They helped me with everything I needed. They showed me each step and every time I had a question, they’d personally text me while I was working. It made everything very convenient for me. They were awesome. They made the process a whole lot easier for me, me being a first-time buyer and I don’t know anything about a loan.

The rep was a hot mess. She wasn't good at communicating. And so we would hear from higher-up people, and then she would give us a different answer than what they told us. Other than that, conducting business with them was easy.

The loan process took two months altogether and it was fairly easy to talk to Vanderbilt. But there was a big miscommunication with the guy I was working with. I thought I was getting a will included in my loan. When we did all the closing paperwork, I didn't read the fine print on everything and it said in there that I was not getting a will. That was my fault. Since I've found out about the whole will situation, I tried to reach out to my guy a couple of times but I always got his voicemail. I left my contact a couple of times. Overall, it was fairly easy conducting business with Vanderbilt. I have a knowledge of what to expect and what I was looking at going in. Vanderbilt is a good company. But going into it, you need to be aware of everything because there are things you can overlook that can impact stuff down the line.

Vanderbilt is a great company and so are its employees. Communication has been pleasurable and everybody that I talked to and did everything with was there for me. The loan specialist was just as excited as us about us getting a home. She was really fabulous and she kept me up to date on everything, which I liked. She answered all my questions too. On the whole, it was a hassle-free and good experience.

I decided to work with Vanderbilt because I got immediate response and people were cordial. My rep contacted me and we mainly communicated via email, which was my preferred communication. I liked how polite and responsive he was. It was so easy at times that I was concerned that things weren't getting done. I didn't hear from him so I got nervous but in reality, things were progressing in the timeline that they were supposed to. Everybody was helpful when I would call in. The only thing was that I got voicemail a lot when I would have to call in. But they responded within 24 hours. If somebody was looking for a mobile home loan, I would tell them to go with Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt is number one in my book. This ain’t my first rodeo with them and they are the way to go. They are good at customer service. They will help you when your credit ain't the best. They will look out for you and give you a home. They are a very reasonable and honest company.

Vanderbilt needed to work a little bit on their internal communication. The left hand didn’t know what the right hand was doing. I would get a call three times a day from different departments. They should have known what they were doing with each other instead of bothering me all day. That aside, I've been overall satisfied with Vanderbilt. The reps were nice to me and they answered my questions.

Vanderbilt was very helpful with explaining stuff to me and keeping in contact with me. They kept me informed by email and by the telephone.

They're a very reliable and friendly company. They would take care of you.

The communication with Vanderbilt was really bad and there was never centralized communication. On some days, the rep would email me, sometimes he would email my husband, and sometimes he would email our Realtor. It was never all at once and was about different things. There were periods where we couldn't get ahold of him for a while. This aspect could have been better. Vanderbilt accepted our offer at the end of March and we didn't close until the middle of July.

There was a lack of communication between Vanderbilt and the home manufacturer. Things were bad at the start and I had to do all the running myself. But after I lost my temper a couple of times, it became easy to conduct business. Things were good after I finally got to talk in person with someone in Vanderbilt. They worked with me and got things all worked out. Vanderbilt is easier to work with than anyone I dealt with.

Vanderbilt had the best deal on the down payment with no closing cost. The communication with them was very good. Every time anything changed, they always contacted us. We never had to contact them to get any information. Instead, we were called and updated on what was going on. I had a very pleasurable experience with the whole procedure. We didn't have a house before and now, we have one.

Vanderbilt's been fine. The whole process, signing the mortgage, getting all of the paperwork done, getting the house moved out there, was simple and easy. It wasn't too long on their end, but due to rain and the state of the lot I chose to put it at has delayed the process. But everything on their end went smoothly.

The first time I tried to contact Vanderbilt, I didn't get any response. But it was the middle of that whole COVID thing, so I just kept trying until I finally got somebody. It took them a couple of weeks to give me a callback. Then I kept getting handed off to different departments and different people. If I could have worked with only one person, it might have gone a little bit faster. But overall, it was not bad at all. When we finally got started to when we finally got finished, it was three weeks.

Working with Vanderbilt was really easy. I work nights and we got a lot of communication done through email. It worked really well for me. It took four weeks to get everything situated, and then I had to come up with the money. Everything else went pretty smooth and I got everything done.

I was approved for the mortgage right away. Though I haven't talked to anybody, they send messages once in a while.

