    My loan officer was awesome and he made himself available. He handled everything and it was easy to communicate with him. He gave me information as far as how much I would be saving during the refinancing. There were certain documents that he had to send because of my state and he was very helpful with that. Also, the website where you upload the documents and things of that nature was to the point. It was a very smooth and easy process.

He stayed in contact and when I messaged him about some questions, he always got back to me rather quickly. He did a good job of communicating with me and he made the process really easy.

    The process took a little bit longer than I thought it was going to, but it was pretty easy to do. They required a lot of paper documentation instead of just e-signing stuff. That would make it a lot easier if I could e-sign. But the reps got back to me pretty quick when I needed to get ahold of them. Although I never heard that my loan was approved until I got an email from RateGenius. The people I was working with never closed it out with me personally but the company did.

    I contacted them and within 48 hours, I had an approval and the check was cut within five business days. Everything was really fast and smooth. Everything got funded. They had great communication. There were constant text messages with updates throughout the whole process. The new rate is better than my last. With federal interest rates rising, I want to try to get ahead of the game as my credit got a little stronger. It saved me about seven points, which is great.

    The process was pretty straightforward. It took less than half an hour. The representative that I was assigned to was Bert. I spoke with him and he was very helpful. At the time that I did the application, he told me what information I needed to upload. So I did that. Once he had it, he needed specifics that I had to get off of my car. But it was a fairly simple process.

    I'm satisfied with the rate. My original rate was around 15%. So the fact that they got it less than 5% was great. My whole experience was hassle-free. The only time that it took me was I had to get a form notarized, but everything else, you can literally do from your smartphone. So I would definitely recommend RateGenius to anyone.

    My representative, Dalton, was outstanding. He really shopped around and worked hard to find the loan that was right for me. I'm very grateful and happy for the refinance that he helped me with. The savings over the lifetime of the loan is going to be several thousand dollars. Also, the monthly payment went down by a little over 100 bucks, which I'm thrilled about because it's always nice to have 100 more dollars in your pocket every month. So I'm happy about both things.

    The process with RateGenius was easy. They sent me the link where I could log in and see the transaction and what I needed to upload. My agent was also very nice and quick on everything. They did two loans for me. The first loan took three days to get processed and the second one didn't take longer than two days. The rates and terms that I got were excellent as well. On the first loan, the agent was saying that she got me a good deal but I'd be paying a little bit more. Then she asked what I was looking for, so I told her what I was looking for to be able to pay a lower payment than what I was paying. She went beyond that and found me somebody with a lower interest rate and with extra incentives that I didn't have.

    The interest rate on the loan I had with somebody else was a 16 something and she got me a 6.2. Plus, I didn't have the warranty and she included that in the deal as well. She saved me close to $7,000 a year on the first loan which was a lot. She said it was just 2,000 or 3,000 in a year for people. All in all, I'm going to continue to use RateGenius and I'm going to refer them to everybody I know.

    The service at Rate Genius is absolutely terrible. The worst experience I have ever had. I started an auto refinance in November and was told it's a quick and easy process. It is now January. My calls and messages don't get returned, there's like no communication and complete disorganization. I had more than three people messaging to tell me to complete paperwork that I already completed or to tell me that I got an offer and to call in when I already accepted an offer. There was paperwork I needed to print and send in...but my address was inputted incorrectly and that took almost another two weeks to fix that.

    Then when I completed the new paperwork and sent it in, I found out the online paperwork couldn't be accepted online and they needed to send out more paperwork. At this point, I was away from home and I gave them the address of where I was staying. They said they would send it. It didn't show up. For two weeks. When I got back home the paperwork was there. Finished it, sent it in. Called for a follow up, was told they would call back within a half hour. That never happened. It's been almost a week. And now since it's taken so long, I had to pay an additional car payment to my old company which I was trying to avoid because it's so expensive (hence, the car refinance). Long story short, don't use this company. It's been nearly three months of headache just to get a car refinanced. Absolutely horrible.
