    One of my co-workers used my house six months ago and she told me that its rent was not helpful so, she decided to go with HomeDirect. Obtaining the mortgage from HomeDirect was easy and simple. I contacted them on the 3rd of February and I was just asking a question then everything went so smoothly that by the end of the month, I was walking in my house. The interactions with the customer service were good and helpful. Plus, the rate and the terms of the mortgage were fair. It was a great experience with HomeDirect.

    It was a pretty good experience with HomeDirect. We've been following Dave, the broker who works for them, and that's how we came across the company. We bought our first house in 2012 and we've done a few of our refis with him through over the years. We really like how he handles our account and how he deals with us. We know that if we approach him, he's gonna always give us the best rate. We don't have to worry about being swindled, too. We trust him and that's the biggest thing. We went with a refi with HomeDirect and we just had to send them in our document. We also had to get our appraisal and termite inspection. We feel like we got the best rate that was being offered right now, too. So, we feel pretty good. My only advice is to go with Dave.

    I applied for a mortgage since I bought a house, and HomeDirect's interest rate was lower. Customer service was thorough, prompt and very efficient. I had a lot of confidence in my mortgage broker Shawn. It was my first time buying a house, and he educated me through the whole process and let me know what was going on and what documents we needed. Any issues he saw, he went ahead and sent us a letter to explain. They were amazing and I was totally comfortable throughout the process. I would highly recommend them. They're more like a family-run business versus a big institution.

    My mortgage broker that I've worked with several times for years works for HomeDirect. Going with HomeDirect had more to do with him and my trust and faith in him than in the other lenders. HomeDirect's online application process was easy, and everything was really quick. The rates and terms of the mortgage I got were good. The steps I had to go through to secure my refinancing with HomeDirect were easy. It all goes back to my broker that I work with consistently and I've known for years. He always makes the process really easy. He's very straightforward and knowledgeable. He is also always very easy for me to reach out to. There are a lot of stuff that's in home mortgages, and it can be extremely confusing. And he really breaks everything down to make it very simple and easy to understand that I feel he always gives me the best options possible.

    I was searching for a home mortgage for a new home purchase. I liked HomeDirect's rates, and John, the rep that I spoke with was fantastic. He explained the program. We discussed the terms, and we had a home purchase and got a contract on a home. Then we began the process of putting things together and giving them the information they need and then getting the loan rate locked in. The communication process with HomeDirect was exceptional and it came out really smooth. John was also exceptional interacting wise. We had phone and e-mail contact. He constantly let me know what was going on and where the loan process was at. It was very easy to get the information that they needed back to them. The process was terrific and the service was fantastic even though we’re located several states away. He was in Kansas City and I’m here in Arizona.

    We had a fairly short timeframe because we had sold our previous home. We had to be out of it within 30 days. And so, we had to have a good, timely processing of our loan application and that happened. Since it was a VA loan, sometimes it can take a little bit longer. But we had no problem getting things done. The whole process from beginning to end took less than 30 days. We closed on the home on the 28th of February, and we started this process on the last day of January.

    The rates and the terms of the mortgage were great. Everybody else seemed to be a little bit higher, and the terms and charges were a lot higher in places that I’ve dealt with before. So with HomeDirect, I was impressed by the ability to provide the rate and very minimal processing charges. I can’t say enough about working with them. They were the best I’ve run across in several years, and I bought almost 20 different homes in the last 20 years.

    I had a VA loan with HomeDirect, which was recommended by my realtor. I got the pre-approval, but once the pre-approval was good, it took a week or two before I had all the documents submitted to them. I filled out some application paperwork, and submitted my income and tax return and proof of employment. They responded to everything quickly and things went smoothly. They were professional and they provided a competitive rate. I would definitely recommend them.

    We were looking to refinance and HomeDirect came up with a high rating. I liked their rates as well and the fact that I was told they wouldn’t sell our mortgage. About three months prior, I had a poor-star current mortgage company and at the same time, the people I have my older loan with approached me. And I did not trust their whole persona and they quoted me a higher rate. The rate that I got from HomeDirect was much better than either of those two. The process of getting an FHA loan from them was great and the application and underwriting process took less than 30 days. I would email documents in and everything was done on site. And then once that was all approved, if there was anything else, I sent it in, then ultimately, the person came to the house to do the settlement.

    Everybody at HomeDirect was upfront. If I had any additional questions or concerns, they either directed me where I needed to go to find it or explained it out to me. I dealt with Shawn and he went the extra mile to fully explain everything. Working with HomeDirect made my life better so I can get rid of bills. I'd tell my friends that I had a great experience and to go for it.

    I applied for mortgage with HomeDirect for a home purchase. The process was simple and everything was online. I did mostly everything on my phone, which was helpful. The whole process was three weeks from when the seller accepted the offer until we closed, and for me, three weeks is good. Seth was responsive and any time I needed something, he got back to me usually within 10 minutes. Also, the rates and the terms were all right, and everything was in black and white for me.

    I got a referral for HomeDirect from my realtor. Everything was based on my intended closing date 'cause I had to leave my previous apartment. We agreed on a date and then the gentleman walked with that date. He was great. The issues on my side had to do with my income taxes. We had to wait for my tax papers to come in for the year, and all of that made the process more extensive because we gotta wait for the tax papers to come. They were factoring my income based on 2018 earnings, so that would show my taxes that were filed. I was not able to put down a substantive amount down as a deposit, but their rate is competitive compared with what's out there.

    One of the challenges that HomeDirect had was with the underwriting folks, but they did an amazing job trying to get on their schedule and trying to move it. But next time, I'd rather have them let me know everything I need upfront, 'cause we did a lot of back and forth with the underwriting. I understand that there were issues that came up as the processing was being done, but it would be nice for them to be more proactive. It was daunting for me because my wife was pregnant at that time. Nonetheless, everything went well.

    Given the good rates and terms, and being an employee, I went straight to HomeDirect to work on a refinance. It was so easy to do, and Aspen and her assistant were fantastic. They were organized and they kept me informed. They got everything upfront. I didn’t have to piecemeal the deal and have to send them things throughout the process. It was seamless. The communication was also excellent and it kept the process moving. They were really responsive if I had any question and sometimes they even respond to me in the evenings. There was no wasted time in between. They closed it in three weeks, which is huge for a refi. And because of this refi, I was able to consolidate some debt. So, it was great.

    HomeDirect had a favorable rate and a good follow-up. I got a 15-year fixed loan and the process was very straightforward and very open. The online application process had gone very well. The application and underwriting process took about a week or two to get it passed straight away. But once they started, the payoff was acquiring a mortgage. It’s on schedule. It took about a month.

    Working with HomeDirect's representatives went very well. There were no hitches in any of the activities and everything went according to plan. The key rep kept me aware of the activities that were going on, underwriter and supporting software, so there weren’t any surprises. They also direct me to the best mortgage conditions. I am satisfied with HomeDirect. Working with them supported my plan for refinancing and they do it in a prompt and professional manner.

    I had looked at my normal lender and this was my third VA loan. HomeDirect had a better 30-year fixed rate. They had a package that met my needs better. It was the best rate I could find. What HomeDirect offered was the five-year adjustable ARM. And so, I went with them. The VA is pretty standard, and it has changed since 9-11. And since 2008, it has changed as well. So there's additional paperwork, but it would just be the standard VA paperwork.

