Our editors’ take on Homefinity

Homefinity is a good choice if you want a conventional home loan or refinance at competitive rates. Most of the reviewers on ConsumerAffairs used Homefinity for one of those transactions and over 90% gave the lender a four- to five-star rating. We recommend Homefinity for saving on closing costs and fees.

However, Homefinity may not be the best choice for borrowers who prioritize efficiency in the mortgage process, since several reviewers mentioned mistakes or having to re-upload documents. While Homefinity offers a digital mortgage platform, the application process may take longer than some other online-only lenders. Additionally, this is not the right lender for buyers looking for a USDA or jumbo loan.

How we rated Homefinity

We rated Homefinity excellent for its costs and fees. Not only is the company upfront with updated published fees, but several reviewers were happy with how much Homefinity’s fees cost.

We thought that Homefinity could improve its application process so it is as streamlined as some of its competitors. While the lender does not have many complaints, the main issue was with the application system.

Rates: Good

Homefinity is transparent about its rates, publishing interest rates and annual percentage rates (APRs) for 15-, 20- and 30-year fixed-rate loans on its website. You can get a customized rate quote by entering your ZIP code, credit score range, purchase price and down payment. However, this quote won’t be as accurate as obtaining preapproval. The customized rate quotes don’t consider your debt-to-income ratio, which is an important factor lenders use to determine your interest rate.

Many reviewers found that Homefinity’s rates were better than other lenders when they did a comparison shop. Several customers also described Homefinity’s rates as “competitive.”

One Indiana reviewer said, “I was happy with the rate, and the terms were wonderful. They were able to offer me some things that other lenders were not able to offer me.”

While many reviewers praised the lender for its low and competitive rates, we only rated the company as good since the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data showed that Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp. had slightly higher than average home purchase rates between 2019 and 2021. (Fairway also does business as Homefinity.)

Homefinity offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). An ARM could make sense if you anticipate refinancing your loan or selling your property before the interest rate adjusts for the first time.

Application process: Good

You can start the application process with Homefinity by requesting a rate quote online. The company will ask for some preliminary information, like the type of property you want to buy and your decision-making timeline. After you answer a few short questions, you'll input your name and email address for the company to send you a quote.

You’ll receive the quote by email and a link to start your application. A loan officer will also contact you by phone or email to see if you need assistance. It may be a good idea to chat with the loan officer before you complete the application; they can offer recommendations for loan options based on your situation.

Be prepared to give your loan officer information about your assets, debt and income. It may be helpful to have ready recent pay stubs, bank statements, previous years’ tax returns and retirement account statements. You’ll be asked to upload these documents to the loan portal to complete an application.

After you’ve submitted your application, you could receive a preapproval decision in one hour or less. Your loan officer will help you through the entire closing process. Once your loan has closed, it’s possible that it may be sold to another lender for servicing. However, keep in mind that your loan terms won’t change with a new servicer.

Our reviewers had mixed feelings about the application process. Some described it as “easy” and “simple,” while others felt it took longer than they expected.

One Indiana customer used Homefinity for refinancing and said, “The application process was a pain as I had to upload this and that and prove this and that. Sometimes, I had to re-upload documents. Some of the documents I had to sign made me concerned. Some of the questions they asked were strange and made me feel they didn't trust me.”

Another reviewer in Indiana had a different experience, saying, “The application was smooth, the portal was easy to use and Homefinity was very clear about the lock period and how much it would cost for different lengths of time..”

Homefinity application features

Loan types: Good

Homefinity offers conventional loans (fixed-rate or adjustable-rate), FHA loans and VA loans. Conventional loans come in 15- and 30-year terms. You can also refinance with Homefinity, whether you want to get cash from your equity or lower your monthly payment.

Most of our reviewers used Homefinity for conventional loans or refinance loans. We rated loan types as good since buyers looking for a USDA loan or jumbo loan will have to shop elsewhere.

In 2021, Fairway received 188,143 home purchase loan applications. About 75% turned into closed loans. About 6% were denied.

Refinancing

In 2021, Homefinity originated more home purchase loans than refinance loans. About 64% of loans originated by Homefinity in 2021 were for home purchases, while about 36% were a combination of rate-and-term refinance loans and cash-out refinances.

In 2020 and 2021, many borrowers refinanced their existing mortgages in order to take advantage of low interest rates. Refinancing to lock in a lower rate can lower your mortgage payment and reduce the total amount of interest you’ll pay on the loan.

