.

I was highly attracted to BOK's rate and the overall all-in cost as far as getting a new mortgage. I got a 30-year refinance, and the online application process was easy and simple.

My current VA loan was already with HomeDirect from a previous refi and they were willing to work with me. There's a lower rate and based on a recommendation from someone who got fired but he was amazing, I did it with them again. The process was simple and I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other with the online application. I could never get anybody on the phone if I called, but they were prompt with emails. The rep I worked with was very nice and she answered all of my questions. But as far as that goes, aside from emailing and we did what we were supposed to do, it was good. The rates and terms were standard from what I had, so it was good and I am happy with that. Working with HomeDirect is saving me money.

BOK Financial has a lower interest rate and we liked the idea of keeping it with a local bank. The process of applying and receiving the financing was simple.

A family member of mine recommended BOK and the interest rates were dropping. The refinance went fairly smoothly. Most of it was electronic. We logged in and it would tell the status of things. It seemed to take a while, but that's the case with most mortgages. The online application process was very easy, and the rep I dealt with was easy to work with. He kept me informed and answered my questions and I enjoyed working with him. He was very eager to help. He was very informative and knowledgeable, and he always got back with me very quickly. If I emailed him a question or gave him a call, he was quick to get back to me. With BOK, the lower interest on the refinance allowed me to have lower mortgage payment and more cash in my pocket and it was able to put me in a better financial position. I'd tell others that BOK was certainly something they should consider and to give them a shot.

I was already with BOK Financial and they reached out to me. I wanted to stay with the company that was servicing the mortgage so I did a streamline loan through them to reduce the rate. The process was fairly easy. They took care of just about everything, and I didn't have to produce all the paperwork that I did for the original mortgage. They just pretty much had the copy of everything, so it made it a lot easier. If I had to do all that up, I probably wouldn't have done it. The application and underwriting took a few weeks. Then, the rep I worked with was good and he kept me informed. However, I feel like the rates might have dropped a little more. If I had been given the chance to get the lowest rate as opposed to when it just got locked in, that would have been cool. But, overall, I was very pleased with it.

The appraisal and closing were timely. The time frame was great. It fit my time frame perfectly. The only thing I did struggle with, which was outside of our mortgage company, was the notary. The notary was an hour late for our appointment, and so that was a little troubling. But outside of that, everything went very smoothly.

I had a specific mortgage broker who I worked with directly. He was the only person who ever called me, the only person who ever emailed me, kept me updated the whole time. It was a very personable, smooth process.

My husband and I both work at Bank of Oklahoma. The application process went really well. We worked with our employee center though, so it may be different than the regular loan process.

They did good. Our loan officer was amazing. She was super helpful. I really enjoyed working with them. But the rates wouldn't have been as good without our employee discount. We may have not gone with the bank if it wasn't for our employee center because the rates weren't as good unless we went with the employee center.

When we went to the closing, I thought it was gonna be long and drawn-out like it typically is but it went smoothly and it went through awesome.

My experience with them was great. I did the mortgage a couple of years ago because they offered a good rate. When I first went through, I called them up, worked out a rate and they sent over the loan application, and I filled it out. The most recent refinance took a little longer than normal because I had to have a termite inspector come in so there was a little bit of a delay. Still, the rep was very helpful. They kept the rate the same, and I was hoping for something a little less ‘cause I know that the tenure treasury went down and the notes are a little bit lower right now. But in six months, I have a VA loan and I’m eligible to refinance, so I’ll probably shop around for a lower rate. I’m satisfied with it overall.

I originally called HomeDirect Mortgage to check about a refi on one of my other homes and I started working with a guy named Dave. I really liked him. He was a very sharp individual and was on the ball, had all the numbers, and was easy to work with. And so, I decided to go with him when I went to buy my new home here in Texas. But I don't know what happened to him. I guess he’s not working there anymore. So, I worked with Kathryn. She was was very congenial and easy to work with too, except for the fact that I seem to have a difficult time getting a hold of her at times. By the time that the switch was made, I had already sent a lot of documents, and I didn't want to have to go dig those documents up again. And I did check their rates against others and they were competitive.
However, they should improve on being a little more responsive to the customer. There were certain times that I was having a difficult time getting the information or giving the information to the right individual because I couldn't get a hold of anybody. I would leave messages, but the messages wouldn’t be returned. Customer responsiveness would make the experience go smoother. It might be able to cut off a little time too. Other than that, the refi process went smoothly. The whole process took close to six weeks.