    I talked in person with my representative in Oklahoma, and his name is Rick. He was the same mortgage officer who helps the person that made the VA purchase in the neighborhood where I'm buying. I felt at ease because he had already done one with the same builder. The process was exceptional. It was better than the previous lender that I had gone through twice before. The previous lender that I had already started the process was having trouble coming up with that fixed rate, so I transitioned over to HomeDirect's loan five weeks prior to closing. HomeDirect was ready within three weeks to close. The underwriting process came in rapidly, especially for the VA. I would highly recommend HomeDirect for a similar loan instrument. It was the most streamlined VA of the three that I've gotten.

    HomeDirect's rate is good. Although it wasn't the best, I liked how they handled the business so I went with it. There was also another company that I checked and they would have been better. But they weren't as on the ball as HomeDirect was. I was originally going with Quicken but their rep irritated me. With HomeDirect, the application process was smooth and fairly easy. We communicated with the loan officer mostly through text messages and if I had something to sign, she would just email me. But it was cumbersome with all the emails back and forth just to sign the documents. Also, during the initial talk, she said that they were the direct lender and that they wouldn't sell the loan. But the other day, I got paperwork in the mail saying they sold my loan and that caught me off guard. Still, I'm happy with their service.

    I have always had a good experience with HomeDirect. I’ve had mortgages from them for about five years now and I worked with them on many refinances. I refinanced to pay off my roof because I needed a new roof. I worked with Nate a few times. I just send him an email saying that I am looking to refinance and needed to pull money out. He did pretty much everything and all I had to do was sign papers and escrow and he gave me the numbers. It was a very pleasant experience working with somebody that I worked with before.

    The process should have only taken about six weeks but it took two and a half months as I ran into a problem with the VA because the house roof was leaking. It took a little longer to get the clearance from the VA. I had to wait until the house was repaired first and then get the VA to come back out and inspect it. Then, they said okay to HomeDirect. Given that, the rates went up a bit but that was not on their control. The terms seemed all about the same that I’ve had in the past five years, so it didn’t bother me too much. I don’t see like they’re ripping me off at all.

    Other lenders wouldn’t shoot straight with me. I would ask them for the latest VA rate and what we are looking at in payments, and I would get an answer that it could change every day. In Zillow, they rated the finance companies and HomeDirect was rated 5 stars. I thought I would check them out as there’s nobody rated 5 stars. All of a sudden, I got straight answers. The rep gave me a fantastic interest rate and they communicated with me all the way through. I had the exact same interest rate on closing date. My own agent and also the closing agent couldn’t believe I got that interest rate.

    HomeDirect did everything they said and I wouldn’t even consider going with anybody else. The rep answered the phone and kept his word.

    We were buying a new home so we were looking into getting a mortgage. HomeDirect's rates were the lowest among all the lenders we talked to. I was suspicious that the rate was so low, but then I read the reviews, and everyone had excellent reviews about the company, so it instilled in us more confidence to go with them. Our application process with HomeDirect was very smooth. We had no hiccups. If there were any problems, they let us know and we tried to resolve it with them. We had applied early and then we were floating our interest rate for a while. But once we locked it and our actual signing day, everything went very fast. We were happy with the entire process.

Actually, we were gonna go with somebody else and since we've had such a rapport with him, we called him first to tell him of the interest rate that we got and he said that he could do better. Because it was a holiday, the application and underwriting process took a little bit longer but it was not bad. The actual portal got a little confusing a little bit, but once we got used to them, it was a nice, secure way of doing things. It's a great record keeper too. The rates we got were very fair.

Kent seems to be very knowledgeable and efficient. Any time we have a problem with the computer, and he's not a computer geek, but he can send us the right help. He's always giving us good feedback on what we need to go to get this done. If ever we have any questions, it is very easy to get a hold of him. Usually, he responds either through email or if it's a little complicated, he'll call us or we'll call him.

    I've been dealing with HomeDirect and have had the same mortgage guy for four years. His name was Jim and he was really nice, very informative and very easy to work with. He got me a good rate and I am happy with the rate and terms I got. I have a VA loan and he’ll call sometimes if he sees that it has been six months and if I can get an IRRRL. He’ll also call if there are some benefits to me then let me know what is available and if I wanna change. He’ll sometimes call too to check in and ask how everything was going on in Tennessee.

    HomeDirect’s application process was very easy and everything was completed in less than a month. Still, it could have moved around within two weeks if it wasn’t for me trying to get the documents in when they were waiting on when I would return them. Despite that issue, everybody that I've dealt with in the whole process, specifically Jim, had been very open. They were not forceful when I first got the loan. They told me what they can offer and also said to call them back if I was interested. Other mortgage companies would blow my phone up and I would get annoyed because they disturbed me at work. I felt that Jim was very confident in what the company had to offer, so he didn’t need to blow up my phone. So, I called him back and I've been working with him ever since.

It was a pleasant process to work with the broker. The representative was diligent and the information he provided was accurate. There were no hiding items. There were some delays, though, and the application and underwriting process took around three weeks. I compared the rate and the terms of the mortgage with Bank of America's, but HomeDirect's was better, and that was the reason I chose them.

    I have recently had an insurance claim and my insurance company has been great to deal with. But getting the claim closed on the mortgage side has been a pain in the butt to say the least. The website never works, the auto call center is useless. The process is unclear difficult and just another headache on top of getting all the repairs done.

    The application process at HomeDirect was very simple. We did it all online and they were most helpful. We moved over to Seattle from Idaho so we emailed everything. They were very clear in their directions and they moved along. I met the closing date without an issue. In addition, when our loan guy, Thatcher, sent me the email, and I responded back to him that we were interested, he came back with a quote of what it might be and got on the phone and talked it through with him. We then started the process and he did a wonderful job. I can't recommend him high enough. In fact, I gave his name and contact information to our Realtor. We also did Washington Federal because we're both retired recently. HomeDirect did a much better job, and with no fees and a lower interest rate. Everything went perfectly.

He was so professional and answered my questions on time. I worked with different mortgage companies and they didn't respond to my emails. But Matthew was always there because it took us almost three years to find the house. I’ve been working with him for a long time, and he was very patient. Whenever I needed an offer letter, he always provided it to me on time. He was responsible and explained to me everything. The company is in Oklahoma and I’m in New York, so there was kind of miscommunication between the bank attorney and their office. But other than that, everything was easy.

When I saw what HomeDirect had advertised for rates, I was a little skeptical since they were lower than everyone else's. I talked to the mortgage lender, and he explained the process to me, and that was what kinda sold me on it. The application process was super straightforward. The gentleman that I was assigned to was Tyson, and he and his partner, Donna, made things super simple. Tyson was awesome. He was available day and night. We were going through the approval process over the Christmas holiday and I know that I had questions for him, and he was taking my calls while he and his wife were driving eight hours cross country. So he really went above and beyond. Donna was the organizational genius behind the whole thing. She kept me on track and made sure that my documentation was in order and that I filled it out correctly.

    The application and underwriting process was quick. Our house was still being built when we started, so most of the hang up was from the builder's side. Everything on the mortgage side was more than satisfactory. The rate and terms of the mortgage were great. I couldn't be happier. I shopped around. Tyson was the first person I talked to and the person I went with. He gave the rate that he had quoted me, and there are no fees on top of that.

The interactions I had with their reps were very relaxing and smooth. Jim worked with me for a while and with the mortgage rate, we knew what was going on. When the other company I was dealing with was gonna give me $42,000 money back and move my mortgage rate to $512,000, Jim came out and put the same amount needed.

