This business can really pull things together in a pinch and provide personalized service where I…read moredon't think larger chain banks and lenders would be able to. I have been a Colonial customer for years due in no small part to the fact that they service their own mortgages so your loan won't be sold around in investment packages constantly with you not knowing who owns the note to your home from year to year. They have been consistent with my escrow account to where adjustments were not needed as well. My main reason for this review though is that we just closed on buying a new home and used Colonial again. Things were getting shaky as to whether we were going to close on our home on time and we felt like our home deal might fall through if our closing got delayed. I contacted the company vice president John Farrell and things started flying faster than could ever have been expected by my wife and I. After a few whirlwind days we ended up closing on time and are very excited to be moving into our dream home. I don't think that if we were doing business with one of the "Too Big to Fail" banks that we could have received this kind of assistance and we would definitely recommend going with Colonial for anyone's mortgage needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Pat Hartis - my loan officer at Colonial Mortgage. Although…read moreI live in Austin, I called the main # and was lucky enough to be connected to Pat. I had been in process of refinancing my house with another lender, but it wasn't working out as expected and taking too long, so I cancelled that loan. I was a Colonial customer - had my current mortgage with them, but my earlier experience with the loan officer assigned to me in an Austin office left a lot to be desired. I'm glad I took a chance and called the main # in Fort Worth. Pat took all the info over the phone, locked in my rate that day, had the papers sent to my home that week. She set up the closing at the nearest Colonial location to my office, where Susan Mills (the title agent) did a great job of completing all the paperwork with me over my lunch hour. The entire process, from the first phone call to the closing, took 24 days. Everything went so smoothly, and I attribute that to Pat's expertise and knowledge. I have been through several home mortgages and refinances with other properties in the past, and this was the absolute best experience I have had to date. No matter where you live in Texas, if you need a loan officer, I would recommend giving Pat a call - you can find her phone # on the Colonial Mortgage website. All loan officers are not "created equal" - Pat is exceptional!!!

I worked directly with Mark Raskin as a first-time homebuyer, and unfortunately my experience was…read morevery disappointing. The most frustrating part was not my credit score itself, but the lack of proactive guidance. Before my mortgage application, I believed my credit score was much higher than it actually was. Once my credit was pulled, it became clear that there was a significant gap between my expectations and reality. However, I was never proactively informed about the situation, its impact on my mortgage options, or potential remedies that might have been available. I later learned about rapid rescore through my own research rather than from my lender. Given my credit profile, this was something I believe should at least have been discussed. Instead, I remained unaware of important information that could have affected my decisions during a very time-sensitive period. When I later reached out with questions, I did not feel supported or educated as a first-time borrower. Conversations often felt rushed and dismissive, and I was repeatedly told that I could simply refinance later. While refinancing may be an option in the future, it is not free, effortless, or a substitute for helping borrowers understand all available options before closing. As a first-time homebuyer, I expected more proactive communication, guidance, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.

It wasn't a fast process, not sure why, we did sit for 45 minutes as it appeared the lady was doing our paperwork as well as close of day paperwork. I'd expected this process to be maybe 20 minutes, not almost an hour. Location is easy to access, fairly new, it's by NAS Fort Worth, lots of military around there. The service we received was decent, but slowed. The cost of the transfer was $5 more than our other banks, but they were the only ones that could do it after 4 pm.