Requirements: Good

Homefinity does not list its minimum credit score requirements. However, the industry standard is 620 for a conventional loan, 500 for an FHA loan and 580 for a VA loan. Credit score is just one factor lenders use to determine what loans you qualify for, what interest rate you pay and how much you can borrow.

The company does list its minimum down payment requirements. You’ll need to offer 3% down to qualify for a conventional loan, but its FHA loans have slightly higher standards than industry norms. You can offer a 3.5% down payment if your credit score is 620 or above (industry standard is 3.5% with at least a 580 score). VA loans have no down payment requirements.

A reviewer from Oregon found Homefinity easy and quick to work with despite the “couple of hoops to jump through” since they own their own business.

Homefinity mortgage requirements by type

Cost and fees: Excellent

Homefinity shows estimated fees with the daily mortgage rates, and you can input your information for a personalized quote. Most reviewers were happy with the fees they paid for a new home purchase or refinance.

“Homefinity was very upfront with everything. With the dollars, the charges, and the fees, they were able to put it in writing,” said a reviewer from Florida.

Another reviewer said, “The fees that were charged were reasonable or lower than most others.”

Most lenders charge a flat fee of 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount in origination fees (which includes the processing and underwriting of your application).The origination fee is just part of the overall closing costs you’ll pay to purchase your home. Closing costs can include appraisal fees, attorney fees, credit reporting fees, discount points, escrow funds, mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, title insurance, prepaid interest, title fees and recording fees. Altogether, this can add up to 2% to 5% of the loan amount.

To help you plan for your closing, lenders will provide you with a Loan Estimate within three business days of your application. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate. You’ll receive a more accurate Closing Disclosure form at least three days before your scheduled closing, which will state all the costs and fees associated with the loan.

      The mortgage lender I was with didn't seem like they wanted to negotiate the best deal. They were just trying to make as much money off of me as possible and the interest rates started climbing. I could have gotten a much lower interest rate if I had gone through Homefinity at first. I did their program for refinancing. The application process was a pain as I had to upload this and that and prove this and that. Sometimes, I had to re-upload documents. Some of the documents I had to sign made me concerned. Some of the questions they asked were strange and made me feel they didn't trust me. They leave a lot of things hanging open and you don't know what you're signing unless you're a lawyer. Even when you close, you don’t really have time to go through every document. It would take hours.

      There were a couple of open-ended documents that were really long form documents. The closer said, “Sign here.” They explained quickly what it was about but you don't really have a chance to read anything about what you're signing. I was joking with the closer, saying, “You’re gonna fill this in and put anything you want in there.” I just laughed but I was serious. I’ve been through this process before when I bought my first home and some of the forms have changed because that was 20 years ago.

      I'm not blaming the company. I’m blaming the mortgage process. All these companies have to do that because it’s part of the government's requirement. I just don’t like the invasiveness and the open-ended questions. You got to sign this, sign that, and you don’t really understand everything about it. They then say, “If you violate any of this information, if it’s not true, we can come back on you.”

      Also, a lot of different people were involved during the process. A new person kept popping up. That was awkward and strange because I thought I sent everything to the loan officer. That aside, my loan officer was a nice young guy named Greg. He was smiling. He helped me switch over from the other mortgage lender. The rates I got from Momefinity were fair because Greg tried to work with me. He was explaining how all mortgage loan officers manipulate numbers. They work their numbers so that they can make sure they get their profit. It depends on how greedy they get or how much profit the company they work for requires. The first mortgage company was very inflexible. Greg explained what was going on there. He said, “We have to make a certain amount of money too. But we're not gonna rip you off. We're kind of upfront.”

      I like that about him and that was why I stuck with him because he tried to help me negotiate a fair deal for both of us so that we both could be happy with it. I really appreciated that. That’s what really impressed me about him. I could usually call anytime too. Some of the other people I dealt with at Homefinity were very nice as well.

      Homefinity was very upfront with everything. With the dollars, the charges, and the fees, they were able to put it in writing. I developed trust with them because they stuck to their word. They were an honest company. Communication was clear and customer service was very responsive and timely. They were amazing. The process was very easy and I did everything online. The initial broker, John, that I spoke with was very easy to speak with. He answered all my questions in a language that I understood and not in their company jargon.