My agent or loan officer was difficult to get ahold of. I would send him emails and he would turn around and ask me for stuff that I already sent him. I would tell him that I already sent the information but he couldn't find it in his email. The communication could be improved a little bit. I got the impression that Vanderbilt was overloaded with work and maybe that's what contributed to some of the issues. That aside, the process was an overall easy transaction. I’d tell friends to utilize Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt was good about letting me know as things progressed where the loan wasn't ready yet. However, there was miscommunication during the signing process where we had told Vanderbilt repeatedly that we would get our own mortgage insurance. They went ahead and my mother thought she was signing for a warranty insurance. Instead, she was signing for a warranty insurance and the underwriter mortgage insurance. That wasn't explained and when you get to that point, you don't have time to read all that. If my mother had time, they would have been in that meeting a few more hours. We weren't aware of that until we got the policy in the mail. We didn't like that after the fact, something happened like that.

Staying in communication with them was very easy. They would contact me if any changes were being made and what was coming up next. They let me know from time to time what I would be facing and explaining throughout the contract about this and that. The rep took things slow and she was all the time wanting to know if I understood what I was gonna sign. I'm impressed with Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt did a credit check and everything came back okay. Their people talked to me and checked all my stuff out. They seemed concerned. The timeframe to get the loan went no more than a week. I was pre-approved so I liked it. Interest rates are always gonna be high and you just have to deal with it. But if I had gotten the loan through the bank, it would have been crazy with what they wanted for the interest rate. Vandebilt helped me buy a home and it's a whole lot better than with the banking that I deal with now.
Reviewed June 20, 2021
Vanderbilt is a large company and they have multiple hands on things. There is a person that handled this and another who handled that. Sometimes one didn't know what the other one was or wasn't doing. It made it a little confusing as to who you were supposed to be talking to about something. It was also COVID and that elongated process like not being able to get the paperwork processed because things were shut down or the appraiser couldn't get out there in time. The loan is finished but we won't start payments until October. Overall, my experience was fine.
Reviewed June 19, 2021
Vanderbilt was good about letting me know exactly what I needed when I was first filling out the loan documents. I had email correspondence and a couple of phone calls. They were always really good about answering my phone calls or getting back easily if I had questions. I mostly communicated with them via phone, which was perfect for me. The rate and terms I got were very competitive compared to what I could have gotten at a local bank. This was why we initially went with Vanderbilt. We couldn't get a manufactured home loan for anywhere near 6.25%.
From the application to the closing process, that took a little longer than I thought it would. But I understood that. I work in a bank and I know with COVID, we were completely inundated with applicants and it’s going all at the same time. Once we signed our loan documents, we expected our house in about 12 weeks but it was 6 months almost. It was also wrong for the foundation. It wouldn’t fit on the foundation that we built. Another one had to be done to fit the foundation so it was a year-long process.

I'm happy with Vanderbilt. They answer in a timely manner. My bill is due on the 1st of the month. I pay my bill when I get my Social Security check which is on the second Wednesday of the month and not the first of the month. If I get paid early, I pay earlier my bill as well. Vanderbilt never harassed me over that. I have an easy time making my payment over the phone through the automated line. I recommended Vanderbilt to my son and his fiancée. They are paying their new home through them now.
Reviewed June 15, 2021
The process took a little bit more time than what I wanted it to. It seems like after I submitted my paperwork, it still took a while for Vanderbilt to go through it and get it processed. I submitted a year's worth of bank statements then they wanted something else. I submitted that then it was something else. Even if I submitted more paperwork than they asked for, still, it didn’t speed the process up. But once the ball got rolling, it was pretty smooth.

The loan process with Vanderbilt was quick and it went smoothly. We had 10,000 to put down but they told us we had to do 7,000, which was 10% of what the trailer was. So that was good. The reps contacted me to let me know what was going on and what they were doing. They answered all our questions and provided everything we needed. I love all three bedrooms as well as the master bathroom. It has plenty of rooms and it’s gorgeous. I like how the shower and the tub are separate, the big walk-in closet and the two other bedrooms are big enough so kids can have a regular sized bed with toys and stuff, and the hallway is what caught my eye. It's different. It was one of my favorite trailers.