    He's gonna give me $52,000 with $1,100 in origination fees, and we’re still getting still the overall loan amount. And being able to work with me, he went to a lot of effort with what he had done. That made us decide to stay with them even though there was a local company here in Virginia that’s close by. Their rates are the same and everybody else is comparable but Jim had done a little legwork. HomeDirect Mortgage is great and I recommended Jim to a company who’s giving me a roof estimate.

    If it was gonna take eight weeks, I’m gonna wait till this thing resets and see where my current mortgage is because I was paying half in principal every day. When he said they would get me done in three to four weeks, I was like, “Wow.” So, we started the process. Things went along smoothly and he stayed right on it. I would refer anybody to him.

    We're in Pennsylvania and we were buying a house in New York. We got a lot of phone calls from other mortgage companies, and we tried to find the best rate. But because HomeDirect was gonna give us 1,800 reimbursement towards our closing, we went with them and got a conventional mortgage. I worked with Dave, and he was friendly. He was clear and he answered the questions directly. He walked us through the details and through any anticipated fees on closing that other mortgage companies hadn’t done.

    The application process with HomeDirect, however, was ridiculous and it probably took exactly the amount of time it was supposed to take since purchasing in New York is a traditional nightmare. But it's HomeDirect's underwriting company that needed improving. We couldn’t get closure because any time we put money into our checking account from a source which they didn’t immediately recognize, like a loan repayment, they were afraid. Then those outside agencies that were asked to investigate the legitimacy of our work, would be wondering where the money came from. So we'd start a whole new discussion process and we had to call the bank and tell them that because they were challenged.

    Two weeks before the actual closing, we started getting similar checks that we were gonna use to pay down what was still in our line. But our line was part of what they had already okayed even though it was inflated. We sat on the check and didn’t dare to deposit them for two weeks until the day after closing so no one would get upset that we have gotten more money from a legitimate source. It was a really tough situation. Also, this thing about New York incurred an extra $1,000 to us because everybody has to have a lawyer in New York- the seller, the buyer, and the mortgage company- but we had to pay for the mortgage company, which wasn’t quite fair, and our own. Still, we made sure of all the things and the rep was quite helpful. He was neat and he led us through nicely. He would call if he needed something and we’d call if we wanted clarity.

The application process online was straightforward and a little bit positive. It was easy to complete and it was quick. It was weird though that I would get emails saying that I had new actions in my file, but then I would go to my file and it was just a note that there had been actions on my file. The note didn’t say one way or another what had transpired. Nevertheless, when I called Ronald, he was able to explain exactly what happened or what was going on.

    The rate of the mortgage I received was very competitive, and it was in line with the other competitive offers. My biggest concern, however, was that HomeDirect is not from the local area in which I was purchasing, so they wouldn’t have the right connections to inspections or to the VA home appraiser. However, being a large company, they indeed have those connections, which alleviated all my fears and kind of a selling point where the local guy was trying to get me to come away from them.

We had a very rigid closing structure that we needed based on where we were living and the fact that we were buying from a family member, closing on time was very important to us.

    I tell everybody about him. I'm happy to do further stuff and I would strongly recommend for Mark. He's very experienced in the field and he was always accessible. He gave me his personal cell number and we exchanged texts every weekend, so he put a lot of concern, things that could fester aren't actually a threat. He was able to disarm some of those concerns way earlier and we've been talking for almost years as this matured and even though I wasn’t really even in the window into getting this home. He gave me the time and talked to me for an hour while trying to get kind of a planning strategy to save for it. So, there was definitely a partnership there, far beyond a commission.

    HomeDirect offered the lowest interest rates that I was able to find. I applied for a mortgage for a new home purchase and the whole process took roughly 25 days. The process was not difficult and the rep I worked with was friendly and informative. It seemed like Brian was doing the best he could to get us what we wanted and needed. Working with HomeDirect got me a home and it all went pretty straightforward. I appreciate the work that was done on my behalf.

    When buying a home, some realtors and people who buy houses before you give horror stories. My father purchased his house through HomeDirect so I worked with them as well and I had an awesome experience. Obtaining the mortgage was simple despite having a couple of hiccups on my end. Everybody was vying for business and because I was at the tail-end of my alimony, the mortgage company wouldn’t accept it. But when I told them I found someone else that would accept it, they said that they could still work with me. They gave me an answer within an hour of me telling them that. I probably would have preferred them to do a little more research into it prior to me having to say I had somebody else. Still, it all worked out.

    The online application was easy and straightforward. I started the process in early November and it was pretty much said and done by mid-December. The closing went according to plan. The people I worked with were excellent. They responded to all my questions in a timely manner and were always available. Everything was black-and-white. I was pleased with everything and I got the house.

    I am a Bank of Oklahoma employee and we get some discounts using our affiliated company. So, when I thought the rates were raising, I wanted to get a mortgage before the rates took off. HomeDirect’s process was easy. I talked with my mortgage banker at least once over the phone but we did everything by email. I applied and they got back with me in terms of what I qualified for and my limits. I had a preapproval letter within a week and once I found a home after mine sold, they were very easy to work with. They sent me all the documents that I needed to fill out and complete. Everything went very smoothly.

    The communication between me and their rep went fine. They were very open with the rates and fees and how much the mortgage was and then CIs. They kept me updated in terms of documents to sign or process. I got a very reasonable rate and terms. They were really good compared to any competitors. I did a VA loan and HomeDirect was one of the few around my area that does VA loans as well so it was nice working with them.

    We were purchasing a new home and went for a VA loan with HomeDirect. The online application process was very easy compared to our last home mortgage. The rep told us that the application and underwriting process would take a certain amount of days but it was a lot shorter time. Dave, our lender, was amazing. He was one of the nicest people I've worked with. Everything, he was on it immediately. He answered any questions I had and he was always available to talk. I was very comfortable with the entire process and HomeDirect's customer service was wonderful. If I had any questions, I would call and the reps would answer the phone or call me back immediately.

    I have had a positive experience with HomeDirect from start to finish. At first, I used an app where I submitted some information and then eight different mortgage companies popped up on the screen that I can pick from. HomeDirect had a great interest rate and their rep contacted me immediately. He was very forthright about what my options were and gave good advice. He was very easy and accessible to get a hold of either through email, phone calls, text messages. He was also very knowledgeable of the loan because I was using a VA loan and I felt comfortable with him. Everything went well so I stuck with them.

    I got very reasonable, forthright and clear mortgage rates and terms. It wasn't my first mortgage so I understood the process well. It was a 30-year fixed rate so, there was nothing hidden in that case. But, when I was working with them, it was a little tough as they had a hard time finding the bank when I was trying to submit my homeowners' insurance for closing. The lady I was working with had to get some help but the other lady was able to find it within a few minutes. Other than that, I was very happy with HomeDirect.

    I bought a home when I was 19 and this is the first time I've bought again in 10 years. A friend of mine had used HomeDirect on his house and it was a pretty seamless process. So, he gave me his agent’s name and I called him up and went from there. The agent, Brian, directed me to file the application. I got the pre-approval then I got set up in the portal. Everything was easy through the portal and all was cut-and-dry. They would assign me a task like what documents I needed to upload and I went through and got all that uploaded. It got a little bit more stressful towards the closing, which it always does and should be expected, since they kept requiring more items towards the end. The only thing that slowed me down came from the termite inspection and others that I had to get. All in all, the application and underwriting took about a month.

    The loan officer who I worked with was great and really responsive. He took my calls, which were sometimes late at night, trying to get him fill up forms. He was willing to work with me when I was trying to explore options as far as what credits I wanted and adjusting the interest rate. He had no problem in re-running the numbers several times so I could see my full range of options.