I had my loan through HomeDirect Mortgage before I did the refinance. I didn’t know the process would take long because this is the first refinance I’ve done, and it seems like forever. But they communicated what was going on every step. If I had any questions, they were really good at answering quickly. They communicate through email, which works for me. I like their eagerness. They were doing what they said they were gonna do or following through with any questions I had, and that made me feel really good.
I was pleased with the whole process. The only thing that was so weird was HomeDirect wanted me to pay off the company that I was paying off instead of just paying them. HomeDirect sent me a check to send to the company, and what a hassle that was. Why can't they just electronically fund them themselves? There were five or six checks and four of them went through right away, and then one of the companies, Service Financial, sold the loan to Capital One. I told HomeDirect, “They just sent me a thing saying that it’s not Service Financial anymore.” They told me that I needed to do this or that and still send it to them. Eventually, they sent it to Capital One and paid it. But with the HSBC one, I'm still having it worked out. HSBC said that it was sent to someone else and that they were made out to that company. But I had to mail it into the company with the monthly statements. So, I don’t know what to do with that.
I’ve emailed the lady I worked with through HomeDirect and she said, “That’s something that we can’t deal with. That has to be through them." They said it was the title company’s requirements. But it's just so weird. I have to send one check to a company I know doesn’t have the loan anymore. And then, I’m still waiting on one which they said went to someone else, and they sent it back to them. This happened a couple of weeks ago, and they emailed me and said, “We’ll mail it out to you Monday.” If don't have it, then I still can't send it to these people. It makes no sense in adding an extra step.

I used HomeDirect last time and we got a good deal with it. I went with them again but this time, I'm dissatisfied because the woman that did it charged me too much money for the loan and didn’t give me a good interest rate. The interest rate was supposed to be at least half a percent with the VA loan but I didn't get that. Then it was supposed to be a real quick deal ‘cause there was no appraisal or other this and that, but it cost just as much money as it did before. It also took quite a bit longer. Finally, I got a lower monthly payment by about 60 bucks, yet I paid $6,000 to get that.

So, it’s been a positive impact and it’s been beneficial. I worked with Seth on another refi and he really did a great job with that one because it was more complex. It was a lot more difficult, a lot more challenging, and they were really good. I was refinancing a modification and my credit was not great. And he really did a lot of work on that one. This one was smooth. It was just standard and it was pretty straightforward.

I had another house that I sold that I had the mortgage with, and the person that did the transaction, Julie, was remarkable. So, I called her back when I needed a new mortgage. She did everything for me, except, in the middle of the process, she left HomeDirect and went with another company. And they turned me over to Seth, and that was a nightmare. And because of that, I will never get another loan with HomeDirect. He was horrible. I could never get a hold of him, and his assistant would call me back, and there was delay. It took a couple of months for them to do the process, and we had paid cash for the home. We both have 800 credit scores. I had a previous loan with them for two and a half years, just under two years. And when I got a hold of Juliet, since I had a complaint, she said there was no way it should have taken that long.
It should have breezed right through because they had all of our information on file, all of our income is retirement income, guaranteed for life. She had those letters that it was guaranteed for life. Then, the people that he used and referred to us also did a terrible job, like the people that did the appraisal. When we got the appraisal, we were looking through the pictures of the house and it was not our house. I don't know whose family room it was that they were showing in there, but it wasn’t ours.
And then, they showed us the patio of other houses in the neighborhood. One of them gave an address that was at least eight miles away. This is comparable from where the house actually was, and we knew that was where the house was ‘cause it was the previous house that we’d sold, and it was right down the block, and they put the appraised value on that house at 400, and it had just sold a month and a half before for 499,000.
Another appraisal issue that I had was they were using comps on houses that were not that far away, but they weren’t sold. They weren’t even pending. They were for sale houses. It’s a mix-up. But they had several pictures of our house that we’d just spent 80,000 on remodeling, completely done. So, we weren’t real happy with the appraisal. And when we talked with Seth about that, he just said, “Write me up exactly what it is and send it to me, and I’ll forward it along.” Kind of like he didn't wanna take the time to do anything, whereas when Juliet had our account, she did it all. She didn't want us to do anything. I got the feeling that he was lazy.

