Our editor’s take

We recommend Valon Mortgage for homebuyers looking to close fast, since it claims closing on a home can take as little as 15 days. People who don’t want to be passed off to an unknown mortgage servicer once their loan closes will also appreciate that Valon Mortgage typically doesn’t sell its loans. That means you’ll likely only work with one company for the life of your loan.

However, homebuyers who want to work with established companies might feel uneasy with new companies like Valon Mortgage. It was founded in 2019, and there aren’t many reviews online about customers’ lending experience. Buyers looking to make a small down payment might also not find many options with Valon beyond an FHA loan. It generally requires at least 10% down for its loans and doesn’t offer VA or USDA loans.

How does Valon Mortgage work?

Homebuyers wanting a mortgage can fill out Valon’s 10- to 15-minute online mortgage pre-approval application. The online application reduces the time it typically takes to apply by automatically pulling in your relevant information. Valon’s lenders will do a hard credit pull, which temporarily impacts your credit score.

From there, someone from its lending team contacts you about the best loan for your needs and your preapproval. Once a seller accepts your offer, Valon claims it can close on your mortgage in as little as 15 days.

In most cases, Valon will also be your loan servicer, so you’ll continue to work with the company for as long as you have the loan. Its online portal tracks your mortgage’s progress and manages your payments.

Valon Mortgage products and services

Valon Mortgage offers standard mortgage products like conventional, jumbo and FHA loans, but not others like VA or USDA loans. If you’re refinancing, your options include cash-out refinancing, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit.

Here’s what to know about Valon’s mortgage loans:

  • Conventional loan: Valon usually requires borrowers to put a 10% to 20% down payment on their future home to be eligible for its conventional loan. Fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages are available.
  • Jumbo loan: These loans are used when you need to finance more than the limit set for a conventional loan. Fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages are available.
  • FHA loan: This government-backed loan is designed for low-to-moderate-income homebuyers purchasing their primary residence.

Besides home loans, Valon also sells home, auto and specialty insurance like flood, earthquake, Airbnb and more.

Valon Mortgage rates

Valon doesn’t disclose its mortgage rate only. It only states that your rate depends on factors like your:

  • Loan type
  • Credit score
  • Down payment amount
  • Loan amount
  • Property value
  • Intended use of property

Once you have your Valon mortgage rate, you can compare it with your state’s average rates using the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s interest rate tool.

Valon Mortgage fees

Valon doesn’t disclose its lender fees for its loan products. For mortgage loans, it claims that Valon homeowners save an average of $1,243 on fees, but it doesn’t elaborate on which fees are saving buyers money.

However, Valon does post its mortgage servicing fees, so you know the fees you might need to pay throughout your loan term. Valon doesn’t charge to cancel your escrow or generate a payoff statement and usually charges 5% of your monthly installment as a late fee.

    Just a bad business. Didn't get a choice who my mortgage got sold to though, I chose a different lender initially. This one has let me down unfortunately. It's sad that they'll not be receiving business from me in the future.

    Dealing with Valon was the worst experience of my adult life and I'm 60 yr. Old self employed business owner with 3 properties, Cindy ** and Lucia ** are a tag team of frustration. I would never recommend this company to anyone

      I'd give it MINUS -5 stars. I bought my house with my mom (although put in her name), unfortunately my mother passed away 7 mos after we bought it. My first call to Valon was to see if I could assume the mortgage and the rep told me they did not do Assumptions. So I waited years to go through probate so I could stay in the house as long as I could. I called again to inquire about assumptions and then was told I could. Signed it in February of 2025 then find out I needed to use one of THEIR notaries, never told that and it wasn't in the paperwork. Wasted another month. Now we are 9 mos later and they still are not reporting my payments to the credit bureau. I have since also gotten the deed in my name and sent to them. I own the house! I have been making the payment since day one when my mother was still here. I have request NUMEROUS times to report it to the credit bureau! Still nothing to this day!

      Most unprofessional bunch of representatives. I got a few that I had to tell them they were kind and understanding but most were rude and gave me false information. When I asked the supervisors to replay the "recorded calls, as it tells you when you call you are recorded" I was told once they would use it as a learning tool, other times they probably never listened to them, because they never called me back. I was told by one representative named DANIELLE that she understood my situation and to call her directly from now on... I called her several times and she refused to take my calls or call me back either. I would never recommend this company EVER!!! STAY AWAY FROM VALON MORTGAGE!!!

      After a month of emails and calling "Customer service" asking for a call back, the only way I got their attention (and a response) was by filing a complaint online with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (**). It will take you less than 5 mins online. DO IT!!!!

      So these guys bought my mortgage, messed up the AUTO payment I had in place, mucked up the timing and somehow marked my account overpaid themselves... THEN put my account into overdue, applied late fees, sent me to collections and hit my credit report. I literally did nothing. This should not be allowed.

      Dovenmuehle sold my mortgage to Valon. I had automatic monthly payments and was told it would automatically transfer to Valon. As promised after transferring, my automatic payments continued. Looking at my statement, however I noticed a $41 late fee. How does one get a late fee for an automatic payment? They don't know so they blamed it on Dovenmuehle. At the same time they can't waive the fee, so now they are collecting a fee that they acknowledge doesn't belong to them

      Twice now yes twice I had to fix their mistakes. A couple months ago I found an error. Valron stopped taking escrow. Did they notice the problem? Nope. I HAD to call them and tell them they messed up. Yes, I had to do someone's job and tell them Valron messed up. Like they were clueless for real. Never noticed it. Now after fixing this I started paying in escrow. Valron took my money but guess what NEVER RENEWED MY INSURANCE. So now they are STEALING MONEY.

      I am paying for insurance but nah they never renewed it. I had to CALL THEM AGAIN to tell them they screwed up. TWICE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS I AM CALLING THEM. Why do they even have staff? I mean they are not working if I NEED TO KEEP POINTING OUT THEIR MISTAKES. I'm not kidding. They keep messing up and I have to tell them how to fix it. They need to be investigated or something. SCAM!!! IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE MY MONEY AT LEAST RENEW MY INSURANCE or stop scamming me.

      We received a mortgage payoff statement on 3/6/25 with our total due by 4/5/25. We sent in the total amount including processing and lien release fees on 4/1/25, Valon cashed our check, but processed it incorrectly adding more to our escrow, resulting in a $57.92 shortage on the principal. They sent us another bill for $57.92 + $.18 interest and another $55.50 processing & lien release fee. I called several times, they wouldn't make the adjustments to resolve the issue, I requested to speak to a supervisor, they promised a call back. Still no call back and no resolution. Find a company that cares about people and is less automated.

      My switch to Valon has not been pleasant. They had me send PDFs of my insurance company s then they are way behind in keeping up with my escrow account. Furthermore I haven't received credit for a escrow payment that was made 6 weeks ago which has resulted in a higher monthly payment. My overall experience has NOT started off good at ALL.... especially considering my history of being an excellent customer.