I did not have a pleasant experience with Vanderbilt. The process was pretty hard and I didn't get approved. Their agent needs to follow through from beginning to end. Once the process has started and a customer has initiated the application, they need to be very open and make sure the customer understands everything and they walk the customer through it. Just don’t leave them blind and have them waiting. They’re already going through enough stress trying to even go into the process. Even though I was very dissatisfied, I’m still gonna go back to Vanderbilt for my mortgage for my trailer.

I had an excellent experience with everybody at Vanderbilt except for the closing team. They really worked on getting things done at a tight deadline to get the purchase done. They gave me a notice of what I'll need for each step ahead of time instead of when we got there so that I could be prepared. Brittney, their rep helped me through the application and she went above and beyond to help me out. I was having some issues with the tax office and she was calling them after business hours trying to get whatever she could. She was my saving grace with Vanderbilt.
But on the day of closing, I couldn't even get ahold of my closer at all. I had to reach back out to the girl that was helping me before the closing team to get answers for closing. Other than that, I would definitely recommend them to anybody who is in the same situation as I was. Another reason I picked Vanderbilt is 'cause they do manufactured homes and trailer homes, so I would recommend them as well to anybody that's trying to get into a mobile home.
Reviewed May 1, 2021
Once I knew who to contact, the process was relatively easy. Vanderbilt was easy to work with and they have programs for people who don't have a larger down payment. The rep took our concerns and took time to answer them the best that she could. However, we didn't hear anything for like 100 days on the status of our loan. I know that there was a backlog but an open communication is always nice.

Vanderbilt was easy to apply with and they also financed mobile homes. I spoke to the lady that handled my application process the most. She was very friendly. If she didn't know, she would find out for me. She never acted like I was bothering her when I called. She communicated well. When she went on vacation, she let me know how long she would be gone, when she would get back, and if I had any questions, who I could ask for that would answer the question for me. The process would have been a bit shorter, but we changed homes midway through. Altogether, it took us three months. They could have communicated with us a bit better. A lot of times, it would take them a bit to return our calls, especially if we had concerns. But all in all, it wasn't bad.
There are some things that I did not realize when we did the initial viewing of the home. And then I didn't realize it again during the walkthrough. There were some big issues that we have to deal with now. The floor is not well put together. They disclosed to us that there was a leak in the hallway next to our heating and air unit and that they had fixed it, which they did, and they put down new flooring. But what they didn't tell us was they did not replace the subflooring underneath. We have a lot of soft spots. The flooring itself is buckling, so we have to pull up all of it.
And then we found when we moved in that in the farthest bedroom, there had also been a leak with the bathtub, but they had covered it with a dresser. When we originally looked at the home and did the final walkthrough, there were cut-out holes in the walls where they had to access the plumbing. And the floor has sunken in to the point that all of that flooring also has to be replaced. And the roof leaks. We didn't know that either. All in all, I still would have bought the house. I just would have offered a lot less for it. Vanderbilt is a great company to get financing through. They're very helpful.

The guy I was working with told me what all I needed to have ready and I got all that together. Then, I talked to somebody on the phone a couple of times about the payment and whether I'd want to do the two a month or once a month. He explained the difference in those and I picked the every two weeks. Then we went and signed all the papers not long after that.
We had to give the trailer place money down and I wrote them a check out of my savings account. I just realized the other day that when they sent my papers saying the automatic draft was gonna start, it was for my savings account, so I had to go in and change all that. I wish they could ask somebody which one they want to take it out of instead of just assuming. Other than that, it's great. I’ve been waiting to get a new house for 20 years now and working with Vanderbilt made a big impact. It’s helped a lot. If they weren’t willing to loan on mobile homes like a lot of places, I would have been screwed.

I dealt with several different people at Vanderbilt Mortgage and they were all through text messages or on the phone.

They said that the loan had been funded and my first payment will be due on June 1st. The process has been dragging on for a long time since November but that's really not Vanderbilt's fault. I blame it on all this COVID stuff. People are working from home and it wasn't like 10 years ago when I got a loan through Vanderbilt where you just dealt with one person.

It took at least two months to get all the paperwork done with Vanderbilt and I could have been told more information about what was needed or why the process was getting delayed.

I was going to pay my first payment on April and now, I got to push it back to May because I haven't been in my house for 60 days as it wasn't even ready for my first house payment. But everything else was good. If anyone is considering dealing with them, they should make sure to follow up on everything to see where they stand.

