I'm not really sure I understand the negative reviews here as my experience with both Advisa and…read moreGehan was spectacular, especially considering I had numerous, unique aspects about my situation and credit history which I will briefly divulge. Firstly, Michelle Wilkins was who I worked with and she was very prompt in responding to my calls, emails and answering any questions or concerns I had in dealing with the circumstances below: - I was doing an FHA mortgage (i.e. NOT conventional) - I was being gifted money from a family member for down-payment / deposit - Home was being purchased together by two, unmarried, individuals - I had a past foreclosure in my credit history and had since re-built my credit - I had changed addresses twice within the past 3 years - I was moving to Austin, TX for my job AND buying this home as a result of the move - I have a constant revolving credit card balance as a result of weekly business travel (airfare, hotel, etc.) for my job and a lag in reimbursement of travel expenses. - Since I travel for my job (consulting), I claim income in multiple states - I was sub-leasing my prior residence in Chicago. - I needed to buy a car DURING my pre-approval period....yes, you read that correctly. The period during which you aren't supposed to do ANYTHING to change your credit, Michelle helped me navigate the process to make sure I documented everything to satisfy the underwriter's concerns and was able to get the car. YES - it was tedious and cumbersome to have to provide a LOT of documentation to the underwriters YES - some of the documentation seemed redundant, repetitive and unnecessary at times YES - I followed up with Michelle very regularly (probably annoyed her) asking where we were in the process, if the application was moving forward, are there any complications I should be aware of, is any additional documentation needed, is it ok to buy a pack of bubble gum using my credit card?, etc. I just closed this past weekend. I was given "clear to close" 5 days beforehand. I had the HUD-1 settlement statement delivered to me 48 hours before closing. There were no surprises at the closing table and my loan was funded BEFORE I left the Title Company's office. (TRUE STORY!) Seriously - look at how many nuances I listed above in my loan and I had NO issues - but I also took responsibility to make sure I didn't have any issues. As an adult taking on the responsibility of a significant debt, I think making that effort is not only reasonable, it's expected. Anyone buying a home post-2007/8 should realize that underwriters are VERY particular in approving mortgages, especially on new construction. It would be naive of anyone to think they can get a mortgage with minimal effort on their part. That said, when there was a potential issue, complication, or uncertainty, Michelle was fantastic about following up with me and getting the right answer. Thank you Michelle / Advisa for being a wonderful partner throughout this process!

Advisa Mortgage is THE WORST Mortgage company I have ever seen in my life and I am sure lot of…read moreothers feel the same. If there is chance to give 0 stars I would had done that as they don't even deserve 1 star in my opinion. With due respect I would like say please avoid financing with this company as you can definitely find better options if you explore. Here is my negative experience with company. I already locked my rate with wellfargo but still thought of choosing Advisa because my builder Gehan Homes said they will only provide incenteves if we choose Advisa as lender. But the catch is Advisa charges much Higher interest rates than others in the market and also they charged me around 19K as points for matching the rate same as wellsfargo out of which I agreed to pay 10k and remaining Gehan promised to help it. With this agreement I paid around 6k for locking interest for which Advisa said it will add to my closing costs. Now with the same Gehan Builder, with in the same community I had to transfer my home as I have some better options within the same price range. When I spoke to Advisa company they are now saying that I will be losing all my 6k and also rate lock. They really didn't disclose this to me when locking the interest rate other wise I wouldn't had paid 6k to lock the rate. I really feel This company is no way customer friendly and they will always try say one thing and do other things. This company tied up with Gehan and pretends that Gehan is helping us with incentives but this company charges us so much in points and so much in interest and to break even all those incentives. I tried asking them that I will choose Advisa as my mortgage company even for the new home and their secondary is not agreeing to pay or transfer the 6k amount to new home. I did fell in to the trap of Gehan Homes and Advisa company and please do your math before you think you are getting nice incentives. I wish this company improves their business principles by helping customers instead of finding ways to cash the customers. Once again THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE ADVISA.

