The homebuying process as a first time buyer was difficult for me for a number of reasons - my…read moreagent was awful and completely unhelpful, I bought during the summer months so houses were flying off the market within days, and I was constantly disappointed by the houses I toured. Everything turned around for me once I started working with Bob (Robert) and Jessica. I called them at all hours of the day with a million and one questions and they were not only responsive, but also patiently explained every little detail that I was confused about (which was a lot). Bob came up with several different loan scenarios for me, all of which included every incentive program that I qualified for. After speaking with a number of different lenders and real estate agents, I realized that things like city-specific financial incentives are not common knowledge, even among experts in the trade. Bob knows his stuff and ended up saving me a LOT of money. He even called me once to say, "Great news - I just found a way to save you $1,500." Need I say more? I was also extremely grateful for Jessica, Bob's assistant. One time, Bob was in a meeting and normally, that's usually a sign to the client that they'll have to wait for a call back, but Jessica was so knowledgeable about my files and current situation, that she was able to help me with all that I needed herself. Bob also called to follow up after his meeting. Double win. I never even had to step foot in their office. I usually never write online reviews, but I really cannot say enough about Bob and Jessica at First Home Mortgage. If you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend!

What can I say, theses guys at Academy Mortgage are just amazing! What I accomplished in six (6)…read moreweeks with Brian and the team over at Academy Mortgage, could not be accomplished in over six (6) months with Lending Tree!!! Before I found these guys, I was thoroughly run through the ringer at Lending Tree. This is the story, trimmed down: I spent literally six months trying to get a refinance through Lending Tree. I wish I'd read the reviews first cause I would have never gone that route (and never will again). Trying to get a loan from Lending Tree was quite possibly the worst experience I've ever had in over 30 years and I remember quite vividly as a child getting my loose teeth pulled out by my mother with a bloody towel. For one, Lending Tree is notorious for employee roll-over. I had three (3) different agents, working in two different time-zones, sometimes with 2-3 weeks going by before I was assigned a new agent. You know it's game-over when you call the agent's extension and received "Welcome to Microsoft Exchange!". Which meant another agent got the axe. Once the new agent was assigned, I had to resubmit parts of lost information, and re-establish a relationship with the agent which was unbearably stressful. Long story short, I was in my last few months before an Interest-Only loan I was locked in on went terminal (a decision I poorly agreed to at one time due to lack of capitol and other reasons, too much to go into at this time)... I talked to my Real-estate guy and he said I should have hit him up to begin with, he knew just the group to work with, they're local, they're nimble, they stay on-top of it; and man was he right. I was provided Brian N.'s cell phone # over at Academy Mortgage... That right there closed the deal for me. Communication with Lending Tree was atrocious, I would place a call or send an email/fax and not receive word back for three (3) *business days*... Imagine communicating with someone and it taking 12-15 business days to get one issue resolved because if you had one 't' that needed crossed or an 'I' that wasn't dotted, you had to resubmit; pulling your hair out in the process. When I called Academy there was a real human voice at the end of the phone every time. I was able to communicate w/the folks at Academy in real-time and they were completely understanding of situation, in-fact, they even went out of the way to follow up to my emails over the weekends. As I stated above, what I accomplished in six weeks with Brian and the team over at Academy Mortgage could not be accomplished in over six months with Lending Tree. These guys will be my lender for life. Regards, Tom

Cazle Mortgage secured two loans for my family and I to purchase the home of our dreams. No…read morecomplaints there. After closing, as many mortgage service providers do, they "sold" one of the loans to another company. I repeatedly reached out to both Cazle and the other company over the next two months in order to make my first mortgage payment on time, as the company that they sold our loan to didn't recognize our names in the system and ultimately, never received our loan. (I have at least 8 emails and many recorded calls documenting my efforts.) Unfortunately, Cazle dropped the ball and we got caught in the crosswinds. Instead of attempting to remedy the situation, or even apologizing in a meaningful way for their mistake, the harassment began by Gary Becker and Barry Diggins, the owner of Cazle Mortgage. I was berated for not having made timely mortgage payments and accused of trying to avoid my financial responsibility. This was particularly disappointing with respect to Gary, who held our hand through the loan application process, and seemed to understand how important our new home was to our family. Ultimately, through no help of Cazle Mortgage, I got the paperwork from the correct lender, and made all payments to date. Perhaps this was a unique situation? I don't know. As owners of multiple real estate properties, and working professionals, we have never experienced the lack of professionalism, nasty harassment and ultimate narcissism displayed by Barry - especially during the holiday season. Cazle Mortgage leaves a lot to be desired. Buyer beware.