    The rate and terms I got were good. The initial rate was the lowest I found and I've gone to 4 different banks and 4 different lenders. The initial one that they came back with was lower then it ended up needing to go up a bit when starting to get some credits for closing. But overall, the rate was great and even after I got my credit at the closing, it was still lower than most of the other banks. There was one other bank that had a lower interest rate but that was without any credit so it probably would have been higher by the time I added the credits in. HomeDirect definitely made the whole process of home buying easy. Even on the preliminary preapproval side, I didn’t go any further than that with the other bank. I'm sure I would have found another lender if I had to, but HomeDirect was the easiest to work with. I had a good experience with them.

    We were buying our first home and went with a VA home loan. Then, we went through a third-party one that sent us lots of different quotes from tons of different mortgage companies. HomeDirect Mortgage had a much better interest rate right off the bat and they were able to waive a lot of fees for us that were associated with the VA home loan and other closing costs. On top of that, they were able to work it out, so I was able to waive my property taxes and monthly mortgage in my escrow because I showed them that I qualified for a property tax-free in my area. None of the other companies were willing to do any of those things. Shawn was our rep and he was very helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely easy to get a hold of any time of the day or night. He was also willing to talk to me and my wife any time we send emails.

    HomeDirect ran both of me and my wife's credit and they got us our interest rate, which was a much better interest rate and then, we eventually picked our house and we settled on it. We picked the closing date and they locked it for us. The process was much faster. Everything was pretty much handled within two weeks, besides all the extra stuff that we were doing. We were just tying that up as we got closer to our closing date ‘cause it was two months away. The lending process itself was really easy. The only thing that I need to get a hold of them and find out was they ran my credit again after I closed. That wasn't good and I didn't know why they did that. That would be my only complaint at the moment and that might get resolved.

    I'm happy with HomeDirect. They definitely made it pretty stress-free as far as the whole process of buying our first home. They went out of their way to work out all those extra little things for me. I don't have to worry about my taxes every month, which is over $1,000 in my home.

    Our Realtor put us in contact with Ronald of HomeDirect and kinda went through it that way. We considered other lenders but he was quicker to get what we wanted and he was able to provide us the best rate upfront. Ronald was very easy to get in touch with. If we couldn't get him to answer right then, he usually called back pretty soon afterward.

    This is our first time buying a house so the entire thing was a trial by fire, and every step through it was marred with some sort of ridiculous bureaucracy that I’m not used to 'cause I'm in the army. There was quite a bit of paperwork I needed to fill out. I bought plenty of things before and buying a house was probably could have been the most absolutely painful thing in the world for us. For somebody to sit there and tell me exactly how much my mortgage is gonna be for a month was just absolutely ridiculous. But our Realtors and Ronald were really good. They made it as painless as possible although there was still a lot of red tape to go through no matter how easy they tried to make it. It wasn't anything on our part or on their part, it was just the process itself. It was going through the motions.

    I'd like to sit and write it out in person and I'm not a fan of doing things online. However, due to the distance, it wasn't feasible. We bought a house in Georgia while I was living in Louisiana, and our mortgage is out of Oklahoma where a VA coming from Washington, DC. So, the online was literally the only way to do it other than mailing the document or we wouldn't have gotten the process done in 35 days.

    I would have liked to have seen a list of, "This is how it works.” Show me the brass tacks, almost like a flowchart, instead of showing me the closing documentation which everything is categorized by number and then explaining to me by number what each piece of it is and where each individual or fee went to. It seemed like every time I turned around, there was some sort of fee that--not necessarily we always had to pay. Sometimes, the seller had to pay it or pulled out of the good interest money.

    They could just give me a piece of paper or two, tell me everybody that's involved, and where they're coming out of, because there were a couple of times where I saw there was a charge coming out of some other location, and that was some obscure fee that we had to go through this guy to get that kind of deal. A lot of that would probably have been easier had we all been able to sit down in one location and go over everything.

    There were some errors the day before closing that we picked up out of the CDO, that had we all been able to just sit down and talk about it, we would have seen it. It was later explained to us it wasn't an error, but there was some miscommunication. It had us down for an interest rate of 4.75% and when we explained that we were gonna buy down to 4, which was the lowest we could buy down to, they said okay and that would be the rate we'd get on our closing document. The day before closing comes around, they said no and that needed to reflect what we were gonna buy it down to. Our Realtor called Ronald and they had a conversation. Towards the end, communication needs to be more, rather than less, as opposed to any other point in the process.

    All of this was kinda new to me. It took me a while to wrap my head around that my interest rate was something that was locked in at that time whatever the market would say it would be, but I could only buy it down so much. I find that kind of ridiculous and that to me doesn't make any sense. That was never really explained to me why I couldn't do that. I had to go do my own research, which a lot of this was me doing my own research. They should be upfront and maybe have a brief explanation as to why I couldn't buy down past 4. But it was more of a pleasant experience than it could have been. The lender was very professional and really helped us through the process. All the comments I just made aside, they did actually a really good job, and we appreciate it.

    I looked at several different lenders, then I went out and looked at HomeDirect's website and logged in and was able to find my way around. It was quick and they were willing to give me a good interest rate. I was a little nervous at the beginning, dealing with an online organization that I couldn't walk down there and tell them I've got a problem. I decided to give the online a shot with HomeDirect and I was very happy with it. The underwriting took three weeks which I thought was pretty fast. But part of it was waiting on the lawyers to do the final paperwork. We got to a point where we couldn't go any further until we have the final closing statement.

    The gentleman I was working with was very responsive. I could get ahold of him, or if I left a message, he’d call me right back or email me. He had another guy that was helping him. They were asking for standard normal documentation, which as someone who's retired, I wasn't able to provide. I didn't have the $40,000 I needed in my checking account. I had to pull it out of my retirement account and put it in my checking account, but I wasn't able to provide a bank statement because I had to wait 30 days to get another one. The guys wouldn't accept a statement from my retirement account because that was not normal. Most people don't have access to retirement accounts, because they're not 59 and a half. So, to withdraw money out of my IRA or 401(k), I have to be over 59 and a half. Normally, most people can't use those accounts to qualify for the loan.

    I said to the guy that I'm taking a $350,000 mortgage, and I got $3 million in the bank, and they tell me that I don't qualify. He said that I couldn't use that money. I told him that I could and they needed to go back and figure this out. They came back quickly and within the same day, they said that they would confirm and take it. HomeDirect was easy and they were right on the ball. I was very pleased with them.

Still, I'm not a huge fan of how they did the e-disclosures and the doc storage. It was a system wherein I get an email, then after a certain number of days, it goes away. It would be nice if there was some way to go into a website, sign in, and have access to your loan estimate, closing disclosures, and all of that in one place.

The way he approached it was very good. The transparency was important to me and I felt that he wasn't trying to hide anything. He was making sure I was informed before making a decision. He's a 30-year veteran in this so he knew how things went and it was very evident that he was competent. He sold me by giving information and facts, not just smoke and mirrors type thing.

So everything was well in place by that time to be able to do that. I thought that the way the online website interface work basically, I just went in and they said, "This is what we need, and that would give you a task," and then I would just go down through the tasks and upload the documents into that portal.

    If I emailed John and his assistant, they were very responsive. Anytime they felt something that needed like a personal touch, they would just give me a phone call and say that they put this in there and they wanna make sure X, Y, and Z just answered me, the things would get done quickly, or get it done correctly so that the process can continue to flow smoothly.

We had it done within a month.