I was looking for a house and checked several mortgage companies. They all had loan application fees, which were anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000. Then I happened to check with HomeDirect Mortgage and their fee was a lot less. I checked out the reviews online and they seemed like a good company.

Getting the mortgage was easy. I just filled out the application and when I had questions or concerns, I emailed them and their responses were prompt. All of the loan officers that I worked with always responded, even if I emailed them outside of regular business hours. However, instead of my personal mailbox, my loan officer started sending mail to the physical address I gave him, but that wasn't always my physical address because I was moving around. I sold my home in March and I was homeless until last month. I had a mailing address versus a resident address and for insurance purposes, I had to provide a physical address, not a personal mailbox.

HomeDirect Mortgage's online application was simple. I took a 15-year fixed loan and from start to finish, the application and underwriting process took about four weeks. It was mostly due to weekends and holidays, I was waiting for some paperwork to come through. There is a disconnect between customer service and the underwriting team. And one point, the closing agent they sent out sent a check to us with instructions to send it back to the company.
When we did, they returned the check and said they couldn't accept a check that large, even though it was written by their own closing agent. Then, they applied an overdraft fee, which they said they could waive as a courtesy, but that took care of my one-year courtesy adjustment. I didn't wanna do that and it wasn’t my fault. They could see that a new mortgage was started with the same company but they said that that was a problem of underwriting and not their cost center. They didn't do anything about it, which was frustrating since I’ve done about a million and a half dollars in the last two or three years with them. If it’s in-house, take care of it with the customer, then figure it out in-house afterward.
When I have questions, my loan originator and his underwriter assistant person respond within the same day or, if it was late in the evening, first thing in the morning the next day with answers and an action plan.

Aspen was the loan originator and she did a good job of explaining all my options, payments and requesting documentation.

I have been leasing an apartment for about 10 years and we thought it was time for us to make a move. I had spoken to other lenders and HomeDirect Mortgage was one of the lenders that Credit Karma had on their list, so I figured they must be legitimate. When we started talking to HomeDirect, they gave me several options. One of them was a low downpayment, what I was looking for. It took me several months just collecting the information they needed. Actually, collecting the information, the check stubs and the bank statements and my tax returns was not that difficult. So all of that was fairly quickly except going through the process of getting to the next step and getting the underwriters to look at it and asking for more information.
I had some student loans that I was paying off and I was in a program that gave me a reduced loan. And so, I had to go through the troubles of getting a restatement from them, because the way I was going the route, the decrease payment plan was not going to complete paying off the loan in the amount of time that they had told me. I guess they were looking at the worst case scenario--if I did not complete or did not go through the program, my payment would double, and they just wanted to make sure that if it did double, then I would still be able to afford the house.
The lender that I was working with was very helpful. She gave me specific directions on how to go about making things work for me, so I was very pleased and I felt very comfortable. They gave me the lowest rate they could, which is 3.25. I looked at several other local agencies or bankers and they basically told me they couldn't give me that and to stay with HomeDirect who would give me the better rate than they could.

He was very helpful, very prompt in answering questions or getting back to me and he was also detailed. The application and underwriting process took 45 days.

We started our process early in our build process and just checked with the HomeDirect rep, Ryan, to say when we should start and what we should pay attention to. We already started gathering all the information required nine months out before the final completion of the building and closing and Ryan gave us all the links, the associate's name that we would work with, and just went from there. He facilitated a lot of what we needed to get in preparation for the formal application. On a new build, our delay was the cost of the building, the contractor, the contract company getting me the proper certificates and everything prior to it.

The whole process from application to close took 60 days or more, which was a long time. It was too late, by the time that they used this cheapest closing company that was not local to me. I wish they used a local company because they asked my wife's Social Security number multiple times, and I had already given it to him. And they kept asking me repeat questions, which I didn't appreciate. Apparently, Erick, the guy we originally talked to who was quick to respond and answer any of my questions, left and went to a different job in the middle of the process, but nobody ever told me.

