    I wanted to buy a new house so I applied for a VA mortgage loan with HomeDirect. I was talking to somebody who knew what he was talking about so, we were good to go. I started four months ago and their process was long. They also need to spruce up their website since it's hard to navigate. But I was well taken care of and I had an amazing experience with them. I got my rep's office and cellphone number and he called me if I needed something, if he needed something or if the bank needed something. When I called his cellphone number, he answered and it didn’t matter what time I called. He always put me at ease with everything. He was even spot on with all the money and knew everything I was going to be on a contract.

    HomeDirect had a great interest rate so I applied for VA loan to buy a house. I did the paperwork and I talked to their rep who was really good. We did some credit checks and profiles. He did all his things and I gave him all my information. I also liked the way that they contacted me. They kept me in the loop about what was going on and were accessible. However, I’m a 100% disabled vet paying taxes, and it seems like they can’t get my escrow account together. I have $3,000 in my escrow account and my payment is only $2,200 a year so I’m trying to figure out why they’re still taking money out of my escrow account. I talked to a representative last September and yesterday, I called again and talked to a supervisor because I didn’t get a phone call back. He said he’s going to look into it because it shouldn’t be that way but I haven't got a call back yet. Other than that, I had a great first time experience with HomeDirect Mortgage.

    I enjoyed working with HomeDirect Mortgage, and I was able to buy a house. They had the lowest rate, and I was called by one of their representatives almost immediately after I requested for a quote. The representatives did a really good job. They were very attentive, transparent and they worked quickly through the whole process. They walked us through it and got us a pretty good offer. They laid out exactly what we would be paying every month and all the fees and everything associated with the closing. It took us three weeks to finalize all the paperwork, which was reasonable. I would recommend them, and I'd go with them again in the future.

    I was looking for a bigger house and got a VA loan. HomeDirect's mortgage rate was lower than anybody else’s and the loan officer I had was great. It was a lot easier this time around buying a house than it was in the first house that I ever bought. The process took a little longer because we lost one contract due to the VA appraisal but it's actually pretty quick. It took less than 30 days once we found a house. The rep was fantastic and I appreciated his professionalism. He called me on a weekend to make sure I got a rate locked in. I've referred HomeDirect to a couple of people that are looking for homes.

    We have a couple of houses and we did a bunch of refis with HomeDirect before. We had a great experience with them so we kept going with the same person, Tamara. We've used her as our loan officer for about five times already. Their loan process was very easy and quick. This is a new buy and a real estate agent recommended another person but I didn’t like him so after getting the terms, I went to Tamara. She had a very quick turnaround and was able to get the whole thing done in 21 days. I’ve referred her twice and thanks to HomeDirect Mortgage, I got another house. I hope they keep doing what they’re doing.

    I liked HomeDirect Mortgage's rates. The bottom line 30 year mortgage flat rate kind of attracted me, but my experience was difficult. The VA process is very detail oriented. There were a lot of things that were required that seemed kind of stupid. But it was a new regulation apparently after debacle, so I understood. I've been through a lot of transactions and Colorado is very weird. The realtors are different. Supposedly, HomeDirect manages their own loans, but the underwriter who approves the loan for the bank was very picky and they said it was because the VA is very picky.

    The rep that I had was more of a sales person. He headed me off to his underling who consolidated everything with the underwriter. He kind of ropes you in and it's not like you can walk away but then lose the deposit with the owners. You're in a tight spot all around. But it all worked out okay and I understood. At the same time the sellers were pushing back and saying why were they so slow. I also went on a vacation on the same time and couldn't be reached. So some of the fault was on me.

    But it seemed that the underwriter was asking for more and more stuff as we went along. As you sent more stuff in, they look at it and they find more questions. There is no way to push back because the VA required it. It was a tedious process. There was a lot of going back and forth toward the end trying to push things along. It was completely out of my control to speed up the lender processing so that was kind of frustrating and a little bit nerve-wracking. But they managed to come through with the approval of the seller who was motivated. But if they and these two ladies hadn't been motivated, they could have walked away with the deposit, and that's not good.

    There was another caveat at the end. Within two months of financing something and it's a pretty attractive rate, they were sending me these brochures to refinance and that's a little crazy. They're churning their own business. But I do like the fact that they service their own loans. Because they're so stringent there is the benefit that they are not going to go under which is good for me too. Home Direct is a good and an honest company. They have some workers with a little bit of interesting precepts which is based on reality. They control the process and they came through overall.

    I'm getting ready to retire so I was hoping I can set a retirement home that would be beneficial for me to move in in the future. I was looking to get better rates and I put an inquiry through NewDay USA since I've noticed they weren't always sending me stuff. But they quoted me something outrageous. Then I went through Lending Tree and a bunch of people called. Brian from HomeDirect was awesome to work with and I appreciated his work. Their process was very smooth and convenient. Brian and their other rep, DJ, were also in touch nonstop. The experience was wonderful and one of the easiest financing processes I've done. It gave me another contact in my Rolodex, too.

    I had a place in Florida that had a mortgage on and I had taken out a loan in my primary home in New York, so I decided to consolidate both into one. I went online and someone from HomeDirect Mortgage called me up. I was doing a VA loan and their rate was the best of the other two or three that I was looking at. I was also looking for a payment to make when I consolidate it, and HomeDirect got close enough to where I wanted to be so I decided to go with them, and that freed up some other money to other things. We went to the process of getting all the information. It took a little while but they got it done.

