10/4/2023 - TERRIBLE DEAL! I was trying to consolidate some debt and lower my monthly payments to…read moreincrease disposable income. I knew I was going to have to pay a little bit of a fee or higher interest for doing this, but it was just something I really needed. I talked with one of their reps (who was very nice and reassuring the entire time) we went over all of the financials over the phone, did all the math, added everything up, he gave me "final" figures and everything looked great. I was going to pay more in interest, but my monthly payments would come down drastically. Nothing was ever mentioned about the INCREDIBLY HIGH closing costs of this deal... I get the DocuSign/paperwork the next day.. The total debt we were looking at was $183,000. I was surprised to see over $16,000 in added costs for "closing" That's an 8.74% closing! The national average is 2%-6%. This place is predatory... Even if you are desperate, do NOT go with them, shop around, there are better deals out there. And some places even have -0- closing costs if you qualify! This place knows they have absurd costs, so they don't even mention it and hope that you don't notice or do the math on it.

Don't look any further - First Ohio Home Finance is an amazing company! We just closed on our home…read more3 weeks ago and our experience with them was above and beyond what we expected...... We were in the process of looking at existing homes and even considering building a custom home. We were already pre-approved with a local lender, but just weren't happy with the options he was recommending to us. I went out to lending tree and submitted a request for proposals. Initially, our phone/emails were flooded with messages from probably 15 different lenders. However, First Ohio's response to me was very different and seemed so genuine. Calling them was the best decision we made throughout this process. Kemp Taylor was our mortgage banker and we were so impressed with his knowledge and responsiveness right from the start. Kemp gave us a variety of options that our prior lender never bothered to explore. He was so knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. He made us feel like we were his #1 priority, always responded to calls and emails promptly, and even worked on our loan after hours (and made himself available to us after hours). I'm sure the new regulations make this process even more painstaking, but we would have never known it. Kemp was so calm and made everything so simple. We never had to worry or wonder where we were in the process. Even at our closing, my realtor commented on how great Kemp was. Hands down, this was the BEST home buying experience for us (this is our 3rd home). I will not hesitate to call Kemp in the future and have recommended him to friends and family. Don't waste your time with another company!!

We were buying directly from a seller in another state and she wanted to close in less than a month. First Ohio made miracles happen!

Craig Loose helped make our dream of becoming Buckeyes a reality in 2019 with our home purchase…read more Then In 2021 he remembered that one of our financial goals was to eliminate PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) from our 30 year conventional loan. Craig reached out to me and shared that the home values in our area had increased and that now would be a great time to refinance to eliminate the PMI. He found us a great rate and handled all of our paperwork like the pro he is. The process was a breeze and his communication was always easy and super fast. If you are on the fence about refinancing, it's time to get off it and make it happen. Working with Craig, you won't regret it!

I am also so grateful to Hunter Ambos for helping us keep all of our documents straight and to Allen Johnson for checking in on us throughout the process.

NEVER GET A LOAN THROUGH HUNTINGTON PLEASE! Especially if it's Kirk Ruddle!…read more I applied for a loan after telling them that I worked in the cannabis industry, telling them that I've been working in the industry for 3 years. He gave me a pre-approval and It took him until the day of our inspection before he informed us that he couldn't work with us because of where I worked. Keep in mind that I already told him where I worked and that we were applying for a Conventional loan and not an FHA for this exact reason. Then when I asked him "Why are you only telling me this now?" His only response was "I just didn't notice". It's a level of incompetence that was not just shocking, but Infuriating. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

If only you could rate zero stars…read more.. Multiple emails and a few letters sent to CEO are below, at least a dozen prior that went unanswered. NOT the way to run your business. Mr Leonhardt, Absolutely the most unreasonable, non communicative, complicated, ridiculous mortgage servicing I've ever experienced. The CCM website is overly complicated, unhelpful, and clearly must overwhelm 99% of your borrowers, Our experience over the last few months has made us so frustrated that we determined it would be easier and less painful to pay off the loan and no longer have anything to do with Cross country Mortgage. Unfortunately this is something that I have seen on the Internet by many borrowers who are completely frustrated with the largest, and clearly the worst mortgage servicer in the country. I hope you will take this as constructive criticism so that you can look deep into your company policy's, and just as importantly, your people. I've received an automated call for me to call CCM back, that was Saturday, I called back to find offices closed on Saturday, really? Mr Leonhardt, seriously? Would you please have a human being call me? I am a customer, not a number I'd expect that a professional company having received so many communication attempts would put forth some effort to reach out and discuss Mr. Leonhardt, I've been emailing and sending messages via your website CCM for several months now, I'm shocked that I've not heard one word of response, I'm sure you have records of any incoming messages on your website, of which I've sent no less than 4, please have someone check, also your "help" email also goes unanswered, I believe I've sent 5 or 6 to that CCM address. I'm a client, and quite frankly I'm insulted by the failure of your subordinates to communicate back to a customer communication. I hope you will have the courtesy of insuring I'm responded to since I've had to resort to imposing on your linkedin page, as well as your work email(s) Respectfully,