We were kinda dragging our feet on some things and something expired, and he went ahead and redid everything for us. Everything was communicated over email and the telephone and I miss the personal touch, but you can’t really expect that from a company that’s halfway across the country.

I am a HomeDirect Mortgage employee so I knew that I was at about 80% LTV and I could get rid of my MI. And based on the type of loan that I had where it was borrower-paid MI through premium pricing at the rate, I wanted to lower my rate because my rate went down by a full percentage. I've been monitoring rates for a few years. I went with their conventional conforming, a 30-year fixed program. As a customer, it only felt cumbersome to me because I knew the process and there was a level of expectation that I don't think the general consumer has. But I thought that specific to the communication by my loan officer was lacking. I felt that could have been improved.
The online application process was okay. Having done origination 15 years ago, I felt like there were some things that were missed, but it wasn't a big deal. And once the application itself was reviewed, somebody, either the originator or his assistant contacted me back and got those data pieces handled. The application and underwriting process was the least explained to me. I had gotten feedback from friends who had done loans with Bank of Oklahoma and people that had sold their homes and knew the buyers were financing through Bank of Oklahoma, and they said, "We were told the loan was approved. And then, two days before closing, we were told it wasn't." They didn't have a loan. The reason why that has bearing on my situation is because I understood better how that could have happened, when specific to my situation, I was told that we had gotten approval, which I guess was just the AUS.
And then, when I thought it should have been going to closing, they were like, "Oh, we need to get your HOA information." They should have known about that from the moment that they had the AUS piece of it because it was defined in the AUS piece. So, the fact that that detail slips through when I thought it should have been going to closing, I think that was a little clunky. And I'm not super excited to know that perhaps if consumers need explanation of that, I don't know that loan officers are adequately explaining it, at least it wasn't, in my situation.
The communication with my loan officer was just fine. But having a different level of understanding of the process and of the system, some of the questions that I was asking weren't normal questions. So, from that perspective, it may have not necessarily turned him off or put him on edge, but I think it was one of those things that he was like, "Okay. Well, sure. We're busy, so closing is gonna be in a month." And I'm like, "No, but we have approval on the second day of the application because I got you everything you needed. So, why aren't we going to closing?"
Details like that were frustrating to me simply because I didn't understand that the volume had increased such that there was a delay, and I think that that could have been set up better at the beginning. Nonetheless, the loan officer was able to answer or I was able to clarify and rephrase so that he could understand what I was asking. The rate was good and I think that the rep met my expectations very well, but there wasn't any above and beyond as far as any type of additional engagement. I love BOK and I think that they're the way to be. Ultimately, we have the customers' financial benefit in mind, and I think that our people operate in that mindset. So, I like it. I would recommend HomeDirect Mortgage.

I was purchasing a new home and my realtor highly recommended HomeDirect Mortgage. The application process was easy. The whole process took a day or two. We were sent closing disclosure that stated that we will be getting money-backs from closing. However, once we got the final numbers, we actually had to come to the table with almost $6,000 for closing, and that was not explained to us. So, it caught us off guard. The communication between myself, my husband, the person who was working on our loan, and the realtor was horrible. They could improve on their communication. Nevertheless, their rates and terms are good.

Being aware of current rates, which had gone lower, I applied for a mortgage. HomeDirect was a referral from a friend and they had the best deal around. Their process for one to obtain a mortgage from them is very easy. I sent in my initial paperwork and then they called me and said that it was ready to close. I did the application on the computer, which took 10-15 minutes, and then it was 30-40 days to close. It didn’t seem very long at all and they were kinda backlogged since their rates were so low that's why it took over 30 days.
HomeDirect has great rates, which was around 4%, so I got a point better than my current mortgage that I had before I refinanced. And their rates were lower than anybody else that I had talked to. I did a 30-year fixed loan program and Erica was my loan officer. She was very good, very knowledgeable, and made the process super easy. I asked them a question if they needed anything else, via email, and they responded in a couple of minutes and said that they had everything they needed and were just waiting for underwriting to be done and to go to closing. So, they were very prompt and responsive to my emails. I didn’t even make a phone call to them. All in all, working with HomeDirect has made my life easier, and I also have a lower mortgage payment.