      It was really a great experience. I've closed on homes before in Florida and it has not been so easy. My rate was great. I was totally satisfied with everything. I told one of the brokers that I was a little nervous because I was going through a lot. She said, “If I could, I would send you a hug through the phone.” That was just so comforting. That's what I like to deal with. They exceeded my expectations.

      I signed up with my bank here locally. But on one Sunday evening, I was just online searching and looking at rates. I went into Bankrate.com and they gave me the top 3, 4, 5 lenders. The next thing I hear is from Steve and within a couple of talks, he made me buy into Homefinity. I had to have a learning curve a little bit as to who they are. But after that, it was prompt and excellent communication. It was quick and professional. Those things turned me off from the bank and came with Homefinity. The process was perfect.

      I'm coming for the mortgage loan. The appraisal and underwriting process was new to me. I thought that Homefinity is a lender. But Homefinity is only an agent and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation is the lender. I paid the fee to the appraiser. Immediately, it was returned back to me. At 15 years and 30 years rate, I had to rethink myself. There was in consultation with my agent. I went from 15 to 30. Again, back from 30 to 15. I paid the 20% down payment. I was ready to go with the 30, with all the terms and conditions. But then the little changes happened. If I was informed ahead of time of all aspects, I would have clearly chosen one and not flipped back and forth. I had to redo all the process again. That aside, I will definitely recommend Homefinity.

      The whole process went well. The whole team was great. We worked with Angela. The application was smooth, the portal was easy to use and Homefinity was very clear about the lock period and how much it would cost for different lengths of time, and if it somehow overshot the lock period, what the fees would be. So, they gave us a good picture of what we might deal with. Most of the stuff, they were able to do in the background. And they kept us up to date. They had everything squared away before we even got the close date. They were, “Well, we're just waiting on the builder to tell us when we can send the inspector, and then we'll be all set to go.”

      I got a response right away from a loan officer, then Homefinity had multiple people contact me throughout the process. Everything went pretty well. We had to have an appraisal done, and we had two weeks to prepare for that. Once the appraisal was done, the process was within days. The paperwork was in the works to be signed and the new rate and terms were very competitive. The rates have gone up a little this spring, so I expected it to be a little higher than what we had dealt with in the past, but there wasn't anything unusual about it. It was just the straight rate based on our credit. Overall, I've had four refinance experiences in the past and this was the best one, the smoothest, and the most transparent. They were very open about everything that was going on.

      We liked Homefinity's rate and the rep that we spoke to. My experience was fast, easy, and straightforward. The only thing that I didn't really like was that I had asked the rep if the title was gonna stay the same. I had told her that I want it to stay the same, and it didn’t. She just said that that's not her department. She sent me an email saying that everything should be the same. There shouldn't be any issues. She's gonna let them know. Then when I told her, “Well, it’s not the same,” she was like, “Oh, you’d still get that fixed with somebody.”

      Other than that, they were pretty quick on sending us and getting us everything. I sent my rep text messages or email and then I even called her. And sometimes, she wouldn’t answer. She was just saying she was with somebody else, and then she'll get back to me as soon as she could. She would have the majority of the answers. If not, then the other person would answer my question. Homefinity is on top of everything.

      I'm 81 and I was astonished that I was accepted by Homefinity. To take a 30-year mortgage is optimistic, to say the least. All three of the reps I interacted with couldn't have been better. At my age, I'm very anxious about everything so, I bothered Don constantly and he was always gracious. He answered all my questions as the process moved along. It was complicated for someone of my age because I had to produce 21 PDFs of documentation and they walked me through that process when I had problems with it. A lot of people become quickly annoyed with the elderly and they express that in their tone and in their attitudes but they never did.

      Also, Don sent me a couple of emails when the process was all finished just to say that he hoped that everything had gone well and that if I had any questions in the future, I was welcome to contact him. He's a great guy and Homefinity has been an absolute blessing to me. My budget now is easy to calculate and I have so much more cash available to me.

      Becky, Sarah & Team were truly amazing in helping us secure loan for our second home. Right from the point of when I obtained quotes, Becky continued to communicate with me (even on weekends!) especially given recent volatility in credit markets. Thanks to her, we managed to lock in a great rate. Once we had all paperwork done, (online portal is a breeze) appraisal was done within days and loan underwriting was done soon after without delays. Communication with the title company was smooth and I heard the same feedback from my realtor as well. At no point in time did I feel the need to chase as I was always kept informed of the progress. We were able to close a week earlier than originally planned; could closed even sooner had our sellers been ready. I can't recommend Becky's team and Homefinity more!!