They also nickle and dime the f**k out of everything. They leased homes that are dirty upon moving in. Also, their contracts are written so that if you leave the property before the end of your lease, EVEN though you continued to pay rent, they will still charge you a "re-letting fee" of one months rent. There was never any re-letting and those scum bags greedily kept my deposit anys, my very high deposit. I would highly highly highly encourage you to take your business elsewhere as these stupid c**ts run a shady operation.

I contacted Austin Advantage Realtor, Mr. Gary Hoffarth, after trying, unsuccessfully by myself, to…read morefind a tenant for our rental house in north Austin. I picked Mr. Hoffarth because he was listed as the agent on a house for lease near ours in the Millwood area. I couldn't be more pleased with the service Mr. Hoffarth provided. Gary was Johnny-on-the-spot in returning my calls. He handled everything with courtesy and professionalism. He had contacts to come in for cleaning, and he had helpful suggestions about small and inexpensive changes that made the house more attractive to prospective tenants. In no time after my initial call to him, Mr. Hoffarth had a sign in the yard and a listing for our house on the Multiple Listing Service so that other realtors could show the property. And within days, even though it was mid-November and a slow time for rentals, Mr. Hoffarth had some fully qualified tenants ready to move in. My wife and I live in San Antonio. Mr. Hoffarth's office had the capacity to e-mail contracts and have them e-signed via the Internet. This saved me several trips up to Austin and expedited the transactions greatly. Because things moved along so quickly and it wasn't necessary for me to make the trip, I've never met Mr. Hoffarth face-to-face, but, if I had the opportunity, I'd certainly offer him my deepest appreciation for his very professional services.

I cannot thank Lynn enough for her amazing help buying a house in Austin! We just recently moved…read moreinto our home in Austin and could not be happier with the experience of buying our first home. Lynn went above and beyond to help us and we happily recommend her! We visited Austin in 2014 and Lynn showed us a ton of properties in the couple days we were here that were all stunning, had everything we asked for, AND in budget! We were unsure about relocating from CA at the time and told her we needed time to think.... 3 years later we contacted her that we were ready and just like that she sent us beautiful homes to consider based on listening to us while looking at homes in 2014!!! With Lynn's help we were able to find the perfect home with only 1 trip to Austin. She accommodated our schedule to show us houses during a short trip and complete all our needed paperwork before hopping on a plane. She explained every step of the way and made buying a house remotely so easy. We were even able to still take our month long RV trip across the US!! We had a notary arrive at our campground in Arkansas for final documents to be signed, Lynn set up a video conference of our final walk through (she didn't miss a thing!!!!) and kept our keys until they could be hand delivered upon our arrival. Our welcome kit with toilet paper, soap and a wonderful note were just icing on the cake! We are so happy with our new home -THANK YOU LYNN!

She showed us a wide variety of homes ranging from condos to duplexes to single family residences.

We took her recommendation for a home inspector, a lender, an escrow company, and a landscaper, all of whom were top notch. From the beginning to the end of the process and to this day, Lynn feels like an extended member of the family. 5 stars+!

Susie Kang is specifically the person I dealt with and I can say without a doubt this woman is the biggest CUNT I've ever met! She is cruel, unfair, dishonest and truly fucking evil. She left us without electricity in Austin Texas in July for over 12 days without electricity or air conditioning!! All of this could have been easily solved by having a competent electrician fix the main electrical connection to the city service. Instead she claimed the problem was on the cities side. After 3 attempts to get her to fix it, the city finally came out and shut everything down within 5 minutes because it was a massive fire danger, and informed us they could not legally resume service until we fixed our connections. Several days later she finally had the connections repaired, then several days after that the city inspected the work and reconnected service. We were in the dark and Texas heat the entire time. The only consolation we asked was prorated rent for the days we had no electricity. Susie flatly refused, then boasted that in 12 years she had never prorated anyones rent for any circumstance then began screaming at me and my 2 roommates in a childish pathetic tirade of broken English! I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A WORSE HUMAN BEING! I'm writing this review 11 years after all this, because the memory of dealing with her still lingers and I want other people to know to steer clear of this woman and her pathetic business dealings. SHAME on you Susie