HomeDirect had the lowest rate, so I chose to apply for a refinance with them. The underwriting and application took about two months from beginning to end and my experience was good. But I was told that I’d be able to skip two payments and I was not able to because of the timing that it actually closed. Then during the process, there was a random question about my income.
Originally, it was gonna be just me on the loan because my husband had something happen with his credit and it lowered his score. Mine was better, so it was gonna be in my name so that we could get the better rate. I was a few days away from closing then one of the people from HomeDirect Mortgage told me that we had to use his account also because I didn't qualify on my own. Then, because my property tax estimate was really high, they said that they wanted to wait till they got the real property taxing. And they said that in the meantime, I had to do the refinance with my husband. So then, I had to unfreeze his credit and do all this stuff to get it back in working. But it turned out in the end that it was just mine that could be used. After all that hassle and delaying it an additional two weeks, now I can skip two months. I went through all the hassle for nothing.
Other than that, I kinda felt that I was being taken advantage of. When I gave them my information, I gave them my property tax statement from the year prior and it was really low because this is a build, so it didn’t have an established tax pattern. But despite the fact that I already had those documents, they waited and it felt like they were intentionally waiting if they could get other tax documents rather than just going with what I had. All in all, I was a bit disappointed because I was kind of jerked around a little bit.
Also, the title company put my name on with a random lady. I had to go through the title company and tell them that this lady was not on my actual title. So, when they had to send me my refund check for overpayment for my property taxes, they had her name on it and they had to redo it. And I had to call three times just to make sure that this Martha lady wouldn't be on my title when my loan is paid off. Still, I’m happy that I was able to refinance and everyone was really nice at HomeDirect.

I was doing a rate search on Zillow. I knew that the mortgage rates have been dropping and I was looking for a mortgage to lower my monthly payments. I went with HomeDirect's 30-year fixed conventional loan. This is the sixth time I've gone through a mortgage process and very similar, but pretty smooth. The closing was on time and I was kept up to date on everything, and I didn’t really have to do too much. It took 25 to 30 days and the online application process was fairly simple.
There's a little bit of miscommunication between who the title company was gonna be though. I was getting communication from two title companies at one point. I accidentally ended up paying one that we ended up not using a $175 fee for document processing. That was a little bit of frustration. I just purchased my home a year ago and I had heard about, like an R8 or something like that, credits. I just had the title insurance paid a year ago. So, I didn’t know if it was gonna be cheaper or not. So, I was kinda hoping to get a final disclosure document for the closing fees and costs. I said I used this title company a year ago, and if I could get a closing credit with them and it was cheaper, I'd like to go ahead and use them. So, I was communicating, but then the loan underwriter said that they weren’t communicating quickly enough, so they switched to one of their preferred title companies. And I wasn’t notified of that switch until after I had already paid a $175 processing fee to the original title company.
But I think it ended up being cheaper in the end for the preferred title company, the Bank of Oklahoma, but I would have picked them from the beginning if I had known that the closing costs and fees would have been cheaper anyways regardless of the credits. They wanted a rushed paper or something from my HOA then the loan underwriter came back and said the reason why they were charging that rush fee was because they sat on my packet for 20 days or something like that and didn’t do anything, and they hadn’t done their work.
I should have never paid the rush fee because that was on them. The experience was great minus that one little hiccup. I wish that that would have been communicated a little bit earlier and more frequently. Once everything was set up and able to set up everything online, do auto pay and e-delivery of my documents, everything has been an easy and smooth process and transition. I have my first payment here, I think, in a week. So, everything good to go.

I saw HomeDirect's high reviews online and I did a first-time home buying loan with them. Their process was simple although the application and underwriting process took long. But it took two to three weeks to close because I was wanting to close on a specific date. With some companies, when you apply, they underwrite at the same time so the actual application goes much faster and the process could be done in a-week-and-a-half tops. Also, the reps of the other company I was engaging with were very attentive as they were volunteering to give me information. Even if I didn’t ask, they gave me information. Still, HomeDirect is good. The other lenders' application process would have gone faster, but they had a lot of fees while HomeDirect didn’t and that made me choose them.