      I got a home mortgage refinance with Homefinity and everything from top to bottom was excellent. Starting with Steve, the rep, to the appraisers to the person that was assigned to specifically handle our case and even the sweet little girl at the title office, everything went as smoothly as possible. Steve was amazing about calling me back if I had a question. It was the constant email stream of letting us know where we were and what’s going on with the process. It made me firmly believe that traditional bank mortgages are dead. Everything was as promised, calls were returned and the process was extremely streamlined. I’ve financed about six houses over the years and this by far is the easiest. The application process was online so it took about 10 minutes. It took longer to get all of our personal documents up than the loan application. I like that we can upload it all. The lending process with Homefinity was the perfect experience.

      I really enjoyed working with Homefinity. All kinds of things happened during the experience, but we've resulted in closing well before I thought we'd ever close. My mortgage broker got sick, and he had somebody important in his chain just leave, virtually without any notice. It went pretty swimmingly all the way through. The rep, Bill, did an absolutely terrific job of communicating where we were in every step. We didn't feel lost or this thing was gonna get hugely delayed. He did a great job of keeping it all together, and we closed on time. The explanation of why certain things were needed, why things would make, from their experience, the process easier, was invaluable.

      I remarked to my wife, “This is about the time as you get older.” You have a lot of mortgage companies. I thought this was the smoothest close that we've ever had in our lifetime. Homefinity did a perfect job. I feel good about the process online. I don't have the best equipment at home. There were some ways that if I had better equipment and in better working order, I would have done a lot better, but once we got our groove of uploading the documents into the system and realizing which set of documents were signed and rescanned, we caught on and it was not a big deal. Personally, whatever we can do online to make the process happen, it should go that direction.

      I had a little depressing time frame though. I would have been happy if we closed within three months, given a low interest rate and extreme demand. I trade stocks for a living, and I also used to be in the credit collection business most of my life, so I realized sometimes how difficult it is for these alternative jobs and entrepreneurs to capture their information and to make sound credit decisions. Sometimes, it's not easy, so I thought that was handled extremely well, and not everybody handles that well. I have some friends that are moving out to Oklahoma City, and I said, “Hey, if you want a really great mortgage broker, Homefinity is your way to go.” If you trust it with your friends and family, it's a good thing.

      I compared reviews and prices, and Homefinity's rating is 4.9 and the price was one of the lowest. We initiated a call with them and after we asked a couple of questions, we decided to go with them. The response time was great and the process was straightforward. There were no complications. The process took a few months though because of the appraising. The area we purchased is crazy hot, so it was very hard to find an appraiser. The first 45 or more days was waiting for appraisal but the underwriting and other processes were smooth.

      I got a rate through an online program that compared a lot of rates and Homefinity was one of the better rates so I went with them. Mario was my rep. We had a slight snafu with one of the underwriters and he took it upon himself to make sure everything got taken care of, even though it wasn't his purview. I was 100% comfortable working with the company. The application process was very simple and quick. It took three weeks. Homefinity was excellent. We're getting all of our refinance things taken care of. We were trying to upgrade and make some renovations around the house. We've already started on them.

      I liked the ease of the online process with Homefinity as well as the availability of understanding the rates and costs upfront without having to go through a whole bunch of pre-application stuff where you're basically applying before knowing the rates. I did a refinance and they had a straightforward application process. Between the conversation and what we did online, there were a minimal amount of steps and there was a fairly self-explanatory website to use. The online process was painless. The information that was being asked for made sense. The information was quick and the communication was swift.

      I worked with Mario and Tiffany and they were both very good. There was also another guy and I liked the fact that he was very available and so was Tiffany. They were easy to get onto the phone if I needed to. They were quick to respond on email when I was traveling. It was an easy and comfortable process. It was just an efficient process. These days, dealing with any company always seems to take twice as long as it should. No one seems to have the phones well-staffed, or email is just generic. But the Homefinity, I was dealing with people who knew what was going on and gave me quick answers.

      There was a little communication issue with the title company. Once I raised the issue with Homefinity, the title company was quick to respond and have people reach out to me and clarify why things were done the way they were done. It was just a little confusing. The money took a little while to come to me. But that was just an understanding of closing out a HELOC process that the title company could have been better at. Other than that, it was all good.