    During the loan process, they first sent me what they needed in order to start the loan and I was able to get all that information to them. They had to get it over to the underwriting and they had a few other questions which I answered. It was the rep’s job to get what they needed and we worked very well together. The person I dealt with was very knowledgeable and very responsive, and he answered some of the questions that I had at that time to my satisfaction. He got a little bit involved with the underwriting too. The process went smoothly and I was pleased. The experience was good and I would recommend HomeDirect Mortgage.

    I was buying a house and got a fixed rate loan with HomeDirect. Their rates were better than others and their website was also very good. The loan representative was pretty knowledgeable but not very responsive. Their work was slow, the process took about 30 days. Also, they don’t have very convenient options to pay the loan. I can't pay early for the loans, I can only pay on the first which is the day the loan is due. It keeps charging me random late fees because I can't set an alternate date. So, HomeDirect, in my experience, has been adequate but not great. I’d tell friends to try somewhere else.

    I would give them 7 stars out of 5! I worked with Seth ** to obtain a mortgage when I sold my townhouse and purchased my dream home - not that the house would be rated a dream home by most people, but I never thought I'd get to own a house and I love it! I needed the equity in my townhouse in order to obtain the mortgage for the my new home and the purchasers of my townhouse did not speak English and their realtor, as well as their title company were a disaster. They repeatedly gave us inaccurate information and we had closing dates set 4 times that were canceled less than 24 hours beforehand.

    Seth went above and beyond his duties and was able to figure out the problems and get them resolved even when no one else could. He even worked on my closing while on his way to his honeymoon! I'm not sure I would have this home that I am love so much and I’m so grateful for being able to live in without Seth. I bought my home last October and the servicing of my mortgage since then has been impeccable. Every question and every concern has been quickly and professionally addressed. I highly recommend them.

    We were doing a refinance so we went with HomeDirect Mortgage. We chose them over another lender because we already had another mortgage with them for another house. Also, the representative who was working with us was really good and fair. He was accessible too. If I had a question or concern, he was quick to respond. There was a lot of email coordination as well so there was never a time that I didn’t know what was going on or if there was an issue.

    The loan process was really easy. I initially found HomeDirect through Quicken Loans. Since I’m a veteran, I just got my veteran's certificate. And I ended up making sure that our credits were checked, then we started filing up a pre-approval, and finally found the house. In one of the houses we purchased, they got me a really low APR and we appreciated that. And then, when we decided to refinance another home, they were also able to give us another great rate. This had impacted my life in terms of saving money, which is good.

    Overall, I had a pleasant experience with HomeDirect. As long as they continue working the way they do, I don’t see myself going anywhere when I purchase a different property. And should a friend ask me about them, I’d definitely tell them to go that way. But, I would also have them go through my representative because I would want to ensure they have the same experience.

    We had some expenses that we needed to take care of, so we applied for a mortgage as a refinance. We contacted several lenders but HomeDirect was more helpful and their rate was the lowest that I found. We felt it was the better one to go with overall. However, in some of our correspondence, our understanding was that they would pay the appraisal fee but we found out that it wasn’t the case. So, I notified the rep and they agreed that the terminology used in the note was confusing. Long story short, we paid one fee that we felt we wouldn’t pay. Other than that, everything was smooth and went very quickly. I was able to pay off my debts. The rep was very good and everyone was courteous as well. I would recommend HomeDirect.

He answered every question I had and if something went wrong somewhere, he was always right there. Everything was done on the computer and it was very simple. I was disappointed when the date that I chose didn't get put in right. It was hard to get that fixed, and at that time, Kent was out of the picture.

    We have a 30-year mortgage and HomeDirect Mortgage had the best rates for our refinancing. Steph, the mortgage broker who dealt with us, was knowledgeable, very interactive and easy to communicate with. There was a lot of paperwork and communications back and forth. We were able to reach her and she responds to our emails and calls all the time. She was more experienced and professional than the Quicken Loans rep we dealt with. I didn't get the sense from her that she was giving us a sales job, which she was, but she was good at it so, I appreciated that.

    On the other hand, the appraisal company that they used was completely long and erroneous. I know it's independent but it almost busted our deal with HomeDirect. I tried to have HomeDirect appeal it or reject it and they couldn't do it. I felt the appraisal was completely arbitrary and it was not done with any level of expertise. I would suggest that HomeDirect Mortgage never use them again. In addition, after I started with HomeDirect and secured the loan, the first problem we had with them through their customer service was that they didn't pay our taxes and I couldn't get anybody on the phone. The refinance process was good and I'm now saving money but their customer service has been below average. Their mortgage handling of our loan currently has been below what I would have expected.

Plus I had nothing to lose so I went ahead and did a lot of searching. Kyle, my caseworker and lender, was really good. He called me first and then followed up in three days. Then we started getting a quote and compare. The more we talked, the more I trusted the lender because they worked very diligently and meticulously, and they get everything right. They asked a lot more questions and asked us to revise and remove all the small details in my original contract. They have given many mortgages with fixed structures without any appliances attached to it and I thought it was also very good. I ended up with a 15-year fixed program and we're very satisfied.

    When I inquired with LendingTree HomeDirect came up with a high approval rating and their mortgage rates were competitive for our new home. They were competent and helpful but it's unfortunate that we had to jump over the same puddle about 32 times before we got over it. The whole process was grueling because I had some credit issues that had to be refunded but I got it squared away.

    We had a nice guy, Kent, but he turned it over to his secretary and we had myriads of stuff that we had to submit to them. He didn’t seem to communicate very well since he would call requesting the same thing again which we already sent to his assistant. It was also a little complicated because we cannot get the stuff right since we don’t have a fax machine. I would send an email with a picture taken on my phone and they told me, “Well, that’s not acceptable.

