First 60 days, we uploaded Loan application and many documents. Locked in rate. Didn't hear for 60 days. Kept trying to reach them. Their main phone number - a receptionist who doesn't know anything got unfriendly and just transferred me to a voicemail. Nobody ever called me back. I called direct phone number of the person sssigned to me. Her phone said "this mailbox is full. Goodbye". Could never leave a voicemail on her phone. When I emailed them, there was hardly any responses once I paid them $500 to start the process. I prayed they really processed our refi. Otherwise I lost $500 The last 15 -20 days the person kept emailing us wanting this, that, although many documents we already uploaded in their system. And always hurrying us up.. .. I need this ASAP.. ..need that ASAP.... First she said would close in 2 weeks. Then suddenly on Thursday night emailed me saying wanna close on Saturday morning. Well, I didn't open my email till Friday afternoon and I wanna review the numbers she put together to make sure nothing was wrong. We are not talking small amount when it comes to refi house. I emailed her saying "can we close on Monday?" She said nope .. rate gonna expire. Well, if they didn't drag their feet the first 60 days, rate wouldn't have expired. Until Friday night, I still didn't know where the title office is. We normally go title office to close. It turned out Saturday morning the person from title company called to setup closing time at our house. Even after closing, we still got an email from this mortgage company, asking my Company HR was I still employed ? Then they emailed asking if my house was damaged in Feb winter storm, sent them pictures of our house and signed declaration our house wasn't damaged. They stay true to their quoted numbers but the pain , lack of communications and disorganization make me hesitate to use them again. Only go if you are ok with very little communication

On May 11th, I received written loan terms from Park Place Finance stating that if a luxury…read moreproperty I am investing in appraised at $4.3M or above, the loan terms would not change. They basically begged my broker to allow them to fund the deal. Their own appraiser valued the property at $5.3M -- a full million dollars above that threshold. They still refused to fund. After weeks of responding promptly to every document request, paying out of pocket for appraisal fees, and producing additional photos and video documentation they requested, they reversed course at the eleventh hour with no substantive explanation. Their COO's response essentially said that written terms are not commitments -- they're just "preliminary indications subject to underwriting." That's not what was communicated to me, my broker, or the seller's broker throughout this process. The cost of their reversal was real: appraisal fees I will not be reimbursed for, a seller who had already reduced the price to accommodate their funding structure, and a financing contingency deadline put at serious risk after I deliberately passed on other capital partners based on their written terms and verbal assurances. Luckily I was able to pivot and received "Clear to close" today by a reliable investment partner! Before working with Park Place Finance, I strongly encourage you to check their BBB profile. This pattern -- pre-approvals they can't deliver on, appraisal costs absorbed by the borrower, and last-minute reversals after written commitments -- is not unique to my experience. Multiple other investors have reported the exact same playbook. If you are a real estate investor considering Park Place Finance for a new construction or luxury asset deal --Make sure you have a back up lender in place, get everything in writing, and even then, do not rely on it. Their written commitments apparently don't bind them, but your appraisal fees absolutely do.

I represented the buyer in this transaction and can confirm firsthand everything described in the accompanying review -- and then some. I do not recommend Park Place Finance. This was one of the most disorganized, unreliable lender experiences I have encountered in my career. Beyond the written commitment they ultimately failed to honor, the competency issues were glaring from the start. The comparables they submitted were not even in the correct vicinity of the subject property -- a basic, fundamental requirement in any appraisal-driven lending decision. They disregarded their own appraiser's valuation of $5.3M, which came in a full million dollars above the $4.3M threshold they had put in writing as the condition for unchanged loan terms. None of it added up, and their team was consistently all over the place throughout the process. My client did everything right -- responded to every document request promptly, paid out-of-pocket appraisal fees, produced additional photos and video on demand -- and was still left at the eleventh hour with a reversal and no substantive explanation. Thankfully, we had a backup lender who stepped in and delivered. We received our Clear to Close and were set to June 23,2026. If you are a real estate investor or agent considering Park Place Finance for a luxury or new construction transaction: find another lender. Check their BBB profile. And if you proceed anyway, have a backup in place from day one -- because based on my experience, you will need it

I was really nervous and confused about the whole process to begin with and I was self employed so no bank would touch me even though I had great credit and a down payment ready. I have no idea how I found BBMC, but they were quick, sharp, and took time to answer every question I had. They found me a great loan and a good rate when banks, rocket mortgage, and all those other loan places you see advertised everywhere couldn't do a thing for me. They move fast, but answer every question you have, and for me they found a loan when nobody else could. It's been a year and I'm chilling in my house writing this. Thanks Brad and BBMC!!

