Raleigh Mortgage Group single handedly saved our homebuying process, and my biggest regret is not…read morestarting with them. We first connected with Alayna Weaver from Raleigh Mortgage Group during the preapproval process, while we were comparing rates among lenders. We eventually got a rate too good to pass up from a large commercial bank and went with them, thanking RMG for their help. The loan process from this bank ended up being a complete disaster, where problems arose last minute over things we should have been told weeks earlier. With closing coming up, and our trust in the bank fully broken after a week of fruitless back-and-forth, we decided to get our mortgage elsewhere, but it needed to be fast. I reconnected with Alayna, who gave us a sanity check by confirming the bank was being ridiculous, and snapped into action to help us. Within 36 hours, we had a fantastic rate in hand and were set up with a mortgage processor. Each time we ran into a problem, Alayna - who was readily available via text, phone, and email - as well as others at RMG (Hayley Jackson) and the processing team (Corry O'Neill and Kristina Polson) provided alternate choices or simply solved the problem. We closed on time and have our house, and we have them to thank. There are two morals here: 1. Commercial banks won't lift a finger to help you originate a mortgage, so only apply with them if you feel lucky. 2. If you need a mortgage in North Carolina, call Raleigh Mortgage Group.

Mike Alberico was helping me to refinance on my Raleigh home. He was able to get me a 3.375% rate…read moredown from 6.25% :-)) with less then 4 weeks. He and his assistance Kelly Gardner were prompt and professional to get me through the whole process smoothly. I would come back to RMG again and again in the future for my real estate mortgage needs. I would strongly strongly recommend Raleigh Mortgage Group to everyone out there who wants a low interest rate mortgage or a refinance on your existing home. Happy New Year ! Tam Tran

Tamara (Tee) and the rest of the Academy team took care of us every step of the way. Everything was organized and communication was good. Overall, the loan process was simplified and went smoothly. We really appreciated the individualized attention we received especially after getting burned by a big bank who negated on their responsibility to help us apply for a mortgage. We will most certainly continue to recommend Tee and the rest of the Academy team!

Terrible. I am so regretful of using this lender. Jean and James Hedges are mother and son duo who…read morewere suppose to work with us for our loan but it felt like they were against us. Several things fell through with them- things they said we didn't need done in order to get our loan for our house but little by little as we got closer and closer to our close date things that 'weren't needed' were and we had to keep spending and spending to get our loan that we could have had the sellers do but we were too late to ask. When I insisted they pay or help pay for some of the things they insisted we didn't need done at first- they were RUDE and thought it was a joke to even be asked. We could never get a hold of Jean and her son hardly knew what he was doing and wouldn't do a thing without her consent- which again she could never be reached. Even to the close date she was terrible! She didn't even show up for the close. Our loan was sold by Prime Lending before we even settled in our home and they sold our information to other companies and we get junk mail everyday with the junk mail even stating that they were sold our information by them. It was a terrible and heart breaking mistake to use them. Their business is a sham and the hedges are just out to get your $.

Nina was right there every time an offer was needed to make an offer on a home. The problem arose…read moreonce the offer was accepted and Advantage Lending did the mortgage. They required the mortgage to remain with them until at least 8 months so they could make money. Then they sold the mortgage after the first payment. So didn't they already make their money from the sale of the mortgage? So deceitful not informing people they would sell their mortgage after the first payment. As if banks don't make enough money off hard working people. Pure greed and will eventually lead to another housing crisis. I thought supporting a small business owner would benefit the local economy but if you go with a larger company straight off the bat, the chances of them selling your mortgage several times is less.