      The rep emailed, called and texted me, all with my permission. He gave me updates on where they were with everything and followed up after we closed even though my mortgage has been sold probably three times. He was fantastic getting us through closing. I’ve bought a home and I've refinanced a few times now. You never know how long it's gonna take but Homefinity worked very quickly. They stayed on top of in terms of communications, gave us timelines and what you can expect. Everything, from first phone call to closing, was maybe 35 days. In terms of ease, we had a notary come to our house because of circumstances. They arranged all that. Everything was seamless and a speedy process, but also very comprehensive and well thought out. If you hadn't done this before, they would certainly take the time to explain to you exactly how the process works and why you're getting charged certain things.

I was looking for a quick painless process and it went really quick and efficient until it got to underwriting then it slowed down. But we went from mid-December, starting the conversation, looking to homes, to closing on the house in six weeks. Their rates were great. This is the 14th home I've purchased in 20 years and this was by far the best experience.

      The communication with Homefinity was great. Cindy and JT were excellent. We ran into some glitches, which were not even kind of in their control. Immediately, my note to my home was sold in the midst of the process from my current lender. So, it transferred ownership. We had to get that straightened. My lender is no longer my lender. So, they had no control over that but that was weird that that happened right in the month that I have to be refinancing. Homefinity's branch processor contacted me. That threw things off. I found myself kind of resubmitting stuff I had already submitted. But everything was explained and I thought they did a wonderful job, and I would definitely go through them again or even recommend Homefinity.

      I was happy with the rate, and the terms were wonderful. They were able to offer me some things that other lenders were not able to offer me. It just made it even that much more simplistic for me. Both Cindy and JT were very responsive. Whenever I called JT, he would answer the phone and we would be able to discuss whatever concerns. He's able to answer any concerns that I had or find out what was going on, which happened with one of the delays with the documents signing.

      The process was extremely redundant and it was time-intensive to locate documents that we did not need in a previous refinance. It was quite a bit of effort for us to even submit the proper paperwork. There could be things that are streamlined to make it a bit clearer and more effective. The interface that they use makes uploading documents a little bit difficult to navigate. If I needed to go back in and confirm what was there or make any modifications, it was a bit hard to navigate on the user end. There could be a PDF checklist of the documents needed to obtain for the entire process so that the client can do it all at once rather than going in at various times.

      Also, the closing process was the worst experience ever. They use mobile notaries and they are inconsistent with the quality of responsiveness and promptness of arriving at appointments. There was a little bit of headache associated with scheduling, getting the mobile notaries on board, and eventually getting one that was very good after going through two others.

      The first time we got together with the notary, the paperwork that we received, which turns out was from Homefinity and not the title companies, only included pages one and two of the actual mortgage out of 18. The mobile notary had another appointment and they had to leave the documents themselves as they were provided. There were a lot of duplicate documents. The only difference was that it was slightly formatted differently. The mobile notary was happy to sort through those on-site rather than only having one copy or a set of copies. But there were two or three copies of some of the documents so deciding what to sign and how many were extremely unclear.

      Then, after all of that was done, we ended up having to call and ask for a new copy of the mortgage. We didn't get it the first time and we had to call back. We received it, sent the package in, and there were still documents that weren't signed as a result of that entire process. We had to schedule a second notary. We were supposed to have the closing documents signed mid-day one day and they didn't have the documents. They scheduled it for later that day and they still didn't have the documents. We had to reschedule for a third one.

Angela was my senior loan advisor and she was awesome. It was a very personal correspondence or relationship with her. I got her direct line. So if I had questions, it was easy to shoot her texts, and then she would respond. It was a pretty seamless process for me.

      Dan from Homefinity was so helpful. He gave me a lot of feedback on our very first call. As we progressed, he even helped me on a Sunday to submit stuff because I work Monday through Friday. He walked me through the application process and things that I needed to submit. I had a refinance and the process was simple. You just need to be computer-savvy to be able to do it. Dan walked me through a couple of things because I don't have a home computer, I have a tablet. So, uploading and saving to put on a secure portal was logistically hard for me. I had to go out and buy an ethernet cable and dust off a computer I haven't used in three years to make all that happen. That was a challenge.

      But as far as anytime something would show up, I got an email, I went out to the portal, it said, "This is what you need," I got it submitted. Everything I was told along the way was true. It was never a "Gotcha" moment. There was also an interest in helping me. It was also so much cheaper for us to borrow the money from Homefinity than it was to take it from our own bank accounts or 401ks. They put us in a whole new tax bracket to do that and there were penalties with early withdrawals from your 401ks.