    We didn’t have any issues. We were easy clients to work with and we had good credit. Also, we didn’t have to bring up anything on our credit or needed something to be fixed. That made it easier for the rep to make everything work well. Any questions and anything that we had, she quickly responded and if it needed to be fixed, it got fixed. The rates came in at just about exactly what they said they would when we first started. I knew it was gonna be a little bit higher than the 30-year we had, but the payment ended up just being a little bit more than the 30-year, and we dropped 12 years off of it because we had already paid four into it. We are happy with HomeDirect's refinance and we would definitely tell others to inquire with them. Their information that was sent out was very prompt. I never would have thought 15 years ago that we could refinance a house on a phone. I was proven wrong because that's how it's done now.

    I like the fact that HomeDirect doesn't sell the mortgage and that is one key factor why I went with it after my research. I spent 30 plus years with my company before I retired, and I had a mortgage with my company moving every three years. I also had my mortgage with my company’s credit union and they sold the mortgage, and it really pissed me off. Also, HomeDirect was expedient in their response. They did a good job with the online application process and I was really most impressed with. The person that got back to me, Dan, was more professional and actually followed up with a phone call, which personalized the service, which I liked. I looked up his credentials online and in doing that, I wanted to make sure that before I gave all my personal information, that I wasn’t gonna be scammed. So, I was giving questions through the process to make sure that I was not being scammed.

    He filled everything out. All I had to do was review and sign off on it. There were only a few minor mistakes and I could just go back and tell him that he needed to do this on the review process, and he would correct it and send it back. And then, I would review it and electronically sign it. There were three pieces of paperwork that were not in the electronic paperwork and at that point, I sold my house in Houston and I was in a build. I didn’t have my home office and so I couldn't fax, print out, or easily sign and get the stuff back to him. I would have preferred everything electronically where I could’ve reviewed it. Also, we had to do all of the stuff twice and that was a little burdensome. I didn’t know why it had to be like that.

    The process started right around June and it didn’t finalize ‘til December because it was a new home build. With a new home build, there are a lot of steps that go through it that needed to be done. And so, the communication loop between Dan, the builder, and the sales agent were dropped quite a few times, and I had to run around and manage that, and I didn’t like that. If I didn't do that and become more of a mini project manager and run around and get things done and make sure that everybody was in contact, then it would delay the closing even further than it was delayed.

    The closing became delayed because the assessor didn't call out the appraiser. Once the assessor called up the appraiser, he didn't get back to us that there were problems with the appraiser. It was a minor thing that could have been handled right at the home site and buttoned up. Also, we didn’t know there was a 72-hour wait time before the closing and that wasn’t communicated back. That was all done on a Friday and so that clock didn’t start ‘til Monday morning. The appraiser came back the second time on a Friday afternoon, turned around and came back and redid it. That could have happened two weeks prior and we could have made the original closing date. HomeBridge just needed to be able to wrap up all the communication ‘cause it was dropped and the personal touch was not quite there.

    In hindsight, if I would have done this loan differently, I would have gone to a local place and worked with a bank just because I would have had a person. But I got along with Dan really well. If he would have been here, I would have worked with him. I’m not complaining about them, it’s just that there were a lot of little things that couldn't be done over the internet. You have to be able to go in and develop that relationship and go in and take care of things, and sometimes, this is one of them. When you’re running into a wall, you just have to be able to get in the car and take care of it. However, the rate and terms I got were pretty good. I was waiting and waiting, and then interest rates were going up, so I went ahead and locked in. Then Dan got me a little bit of a lower percentage. I’m a veteran, so I went through the VA and that part was good.

    I was researching online, trying to call and shop around for a mortgage, and I came upon HomeDirect. Their rates were similar with the other companies but when it came down to total closing costs, I was swayed to go with HomeDirect because there were no administrative fees with them and that was really helpful. Then, for the rate that I got, I also got a credit at closing and no other company was doing that. Their online application process was easy and everything went well. Then, it was a few days before we got the approval and the process was completed in 60 days.

    HomeDirect's reps worked very well with me to close the loan. Specifically, Ryan, the rep who assisted me, was reachable and kept me updated. We worked with a builder to get the house built, so he was included on all the emails and correspondence. He also kind of weighed in when he needed to update me in the loop and I was very comfortable with him. Aside from that, I was very pleased with the terms of the mortgage and I’d recommend HomeDirect.

He followed up on stuff and took care of business, and he was helpful with my situation. I was happy with the rate that I got. The only thing I had a little issue with was once I closed, I didn’t get any mail or any information. I had to follow up so I'd figured out when my payment was due. I got emails or questionnaire about my experience before I got any information about my actual loan. So, that was a little confusing, and it kinda threw me off a little bit.

    I am a veteran and when I purchased a new home, I applied for refinancing with HomeDirect as they represented the VA. Their application process was simple and it took about two months for the underwriting and application process. I was able to contact their customer service through phone but, I would rather have the lending process done face-to-face than online. HomeDirect needs to be a little more straightforward with their overall process and improve in getting better numbers back to the person buying a house.

    Moreover, the rates I got could have been better. I had excellent credit but they did not do enough to keep my mortgage payment down. I am smart with money and I did my own calculations. I just hope I don’t struggle. All in all, I’m very dissatisfied with my experience with HomeDirect. They should do more for the veterans instead of saying that they represent the veterans and being one, I don’t think they helped me out as much as they said they were going to.

    After I let my son and his three kids rent and live in the house that I bought, I looked for another house. I looked into getting a mortgage and since I already had one with HomeDirect Mortgage, I figured that getting one from them would be the easiest way to go. Getting ahold of their customer service was easy and my interactions with them were normally done through their website. There were occasional calls too.

    The agreement on the house that I was looking at was 100 and HomeDirect pre-approved me at 110. However, when the actual loan came through, it was only 77. The guy figured everything wrong and I didn't qualify for 110. My parents gifted me 25 and that fixed the issue. It would have been nice if HomeDirect informed me about how much I was qualified for upfront. Also, the application and underwriting processes could have been a little faster. It took at least four weeks. One minute, they were asking for this form, and then, later on, they needed another one. It was one thing after the other. But then everything else wasn't too bad.

    I shopped several different folks and HomeDirect was the most forward, the most authentic, and laid it out like it was. They better at explaining and it wasn't a puppy mill operation. The application process was very easy and professional. Any time you get a mortgage, there's a lot of stuff that you had to provide. And then the state of Texas caused us to do some strange things as well, but we did that. I like the way Matt and Steve did their business. The application and underwriting took like a month and a half but there was an additional month and a half because of the requirements from the state of Texas.

    My wife and I both had to sign and we got stuff on two separate emails. If keeping up of who signed which and where would all come on on one email, so we could sign it all together, it would have been easier. Also, I have asked a couple of times where my payment coupon is for February. They said they would get it out and they were in the process of doing that. I haven't received it yet. It seemed like they should've gotten it out once the thing closed rather than wait for 15 days. But it was good with the customer service. The two gentlemen I worked through, Matt and Steve, were with it all the way. There was no lag time, they were in communication all the time, they followed up, and there was no upselling on this and that.

We purchased other homes in the past, and this was pretty much the smoothest transaction that I've ever had for a home purchase.

    About eight months ago I went with Veteran United and they sent an appraiser out who appraised the house for a little over 115,000 which I thought was high. Then when I decided to go ahead for the market and try again, I didn't go with them. I had my initial call with the HomeDirect rep and the consensus was they felt comfortable. They put the paperwork in the initial loan and the mortgage figure was around 150. Then, I came back and told them I had the house appraised 'cause I was gonna refinance and switch it over to VA. I also had to pay 500 bucks for an appraiser and I didn't feel comfortable doing that again.