Overall, getting a mortgage or refinancing sucks. You have to shop around like you're buying a car…read more In my experience, mortgage lenders are basically used car salesmen disguised as bankers. My wife and I were looking to refinance our mortgage to get rid of PMI. Our realtor recommended HomeVantage. Colin Gregg was our loan agent. Initially they gave us a good rate and it was competitive with one other offer we got from another lender. The fees were higher than other offers, they charged us a full 1% point. However Colin claimed that we could forgo two mortgage payments with HomeVantage - by not paying our mortgage until we closed on the loan with them. Since they claimed they could get it closed before we'd owe another payment. This was a draw for us....until I called our current lender and they claimed we would be charged late fees if we did that. So I ended up paying for that month and we only got one month with no mortgage payment. This ended up being a pretty big point of contention with them. They also attempted to charge us a fee for a lock extension and did not contact me to explain why this was happening until I refused to sign any more documents. At which time they relented and ate the fee they were charging us for the lock extension, which was not our problem or fault. Pretty sleazy to leave us in the dark while just randomly sending us a form adding money to the loan for not my problem. Communication was poor throughout the process. Multiple times I asked for claims that Colin made in writing via email, and this was never provided because he claimed to be "slammed". We got a decent interest rate but overall I would not recommend HomeVantage. You can do better. We got our original loan from UFCU and I would recommend them.

Diane Myers said she would address it in the documents, but didn't even after being provided the correct legal wording. She did not provide the documents beforehand and seemed surprised that I was reading before signing. And we needed to transfer the HOA passwords to the buyer during their closing and these were left on the front desk public area where anyone could pick them up (I had to ask them to put them behind the desk but perhaps with the buyer's closing doc might have been more secure?). And lastly, the HOA transfer required the new buyer to sign 2 copies of a state form (they only had him sign 1). Realtors should choose other Title companies instead, as this was very straight forward and wasn't correct so I can imagine what happens with a complex close.

They will send an "appraiser" out who will inflate your homes value and decide what repairs THEY want done. They also use this "appraiser" as an inspector to judge work done. Shady business practices, at best. We have done all repairs listed on the "Escrow Holdback Agreement" but NOW Shannon is demanding more repairs not listed. Supreme Lending and Shannon are now holding our excess funds (+$8000.00) hostage. Not to mention, the foundation repair company still has not been paid for their services rendered. A full 3 weeks post work. All paperwork signed on our side. $17,000.00+ is owed to this company. We know even "when" we complete their latest demands, we will NEVER see our monies.

Even after you complete any "last minute whimsical, tasks", you will just be thrown more tasks/barriers. They will make/create any reason for them to renege on giving you your money. GUARANTEED! Supreme Lending and Shannon Lasater will lie, rape and pillage your funds, dignity and family to line their own pockets with YOUR money. We have spent the last 120+ days living the pure hell Shannon Lasater & Supreme Lending cast upon us. With no end in sight. We should have followed our instincts.

If there is chance to give 0 stars I would had done that as they don't even deserve 1 star in my opinion. With due respect I would like say please avoid financing with this company as you can definitely find better options if you explore. Here is my negative experience with company. I already locked my rate with wellfargo but still thought of choosing Advisa because my builder Gehan Homes said they will only provide incenteves if we choose Advisa as lender. But the catch is Advisa charges much Higher interest rates than others in the market and also they charged me around 19K as points for matching the rate same as wellsfargo out of which I agreed to pay 10k and remaining Gehan promised to help it. With this agreement I paid around 6k for locking interest for which Advisa said it will add to my closing costs. Now with the same Gehan Builder, with in the same community I had to transfer my home as I have some better options within the same price range. When I spoke to Advisa company they are now saying that I will be losing all my 6k and also rate lock. They really didn't disclose this to me when locking the interest rate other wise I wouldn't had paid 6k to lock the rate. I really feel This company is no way customer friendly and they will always try say one thing and do other things. This company tied up with Gehan and pretends that Gehan is helping us with incentives but this company charges us so much in points and so much in interest and to break even all those incentives. I tried asking them that I will choose Advisa as my mortgage company even for the new home and their secondary is not agreeing to pay or transfer the 6k amount to new home. I did fell in to the trap of Gehan Homes and Advisa company and please do your math before you think you are getting nice incentives. I wish this company improves their business principles by helping customers instead of finding ways to cash the customers. Once again THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE ADVISA.
