She was able to get me the best rate in such competitive market, but that was not the best thing. Our seller had so many reservations about the VA loan (wanted to sell to someone with conventional loan) but when seller and their agent talked to Lana and asked so many questions, Lana was extremely patient and addressed all their concerns and finally we got our offer accepted just because of Lana Jern. She remains so busy but she or her team-member always found time to respond to any of my questions. 100% would work with her again. Summary: Extremely knowledgeable, puts clients interest at the top, result driven, courteous and friendly

This is one of the worst companies you could ever do business with!!!…read moreThey said my taxes and insurance went up, then they charged me 4 times the increase. They said my escrow account had a shortfall, but I refinanced with them last year, and they produced the numbers. So my interest rate went down more than a point and now I'm paying the same amount as before the refinancing. I feel like they are playing a game of bait and switch. This is a horrible company that will take advantage of people!!!

Austin First Mortgage usually directly provides the lowest interest rate on the market. They are…read morevery motivated to get things done in time BUT they tends to put everything they requested from the customer's (loan applicant) end on extreme rush. They once sent me a document of more than 30 pages and ask me to sign within 2 hours. They also sent me a list of requested 7 or 8 documents (e.g. copy of ID, bank statements, etc.) and expect me to get all of them ready within the same day. Every time if you do not provide what they need in time, they will "remind" you that the delay from your end might DELAY CLOSING. It was a thrilling experience, but once passed this phase (and got used to their style and pace), it went smoothly. The front desk lady who will be processing your "lock rate" documents sounds grumpy and very impatient. All the other people I have worked with from Austin First Mortgage were pretty nice and helpful (except that they put everything on rush). I do recommend the management at Austin First Mortgage to consider training their employees to be more courteous to the clients. I am really glad that they were able to get the loan ready to close the transaction on time. From what I have heard, some big banks does not push you (or not even follow up with you regularly) for the documents but it usually ends up delaying closing. To sum up, I would recommend Austin First Mortgage to people who want to get their loan ready in time. But it does take a while to get used to their "pushy" style. However, if you cannot stand being "bossed" around at all, my suggestion is to get a quote from Austin First Mortgage (as they usually directly provide the lowest rate on the market) and then go to your bank and ask them to match the rate.

First off, their rate is very competitive…read more But be ready with bad service and lack of communication. We closed in almost 90 days. First 60 days, we uploaded Loan application and many documents. Locked in rate. Didn't hear for 60 days. Kept trying to reach them. Their main phone number - a receptionist who doesn't know anything got unfriendly and just transferred me to a voicemail. Nobody ever called me back. I called direct phone number of the person sssigned to me. Her phone said "this mailbox is full. Goodbye". Could never leave a voicemail on her phone. When I emailed them, there was hardly any responses once I paid them $500 to start the process. I prayed they really processed our refi. Otherwise I lost $500 The last 15 -20 days the person kept emailing us wanting this, that, although many documents we already uploaded in their system. And always hurrying us up.. .. I need this ASAP.. ..need that ASAP.... First she said would close in 2 weeks. Then suddenly on Thursday night emailed me saying wanna close on Saturday morning. Well, I didn't open my email till Friday afternoon and I wanna review the numbers she put together to make sure nothing was wrong. We are not talking small amount when it comes to refi house. I emailed her saying "can we close on Monday?" She said nope .. rate gonna expire. Well, if they didn't drag their feet the first 60 days, rate wouldn't have expired. Until Friday night, I still didn't know where the title office is. We normally go title office to close. It turned out Saturday morning the person from title company called to setup closing time at our house. Even after closing, we still got an email from this mortgage company, asking my Company HR was I still employed ? Then they emailed asking if my house was damaged in Feb winter storm, sent them pictures of our house and signed declaration our house wasn't damaged. They stay true to their quoted numbers but the pain , lack of communications and disorganization make me hesitate to use them again. Only go if you are ok with very little communication

Lee was part of our journey from beginning to end - he was very generous with his time in explaining how mortgages work and how much we could afford, answered our many questions and helped figure out the right strategy, and made calls of support to selling agents whenever we made an offer. We were able to make the winning offer on our dream home thanks to E. Lee offering quick closing on our loan. The rates offered were great, he helped us rate lock at the perfect time in turbulent conditions, and the underwriting process couldn't have gone any smoother. We also ended up getting the best quote for homeowner's insurance from one of the brokers recommended by E. Lee's team. I won't hesitate to reach out to E. Lee for my future mortgage needs.