We're pretty savvy about looking online for quotes and who's got good reviews in the market.

The loan officer was unresponsive, so was his assistant he sent me. We sent questions and he was combative. He kept going back to the excuse of he was the lowest in the market and that's the reason why he's so busy and he ain't got time to answer questions, and he can't get back to us. After we signed and agreed to go with HomeDirect, I barely talk to them. One time, I reached out to them and I said, "Hey, reach out to me. Let me know at least what's going on, even if it's text or email, or something." And the person responded with, "Look, I can't be calling you every day to tell you what happen. This is a process."
I'm like, "Look, man, I did your job before and I know what process it is and I know it takes time, but a quick couple words on the email, 'Hey, it's in, it's in processing right now, it's in underwriting. It takes about four or five days. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. We got what you sent in.'" It could be anything, but he did not. And then, I told him, "Hey, I barely have spoke to you since we agreed to go with your company, so don't tell me you call me every day, 'cause it doesn't happen every day. As a matter of fact, I've only talked to you like three times in two months." He was kind of rude and snappy from the get-go.
The only thing that had us staying with HomeDirect was their interest rate and their APR. The fees were more than we had paid before for the same loan with our other house, so the fees weren't that great. And when I asked for just an information or feedback, the unresponsive rep got defensive, told me that they were so busy, he didn't have time to respond, and he didn't have time to babysit me through the process. Some people just aren't suited to do the job they do.
I did his job in 2004. If I ever was caught talking to anyone like that, I wouldn't have a job. It's crazy to me, and this is a new day and age. I don't know how old he is or what, or how he was raised, but I wasn't raised to speak to people like that, especially when you're doing business with them. You don't want anyone to think that you're not appreciative. They were like an ace away from the other company that we were with already. And had we went with that company, we wouldn't have to pay any of the fees like we would have with him. And so, I went with him and the fees.
Throughout the process, I definitely regretted working with him directly. And so, we were talking about calling back and kind of just giving our feedback on the experience we had. It's been kinda hectic since it happened. And then, not only that, we were supposed to close in June. We had something that happened here, and so, I didn't put the blame on him, but I said, "Look, we’re looking at closing at the end of the month 'cause we wanna do the two mortgage payments, not that I'm not gonna pay it, but we wanna do the two mortgage payments in case we decided not to." So he knew that. We missed June's deadline and it went into July. He snapped at me about that too.
We got to the end of July when we were closing. And he knew that we wanted to close at the end of the month so we could do the two payments. And not only did he not contact us or say anything, he also did not even attempt. We were three days away from the end of the month. And so, he could have leaved on something or called us and said, "Hey, look, I know, you wanted to save the two payments, but we have to close on this day." But he didn't even contact us, email us, or call us. All he did was when we closed, he sent a doc saying that it was closed. I'm very dissatisfied. With the companies that we've dealt with in the past, I've never been treated the way he treated me. He treated me like an ugly stepchild like I was bothering him every time I called him or talked to him.

Sam, the guy I spoke with, asked me some basic questions and he gave me a good feeling from the get-go. The other companies I looked at were very reputable companies, but Sam and the lady I dealt with at HomeDirect were just above and beyond. Anything I needed, they were there. Anytime I called, they answered the phone. With the other companies, I had to leave messages and send emails. So, it worked out perfectly. I’m in a new home that I love. The rate that I received was excellent and being so low, I’m paying less than what I thought I was gonna pay. It was affordable. So, life is great.

We were selling our old house and buying a new one. I approached some other banks, but Matt called me and told me that HomeDirect carried the mortgage on my other, so he asked if we could also do business with them on our new house. So we ended up getting a VA loan from them. Since I have been with them before, the application process was pretty straightforward. I sent them the paperwork, and they approved it in less than 30 days. But they asked me the same documents twice. They should have got that the first time. But some of that also had to do with the fact that I was dealing with Matt's assistant on a couple of occasions rather than him. But overall, the process wasn't long and drawn out and it didn't require a lot of jumping through hoops. Matt worked well with me and I've recommended some friends to him. They had a good experience with him, and he did their loan in about three weeks.