    I wanted to buy a house and got a fixed loan from HomeDirect. It was first done through LendingTree, and then the mortgage rep contacted me on the phone. Home Direct had the best rates and programs, in other words, enough peace. And so, I submitted to them all of the documents. The process was all done online. It was very heavy on documentation but it's as easy applying for a mortgage could be.

    The experience was much better because there was very in-depth knowledge of the entire industry. My rep, Noah, held my hand through the process and wasn’t pushy at all. I didn’t go with the mortgage right away, I was trying to rate shop and every other company called me like a billion times basically harassing me. Noah knew that he had the best options, which I didn’t know yet at the time, but he just waited till I responded to him. And whether I went with him or not, he didn’t make it seem like it was the end of the world. It was a very easy process to work with him.

    We got a VA loan with HomeDirect Mortgage for a new home. Our score was below the 620 but they took the other two scores and worked out so that we could get the 620. They were willing to work with us. We had to do all the paperwork, submit everything that was necessary and provide the various certificates for VA. They tried to answer all our questions and they tried to be there when we needed them. It was fine except for one piece but there’s not a whole lot I can do about that portion. I was supposed to get money back at closing and I talked about it, e-mailed them several times and everybody was on the same page. When it came down to the final documentation they didn’t do it right and it was too late to try and change it at that point because I had to close on Monday so I was a little perturbed by that.

    HomeDirect Mortgage was recommended by a friend but if I had a choice again, I would not go the same route. We purchased a new home and got a traditional 30-year VA loan. All the documents were in place and it was just a matter of the funding side. It was over-the-top with some of the employment verification considering we've had to break in employment history in 15 years. This process was a lot more cumbersome than our previous home purchases and we've owned four other houses. On a positive note, my rate was very good and I was happy with the rate I got.

    There was a communication with the mortgage manager. He thought that we were closing on the original date. Everybody else was tracking to include the documentation that was forwarded to him and that we were closing four days early. Still, we ended up closing a couple of days late. I was unhappy with that. Then we found out that the mortgage can't be paid in half-payments each month which was annoying. Every other house that I've ever owned, I've been able to send in the first half of it, then the second half.

    HomeDirect's rep did what I would expect he should have done, but I definitely ended on a bad note with him as I had to pay out-of-pocket for a week in Washington because the home closing was delayed. Also, there were interface issues with their portal that they should have already adopted into their mortgage user interface for payments. And I've got my fingers crossed that my mortgage will be sold to another company that had more of those normal features. If a friend asks me, I'd tell them to go to USAA.

    However, because I had an unusual homeowner’s insurance policy, HomeDirect took a while to go over the entire policy. From what I have been told, it’s a pretty standard policy and the different thing about it was the way it’s paid. It’s one where you pay your premium upfront but it’s a lifetime premium instead of paying year after year. So, I ended up getting my closing disclosures the last minute.

I dealt with the HomeDirect reps mostly through email or text and when I spoke with them to a few times, they were all nice. We've been paying a mortgage for 11 years and never missed a payment and yet we have to provide for our first child to get this loan. We had to do a pest inspection for VA and that didn’t really go very well. That was a hiccup we had in terms of who they referred us to and although they cleared it up, it was pretty bad during that time.

    Also, I felt I was ignored when I asked if I could have my solar rolled into the loan. They said that was a possibility but as I got towards the end, it was suddenly very convenient that they only appraised my house. I told them the VA person only appraised the house for 25 more than what we were needing to pay the mortgage off. I said something about that but they didn’t seem to care much about it. When I said in the end that I wanted to roll the solar we talked about, they said it was too late and that I have to pay all kinds of fines. I don’t know if that was a communication error but that part didn’t please me. Other than those, HomeDirect is a good service.

    HomeDirect Mortgage was a referral. I bought a new house and got a 30-year fixed loan from them. However, the process was excruciatingly painful. They were able to secure a good price but the communication was exceptionally poor and they did not work on our timeline. It was my first time buying a home so all these things that kept coming at us at the last minute were seemingly things that if someone told us to prepare for or explained the process, we would not have been frustrated and upset. As someone that’s client facing, it’s their job to communicate what the process is to us above all else and it should be experienced as good as it can be. It was just falling down on its face left and right.

    We move internationally. We transfer all of our money from international bank accounts and every time something happened, it seemed as though they needed to prove the money was ours. The fact that it kept coming up as a surprise was a massive issue. Our lender missed some timeframes which caused us to have some delays. That was a bit of a shock and an annoyance to us and I couldn’t get the agent's internal team to prioritize stuff.

    It was my wife’s 30th birthday the day that we closed. We were out of town because we had already planned it and had no idea that things were going to push by a week or so and he was like, ”Well, we deal with a lot of mortgages every day so I can’t guarantee that our people are going to get to them.” I thought, well, then make them.

    I refinanced with HomeDirect Mortgage because I really liked my loan officer, Kyle, and he didn’t charge me any loan origination fees. Plus, it was an easy process with closing on time. I feel like their rates are competitive. And now that HomeDirect Mortgage keeps all their loans, I no longer have to wonder when am I going to have to change banks because I'm forced to. Also as an added bonus, I can set them on auto-pay. All those three things are really huge for me. I'm a real estate agent and I have been sending all my clients to Kyle because sometimes, even when you're buying a small little house, you have fees.

    We bought a new house and needed financing. We went to some websites and bankrate.com showed HomeDirect Mortgage as one of the two or three lowest priced. We got a VA loan and went through HomeDirect's loan process and everything got wrapped up like it was supposed to. The loan officer was 90% responsive and her response was a little slower than I would have liked a few times. Also, there's a little gap in communication as she'd send an email and not all the documents would be there or I wouldn't understand what I was supposed to do with the documents. But I understood the process and that she got other clients. And, she was very personable, thoroughly answered my questions when I talked to her, and did a good job.

