We used MBA when we were getting our first mortgage. Everything about buying our first home was…read morenew, confusing, and intimidating. Mike and his team at MBA were so patient and helpful and guided us seamlessly through the whole process. They were available at all hours to answer questions, help with offers, and explain what we needed to know.

As a former licensed mortgage broker, it's been my experience that many mortgage BROKERS guide…read morepeople toward those programs which pay them the highest commission. (Not all, but many do.) So, in addition to the cost savings of cutting out the "middle man," we were looking to work directly with a lender who could offer us various loan options/programs. Though we thought we were going to go FHA, our county is USDA eligible and conventional was also a possibility -- we wanted someone who has all those options available, along with the experience to advise us as to which would be most advantageous for our circumstances. And we wanted that person/company to advise us based on our needs and not be motivated by what loan type would pay them best. MBA Mortgage Services turned out to be that company. As a mortgage LENDER, they offer all of the low-rate government loans, several "no money down" options, and various conventional loan programs, plus they're approved to offer several grant programs. We submitted our loan app, got pre-qualified in November, and started shopping! The housing market is such that home prices are high, and most sellers aren't offering closing cost concessions (which we needed). We were running our offers past MBA Mortgage for their expertise in evaluating those offers against the current market and our ability to get qualified. We asked to be pre-qualified for USDA. We asked about grant programs. We kept asking questions as new circumstances presented. :) And we did that for almost three months. Not once did we feel we were "bothering" the MBA Mortgage team or asking for too much. They met every question with a smile and thoughtful answer backed by facts. In February, we had an accepted offer! The contract called for an April 13 closing. We asked to close March 30, and MBA Mortgage prepared to accommodate us (and was ready to close that date). Mostly, everything went well. But for those things which didn't go so well -- there were a handful -- MBA Mortgage stepped up to help us resolve. Then a big issue came up. It was relative to erroneous information the listing agent provided about the home and made us ineligible according to an FHA guideline that neither the listing agent and our Realtor had knowledge of. Had MBA Mortgage not been experienced and knowledgeable, caught it timely, and had the expertise to resolve it (quickly, considering what the issue was), we would've lost this house. Instead of losing the deal, we still met the provisions of the contract and closed on April 12. :) MBA Mortgage came together with all parties, went above and beyond the typical expectations of a mortgage lender, and did it all with a smile. Don't let the fact that they may not have a physical presence in your state deter you -- we're in Florida, and we're happy we chose MBA. We'll definitely go to them again with future mortgage needs and are recommending them with confidence!

So... This review is not only to share my experience but mainly to ensure that ICG is not his "big…read morebad wolf " of lenders looking to "scam" people as some other reviews have indicated . I am trying to reach those currently, in the market or planning a future home purchase or refinance... And everyone who personally knows me can vouch that I don't do this often... After months of searching for lenders or companies ( both online and referred to me- since I myself am in the business of loan transactions , working at a settlement company) I just recently closed my loan and refinanced with Intercontinental Group ( ICG Bank), with the most AMAZING Executive Mortgage Banker, Taylor Leonard. From the beginning, Taylor knew how hesitant I was . I had already gone through the "shopping process", prior to contacting him and I had learned from my mistakes when I was working with HUGE companies like Quicken, or MTB and I could probably name a few others . He quickly showed that he understood my needs and worked with me LITERALLY every step of the way, to ensure that I was getting the BEST POSSIBLE RATE AND SCENARIO, as possible. It was only a few days before my original closing date, when he contacted me, excited that due to a rate drop within the market, my interest rate became LOWER than originally expected ( which had always originally been lower than what any other lender had offered me in the past) ... Needless to say, I was beyond excited. All said and done , NONE of the reviews on ICG Bank and bogus negative remarks turned out to be true. ICG and especially Taylor ensured me a smooth and efficient transaction and that is EXACTLY what I got. People always have this suspicion when it comes to lenders who look "iffy" or have clients who may have just gone through one minor difficulty and decide to bad mouth or ruin the reputation of the company entirely. I am living proof that this company went above and beyond and resulted in an FHA refinance that included TWO separate refunds ( one from my current mortgage company's escrow balance and one from the UFMIP FHA requires , which I had paid at settlement during my homes purchase transaction) totaling almost $5000 AND ( I kid you not) ... literally brought my interest rate down ( without any points ) resulting in saving almost $300 I am now saving in my monthly mortgage payments! PLUS THE BEST PART? I literally had ZERO to pay in closing costs! The lender gave me a $3200 credit and that basically covered all of the costs associated with any settlement company. When it came down to signing the papers, they did what was most convenient for ME and sent a certified notary TO MY HOUSE at 8:00 pm, so that I wouldn't have to inconvenience myself or my son. I am beyond grateful and so very happy to say, if you are in the market and looking for a bank or lender to use ... Please please look no further. You can contact them directly by visiting : https://intercontinentalcapital.com or you can reach out to Taylor directly. My monthly mortgage payment is now hundreds of dollars less, I have extra money in my account from my refunds and they didn't add anything to my loan. It sounds too good to be true but this is literally what happens when you find someone who has dedicated their lives to what they do and genuinely look out for their clients best interest . So thank your Taylor Leonard, for actually following through with your promises and helping me to feel like I was in great hands the entire way through. It really meant a lot , including the main fact that I can now afford to stay in my 1st house with my son, without having to worry about how I am going to pay my previously RIDICULOUS monthly payment. You are TRUELY Amazing at what you do and I hope ICG knows what a SUPERSTAR they have on their team.