    I told them that if they scheduled a VA appraiser and it was the same guy who couldn't see and didn't do anything, I wasn't gonna let him on the property and that I was gonna cancel the mortgage. I waited for two days and when the guy called, I asked him his name and he was the same guy. I quickly called HomeDirect and told them I was gonna stop and not gonna pay 500 bucks to have them do the same appraisal. They said they don't deal with that and that they would get right back to the VA.

    They went through a process and I had to wait three or four days. Then I got a call from another appraiser and they sent another person out. It came back pretty much exactly but they weren't very far off at 1,000 bucks. I told them I was comfortable with their figure and they sent me a list of what they thought were comparable and where they came up with their figure. They were over my figure a little bit so I decided to go ahead.

    The refinance was set up to go fairly quickly and once I completed all the information that was needed, it took a couple of days where everything was electronically signed. The electronic signing and the feedback helped an awful lot and the process was so fast. I had an issue in the end and they sent out a notary to sign all the documents. But the people they contracted to do it weren't very professional. I made the appointment time but then I was told that the notary guy was sick and he couldn't make it.

Plus, my payment went up but I got some extra money out of the refinance, so I paid off a few other bills. All in all, I loved my experience with Home Direct. Casey took care of me and I give him props for that.

    I applied for a mortgage through HomeDirect for a new home purchase. HomeDirect was who my parents went with and since they’re also a bank, there was no origination fee. I went with a conventional loan and their online application process was easy and straightforward. It took less than a month from application till closing. There were two people that I interacted with, Casey and Anthony, and both were quick to respond. Casey was available for the majority of the time. The only reason we couldn’t contact Anthony was because he had some service to go somewhere but Casey followed up quickly after. I knew that they were trying to sell a mortgage, but I didn’t feel like they were trying to push something that I didn’t want. They were very straightforward and honest. HomeDirect's rate and terms were good and I'm happy with it.

    I looked at a couple of different lenders for my new home purchase, and at that time, HomeDirect offered the absolute rates. Their rate was half a percentage below everybody else that I talked to, which was great. Working with them was just so much easier than with anyone else. I got a VA loan and their online application process was super easy. This house was in the process of being built then and as soon as the inspector came in and the appraisal was done, we closed in about five days.

    Ryan, the agent I worked with, was a really great guy. He answered any question I had any time I called and has made the process really, really easy for me. Considering I’m in Alaska and he was in Kansas, there were times that we couldn’t get a hold of each other on the phone. But any time I called him and had to leave a voicemail, generally, within an hour, I would get a callback. So, I’m pleased with him. Overall, HomeDirect kept the process really, really, simple, and they were very helpful all throughout. I'd recommend them to people I know that are looking to buy a home.

    I'm an employee of BOK and I applied for a refinance at HomeDirect Mortgage. I went with the 30-year fixed program and it was not really beneficial. The application took about 30 days to be completed and I was frustrated with the whole process. Reading back and forth, the electronic disclosure statements didn’t get correctly sent so we had to delay closing. I was frustrated with the whole process and I didn’t think it was near as smooth as it should have been.

    Also, HomeDirect was not as competitive as I would’ve expected. Even so, the interaction I had with Sam, the rep, was good. 75% of the time, he was very responsive and he emailed me back immediately. He would've given a little more clarity on the steps but the disclosure statement was sort of out of his hands. Aside from that, he told me that HomeDirect could match the rates of other companies but I was not asking them to match others. I was asking them to give me their best deal. If I was going to evaluate the economics, I would’ve picked another lender. At the time, the competitor that I was working with was USAA and USAA was almost second to none. But I didn’t go with them because I’m an employee at the bank and I felt obligated that I should stay with the bank solution. Overall, I was satisfied with HomeDirect Mortgage but I would not recommend them.

    We had been leasing the house that we purchased for five years, so we were looking to get into traditional financing for it. The process at HomeDirect took a lot longer than we thought it was gonna take, and it wasn't an easy process. Kent was our loan officer and he was very nice and always prompt to return calls, but the underwriters majorly dropped the ball. There were a couple of things that I didn't understand, and I felt like we were in the eleventh hour trying to close the loan. The seller who we were buying the house from was wigging out on me 'cause we had several closing dates that we didn't close on. One of the things that was a problem was our appraisal. They had had the appraisal back for at least six weeks, and it had already been approved according to our loan officer. They came back and said, "We had to have all these extra steps done with the appraisal.” They were steps that should have been done a long time ago.

    I understand that the way we bought the home isn't necessarily conventional 'cause we leased it. But when we first started, HomeDirect told us that they'd be able to use our equity. There were days when I was hardly able to work because I was getting them all these documents. I literally got every single cancelled check we ever sent copied, which were two checks a month for six years. Then in the end, they were like, "We can't count any of these." But when we first went with them, they said they would be able to. Also, the rate was not what we wanted to have. They said our interest rate would be 4.75, but we ended up with an interest rate of 5.5 and PMI. It was really frustrating whenever we ended up paying PMI in the end. The only reason why we went ahead and closed the loan was because the seller was going so nuts on us. It was a terrible experience.

Everybody was good and there was really good communication. Firstland Mortgage owned the first mortgage on one of my properties, so I had them just refinance it in place after a loan, so I didn't have to take out a second mortgage. And Firstland used HomeDirect as the company. There was some issue when it came to the amount of time it took to fund from close time. And then there was some odd situation where there were some direct paid bills that were being directly paid from the refinance, that instead of sending the checks to the entities or direct-paying them, they sent me checks and they sent them to the wrong address. So then they just stopped the checks and sent them to the right one.

    Before, I had a past experience with HomeDirect Mortgage and it didn't work out. This time however, it did. Getting my mortgage was relatively easy and it took only a few days until we got our first estimate. Before closing, we made a bunch of changes and I had to work with their agent a few times. Even so, the response time was quick and it was really positive. Also, the rate I got was good. Though the rates ended up dropping after a few days, we had to lock-in our rate so it made sense and we got what we asked for.

    However, I felt like the process that HomeDirect Mortgage does is not very well documented in terms of what the average person can understand and explain. If people have the questions to ask, they can get answers. However, it's difficult to know what the questions to ask are because all the fees have different names. Also, I feel like the fees are moved from one category but then they're added back in a different way. Nevertheless, we feel like we got a decent service and a decent deal. I'd definitely recommend HomeDirect to friends at least for reaching out and getting an estimate.

I got a preapproval with them within two hours of talking with Dave from HomeDirect, then it was just a matter of finding a house. Once I found a house and we put an offer in, it was a little over 45 days and that was based on when the sellers could close. And if I emailed Dave or called, I got a reply and Dave was very prompt in responding. I felt very comfortable working with him.

    The terms of the mortgage was good as well and it was what the going rate was for VA loans. Dave was able to work with some leftover closing cost that I had to buy down the interest rate a little bit. So, everything worked out really well. At the time, getting the mortgage was kind of an impromptu thing as the place I was renting was being sold. So for doing stuff on short notice, HomeDirect did everything that they needed to do.

    The process of obtaining a mortgage at HomeDirect was awful. I applied for a total of four mortgages in my life. This is the first refinance, but this is the worst experience ever. When they came in and they looked up everything, I had a 785 credit score. They were fine because I never missed any payments. They said they can match it and my application went to an underwriter and they asked for a series of documents. I gave them all of those documents and those are standard. Initially, though, they did not ask for my taxes, which was interesting. Instead, they asked proof of income for two weeks, which I thought was weird.