    We were looking to lower our rates and we found HomeDirect Mortgage on the internet. They seemed to be prompt plus their rate was better than some of the other ones that were out there. There were only a handful of things that they needed and the communication was excellent. A lot of it was done through email but there were phone calls too. Anytime we had a question, the rep responded the day we posted it and if we didn't understand something, he explained it. He was very knowledgeable in the field. At the very end, he sent us an email with everything that we needed to set the account up online which we wouldn't have normally had prior to getting all the paperwork in the mail, and we really appreciated that. It was a very smooth process which took six weeks from start to finish. HomeDirect was good to work with and we would recommend them.

    We were buying a bigger house so we applied for a mortgage and we went with HomeDirect because of their mortgage officer, Julianne. She was so wonderful, helped us with anything we needed and worked on Sundays. We also shopped around and their rate was super competitive and one of the best. They gave us a thousand dollar seller's credit, too. We tried to buy several foreclosures and Julianne must have written us five pre-approvals. We had a VA loan and when we finally found the house we wanted, we ended up having to change our closing date because the roof was leaking. HomeDirect had to get it fixed and they were wonderful every step of the way. They were super helpful and very patient. Anything that we needed, they had it done. HomeDirect is also user-friendly and their mortgage online is easy. We'd recommend them to anybody.

    We moved from Seattle to Kentucky and we needed a new place to stay. I got a VA loan from HomeDirect Mortgage who was easy to work with. There was a lot of paperwork that we had to go through and it was explained easily throughout the entire process. My wife did most of it but all information was requested from me. It was straightforward and probably the most painless process that I've ever been through. I've only interacted with one representative and it was fantastic. Finding information such as setting up payments was fairly low maintenance.

    I’m 58 years old. If I hadn't gotten involved with HomeDirect Mortgage, I would still be renting a room from my mother which is not a place I want to be. We've owned several homes and a couple of commercial properties over the years. I know the pain of purchasing properties. I would advise my friends to contact Tim since he worked with us.

    I was trying to restructure some debt and ended up getting a veterans loan from HomeDirect Mortgage. From a strictly financial standpoint, they are the best economically for me. I dealt with Chad, who was highly professional and quite knowledgeable. He was understanding and always accessible. Accessibility was really important to me and it’s a very rare thing. It was a pretty good and positive experience dealing with him. Plus, he had a good attitude about trying to understand what I was trying to do. Occasionally, I’d get an email from one of the assistant loan officers that worked with him, but I always spoke with Chad.

    All in all, the process went relatively smoothly with the exception of a couple of requirements that seemed a little bit inane. For instance, I live in a place called Indian Land, South Carolina and there is no actual post office in Indian Land. The post office is in Fort Mill, which is right near Indian Land. So when my address is Googled, it comes up Fort Mill even though my address is technically Indian Land. We ran into a problem because my homeowners policy showed Fort Mill and HomeDirect Mortgage was not willing to close unless my homeowners actually showed Indian Land as the address and it got really convoluted.

    Also, my homeowners insisted that the loan to value situation as to what my homeowners limit should be a certain amount of money, which is understandable because they were trying to protect their interest. However, they did not take into account the fact that there was a special endorsement on the policy, which increased the value stated on the declaration page by 50%. They weren't willing to really accept that and I've been in the insurance business for 40 years, so I knew exactly what I was talking about. HomeDirect had a rather rigid requirement, but we got past that. I’m almost 80 years old, so I've refinanced the various homes I've owned many times and I’ve never had a positive experience, but I’d rate this as the best experience I’ve ever had.

We got the rep all the paperwork that day and within 48 hours we had our approval. He knew exactly what he needed from me so I was able to get him all of my paperwork on the first shot. And he was able to answer any questions that I had and was just a very upbeat and personable. The rate was also lower compared to the rate of the company we've been looking at before.

    My wife and I were looking at different options available to refinance. I reached out to an email and Seph from HomeDirect was just so informative and willing to work with us. We wanted to look at different avenues and to make sure we chose the right vehicle to meet the goal that we wanted and he gave us the different options. We thought about it over the weekend and then he said, "By Monday, I'll be sending you guys some paperwork." And then we read the paperwork over.

    I'm busy at work and my wife's at home. We did a lot through email with us never having to see him in person. He worked with my wife the night so he was basically giving us the list of document that he needed for us to prepare and then making sure I have my paystubs in line. He made sure I had tax forms out and we were able to upload and send those back to him via email attachment.

    He looked at the numbers and how long it's going to take. He gave us timeline, answered our questions and kept it straightforward with us. My wife is experienced because she's purchased before but I haven't. This is my first initial home purchase as a veteran. It made me very comfortable that she wasn't stressed at home. She was able to email me at text me and say, "Hey, Seph needs this. You send it to me and I'll upload it. You send it to our email and I'll loop Seph then." The channels used to get this process and the paperwork can sometimes be very strenuous. I'm a guy that doesn't like a lot of bureaucracy. I'd rather you just get through it, meet the need, get the end result and everybody's happy. And in my opinion the process with HomeDirect went as smooth as a car purchase. I love that.

    Seph is phenomenal. I like his timeliness and the fact that he will get back to you. He doesn't pull you late about that. If he misses a call, you'll later hear from him. And one of the things I like too was that he would contact me in the evening when I'm home from work. I'm going to get an email from Seph at seven or eight o'clock at night. I've had a set of questions probably after hours and Seph would email me back at me by 11 o'clock. It's a very personable relationship. He didn't come off as a “greedy, hungry, get the deal done, let me get this commission, let me look good before this people and boom." But he came across as “concerned, I want to work with you and let's see how we can make this happen.” And I don't have no problem recommending him to someone else.