Matt from HomeDirect called me and asked me if I wanted to refinance my loan. I said yes because he made sure it had dropped a half point. I used Matt before and I trust him. We have a great relationship. The process went incredibly easy and was completely painless for me. I did hardly any work. Matt collected all the information directly from me, and did the work.
The term is a 30-year fixed, and I’m paying $200 less than I was before, so I’m incredibly happy. HomeDirect has been great from my first mortgage to my refinance. There's nothing but good things I would say about it. I told Matt at the end to call me the next time a point drops half. If they'll have a point drop I’ll refi with them immediately. I’m more than happy with them.

HomeDirect Mortgage's interest rate was significantly lower than other lenders. I went with them and found that their loan specialist, Tyson, was very flexible with the multiple extensions I had to do with the house not finishing up when we thought it would. Though I see the interest rates have now dropped, that was out of HomeDirect's control. Overall, I had a good experience with HomeDirect.

HomeDirect reached out to me and let me know that they can lower my interest rate significantly. I refinanced and went through a very easy, quick and painless process. It was pretty straightforward. I've purchased houses and done a bunch of refinancing and this has been the quickest refinance of them all. It was through email for 99% of the time and when I emailed HomeDirect, their rep got back to me within a couple of hours at most. He was extremely responsive and when I was working with him, I was fully comfortable. I was fully satisfied with my experience with HomeDirect.

I liked how by refinancing and staying with HomeDirect, there was less paperwork and the process would be easy. It would be a matter of time to get documents to the underwriter. He had already proven the credit-worthiness and the value of the home. Furthermore, the interest rate would be the same so it didn't make any difference. HomeDirect's staff was tremendous to work with. I worked with Richard and at that time, we had a lien that was not covered when we first bought the place from new construction. Richard got that resolved in about three seconds. He looked at the lien and immediately knew what to do. We have title insurance and he had it taken care of as well. The process continued with zero interruption. Overall, HomeDirect was a good outfit to work with. If a friend wanted to go through a non-local like that, I would recommend them highly.

I was paying way too much to rent. I have four dogs, and I felt like it was really hard to find places that would let me have dogs. I took a new job in St. Louis, which kinda meant I knew I was gonna stick around for at least five years. If I would be given money, I might as well take advantage of the opportunity. So I got a 30-year fixed conventional mortgage through HomeDirect. My mother’s long-term partner recommended them. That was where his previous home loans had been through, and he said nothing but really positive things about his experience and the way they handle loans in general.
I worked with Ryan from HomeDirect. The mortgage was a daunting process and he was just the best. He was really, really fast to respond to emails. He gave me a call whenever he said he was going to or whenever I requested it. And he was really honest about the process. He answered all questions I had. Sometimes I felt like I had foolish questions just based on my inexperience and my age. But he never made me feel like there was a stupid question. And he knew exactly when to make jokes and when to be serious, just really reading the situation of what I needed super well. When asked how much money they thought I was going to be approved of, he gave me a number, which really helped me move forward looking for a loan. It was super easy, the way he did it, than I thought it was gonna be.
I went for an original loan value which was a lot less than the house I ended up buying. So the first process took two weeks, and when I decided I needed more money than that original loan application was for, it took another four. But I went from deciding to buy a house in early April to closing on a house in June. I own a house now, so that’s pretty cool. My dogs have a fence in backyard. They’re pretty happy with that. And I love the space I have. It’s a lot bigger and nicer than where I was living. All of a sudden, my utility costs were gonna be so much lower because the house I was able to find is just in such better quality than where I was able to rent. I'm 26 and I would rather be online than anything else. Paying for my mortgage is an entire online process. I’m super happy, and my mom’s really proud of me.

I shopped around for other rates and HomeDirect Mortgage had the lowest rate that I could find. It was the best one and Navy Federal cannot top them. It was simple working with HomeDirect and the application was quick. When I applied online, I got a call within an hour from the rep on a Sunday night and sent all the paperwork. The rep got all the stuff I needed. He was easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to, straightforward and honest. There were necessities that you have to go through during the underwriting process such as the appraisal but once everything was in, it was done. HomeDirect got me my first home, so I’m no longer paying rent.

