Quicken Loans Review of the Day

BetsyR — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:13:34 +0000

Today’s review of the day is from Viewpoints member Hopeisrewarding – “From day one in August of 2009 that I went to Quicken for a loan, their staff and Representatives bent over backwards to make it happen. What this team did to get us our house and the closing on time was remarkable. I commend Quicken Loans and their team.
Once again in 2010 through unseen circumstances it became necessary to refinance my loan. Not knowing what step to take, It just so happened that I received a courtesy call from my Representative “Gerard Lemionet” about my first loan inquiring how everything was going. The timing could not have been better. I explained the situation to him and he immediately got the ball rolling. He worked very close with me and his help was very gratifing. There was no question to small or unimportant that he wasn’t willing to help. He is a people person. He cares and puts all his efforts forward for the customer. He is truly an asset to his company. I know now that my refinancing will go on smoothly. My peace of mind on this loan transaction has been a very valuable experience and I will highly recommend Quicken Loans and Gerard every chance I get.”

Demand for Home Purchase Loans Push Mortgage Applications Higher

BetsyR — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:17:49 +0000

Last week there was an increase in demand for home purchase loans which in turn pushed mortgage applications higher. CNBC’s article, “Home Loan Demand Nudges Higher in Latest Week” discusses the increase in mortgage applications and how it will affect the U.S. housing market, which is still very vulnerable. Bill Emerson the CEO of Quicken Loans was interviewed and had this to say:

“The lofty level of homes either on the market for sale or about to hit the market through foreclosures and short sales are the biggest threat to the U.S. housing market.

‘This inventory will pressure prices, so many people are sidelined right now, waiting for prices to fall further,’ he said.”

To see more about what Bill has to say and about the increase in mortgage applications check out CNBC’s article.

Quicken Loans Review of the Day

BetsyR — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:04:21 +0000

Today’s review of the day is from Viewpoints member upst8sc41 – “We were looking to refinance to a lower rate and wanted to do a 15 yr fixed term. Our loan representatives at Quicken made the process very easy. What we liked the most was being able to scan in all the documents they needed and upload them to their secure site. Also being able to sign things electronically during the application process just saved time. And we were updated every step of the way. Once we were ready to close, they set it up and had the closing agent come to our house on our schedule to sign the closing documents. It was a great, streamlined process and I highly recommend them.”

Today’s review of the day is from Viewpoints member Rumrog - “My loan was great from the first person who contacted to the last closer.

I’am a 63 year old veteran and this was the first time I was offered VA loan. Thanks Quicken Loans.”
