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.

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.

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.

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.
