Note of advice, don't put down the $500 to lock in interest rate, its non refundable, and a trap to make sure you don't switch to another company once they've roped you in.One of the most unprofessional experiences in my life. Without boring you with all the details. I'll sum it up to say that, I kept getting request for documents that I sent over which where formatted correctly for the record. which caused my close date to be pushed back.I asked my loan officer if I was buying down points. At the beggining he said no, but 3 days before closing there was a charge for an additional $5000 in points. With no conversation at all just extra money out my pocket. The night before my closing, my loan got redisclosed for an additional $4000 for taxes that they forgot to factor in. Also note to mention my closing date got pushed back because for 3 days the company didn't pick up the phone.... Not just my loan officer but the "ENTIRE" staff that was working on my loan didn't care to answer the phone. 8 calls a day. So by the end they where supposed to fix documents, which almost made me not be able to close on my deal. I spoke to the manager and asked him to explain the numbers to me at the closing desk. He wouln't and said that it's not his job.Even though that's definition of his job as a loan officer. He said that that this is the way it is, and if I had more money it wouldn't be an issue. His name "ZACH" by the way didn't get his last name. Amerisave if you read this, pull the recorded tape. Either way I'm a week late from closing, currently I now have a week before I have to be completely moved out of my precious home, with 25 minutes left to close this deal or else I'd have no where to live because the seller was going to pull since the deal had to be pushed. The manager says to me " Either you can take this deal the way it is or leave it, but I don't have to explain anything to you." My heart broke because he knew he backed me into a corner I couldn't get out of. I signed the papers for me and my family so that I could move. My loan officer was a friendly nice guy, but this deal didn't work out for either of us to. I feel bad for him because he seemed stuck in the middle of this too, even though he didn't tell me I was paying an extra $5000 in points. His name is "Matthew Rhodes". and this is the short version..... read more