A friend's recommendation led me to work with HomeDirect Mortgage. I got a conventional loan from them and their online application process was convenient. However, it was a bit confusing sometimes when I get updates. I just don't know which one I need to act upon. One time, I was trying to sign, and the man told me, “Don’t sign this one. It’s not finalized yet. I don't know which one is final. Still, their reps are very reachable. I worked with Matt and he was very good. I was very comfortable throughout the process.

The follow-up that I got from HomeDirect was not very good. I wasn’t aware of the meetings I was supposed to have with lawyers. They popped on me unannounced or with less than 24 hours’ notice.

HomeDirect had a good interest rate and I researched a bunch. I also really enjoyed the person I worked with to get my loan. DJ was awesome. I’m very satisfied with HomeDirect as far as the whole process of getting my loan through them and how quick it was. As far as their customer service, it’s been good. But as far as making a payment, I’m dissatisfied. I’ve been having a lot of issues with the automatic payments. I went out and set up my automatic payments in May. They called me and said, “Hey, you were due in June,” but it won’t even let me do an automatic payment until July 1st. So, that was a snafu. I was technically delinquent by a month so I wasn’t happy about that. I’m never delinquent on payments ever.
I called right away when I discovered this issue and asked, “Is it set up for July? Are you for sure it’s gonna take out the payment for July?” They said I was all good to go. Sure enough, I waited another like 10 days and no payment came out. I called and there was no payment posted so I had to call customer service again. They said they just deleted my automatic payment. So, the online system is horrible. It has not been very efficient. It’s been very frustrating.

I was getting out of my rental unit and wanted to see about owning a home. I obtained a real estate agent and that real estate agent recommended HomeDirect. We started talking to them and everything went good. The application process was very smooth. It took my wife very little time and effort to get the needed documents and fill out the paperwork. However, the agent, Tyson, did seem like he didn’t communicate very clearly or wouldn’t promptly get back to me. There were certain concerns and questions I had addressed during email, and they were never ever answered. I was a little disappointed in that, but for the most part, he was okay. He did his best to get the loan going. He did the best to fix the loan when the problems arose. It was a weird loan and he hadn’t done many of them. He even said that was the last one he was going to do.
The loan we did was a different kind of loan. There were a lot of mistakes and it was frustrating, and my closing was put off about a week and a half. There were things like the home inspector didn’t submit color photos, only black and white. They didn’t tell us that it was required to do an arsenic test. They omitted it, and it actually ended up holding the closing. Then there was supposed to be something about a square footage of the property, not the house, because it was laid as a condo property. But once those things were resolved, the closing went quickly. I’ve already gone through a foreclosure once through another marriage 8 years ago, and HomeDirect's rate was better than what I’d received back then. It was a good experience with HomeDirect. I’m a homeowner again, so I’m very happy.

I got a mortgage from HomeDirect to buy a house. There, I worked with Matt and he is the absolute man and I went with this company because of him. I was in the military and on my other house, I’ve been getting all these calls for people to streamline. Though I'm not in the mortgage business, I know more than what they were talking about. I called Matt and he knew everything. He was on-point and very intelligent. He refinanced my last house, I sold it and then I built a new one which he refinanced as well.
I upgraded to getting a frameless shower door and the builder put a framed shower door in there. He cc’d Matt and my Realtor that if we didn’t close on a certain date they wee gonna charge me $50 a day. It kinda got nasty as they were trying to play hard ball. Matt knew my frustration because he had known me before. He said that if the builder charges me $50 a day, HomeDirect would cover it. I was impressed with that.
Moreover, every time I emailed Matt, he either got right back to me or called me immediately. The process took nine months because of a hurricane. They were losing people and everybody’s house was messed up. Everybody was doing their own thing. Still, nowadays, I don’t really get that type of service and responsiveness.

I got an envelope that said Fannie Mae on it, and it indicated that they sold the loan even before I made a payment. But they said to continue to direct the payments to HomeDirect, so I cannot figure out what that means. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic experience.