    I have set my mortgage set up to bill pay, where I get my statements from them. Right now I'm in the process of getting a lading from the VA because of the injury sustained in the military. I was informed that once I received that letter that my origination fee would come off the mortgage and I'm hoping that remains as such because I sustained horrible injuries and I'm still on a treatment now. Seph did advise us about that and that was another thing that we took to heart. I just hope they keep up the good work and if they have that kind of relationship I like to see them offer more products.

    We went with a 30-year refinancing program with HomeDirect Mortgage to get a lower rate. They had the best deal and were the easiest to work with. My loan officer was good that's why I trusted him. However, I'm a little pissed about the experience. I had to pay around $600 to pay for a point down. One of the things that happened was, we had talked numbers beforehand what I thought the house was worth and what we owed. I had told him and he rounded them a little bit. And he eventually used that against me. I told him he did not tell me what the costs were going to be. He said, "I thought you said this is what your house is worth." I told him, "No, you rounded up the numbers."

    But there were some things that they were not going to know until we get that far in the loan process. So he didn't want to scare me away by saying, "You might need to pay a point down" when I have another 50 people calling me to refinance. I get it. But at the same time, that was a little sneaky. It was really a crappy move. Other than that, the experience wasn't bad. I would use them again and I would recommend them because the market is so competitive for refinancing.

    We were moving states so we looked into getting a mortgage for a new home purchase, and we got a conventional FHA loan from HomeDirect Mortgage. Initially, even before I had found a property to buy, I contacted their 800 number and got in touch with a loan officer, and it was the same loan officer that helped me through the entire process. He was personable and always talked with me if I had any questions. He told me what to expect and what documents were going to be required. As expected, we had to fax things back and forth. We gave him our situation, so there were some circumstances that needed to be taken care of with that, and then we were going to be carrying two mortgages for a short period of time. One of the things we told him upfront was that we were going to be switching jobs as well as switching locations.

    After I found the property that we wanted to buy, I called them back and they started the process. But there were some mundane things that had to be completed ahead of other things, so the loan process got dragged out because a piece of paper had to be there before we could move on. What disappointed me was that towards the end of the process, a few days before the closing, we got surprised when they told us to make three months of mortgage payments available since we were changing jobs. That shocked me since I felt that I should have known that way ahead of time, but we were able to do it eventually. We got squared away and everything worked out, and we were able to close. Despite that, we were happy overall with the loan process and with HomeDirect.

    At the time, I kept seeing advertisements about offers of better interest rates on a mortgage over a certain amount, so I talked with HomeDirect Mortgage and we did a refi with them. There wasn't all that much of a difference in the interest rate but the refi was at the right time. The other attraction with the loan was that they would not sell it, because every time you do a refi, the lender always sells the loan.

There wasn't very much to do because we did a VA loan and a refi, and we didn't have to go through the lengthy process of all the documentation.

The reps asked some very direct questions and I had to provide some very direct answers several times, but it was nothing that precluded me from applying for the loan. It was a level of detail for compliance issues so they made the request. They told me what they needed, I got it, furnished it, and then proceeded. It was a nightmare and it took a little longer than expected because of the hold-up on the tax documents. It was a happenstance and wasn’t anybody’s fault. I would refer my friends directly to Noah.

I've owned a few other homes and dealt with a lot of other lenders so there was some continuous comparison going on during the actual transaction. But we made up our minds ahead of time that we're going to go through HomeDirect with Brian.

    We needed to close on our home in San Diego before we could buy up here. Brian was engaged with us every step of the way. At any time we had a place that we were interested in, he was on the spot with calculations and information that we needed pre approval. and there were a couple of iterations of that. When we finally have an offer that was accepted, the closing process was incredibly smooth and it was the fastest one of all the home closings we've done. We had kind of a lengthy process but it went very well. It was absolutely fantastic and phenomenal. Overall, it was a very low-stress transaction for us. And it was a positive impact compared to some of the other home financing events that we have had. Everything we needed to do was laid out very plainly and it enabled us to live with the family up here in Minnesota. If everybody at HomeDirect Mortgage is of Brian’s caliber, then you have a top-rated organization.

    I used Zillow, shopped around for mortgage companies, and HomeDirect was the cheapest so I went with them. I got a VA loan for a new house and my lender, Brandon, was very knowledgeable of the little questions that I had on HOAs and the VA, and on a new home purchase or a new construction purchase. He always answered my calls every time and wasn't pushy. I got a hold of them in January and I closed in June. I put in around close to 10 bids on the house and Brandon was working with me the whole time. He was cool and hopefully, I get to work with him again soon or in the future if I get a chance.

    Working with HomeDirect has been very awesome. The other lenders were surprised that they couldn't even match or compete with HomeDirect. I was kind of skeptical myself. The price arrangement was a lot but Brandon assured me and walked me through the process. This is my second home and working with Brandon, the process has been more pleasant. I also referred two of my colleagues at work to HomeDirect.

    I needed a conventional loan in buying a house and a friend referred me to HomeDirect Mortgage. I talked to Mitchell, the loan officer, several times on the phone and he gave me updates on the process. I worked with him on rates and rate lock-ins. It was straightforward. Since it was all remote it was basically emails back and forth and secure online document signing. I had to provide them with all the information they required which was financial information, driver's license, and statements. It was a smooth process.

