Was a 5, until they sold my loan. Mortgage Network was wonderful and made everything smooth and…read moreeasy. The closing was a breeze. But now this. They sold it to a 1 star, shady loan servicer with terrifyingly horrible reviews, no accreditation at all, not even the Better Business Bureau. I had no idea this was even possible, and now I am stuck with a loan through a company that will likely harass me, mess up my escrow and mess up my payments. I would go to a bank directly next time. This has really disturbed me.

Deborah Lynn Bodnar was AWESOME. I frequently have heard horror stories about the home buying…read moreprocess, BUT Deb made everything so easy for us. Zero stress. We went into this process as first time home buyers and didn't really know what to expect. Deb walked us through everything and answered any and all questions we had extremely fast - not once did we feel nervous or confused. She asked for the necessary paperwork and did the rest. She honestly made us feel like VIPs. Everything was done quickly and accurately which ultimately led us to the home of our dreams. I cannot say enough good things about Deb, and I will be recommending her to anyone I know that is looking to buy a house.

Chris and his team hands down, one of the best well organized and professional mortgage brokers I…read morehave ever dealt with, I have purchased many homes and never had such great experiences like this. When searching for a mortgage broker, here are the two things I looked for, competitive rates and customer service, broker who doesn't lie to get your business and after they don't follow through with their promises. Miller Mortgage gave me both things, here's the reasons why I am such a satisfied customer. Beside getting the best rates, I also got top notch customer service. Throughout the whole process and on many occasions, I would text Chris at 9pm and 5am off hours to ask him some questions and I didn't expect a replied back, but no Chris did replied back and kept on assuring me that everything will be fine. I also asked to see if it's possible to close two weeks earlier than the original close date and with lots of going back and forth, we were able to close on the date we wanted. I highly recommend Miller mortgage to anyone looking for a loan, whether you are a 1st time buyer or not, you will get exceptional services from his team. Thanks again Soakie and Chris for all your hard work, we are so happy that were able to move into our new home before the holidays!!!

Awful. Our mortgage papers were full of errors. Our contact (David Bolton) lied about the time…read moreframe he would accomplish the mortgage in. He often hit reply, rather than "reply all" making communication and keeping everyone in the loop difficult, and adding delays. Delayed our tight deadline by starting to drafting a 7 year ARM for us (that we never asked for. We wanted a 30 year). Often would take days to respond. "Overnighted" us packages that took four days to get there. Lied about what time he got documents. Cost us an 1/8th of a percentage point because of delays and speed bumps in communications, and nearly cost us our deposit because of dishonestly relating the time frame he needed to get things together. Was generally a stressful situation. Would not use again. Got locked into using them by our real estate agent (another story of its own). Would not deal with again.

Rich was a great agent as he helped us buy our first house! He helped us navigate the process from…read morestart to finish. He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

My partner and I are first time home buyers and our experience with Robbie Reutzel was great. We…read moreworked with him from November 2020 to June 2021. We got an offer accepted in April and closed in June. Rob was a very responsive and punctual agent. Scheduling open houses and private showings with Rob was very smooth, sometimes we went to a few properties in one day. Rob's feedback to properties were very honest and as first time home buyer's we would have missed those aspect if he had not mentioned it. There was a property with a major tilt and Rob pointed it out...it was making us dizzy. It was great having Rob to help answer our questions about the roof, the heater, water boiler, septic tank age and so much more. He would also provide comps of similar properties that sold recently in the area. Overall, we had a great experience with Robbie and would highly recommend him.

I want to write this review because I want to express how happy I am to have had Kim as part of my…read moreteam. As I began my journey to purchase a home, I found myself wasting time with different well-known banks. You name them and I probably called them. I found myself repeating my needs every time I talked to one of these banks and I felt there was never any real interest to help. I spent a good three months of my time having my questions answered, calling and leaving voicemails, and never getting calls back. I was referred to Kim from a third party and from the beginning, I could feel it was going to be different. From the first call, I let Kim know what I was looking to do and what I was going through with the other lenders. Kim understood and asked all the right questions. Throughout the whole process, Kim asked for what she needed and explained every step in detail. If you need referrals for home inspectors, lawyers or real estate agents, she has them. There are many qualities that made Kim stand out from the rest. When I emailed her she always responded promptly. When I called, she was always ready to answer any questions I had and if I needed to text, she would always text back. Whenever I looked at a potential property, Kim had no issues running numbers for me to see what the payments looked like. She was courteous, prompt, and you can tell that she loves what she does. Even at the last minute when some changes were done because of and adjustment I requested, Kim worked her magic and got me what I wanted by my closing date. I feel blessed that Kim was part of my team and highly recommend her. If you are serious and ready to purchase a home, you need to work with someone that will get you through the loan process and will guide you every step of the way. This is what Kim does and she does it well. I give her 5 stars and will ensure that I work with her on my next home purchase. If you don't want to waste any time, especially with the banks, Kim is the only person you need to work with. Believe me, you will be extremely happy that you did.

From the owner: The most important rule I've followed in my 16 years as a mortgage loan originator is this: My…read moreclients always come first. After many repeat clients and referrals, that's something I'll never change. Here's another one: Hard work makes a difference. When you come to me for your home loan, I start by listening to your goals and plans, and then I go to work to find the loan options that best suit your needs. My commitment to working with you carries on throughout your home loan, from prequalification to closing, and beyond. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or seasoned buyer, or you are considering a refinance, you can trust me with your home financing needs.

I went through the initial application for a mortgage refinance with New Fed. They claimed a…read morecertain rate with a no fee closing. Reviewing the documents they wanted me to sign, the paperwork presents a $500 application fee, that if closed they waive. The paperwork also states that the rate is NOT locked. This means they could change the rate at any time and you would be locked into their fee without a good rate. I talked with the loan officer on the phone. She tried to claim the rate would lock right after signing. I asked for a contract or paperwork to reflect that, she would not provide it. Looking at the BBB and yelp reviews for this company, and their prior name, commonwealth mortgage, suggests that many people had their rate change after they signed the paperwork, meanwhile fees were not refunded. This company might claim good rates, but looking at the details buyer beware, they don't put their paperwork behind their marketing claims.
