While I love the interest rate I received through DNJ Gateway and I appreciate being able to save thousands of dollars over the next several years, I have to say this experience, out of all of them, was the least friendly, least personable and most stressful mortgage experience I've been through. We started with a young lady in early September, and thought we had everything worked out. A few weeks later, the young lady was no longer there and we have a new broker working with us. A couple more weeks go by and I don't hear much of anything. Come to find out the mortgage company had emailed me something and it got lost in cyberspace. To be fair, my email account wasn't accepting some of the .pdf files they were sending. We were closing in on the mortgage rate lock date and didn't know if we'd been underwritten yet... this is a 50 day lock, and we weren't told we had missed a signature line until a week or so before the lock date expired. We closed on the lock rate expiration date - went right to the wire. Unlike other experiences, we never met our broker face to face. Also unlike other experiences, communication was laxed and sparse. After we closed, DNJ sent me an email congratulating me and telling me what a pleasure I was to work with... that was confusing because the interaction was so very sparse I still didn't think they even knew who I was. Yes, DNJ Gateway Mortgage saved me tens of thousands of dollars, but it's not an experience I wish to repeat.

Believe me, I had heard enough radio commercials to know that when it came time to refi, I was…read morebound and determined to experience their so-called no-closing-cost loan. But I knew I needed to be smart and check out other great sounding options. So I did. I offered several other companies our business, expressing the desire for a no closing cost loan. Other companies said sure we can do that, then when I looked at the fine print, it was obvious that they were just building the closing costs into a higher price point loan. NO. That was not what we wanted. I am happy to report that Skip at Miller Lending along with his team of hard-working folks achieved for us exactly what they have advertised and what we wanted. A no-closing-cost refi. It was all done via email and the internet. Even the closing part couldn't have been easier as the notary from the lawyer we chose came right to our house! Do you still have to go through the annoying process of supplying all kinds of personal financial information? Yes. But you have to do that with any mortgage loan. The whole process for us took about a month from beginning to end. Very much worth it as they have saved us about $300 a month!

He was always patient and took the time to explain every process throughout the entire process. Best part is they won't sell our mortgage to someone else so we get to keep working with him. Definitely recommend!

He answered many questions and had lengthy calls to assist us in making the best decision for our family. In the end, our builder's preferred lender offered incentives that Stephen said were actually worth "real money" and not just a shell game, adding fees here and there to make the offer look more appealing. He advised us to accept their offer and lock in the rate before any chance of changes. When we expressed shock that he would be so forthcoming when it didn't benefit him, he simply said that doing right by us would bring us back to his company in the future if we ever need another loan. He was absolutely terrific. (He also caught a major mistake that a big name bank made in their initial loan estimate to us. The big-name bank admitted that Stephen was correct.)