    They made sure they had the documents before closing time. They actually made a tweak to the documents that I requested two weeks before closing and they were still able to make those changes and get it to the closing attorneys. It was very good. They saved me close to $2,000 or $3,000 in closing cost so it was a direct financial impact that was significant to me. They allowed me to float my rate down one time within 45 days of closing so I was able to get a lower rate by the time it was all said and done. I am very satisfied with them. Definitely use them because they're very efficient, flexible, friendly, and helpful. Look into it and get them if you can.

    I got an email and HomeDirect was represented as essentially a part of the same outfit that I already have a mortgage with. The reps were always polite and good. We discussed that there would be savings so it caught my attention and it was a good time for me to do it. But the estimated closing cost I was given when we were talking during the process ended up being substantially larger in the end. I was sitting in closing, signing docs and all of a sudden, the amount is much bigger and it was a little aggravating. I realized they're ballparked but it was off by at least a couple of grand.

    It still makes sense over time for me to do it but I was frustrated with that. I should have done more research instead of just taking that first email. It might have been worth doing some more phone calls and due diligence on my part. One should pin down as much as they can. They should make sure they understand and they're prepared to walk away from the table if the costs are greater than what they were led to believe.

When you deal with mortgages I think it's a frustrating experience, especially when gathering documents but the individual I spoke to, Joshua, made a complicated process seem easy especially for us from New York who are not exactly the most patient people. The whole process was like you're not going to a bank but you're talking to a family member -- very friendly.

    I was anxious whether documents made it there on time, whether everything will be done on time since I had other issues that are involved within the process but Joshua said not to worry, "We’ll take care of it.” And everything was taken care of on time. No issues arose during the process and it was done within three weeks which was amazing because it takes a long time. Everything was done good. A lot of people were amazed when I told them I was on it and I recommended them to other relatives. I actually told a lot of people about them.

I felt much more comfortable with HomeDirect’s rep based on how she interacted with me, so I went with them.

    I used HomeDirect for a new home loan. There were a lot of steps with the loan process wherein I had to go through underwriting and produce all those extra information and documents. A lot of the stuff could have been easier. I was home from work, on surgery, and if I wasn't, it would've been near impossible to get all the paperwork and the information that needed to be done, done in time. All these were a tad bit trying, but it wasn't that bad. Their representative, Tim who I had worked with via email and phone, helped me helped me get a mortgage when I was in a situation where I couldn’t get one. Before this, I was renting but the closing was tight, so I had to increase my percentage to get more out of the payable. Overall, I got a house through HomeDirect Mortgage and I didn’t have a problem with them.

    I was buying a house and I found HomeDirect Mortgage on the Zilla Mortgage app. They had great ratings and the lowest interest. I got a 30-year loan program and I had to fill out all the paperwork, get all of my documentation in order and work with my lender. Brandon helped me every step of the way through emails and phone calls. He was very knowledgeable and experienced in his job. He was spot on and everything was very quick. It took 30 some days which was high ‘cause of the VA loan, but it was perfect. It was one of the most painless loan processes that I ever had.

    There was constant coordination and he didn’t lie about anything throughout the project which was really what started the whole conversation from the day I called them. I told him to let me know if they couldn't do something and there was honesty all the way through. There were no unforeseen circumstances that came out of it. Plus, he was a hard worker. One weekend, he called me to ask if I could get a certain packet in at the end of the day to help the process and I was shocked that he was still in the office. I emailed him about anything plus I called him at any day and at any point, and he was very responsive. It was an easy experience overall. I’ve now moved into my new house and everything’s good. I’ve also told my friends that HomeDirect is the best company I’ve ever worked with.

    I was getting a VA for a new house purchase and I was one signature away from getting a loan from another company. But I talked to Noah about getting a quote from HomeDirect Mortgage and he was able to get me a great rate. I switched over and all the stuff transferred over as well, so all the legwork was actually done by one of their competitors and the process was pretty quick. HomeDirect did a great job at making sure that they interacted with the company that I was going with. I got all the information that they needed and made sure that it was all done fairly seamlessly.

    I liked Noah. He was professional and not pushy which was nice. He was available and he got back to me pretty quickly. Now, I have a house but one thing I wish that HomeDirect would do differently is to charge interest per day if I pay bi-monthly. Otherwise, my first payment will sit in the bank until the other payment comes in and then I don’t get the interest credit for making that payment early. That’s the policy that HomeDirect does but I wish that would be changed because that would be something that I would like to be able to take advantage of. But all in all, they were professional, timely and efficient.

    Also, I feel like my information might have been distributed to other companies. I’ve been getting a lot of spam, both paper and email, as far as refinancing my loan. Before getting a mortgage up to now, I have gotten a lot of information from other companies and they used the HomeDirect Mortgage name in their papers. I don’t know how and at what point these companies got the information and it’s not often but I do understand that selling information is run-of-the-mill.

    I have a house now and I definitely appreciated the hard work and the lower rate that I was able to get. I would recommend HomeDirect Mortgage or at least encourage others to take a look at them and see what they have to offer. I’ve also already given Noah’s contact information out to at least one person that I know who is in the market.

    When HomeDirect's Dave met us, he was honest and knew how to talk in my language. I've been dealing with Dave since I bought the house in 2010 and I trust him. The initial mortgage was through him and I refinanced twice. Every time, he made it easy, told me exactly what I needed to do and gave me specific examples. I have a weird schedule and he was patient with me. He called me up and said it would be a good time to refinance, so I did. He tried sending me something, but it takes too long to try to get me to sign up and get a freaking password and I don't have time for that.

