Close but no cigar
I really liked the mortgage broker, he gave me a lot of information and explained everything very thoroughly. I would have gone with Loandepot except that during that first phone call they badgered me at the end to lock in the rate. Said the lock-in rate was $450 but they were willing to split the risk and only charge $250. Eventually I said yes, not realizing exactly what this was but felt pressured not to miss out. I then went to 2 other mortgage lenders and realized that was a mistake. To LoanDepot's credit, after a few emails telling them that I was not happy and not comfortable with the 'lock-in' fee until after I reviewed my 2 other lenders, they agreed to refund it. If I ended up going with LoanDepot, they were going to apply this amount to the Appraisal cost. In the end I went with Tidewater Mortgage, they easily showed me various rates and values on easy to read worksheets, 6 different strategies to be exact. Made it very easy to pick the best one for me.
LendingTree Customer:
Good Experience
Loan Depot has unparalleled customer service. They were knowledgeable and responsive. The refinancing process was well defined and the documentation was presented in a timely manner. Disclosure of fees and closing costs could have been handled better. Late notification when it was obvious that LD knew of a change in closing costs was the only disappointment.
LendingTree Customer:
Best overall
Service rep answered my questions, looked for the best solutions and gave many options that we qualified for. Although we still did not refinance if I am in the market I would go to this company. The fees seemed a little high only due to the type of loan we needed.
Didn't know they are one of the largest lenders.