Was purchasing a foreclosed home from them in SC. Spoke with them several times a week to check progress as they had contractor working on the place. After a couple months I was told I could finally go see it. They were aware from the beginning that I am in a wheelchair and looking to move in asap due to cost of motel. I was to have to paint one room and put flooring down myself. Rest of house was alright. Inside doors were measured supposedly.. Long winding driveway had been graded... every single thing was untrue.
Driveway was not graded and very dangerous, doorways were not wide enough, entire inside of house was only plywood for floors, every wall inside house was rotted at the bottom, floor joists were giving way underneath me, and the "handicap ramp" was at such a steep angle, wheelchair could not be controlled exiting house. It ran me into rail, hurting my ribs, turned me sideways then at end of ramp was throwing me out of my chair. I filed report with Better Business Bureau. A man called me from Vanderbilt apologizing. They couldn't replace money I had spent on motel while waiting on house. They said it was being advertised as is.
First of all on their ad it was not. They did tell me as is, but there was only to be one room that needed work. Nothing told to me over the months was the truth. The only thing offered to me was for them to look for another home for me to buy. I explained I would no longer trust their company after that terrifying experience. Luckily people went with me as no one from Vanderbilt or their contractor was there to meet me. Was given combination to see house on my own. I am writing this review so that others can be aware if they are planning to have any dealings with this company, in hopes no one else gets lied to or injured. Thank you.

Everything's been good with Vanderbilt. The closing was quick and efficient. They have pushed back the start date on the payments because the house hasn't been set up yet so that was nice of them. We signed the paperwork in October and we still haven't moved into the house. My daughter has talked to them more than I have and they've kept her up-to-date on what they're doing. Every time my daughter and I have talked about it, she's been upbeat about them.

The reps at Vanderbilt and I had a great relationship. We got the appraisal and the one who was doing it checked the siding and the inside. One week after we moved in, the lights were flickering. The lights went off and half of our house worked but half didn’t. When we first looked at the bathroom, we did not realize that there was a hole in the tub. We have since got an estimate from a friend of ours who does awning mobile home, which is what we have. The guy told us not to get into the shower. The floor is rotten and we cannot use it. Vanderbilt was great and that was above and beyond them because they get the appraisal from somewhere else. But I’m not happy with whoever they do the appraisal with. We’re still in the middle of the move and there are things going on left and right but I will contact Vanderbilt.
When I first got Vanderbilt, I was a first-time homeowner and when I contacted them, I got all kinds of numbers about what my final payment was gonna be for my actual mortgage. Our numbers went way up. They had numbers pegged for me and they made it all sound good. Then, they didn't tell me that they needed to take into consideration what our lot rent would be at the mobile home park. I don’t have a lot of money. I had a down payment of $1,500 that I was willing to give them and that was fine. All of a sudden, the down payment was this and then that. It was up and down with a lot of numbers. When the final thing came that I needed to show it was so much money, I was not totally satisfied.

My wife wasn't able to get her license renewed so, that was an issue at first. But Vanderbilt said it was fine because our state closed down the DMV. So, my wife made an appointment with DMV when they were opening for appointments only but it was a month or so past the time we were supposed to close our loan.

Vanderbilt helped me a lot and I'm really happy about it. But the thing is they brought the mobile home out to us here on our land, but they haven't set us everything up yet. So the mobile home is sitting there still. We haven’t moved in yet. There were certain things that we tried to go through to get financed but they didn't help us. But Vanderbilt helped us. They kept us updated on everything that what we needed and what needed to be sent to them. They told us upfront what kind of documents we needed and we got all the documents. Then we sent everything at one time. After that, they never called us again until they fixed everything for us, which was good.
We've been trying to go around, trying to get application here and there. But companies kept denying us. We kept praying and never gave up. Then finally, Vanderbilt gave us an opportunity to go with them. The reps that helped us were pretty professional with the way they talked to us. When we turned in our application, that first lady that called told us that we were approved 93,000 loan. From there, we started working on everything. They were working as a team, which they were doing a good job.

Applying with Vanderbilt took about a month. We weren't able to get them some paperwork and so they took the time to reach out to our employers for us. We worked with Andy and Misty. We liked Andy's response time and she responded quickly if we had questions. Overall, Vanderbilt is clear about everything in their process and they did pretty well for us.
