    The entire process was painless from start to finish. Joseph, the banker with whom I initially spoke, provided exceptional service. Your website was always up and processing documents and other tasks for me was always easy. This is the second time I've used Quicken/Rocket Mortgage and I've been very pleased with the services and product each time.

    I closed the loan 3 weeks ago and just yesterday received a line by line, itemized and easy to visualize cost disclosure document. Maybe I should have asked for one before agreeing. Way too late now for any cost comparison. I was particularly irked that I paid a $25 out going wire transfer fee and a $12 incoming fee to the bank. I was never told about the fee beforehand. I know this was a bank charge but Quicken knew about it because the $25 charge was on the cost sheet I just received. I should have been made aware of this. I did feel a little rushed in the process.

    Pros: The representative I worked with was quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. He was patient and clear with explanations. He was able to answer all my questions and did so promptly. Cons: Not the best rates out there. Instead they claim that they service the loan instead of selling it. Is this better? Probably a little, but not necessarily for the cost of a subpar loan. They were able to match a better offer from a different lender once provided with an official offer from another lender. Overall, pretty positive. They did a decent job and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Admittedly, some concessions were made for Covid-19, but it all went so well. We went from a 20 year, to a 10 year (my goal had been 15 years).

    We have had a mortgage with Quicken Loans for many years and have been very happy with the service. Chris ** was our mortgage banker for this refinance, as he was very professional and responsive. The only complaint we had with with Amrock and our title analyst Corey **. While waiting for our title insurance policy, he called daily - sometimes several times a day, and quoted some arcane law that didn't even apply. In addition, he failed to follow the wiring instructions for the disbursement of funds upon closing, which caused my husband to have to drive back to Wilmington while we were on vacation and go to the bank. Again, Rocket Mortgage was great, Amrock not so much.

    I went with Rocket Mortgage because I had used them once and things worked out well. I have excellent credit BTW. Sorry to say that wasn’t the case this time.

    Went into the discussions saying that I wanted to pay 10% down. And an origination fee of $1,200. With whatever interest rate they could give me as I was selling a house and will be paying off the loan in a short time frame. Things progressed with the insatiable amount of documentation required to appease them. Then some weeks later out of the blue I am asked electronically to sign a loan disclosure that is NOTHING like what we agreed to. Origination fees were now $8,200. And money down was now at 20%.

    No call, no discussion, nothing. When I called to ask what was going on no seemed to know and said. “Oh you need to discuss that with your banker”. (A difficult task in itself). So I told the “loan processing team” he had 10 mins to call me back or the loan was cancelled. In the meantime I went to Lending Tree who hooked me up with a loan officer who got me a -$6,200 (yes negative) origination fee plus 10% down. That’s more than a $14,000 difference wow. So in summary if you want great loan valuation DO NOT use ROCKET MORTGAGE. Use a smaller banking institution and you will get more out of all your effort.

    Everyone we worked with were top notch. Communication was very clear and everyone was helpful. The only complaint with the process was the amount of time it took to close. There were a couple of months of thinking we'd close any day and we also had to resubmit pay information multiple times due to these unexplained delays. A faster process and more proactive communication about expected delays would have helped to make this a 5 star review. But don't get me wrong, we are very happy with our move to QL.

    So I purchased my home in 2019 and got a 3.625% interest rate via the VA. 1 year later Rocket offered me a 2.25%. My home appraised at 170k last year. Since then I have put 50k in upgrades into it. Which in turn should have raised the appraised value of my home. Well it came in 5k less. I have the only house in my area that decreased in value by improving it. I called Rocket after I seen the appraised, noticed closing costs went from zero to $5,500 then 8,500. I plead my case and got no response. They wouldn't answer my phone calls. I had to give them 500 for the appraisal that I later found out was not even needed in a streamline VA refi.

    I finally had to dispute the charge with USAA and they credited it back to my account. I think they are scammers and purposely low ball appraisals to make money. Stay clear of them. I went with cross country, zero $ out of my pocket, and my payment went down $200.

    I started the pre-approval and that went off without a hitch. Once I put in my offer on the home I went into full approval and had no problem. Once we went into processing for closure things spiraled. The mortgage company dropped the ball while assuring me everything was fine by not ordering the appraisal which I paid for after receiving full approval of the loan, approximately one week in. After about 3 weeks of waiting for the survey, doing my personal inspections of the property in that 10 day window and getting bids, purchasing annual homeowners insurance things stalled. I contact them and they stated they were waiting on the title company. Title company told me they were waiting on them for the appraisal. I contacted Rocket again. Told them the title company informed me they were waiting on them.

    The processing dept stated that they were waiting on the appraisal report...an appraisal that was paid for by me and supposedly ordered by the loan officer the day I got full approval for the loan. The appraisal company had not submitted their report due to a "family emergency". Once my realtor contacted them for an update after I had contacted them I was informed the closing date was being moved back which caused me all kinds of problems as I had arranged for delivery of a POD for the day after closing. So, now I had to request an extension from the seller and pay additional rent on the home I rented as a transition home. Luckily, I was able to get the extension on both the rental and the closing w/ the seller. However it cost me an additional $1,400.00 and delays all of the vendors who were going to start working on my home once it closed.