    Still, I gave them four, which is a month. They asked for a series of normal documents as well, like proof of insurance for my home which I thought was odd. It was just weird because no one ever asks for that. I gave those document still and they were fine with them. But I had to pay the appraiser and they were gonna reimburse me. The appraiser came out, and he gave a value to the home, but he wrote the home as a rental property because he had looked it up online. However, it's not a rental property. After that, they asked for two years of taxes. I gave them those. They then said that something was wrong with their system, and they couldn’t find them. They wanted proof of home residence but that turned into a manhunt. They said that the documents I was providing couldn’t prove where I live even when I gave them utility bills that they asked for, as well as my driver's license.

    That took eight weeks in total for them to continue and then they asked why they don't put me into a different kind of loan. I told them no because I actually wrote in three letters and pretty much told them that the whole process was going weird. That I’ve never had to go down to the IRS to request my own taxes to send it to them. I sent them a stack of details - they wanted the home declaration papers on my houses, on all of them and not the one I was refinancing. So then so much time had gone by, for two months and then, they wanted everything to start all over again.

    Not only that, they started saying that they were gonna charge me for locking it in for the time. But it was their person that was taking too long, so I wrote back in, and I had the guy that was working on it removed from my loan. His manager took over the loan. Lastly, they sent an email saying they have everything they need. That we’re good. Not long after though, they were apologizing because it's taking the underwriter too long to look at the documents and that they needed me to send everything back over again. So, I sent them my information three times. Not only that, on the third time, they started asking me not to send it through the system. Instead, I should send it directly to them in emails, which was odd. Then they kept saying they weren’t getting it so I have to send it through their system again. It was crazy.

    I applied for that loan on June 8th. I was pre-approved for the loan on June 15th, and I did not close on my loan until November 18th. And at the very end, My Truth-in-Lending document did not match what I signed on the loan on that day. They were different by $8. There were originally different by over $1,000 and they had to get the $1,000 because that’s illegal to have the Truth-in-Lending document that is different. But in the end, I’ve never seen that it was different ever. Ultimately though, the rates I received turned out good. They matched them and they did beat the other company. They ended up on a range of those rates, so they worked out well.

    But still, I would tell everyone not to go with HomeDirect. That is not a good company to go to. I took off work three days to do all the documents they needed. I had to take vacation or sick or flex time. And then just looking up all of those documents, it was stressful. There's also the feeling that someone is trying to take advantage of you and if they're not very knowledgeable on the law and various VPOs, they will end up paying much more than the percentage that they were gonna give in the beginning. I only avoided it because I had written the letters and knew a little bit about the law.

    The process was very simple, smooth and it wasn't anything that was over stressful. And I had an interim answer from underwriting within a couple of weeks. Overall, it worked pretty well. There was great communication between Conner and his assistant and letting us know through every step of the phase. They were really great and very helpful. HomeDirect made life easy getting into the house. I've recommended them to my sister.

    I was looking to refinance and HomeDirect had the best rate. I even had another company tell me that it wasn't possible for them to do that. That raised my suspicion level at first and it made me a little uncomfortable, but we closed and it was perfect. I did an online mortgage, and it would have been nice to have someone to sit face-to-face with. But I knew what I was getting myself into, so it was really good for the service that I got.

    I contacted HomeDirect through Zillow and Jordan got back to me very quickly. We started speaking and he sent me what their current rates would be and the estimated rate based off of my application, and we went from there. He would stay up late when we were in the middle of doing something, and he was very responsive to everything. It took him five to 10 minutes typically to get back to me. He called me a few times when there was something that needed to be done quickly, and that was nice. He did a really good job.

    I made a new home purchase and I considered about three companies before deciding to go with HomeDirect Mortgage. They did not have the 10% that you put down at the beginning. They didn't have the application fee that all companies have, so I was saving on the closing cost. The online application process was a good experience all the way around. There were so many twists and turns during the application and we locked it in in about two weeks. The house wasn’t complete yet and it had to be a certain percentage completed before we could lock in the rate, but it was no fault of HomeDirect, it was on the builder side.

    The loan officer, Matt, that we worked with was really flexible and always available. He answered questions, so that was really helpful. I ended up with a lot of things I was not clear about and he was very good at explaining and making a clarification. I was very comfortable with him. However, I was kinda disappointed in the rate. We have really good credit and I felt the rate could be less. It was kinda confusing because of the different agencies that they go through to get our credit score. They use different agencies and different rating systems. Our credit scores were better than the system that the bank was using.

    We are in our new home and we enjoy it. We really like it. Matt helped make that process as tolerable as it could possibly be, so we are happy with it. When you are in this process, it is stressful and it helps when you have a company and a loan officer that’s available that walk you through the process. They explain the stuff to you that’s really not so clear in a way that it makes you comfortable, so I would recommend HomeDirect. The online search had a good outcome and it made me more trustful of the process.

    We put our house up for sale down in Pasco County in Land O’ Lakes to move back up here to this area. I have Realtors who live up here and when my wife went online, she came up with Mark and we got in touch with him. We talked to our original mortgage people and they projected an interest rate that we were not comfortable with. So, we talked to Mark and Sam, our loan officer, who got us a better deal. It was almost three-quarters of a point which was important to us. We got a VA loan and I was glad to have Mark and Sam working with us. These people really contributed and they did the best they could with not having the same people right there where we could see face-to-face like Freedom Mortgage, our original mortgage company. I got to know a couple of people, and everything worked out okay. We love our home here, and they pushed hard and worked hard for us.

    I have two sisters that are in real estate and have been for decades. One of my sisters was telling me that the closing that we tentatively set was not going to happen but it did. It was a lot of work for my wife to not be where I could go in and talk to these people face-to-face and she was on the computer a lot. They wanted a lot of information and they were consigned with working with us. Sam made himself available 24/7 and answered my email. He made it personal even though it was impersonal over the phone. I called him on several occasions and had a fun chat with him about Kansas City and barbecuing steak. I appreciate everybody taking the time to do everything that they’ve done and that was very important.

    HomeDirect Mortgage's rate worked for us. At some point, it became apparent to the lender and the real estate agent that they were just about gonna have to take me back to square one on this and walk me through it. Most veterans have the certificate of guarantee of home ownership and my wife and I have had a couple of houses before this, so my eligibility certificate was down to 56,000 in change. The VA has to be paid off in full before they were reestablished and I received the letters in the mail and so forth that this has all been taken care of through Freedom Mortgage and the VA. I’m not going to have a problem using them again. I would tell anybody about it and tell them to take a shot. Maybe they didn't see it the way I did, but at least give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

    After evaluating a couple of mortgage companies, I decided to go with David from HomeDirect Mortgage. I was convinced by the offer he made. It was good working with him and I was comfortable with him. The loan process was smooth. David explained to me everything that was possible. I had many inquiries, but he was very patient. Every document that was shared for the signature, he tried to explain what were the clarifications that I may have. Since this was my first time, he made sure that I understood what we were doing. Then on every document that had been signed out, he’d make sure that he sends a mail before and after. He'd also ask if I had done everything. He would even send a reminder if I delayed anything.

    I had a log-in where I can go and monitor what was happening. During the employee verification process, we had to go back and forth a couple of times. It took quite some time to get in touch, but he made sure that he facilitated talking to the right person. The rate was pretty decent. There were some mortgage lenders that provided us less, but that was based on the cost where you put down more discount points. That seems to be the usual thing that they do. The 4.6 seems to be an ideal rate comparing zero discount points and other factors. I’ve been hearing from people about their experiences with mortgage and based on that, what I experienced was far better. I highly recommend HomeDirect.

