    This is what happen to me. Royal United told me I could get cash back out of my home, bugging me every day about getting everything ready for the appraiser to come out and finally did but they cancelled my loan without telling me. The man that did the appraisal told me and then told me he didn’t finish the work. This place has all my info and my address. I’m wondering if they are selling it on the black web.

    Royal United Mortgage called me offering a refinance Mortgage, I told them they wouldn't be able to help me as 6 other mortgage companies were unable to help me. All of which told me in the first 15 mins that they couldn't help me, but they convinced me to let them try. After about 15 mins they said they could help me, but I had to pay 650 for an appraisal on my house. They told me the loan was no problem, I was sure to get it as long as the house came in at the estimated value. The house came in at 165,000 which they said was still good enough for the loan but would be a little less. Then called me back and said I needed to get some remarks off my credit report which I was able to do, and told me I needed to switch insurance carriers which they switched for me without my permission then sent me a denial letter.

    They sure will tell you a good story but in the end it will cost you. Spend weeks dealing with this company and spent Over 600$ to get nowhere. 10 people from 10 different numbers call you all day, appraisal was a joke at best. Guy came out to the house, took pictures and left. 15 mins total he was there, for 620$. What a scam!!! Now I’m out 620$ with no reimbursement. Never will I recommend this company to anyone.

    Hello, person reading this review. Have you never heard of Royal United before either? Are your credit cards nearly maxed out? Are you poor and desperate while also somehow owning your home? Did you figure that taking out an equity home loan would fix all your problems? There's a reason why you've never heard of Royal United. They're con men, through and through. They'll string you along, make you jump through hoop after hoop, only to hit you with some insane demand AGAIN. For me, it was the insane 600 appraisal fee. I called around. The big companies don't do that appraisal fee. Nor do they ask you insanely personal questions that invade your privacy. They have the common courtesy to at least deny you to your FACE instead of slapping you with an email a few days later after all the running around you did for them. They forced me to ruin my credit even further, and for that I can never forgive them.

    NEVER choose this company for anything. Only recommend them to your enemies. That's how vile these monsters are. I wish this website could let me give a 0 star review after everything they've put me through. tl;dr- If you're poor, don't bother. If your house isn't absolutely perfect, don't bother. That royal in their name isn't for nothing. They don't care at all about poor people. Oh, and I didn't even mention how pushy they are.

    I wish I had read these reviews prior to wasting my time as well. I started the process with Taylor in June 0f 2023. The company has a really good tactic of storytelling. They share what seems to be all about their lives, families, work history etc. I admit this was a nice touch but now I know it was really BS, and they do it; to buy time. Taylor disappeared about 3 weeks into the process. Not returning calls or text. She suggested I pay off a large credit card and my loan would have no problem getting funded. So I did.

    Late July after hearing from no one, I made on last ditch effort to send a text. I received a call from Johnathan, a senior officer who also shared his life story, expertise and how he was guaranteed to help me and had a good buddy in the company that he could call today to get approved. He basically had to review my file from scratch after it was abandoned by Taylor. Then after all these promises he proceeded to hand me off to Q, a very young chiper kid who also shared his life, babysitting his siblings, while living at home with his parents.

    One day when I couldn't get a hold of him he said it was his birthday and he just didn't feel like working that day, but that he would take care of my file and treat me just like he would his mother or grandmother. Which he truly did, because I never heard back from him. Then I was moved onto Bobbi, she was actually the most helpful and actually corresponded with me more than anyone in the company. It just seemed like they and underwriting could not get on the same page regarding information needed etc.

    Once August hit and I spent I well over $5K at their request and added an additional $4k to reserves I realized that a larger banking institution would be better. I emailed them that I was just going to move on. But now every Saturday or Sunday I get this strange text from them asking if I am available Monday to speak. Of course no one calls back.

    What seemed like a strong communicative beginning of service from them with all the things they are able to do for you, and how excited they are to help you turns into a black abyss of voidness, complete lack of communication if there is a small hiccup. I am not even upset that I am not getting financing from them, I'm just like what happened to everyone in the process. Is my file sitting on an empty desk somewhere? I would of definitely scored them higher if they had kept the same enthusiasm and OVERLY communicative style from beginning to end, even if they would of sent me a denial letter, I would of thanked them for their kindness. But somewhere their enthusiasm died in the process and I was just the little man needed help that couldn't be given.

    Do not use this company. I applied for a refi. 1st Mortgage and the original loan quoted was for 200k, I was looking to pay off some debt and do a renovation to my property before the sale. I sent them all documents they asked for within 24 hours and paid for an appraisal ($500) which came in higher than expected. Then they told me they may have to lower my loan amount due to DTI which I said was fine and asked for an updated quote, option 2 was that if I got a co-signer I could potentially get the 200k. I sent them information for my co-signer and then also asked for a new loan quote for just myself in case the co-signer fell through. That was over three weeks ago and all now I haven't heard anything back.

    When I emailed their VP I got a text message from the loan officer Hayden saying that more information was needed from my co-signer! I responded that I would like to see loan options for just myself and didn't get a response. The loan officer seemed more interested when they thought I could get a higher loan and ghosted me after. I have been contacting these people since the appraisal and have heard nothing. I am now out $500 and a ding to my credit.

    I did a refinance and it ended up being a pretty smooth experience. All online/over the phone. Not quite the cheapest, but so much easier than the refinance I did with PNC a few years ago. My Loan Officer was very responsive to texts and emails, walked me through all of the fees and loan details throughout the process.

    I was contacted by this company and they tried to get me to take a mortgage...they make it sound simple and I would be approved...they told me they would call me and they wouldn't...they told me they called me and I showed no incoming call from them...they also reviewed my credit and continued to tell me I was approved...they again told me they would call me and they wouldn't answer my call nor would they call me back...I told them I was going to miss loan payments and they assured me I was getting the loan and not to worry...because they lied to me, my credit score has gone down over 140 points...