    This was a slam dunk loan, I had all of my tasks completed within 8 working days. Someone at rocket dropped the ball. I got an alert from Rocket 2 days after my realtor's call that we had to do the extension...the appraisal had been scheduled...color me confused as I had been told a week-and-a-half earlier that it was already done and they were waiting on the report. Never do business with them again. Will be refinancing in a year to get rid of them as my lien holder. If they are this incompetent getting me the loan, I can't imagine what it will be like dealing with them to pay it. I regret not using my own bank. They carried the loan on my last home and it was a flawless process. I am too close to the finish line now and would lose the home if I withdrew at this point to get alternate financing. A relative recommended them who had dealt with Quicken before Rocket took them over.

But come July our mortgage had not transferred and we were dinged for a late mortgage payment.

We continued to give them everything they asked for as more and more time passed.

    I have a mortgage with Quicken Loans/Rocket. I called about refinancing for information purposes as I didn't want to start the process and risk a hard pull on my credit which can lower one's FICO score. I decided to go ahead and do the refinance based on the historically low interest rates and the refinance fee that will go into effect 12/1/2020. The process was smooth up until I got my review of the loan origination fee and closing costs. The portion of the cost that was fees was $15,500. The portion that was prepaid insurance, taxes, etc was $4,500. This meant $20,000 in costs and fees to refinance.

    The loan officer was very aggressive trying to close the deal. I told him I was very disappointed in QL/Rocket, I would not allow this huge amount to be added to my loan, I would just go to Bankrate and find a calculator that would show me how to pay off the 17 years on my 20 year loan with them in 15 years. Sure I'm still paying 3.99% interest by not refinancing. But I'm sure the math will show that by paying off my 3.99% loan in 15 years may not cost me any more than paying $15,500 in closing costs and then 2.5% on that amount.

    It seems QL/Rocket is driving 15 year loans from my research. I refinanced with Q:L/Rocket in 2017 at 3.99% and the loan origination fees were about $6,500. I told Mr. ** I remember 2008 and all the shady mortgage practices. My brother is a foreclosure specialist in real estate, and I was intimately involved in how lame the mortgage companies and federal mortgage entities were run. I said "I wonder if we will be hearing about QL/Rocket a few years from now, just like other mortgage entities in 2008, and the prospect of shady practices". No response.

    It would be impossible to get any kind of estimate on what the closing costs would be. I have very little debt and a strong FICO. This was a straight refi with no cash out. Plenty of equity in the home like $200,00+ over the mortgage based on their appraisal. I think the QL/Rocket has gotten so big they have turned into a monster. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will have the data based on consumer complaints. I encourage everyone to make a complaint for their tracking. Eventually with enough complaints, they can take action. **.

    I was shopping around for a lower rate and was contacted by the Rocket Mortgage team in response to my inquiry. I started the process in mid February. I wanted to reduce the rate on my existing loan and made it very clear upfront that I was not interested in extending the length of my loan, nor was I looking to cash in on my equity - a lower fixed rate was what I wanted. My on time payment history is excellent, but my debt to income ratio is high, and this is literally the one thing holding my score down. This is not a secret to me and we discussed it at length upfront. I explained that my hope was to lower my rate, reduce my payment a little, and put any savings towards driving down my existing revolving debt and improving my score some more so I could revisit this again in 8-12 months, and hopefully get an even better rate.

    My application was “conditionally approved” with an estimated 4k in closing costs, and I signed the release to allow my credit report to be pulled. I paid the deposit fee and watched the site as directed and provided required paperwork, but as we neared the expiration date for my rate lock, my status remained in the “we have everything we need” status. I finally contacted them again, and was told everything was a go, but somehow the date came and went and my loan did not close on schedule. I called back and the gal told me somebody dropped the ball on their side, and that they would just need to roll everything into a new app, I could re-sign everything, and with a few quick signatures we would be good to go with my originally agreed upon rate.

    However, that was NOT the case at all and I had to resubmit many of the same documents again. Nothing in my life has changed except I’ve made another month of on-time payments and my score has improved. But, I did more hoop jumping anyway, and once again provided what they asked and fast forward now to 05/14 (yes, the middle of MAY) and I get a call from someone completely different telling me that due to my debt to income ratio, they can now only offer me a 30 year loan with $13k+ in closing costs. He tried to convince me that I could just make the payment I agreed to for the 20 year note and everything would be the same. Oh really?

    I had to point out to him that with his most recent proposal, I would be absorbing 13k in closing costs for a 30 year loan that I said upfront I had no interest in, not to mention I planned to restructure again in a year or less. Thanks, but NO THANKS. These guys are not the reputable organization they tout themselves to be, and frankly their shady tactics are insulting.

    Thanks for your vote!