I would fill in stuff online then I'd have to give the same information back to Dan or he would ask for the exact same information I'd filled in.

    Also, further in the application or approval process, I had to provide the exact same information that I gave them. Maybe there were some people that weren’t sharing documentation and I had to fill out the same documents three or four times. It wasn’t a big hassle, though.

    I’ve gone through the loan process many times and the online application process with HomeDirect was easy. That took no time at all. But the application and underwriting process took about 40 days and they were the most difficult underwriter I’ve ever dealt with. I get that underwriters want every piece of information regarding your life that they possibly can get. But they wanted an explanation for this and that. And then we would be over 20 days and they would want an updated bank statement, which would then have more stuff in it. I own and manage rental properties. Not only that but I’m also in the army. Plus I work a job and I’m a personal trainer. So I get paid for that. I also have investments that I receive money from. So my money goes in and out of my bank account like liquid fire. The underwriter wanted to know what in the heck was going on with my bank account so I had to write letters as explanation for all kinds of madness.

    This is one of the examples. I bought a house and since my brother and I have a joint investment account and he’s the primary, he had to technically send the money to my account so that I could purchase the property. He sent me the exact amount, down to the penny, and then I sent the underwriter my final disclosure showing how much I paid down to the exact penny. The underwriter already had my county records. They had my lease agreement for the property because it’s rented. They’ve got my W2 statements showing that I’ve been claiming that property. But I had to wait an extra four days because at 4 o’clock on a Friday afternoon, they wanted signed copies of a document that I already given them. And it was holding up my closing.

    That was the reason I had to do a 45-day rate lock. I knew that with my financial situation, it was gonna be difficult. So if I had done a standard 30 days, I would’ve been screwed. And half of it wasn’t even my fault. I told Ryan that if I wasn’t on a time crunch, I would’ve dropped HomeDirect flat on their face. But Ryan was what kept me sane. He was the one who was very patient. He agreed with me that it was unreasonable but he was an excellent mediator.

    The underwriter made it hard for him too and I have no idea how many hours he worked on my loan alone. He would call me at 7 o’clock in the evening sometimes saying he sent me an email. He would ask if I could do it for him and he would get it done that day. Even for him, my case was not easy. It was difficult for me and it was difficult for him. But it was the underwriter that was the problem. I already recommended Ryan and HomeDirect to my mom who is currently in process of refinancing their home now.

I gave my business to him and I trusted his judgment. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was two steps ahead of my thought processes and answered questions before I had them. I filled out the things that he sent me and had very little contact with HomeDirect. The process took four weeks, which wasn't long. HomeDirect's rates were more competitive and I have no reason to doubt that my mortgage broker got the best rate that he could for me.

    However, I would do without the repeated calls for follow up, which is out of the ordinary for the many other home buying experiences that I've had. Also, my information might have been shared with any number of different entities and that is something I definitely don't appreciate. I know you have to agree to that to qualify for lending, but I've bought many houses and this is the most that my information has been shared. Despite those things, the experience was very good and I would recommend my home broker.

    My realtor and I are pretty close and I trust his judgment. He has used HomeDirect Mortgage before for some of his other clients. I like that my HomeDirect agent kept in contact with me. He was great. The process took a month, which seemed quick. It could have been faster though. There were a couple of things at the end that should have been done at the beginning. The processor was having trouble verifying employment and should have asked for help a little earlier than when she did. Other than that, the rest of the experience was great.

    I was buying a new home and I got a standard, traditional loan from HomeDirect Mortgage. I called in and their rep had prequalified me. He also helped me with gathering all of the documentation, which was interesting because I was in the middle of the move already and I was in another state. I was in Oklahoma and my other home is in Louisiana. Then my checking account is through a credit union in Seattle and my home equity line of credit is through a bank in New Orleans. So, the rep was not only amazing but he was a great partner with great communication. All in all, the application process took 20 minutes on the phone.

    I was buying a house and I was shopping around for a mortgage company. When you look online and call different numbers, people will give you their feedback and their interest rates. HomeDirect Mortgage was the one that stood out for me. Then when my lender was talking to me, he understood where I was coming from and he worked with me from the get-go. Mr. ** understood his process so well and he was answering pretty much all of my questions. If he didn't know the right answer to the question I asked him, he would get back to me right away.

    He also worked with me consistently. I was shopping around so I would ask him for a pre-approval and he would tell me to give him a couple of minutes then I would see one come in the mail. I would go ahead with it and whenever I didn't like the house, I would talk to him again. If there was an increment in the price, I would ask him if he thought I could get confirmed for it and he would go in, look around and send me an email right away. He kept in touch and I never had to find out from him. He would give me the information beforehand.

    The home I was getting was a foreclosure home so I went back and forth a little bit, which was understandable. Still, the foreclosure home took way less than they expected and I was impressed with how fast it all went. This was not my first house and with Mr. **, stuff was smoother than I had expected. Before, when I would go buy a house, I would talk to this person and it would be like begging. In contrast, Mr. ** made my life easier. He was the best person. The application and underwriting process was smooth. That’s why I would recommend him any day and any time. In fact, I’ve recommended him to five people and they’re working together right now. One person’s even about to close now so he’s doing something good.

    I was building a new home and turned to HomeDirect for a mortgage seeing that they were easy to work with once I inquired and got started. There was open communication and they were really on top of things. I was always able to get a hold of them and they were very accommodating, friendly and professional. The whole process was completed in two weeks and I got a rate that was very comparable to that of other companies. Everything was really great.

    HomeDirect had the lowest rates and the least lender fees, and they do not sell their mortgages to other companies. I applied for their 30-year fixed program. I just sent in all my pay stubs and all the information that their rep, Jesse, had asked for, and I got approved. I'm in California and he was in Oklahoma, and everything worked super smoothly. There were no back and forth. The process was quick and very painless.

    Jesse was more than helpful and helped me even after-hours. And with the time change, he would call me and make a point to get a hold of me. He was awesome. I was impressed with how much he knew about everything. Every question I asked, he had an answer for it. It was mindful and legitimate and it wasn't nothing that he was blowing smoke with. He was timely and quick, and everything was methodical and planned out. He was very efficient.

    I was scared of the whole house buying process, and it went awesome. HomeDirect's rates were very fair. There were some lower rates, but the lender fees were through the roof. So, for the amount of lender fees that I got and then their rate, it was a really good rate. Also, with the amount of closing cost, it was a really good loan. Working with HomeDirect made my life a whole lot better. I'm happy, I'm not renting, and I have a way nicer house now. I also have a full garage. I never had a garage before. That has definitely improved the quality of my life my girlfriend's.

    I was wanting to own a house again and I used HomeDirect Mortgage because the Realtor that I used suggested it. The application process was all online and it was pretty easy. All the digital signatures made it really easy compared to the last time when I bought a house. It took two weeks to get everything for me to sign. Also, HomeDirect's reps stayed on top of everything and let me know when I needed to sign stuff or get stuff done. They were helping me out with that.

    I bought a second home and I had to apply for a mortgage. I used to work for HomeDirect and I have some good friends over there, so I certainly trust them with my financing. Kent, my direct contact and loan officer, did a great job for me and my family. He's a great tutor and the timelines that he had put upfront came through. From A to Z, it was a very good process. They were a pleasure to work with and their rates were very competitive.