My experiences during the loan process have all been good. Julianne, their rep, was efficient, nice, and was on top of everything. She was in contact with me daily, sometimes every couple of times a day every time something came up or she needed more information or something that I could provide her. Later on in the process, she got an assistant who was just as efficient and just as nice and kept us in the loop. They also connected us to Chicago Title and we went from there. By the time we got to closing, it was less than 45 minutes. I was impressed with the way Julianne works. It was the easiest mortgage I've ever gotten in my life and we also got a great interest rate on our house.

    If we ever wanted to refinance, I'd go back to HomeDirect. I've also already recommended them to three of my associates. My only complaint is with their customer care net.

    I researched for loans online when I was in the market for a new home and found that HomeDirect Mortgage had good reviews. I was under the impression that it was going to be a smoother process so I went with them as opposed to a local bank. The loan process started off positively but then we had a lot of bumps as we went along. It lasted for 10 months which was longer than I expected, and a lot longer than a traditional bank.

    We were told that we were able to take out a VA loan and then we were moving in the right direction. I had paid for the home inspection and I thought everything was fine. And then at the last minute, before closing occurred, they came and told us we could no longer take out a VA loan because we ran into some stipulations. It was unsettling that the loan officer didn't inform me about those. They felt bad so they'll pay for the inspection for a conventional loan. But that didn't pacify the situation because it just prolonged the process by another two months.

We noticed the rates were starting to go up a little bit so we thought we can refinance and take advantage of it before they went up further. We applied with the Lending Tree and HomeDirect Mortgage was the only one who seemed to have any knowledge of the VA loan. Everybody who had an offer didn’t have any understanding about VA loan. We had to get the house bug inspected even though my wife got it five years earlier and even though we had the house treated for termites, it wasn’t good enough for the VA so we had to have another inspection. They also found one piece of dry and rotten piece of wood needed to be replaced but other than that, the home loan process was simple.

Working with them lowered our payments which really helped out a lot. We were paying $5000 a month for principal and interest, plus insurance plus homeowners' and flood insurance.

I've shared with most people in the organization that I had a bit of a challenge because there was an overlap of requests and duplication of information I've sent between the sales contact person and the underwriter. That was disjointed and added extra time. But after I brought it up to their attention, the issue has been resolved. The representative that I worked with was one of the managers.

    I needed to buy a house so I got a VA loan from HomeDirect. I have worked with them before and they did a really good job, so I went back. The loan agent was recommended by a bunch of friends and they said she could get me a substantially lower rate on a VA refi with my house in Texas. The experience was so great when I needed to buy my next house in Delaware, she was the first person I called. I called someone else too, but they couldn't get the lock for long at the rate that she could. And they didn't have the lender credits.

    I have a unique situation, and then I had just switched jobs from the air force to Southwest Airlines. A lot of home loan agencies won't really do anything, 'cause you don't have an established income, but I was able to get a letter from Southwest Airlines and used that letter to say, "Here's how much we're gonna pay and here's our contract, here's this minimum." And she was able to use that as proof of income. So that’s pretty impressive. There's not a lot of places that can do that.

    The loan process was good. I had fairly consistent contact with my loan officer and she was responsive at the documents that she requested. If it wasn't exactly right, she was able to work with me on that. Rate’s also lower than I could find anywhere else. She couldn’t have done much better than she did. It was really seamless. Intentionally, I had a long timeline for the process at about 60 days, start to finish.

    Working with them has been successful. The closing was complicated as well, because I was in training for Southwest Airlines in Dallas. And specifically finding a day to be right where we needed to do a remote, which we ended up doing on the notary versus a power of attorney for my wife. We had all those options on the table and we're able to set all that up. We got all the paperwork together then handed them over to the lawyer, Lunger & Associates or the people and made sure all is ready for that particular day, et cetera. Ultimately, I found a couple of days where I could get away from training and do the closing in San Antonio for the house here in Delaware.

    It was an easy loan to do with a lot of moving parts and we were able to make it happen. They were on the spot with what I needed, thorough and professional. I just really enjoyed to working with them. I'd definitely want to tell friends what happened and tell them to use it. I would also give them the name of the person who I worked with.

    I was looking for a refi, to a better long-term and predictable payments. HomeDirect Mortgage had the best rates and I can resell my mortgage so the overall cost and headaches are easier to deal with than other companies. Brandon did a wonderful job. He walked me through every step of the way and took my phone calls quickly and directly. He was very proactive and it was a very smooth and easy process. I’m not a mortgage lender or broker and there’s questions that I have as a consumer and things I don’t understand. People would take time to explain them. Their representatives were also all very professional and courteous with their quick response to phone calls and emails. I had no frustration and no long wait times. Of all the mortgages that I’ve had, the one with HomeDirect is the best experience I’ve had.

    It was a VA loan so I had to get a home appraisal and a termite cleanup but not much work beyond that. Then they sent me an email that the loan’s approved. I went online, created an account and set up automatic payments. Now I don’t have to think about it and it's been very easy. I would tell others to give HomeDirect a call if they’re looking in the market for a refi. I also referred my father-in-law who was looking to refi a house in Texas and they’re in the process of doing that now.

    We were purchasing a second home and didn’t have the time to shop around for lenders. HomeDirect was a reference by a family member and they're giving a good interest rate. I refinanced the house I have with them then got a second loan. The loan process was a lot of work and there were so many paperwork and things they asked for, but that’s procedure. The reps were excellent and they kept me from throwing the towel. They have patience in me calling them for any little detail and they were able to help me with doing all the requirements.

    My financial advisor put me in touch with a loan officer from HomeDirect named Dave. He was excellent and did an outstanding job throughout the loan application. The best part was, he’s always available. I’ve worked some crazy hours and I’d let him know from the beginning that most of our correspondence would be later in the evening between six and nine or six and ten at night, and he answered the calls and and I can talk to him directly anytime I needed him. That's what I've really appreciated.

