My experience with prime lending:…read more 1 they are completely unorganized. We have now done two deals with them In a 8 month period (shame on us for thinking the first time was a fluke), and they somehow have lost all the documents we sent them. Except they didn't lose all of them. Just some of them, but then it is found again. But you should still send it in anyway. 2 A week before closing will be hell; here's real facts of what we experienced. We signed lease for our place to a new renter, movers booked, house packed, we have to leave. Then we get an email saying an income source that was previously ok, is no longer ok and your income no longer qualifies you. Where do we go? What do we do? Do they care? Nope, they just say this is what you have to do to make it happen. 3 when you apply, everything is great and this will be easy! Unfortunately, that changes around two weeks before close. We were told everything was great and on track. Then all of sudden the deal can't move forward until we have a signed lease for our condo we live in currently. They give us TWO weeks to find a quality tenant and sign a lease. How is that reasonable or realistic? 4 you will be have anxiety every time you see their name on your phone or in your inbox. They only communicate bad news. When you see prime lending in your inbox, your heart will sink and butterflies will commence. They are about to change something on you. 5 they will not be honest until you're so far into the process you have no choice but to do what they want you to do. This ties back into #2. This is a predatory lending practice in my opinion. They Pre approve you and tell you everything is fine so you begin to prepare to move. You sell/rent your house, pack, change over utilities, put deposits down on movers, request off work. They know all this stuff is done when they then come in a week or two before close and change the terms and request new items from you. At this point you are literally stuck and can't do anything but bow down to their demands. 6 they will not work with a sense of urgency. As closing date approaches, they will continue to ask you for more and more items. When you need answers to those items, they will take days to respond with a true lack of tack around the urgency of the situation. We didn't know if we could close until the literal morning of close. The night before they said we were still in limbo. 7 they believe they are doing you a favor. They don't operate as if they work for you, they operate as though you are lucky if they even respond to your inquiries or answer your questions. Their actions display they don't care or believe they have customers, they are above all and you should bow down to them. This ties back into getting you so far along in the process that you are stuck and have nothing to do but bow down to their demands. 8 if you leave a honest review, Chad will call you and argue with you about it to get you to take it down.

I've bought and sold houses and refinanced them, several times in my life…read more We just completed getting our VA-loan-backed, manufactured "double-wide" home, here in Oregon, refinanced. Fortunately, we picked LeaderOne (their regional office in Eastern Washington state) to help us out. WHAT a professional group of people they turned out to be! We picked them initially because very few of the pitches previously mailed to us to refinance our home, actually DO work with manufactured homes (ours is on a private, deeded lot, not in a park). Leader One are clearly expert at working with both such homes and with VA loans. From their initial proposal letter to the very last steps of our refinance, every "i" was dotted, every "t" crossed, with EXCELLENT communications throughout and very high professionalism. They (and we) turned around every document in record time. Item: my husband had recently changed his long-despised first and middle names (via state court order). Some of his ID and financial material was still in his old name, some already changed over. The LeaderOne staff (again, Washington state), listened well and handled extra paperwork to do everything right. The whole process (in our case, in part because we know how to provide OUR paperwork correctly, too ) took just over five weeks. That is FAST. Our closing took place in our dining room with a terrific "mobile notary" picked by LeaderOne, on the day originally promised. The EFT of our additional cash back (due to two years of working on our home and thus earning a much higher appraisal than originally), came just a few days after the closing. And, shortly after THAT, we got a bundle of paperwork in the mail with all documents (including our revised home deed, and a long-missing copy of our home's HUD compliance certificate) 100-percent correctly filled out, INCLUDING my husband's new (changed) name on everything. Our situation provided many "opportunities" for screw-ups, but none whatsoever happened. Everyone we talked with there was cordial, helpful and often, even fun. Wow. So: a very smart company filled with industrious pros who know what they're doing. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Jody, Randy et.al. for a job superbly (and very pleasantly) done.

There was one other who offered a slight lower interest rate however that person gave me the sense of a fast talking car salesman. Personally, I would gladly pay a bit more to work with someone I feel is more trustworthy. I'm so glad I went with Kip and Leader One. Kip took the time to answer all my questions and explain each part of the process in a way I could understand. I am very happy with the entire process and outcome of my mortgage. I will definitely seek out Kip for my next home purchase. Highly recommended.

He assisted me / walked me through all of the necessary steps to re-finance my property in Virginia. Though he is located in Missouri, he is licensed to do business in many states. Transitioning from an FHA to a Conventional loan took a lot of work and without his help, I may have given up. He followed through with everything he said he would and always returned my calls and texts quickly. He managed to smooth out any hiccups along the way (as are to be expected in many re-fi's and mine was an especially complicated one). Honestly, if I could rate higher than 5 stars for both Dalton as well as A1 Mortgage Group, I would! If you are looking to refinance your property, Dalton is your guy! CALL him and you will get straight answers. He is down-to-earth, genuine, friendly, extremely knowledgeable as well as patient throughout the entire process beginning to CTC.
