As…read morefirst-time homebuyers relocating from out of state, they made what could have been an overwhelming process feel clear from the very beginning. Ben even spent two hours with us on a Saturday walking through the pre-approval steps and answering all of our questions, which immediately put us at ease. When our timeline unexpectedly shifted after finding our dream home much sooner than planned, Ben and his team moved quickly to get us pre-approved so we could submit a strong offer. Their responsiveness and ability to act fast made a huge difference in the competitive Bucks County market. Throughout the loan approval process, the team made everything incredibly easy to understand. We always knew exactly what we needed to submit or sign, where we were in the process, and what deadlines were coming up. They took the time to explain the rates process--which can be confusing--so we always felt informed. Most importantly, we truly felt they had our best interests at heart and genuinely enjoy helping families buy their homes. We can't recommend MortgageCS enough!

From…read morestart to finish, they were attentive, responsive at every turn, and endlessly patient, always taking the time to explain each step and ensure we fully understood the process. As first-time homebuyers, we went into this experience with some anxiety, but Ben, Alex, and Christine went above and beyond to ease our concerns and guide us with confidence. Their support ultimately helped us purchase our dream home. We were consistently impressed by their availability and responsiveness, especially during moments that required the utmost urgency. They made themselves available at any time, including evenings and weekends, which made an enormous difference. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned pro, we cannot recommend this team highly enough.

I was selling and buying on the same day, which is extremely stressful.

First National B & T has been around since Billy Penn sat at the corner of State Street and Centre…read moreAvenue and drew a box on his map and said that was the perfect place for a financial institution. Well, maybe not quite that long, but its history fades into the distant past. Now, it sits across from Starbucks and Gap Body, and cattycorner from the Black Horse Tavern in the middle of the Borough. While the neighborhood has certainly changed, the driving force of FNB&T has not. It remain dedicated to the prospering of those around it. What is most significant is that it takes its role as an anchor of the community seriously. They take good care of your money, and make a real effort to remain involved in the lifeblood commerce of Newtown. In this regard it does a great job. They make their operations training room available to community groups for meetings, and even offer their executives for places on the boards of directors of the many non-profits around town. When PennDot came to town attempting to "preserve" the Centre Ave. Bridge by basically destroying it, the Bank stood up with its neighbors and said, "Nay!" It threw its considerable influence around the right places, and the Commonwealth backed off. First National is a part of our community in every sense of the word. It is not for nothing that it is called a Trust company. It certainly has earned ours.

Our designated banker took care of us promptly and even realized he had a way to save us a fee for what we wanted to do without being asked. That is smart service that keeps loyalty foremost in mind. Although a national bank, PNC has a neighborhood feel to it. Our other financial shops for both business and personal needs often fall short of such consideration. Glad to work with one able to show that it cares about us.

People aside, the infrastructure here is infuriatingly bad. During my last 3 visits, the drive thru ATM has been out of service. Today, because of this, I had to run in through the heavy rain with 3 kids to make a deposit. Needless to say, I was not pleased nor were my kids. While inside, I noticed that they installed a new ATM. In the past, the lobby ATM (made by Diebold) was quick and easy like in any bank. But they've replaced that perfectly fine one with some generic, Chinese made, multifunction kiosk and it is which is UTTERLY HORRENDOUS. It's slow, it's glitchy, it gives me blank white screens for minutes on end, the screen freezes when it's processing a deposit or about to dispense cash and it makes an annoying "ding" sound reminiscent of a Windows 98 error notification every time I touch the screen. I left thinking I need a new bank. There's no way I'm using this thing again. Hopefully they'll permanently fix their drive thru ATM and correct or replace the lobby one. If not, I'm really going to miss seeing the friendly tellers here.

She wouldn't advise the seller of things he was legally required to do throughout the process. She advised the seller he was able to take and sell pool chemicals and cleaning equipment even though they were specifically written in the sales agreement to leave, and they were not listed even mentioned in the Sellers Disclosure as things he wanted to take. She had us sign an addendum with the seller allowing us to move our property in a couple days before settlement, to make it easier with the sale of our house, and then the owner would not give us a key. She did not seem to want to advise the seller anything he was required to do, and when my realtor showed her, in writing, the legal documents, she seemed to think things were still optional. The things she advised the seller he was able to do cost us thousands of dollars to replace and repair. I emailed BHHS Fox & Roach, through their website and never received a response or a call back. This was just an overall horrible experience, and I'm amazed a company this large is able to get away with this kind of unprofessionalism.

Beware of Funding America Mortgage and Dana Shelly!…read more My experience with Funding America Mortgage, particularly with Dana Shelly, has been nothing short of a nightmare. From start to finish, the entire process was plagued with issues that left me questioning the professionalism and integrity of both the company and its representatives. Timelines Not Met: One of the most frustrating aspects was the constant failure to meet agreed-upon timelines. What was initially promised as a swift and efficient process turned into an endless series of delays. Key deadlines were missed repeatedly without any prior notification or valid explanation, which led to unnecessary stress and complications on my end. Calls Not Returned: Communication, or rather the lack thereof, was another major issue. Despite numerous attempts to reach Dana Shelly and other representatives, my calls were often ignored or returned days later, if at all. This lack of responsiveness created a significant communication gap, leaving me in the dark and frustrated at every turn. Details and Communications Overlooked: It's clear that attention to detail is not a priority at Funding America Mortgage. Important details were frequently omitted or glossed over during conversations, leading to misunderstandings and errors that could have been easily avoided with proper communication. The absence of clear, accurate information was not only unprofessional but also indicative of a broader issue within the company. At one point I was supposed to close with Rocket Mortgage and then Dana decides to wait three days and not tell me that she got a better rate with someone else. Overall Experience: In summary, my experience with Funding America Mortgage and Dana Shelly was deeply disappointing. The unfulfilled promises, poor communication, and lack of attention to crucial details rendered the entire process more cumbersome than it needed to be. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice and seek out more reliable, professional alternatives. Save yourself the frustration and potential headaches--look elsewhere.

DO NOT refinance with these people! They promise you a fantastic rate, but nobody who works there…read moreknows what they are doing, so by the time they figure it out, they can no longer get you the rate promised. Of course, you find this out only after you have shelled out the money for a home appraisal, which becomes worthless once the deal falls through. Working with these people was a huge headache, and a waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and go straight to a BANK - these mortgage brokers have to make a living somehow, and often their pay comes out of your pocket. Cut out the middle man...go to the bank, which is what I ended up doing in the end. I don't even think the people at INtegrated Financial know what day it is! When I expressed my dissatisfaction with their ineptitude, their excuse was that "nobody knows what's going on right now." How comforting.