    He also got me answers to any of my questions very rapidly. At one point there was an assistant working with Dave and I had to go back a day since it was more than 24 hours that I wasn’t getting answers. The assistant was going through some personal issues but everything went fine when Dave took over. I closed the VA loan, made my first payment and I will be making my second payment this month. HomeDirect has the best program when it comes to paying points and PMI. Their rates were also the best since being a veteran, I always go for the lowest interest rate.

    He checked up with me and also made sure all the paperwork was done on time and did a good job facilitating everything even though he wasn’t going to be there at the closing and going through the attorney in South Carolina. We also like that they don’t sell their loans to other people, so I can deal with HomeDirect and it had a positive effect.

    I changed jobs, moved to Chicago and needed to buy a new house. So I got a VA mortgage with HomeDirect and it worked really well. Over others, their services and the lower fees were what I liked. But the lack of expertise at HomeDirect dealing with VA mortgages was problematic. There were tasks that are normally accomplished by the lender that I actually had to do myself, managing and taking care of that stuff with the VA. Getting the property certified for a VA loan is normally handled by the lender. I was told that it would take several months for them to complete it. Whereas, knowing absolutely nothing at the beginning, it took me less than two weeks. So, if a lender is going to say that they service VA mortgages, they should have the expertise to actually follow up on that. Everything else was spot on. They’ve also been very attentive and it’s a good thing.

    Derek, my loan application processor, communicated well in the beginning but after the application process started, it was clear that he wasn’t as available and didn’t communicate as well as I would have liked. I don’t think that’s because he wasn’t doing his job but when you’re on the buying end, even if there’s no status update or change, it would have been nice to hear communication on a more regular basis. There were several periods of time where a week or two would go by and we wouldn’t hear anything. That was frustrating on our end. There’s a lot of information that we did not understand but the questions that he did answer, he was very helpful in letting us understand.

    We did a lease to purchase contract. On the day that we were told as our closing day, we found out that there was a loophole that we couldn’t close because, in our type of contract, we are required to reside in the home for six months before we can buy it. I don’t think Derek knew this. This was new information to him too, I understand, but this information should have been shown in the beginning. We were given three or four different quotes because they kept getting extended. We had to deal with the seller and our insurance and tell them that we can’t close that day and that we would have to wait some more.

    The one part that didn’t go well that could have gone better is when we were finally given our close date which was really close to the date when they provided us with all the disclosures about the amount. They did that three days before the actual close date. I had explained to him the whole time that the sale price in the contract was negotiated based on our loan information. I and the seller were negotiating back and forth as far as how much we were going to pay for the house and how much he was going to pay towards closing cost. We’re trying to arrange it to where we got a certain amount towards closing cost. During those three days, we didn’t hear from anyone and we wanted to be able to have the opportunity to alter those amounts but we didn’t get any communication.

    We actually paid more for the house and ended up losing money. The seller’s not going to give it back to us now so, we got screwed on that. If the lender was able to provide the numbers before the disclaimers, we would have changed the contract. I would have asked for less closing cost and would have dropped the price of the house by $1,800. The whole experience wasn’t bad, there was a lack of communication, but they could have done better. I was lost in the dark which I think wasn't their fault. It’s not their job to explain everything to us. We didn’t have a realtor and maybe that’s what a realtor’s role is. Direct Mortgage was able to get our loan approved that my credit unit could not so, overall, they get a good rating from me.

    I wanted to refinance and see if there were lower rates than getting rid of one particular credit obligation. I went to different lenders and that prompted lots of phone calls and emails and I had to sift through a couple. Bank of Oklahoma did a nice job and I like to continue discussing with them. The biggest point for me for having HomeDirect was that if Bank of Oklahoma supposedly keeps the mortgage it doesn’t get resold and passed around with different service providers.

    I had submitted all the package information to two lenders at the same time. Federal Savings which is under post investigation right now did not do anything. But Erica from HomeDirect was able to answer questions. We went through the process and she was very helpful. The HomeDirect website allows them to do internet loan processing as opposed to the bank itself, which is in Oklahoma. Erica was able to clarify the distinctions of the Bank of Oklahoma but I was too slow to pick up on all these little nuances.

    And by not being prepared to absolutely execute whatever the initial offer was and not doing enough research for knowing what the Bank of Oklahoma is all about with HomeDirect cost me $2,000. By the time I got the second email back prices have gone up $2,000. But working with HomeDirect Mortgage decreased my monthly mortgage payment by $150 a month. In retrospect, I should have taken the maximum mortgage value but I’m very satisfied they have a very competitive rate. My closing agent verified that that's an excellent rate. You're just not going to get any better. And to that extent I have a high level of satisfaction with that refinancing process and I would certainly give them a strong endorsement. Also the time to process the mortgage was as represented.

The first person I dealt with was great, very helpful and available. I asked complicated questions sometimes and she would either know the answer or do the research to get back to me very quickly. Then I switched to a second person who got stuck being a messenger between me and their underwriting department. They seemed to be focusing on things that didn't matter and really made things difficult for me. For instance, they needed the inspection invoice dated and signed with the breakdown of cost. But the inspector didn't charge an itemized thing, so I had to get a second inspection. Some of the delays were also due to the fact that the sellers needed a later closing date.

    The home purchasing process was easier than expected but I'm still trying to figure out the direct payment option. I’ve signed up for it at the closing, and when I called to verify they said that it wasn't set up and I needed to pay the first month. Then I got a letter saying it was set up.
