I like doing business with them. Just from the start of processing they help me a lot from getting information and during start of the loan they assist me to get loan from the bank and for the mortgage that I can afford to pay that it will not going to break my leg to pay the monthly mortgage. That it will just get into my wallet that I still able to live my life. They will keep me posted every updated that they have with the load that I am doing with them until I finally gotten and paid my mortgage.
They have all the expert that will going to help you doing the process until to the last payment to make more worth payable to the client and that will not going to hold back to the expenses. They keep doing the follow - up to make more correspond to the business and give the property to make it worth to have. It is clear and be more worth using them.
They make sure that I will be happy working with them and give their best to give me the information that I needed with the property that I am working with them to make it clear and that I will not going to have any problem in the future regarding with the property. It was excellent and makes me more reliable and good experience doing business to them. It makes me more going to use this business for the future. They will going to make great process and program to make things work in both sides to make the payment more easier and not so much hard for both parties.

Before I give my review, I have to make a disclaimer. I recently closed on my house (4/16/19), but while I was going through this process, I stayed on these review sites looking at user reviews. There was so much negativity concerning QL, that I was scared to death. I thought about leaving and was regretting my choice of Loan Company. I was waiting for the call that I have been denied, since a lot of reviews talk about last minute denials. I was stressed. I say that to say this: YOUR experience and situation is unique to you. Yes, it is nice to try and gain knowledge, but don’t be discouraged by what you read on these sites. I experienced hardly anything that I read from past reviewers. Every situation is different so what you read may not fit you. Please keep that in mind.
With that said, my experience was easy and fast. From the time I applied online, I got a call from Brandon and right there, he was in my corner. He was not pushy or did I feel like a number. Of course his job to get paid; what’s wrong with that? However, he was not overbearing or anything. He explained to me the process and from there, it was just a matter of getting pre-qualified. That took all of five minutes.
From there, it was just the normal procedure of pre-approval, getting paperwork, underwriting, etc. Yes, they ask for a lot of paperwork and there were times when I questioned why you needed that. But I gave them what they wanted IN A TIMELY MANNER. When I got my disclosures, Brandon explained to me line by line what each one meant. He explained fees, points, choices of interest rates, everything. Again, I had did research so I wanted to see if what he said matched up to what I learned. It did. At no time I felt I was being taken advantage of.
This company believes in communication, sometimes to a fault, but that is ok. My questions were answered swiftly and accurately. When I had a concern, they were there. At no time I felt alone and that was important to me a first time home buyer. When I ask a question and we finished talking, they always said “you are welcome”. This triggered an email stating that you have a message. That part was a bit too nice because you think there is something important in your account, but again, that is my thing. Too much is better than not enough.
When it came time to close, I have my closing docs a week before closing. This allowed me to schedule a time with my lawyer that worked best for both of us. We signed three days early and come that Tuesday, QL had funded the loan before I even had my keys to the house and was registered in Deeds. QL was awesome. Again, this is my experience. My experience was stressful, but looking back, it was super smooth. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I am a fan of QL and will sing their praises everywhere I go. Thank you QL!

I have always been a America First snob. In the beginning of wanting to refinance my home I contacted AFCU. They stated I, alone, myself would not qualify nor could I use my part time job income (because most part time jobs don’t last). My fiancé told me some of his customers had raves about Quicken Loans. I contacted them and hesitated, so I hung up. I got a text from Brittney. (I’m all about texting if possible.) She was so helpful and text me very clear answers on everything I had. The Rocket Mortgage app is awesome. I submitted all my documentation she needed AND my part time job pay stubs (Along with my full time job also of course). :) She gave me multiple options and the payment was perfect.
I was able to pay off all of my loans and be debt free. I read on the reviews after I had started the process that people weren’t happy and were passed on to other people, having to provide all the documentation over and over again. This did not happen to me. Everything was forwarded on to the next person. When it came time to close, they send someone (a notary) to my home!!! I picked the time and they were here with my paperwork. AMAZING!!! I was finished with the whole process, with no lies, no pressure within 2 1/2 weeks tops. I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning to refi their home. Thank you Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage for everything!!!

Obtained a VA Jumbo mortgage for $575,000 at 3.5%. We put about 100k into the transaction as a downpayment and closing costs and prepaid some interest for a quarter-point reduction in our rate. Application to pre-approval took one day. Conditional final approval took about another 10 days. Satisfied all requirements about 25 days before our closing and just waited. VA appraisal was done on time and was fair market value for our property. The only curveball was a requirement for a termite inspection, but we were given three weeks notice, and it was a requirement for our state, so I put the blame more on the realtor than Quicken. Closed on time, on the day originally promised with zero issues. The only problem with closing was after Quicken forgot to get a document to our title agent for us to sign, and asked us to sign and send it back to them, it took a total of ten extra minutes.
We have had zero issues with the servicing of our mortgage; everything is clearly laid out in our monthly statements including the impact of our additional principal payments. We had a unique situation where we are property tax exempt but had to pay taxes into escrow at closing. Quicken did an escrow review the same day and refunded our money in 7 business days. We were warned about Quicken possibly being an issue, however from our perspective as long as you give them what they ask when they ask we had no issues. Brad was awesome, so was Mel.

This is my third mortgage loan/refinance with Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage. My first contact was little less than amazing. I requested a rate quote from one of your online ads, and in a few minutes my phone rang. I was being contacted by an enthusiastic agent. Within a couple of weeks, I was signing up for a re-fi for my house in Kansas City. Subsequently, my company transferred me to Illinois and when we were ready to purchase a new home, I again contacted Quicken/Rocket in order to set up a new mortgage. As the first two went off without a hitch, when I considered a re-fi and lower my term, I cannot say that it was without some issues. The processes have changed a bit in just over a year. More layers of staff have been added in order to carry the workload (due to the amazing growth of the company I am sure).
There were a few important details that got shuffled and a few balls were dropped during the re-fi process. I sometimes felt that the right hand was not aware of what the left hand was doing. Once these glitches were pointed out however, I was quickly contacted by Laura **. I cannot say enough about how she assisted the getting the process back on track. Laura was interracial in my decision to remain with the re-fi process through your company and not utilize a local banker friend who originally contacted me and was in the process of handling my re-fi before one of your agents offered to match their offer. After researching my loan, Laura put me in touch with Brandon **. Brandon also was true to the company’s word and the customer’s expectations. He negotiated an outcome that was suitable for both and we closed on the new loan. Well done by Both!!
The original founder of the company I work for has been quoted many times, 'The three most important things in running a successful business are 'People, People, People'.' Well, with all of this being said, these two people… exemplify the best of the best! After a short period of questioning the new processes and wondering if your company would retain my business going forward, I am back to being a believer in your business model!!!

For over two months, I worked with a loan person from Detroit. I explain over and over I was in the middle of a divorce but my husband was taking over the house and mortgage. She said no problem she just needed something from the lawyer. I sent everything she asked for and then would go weeks without hearing anything. Then she would need more paperwork, and again nothing. Finally she stated she had everything she needed. A week later she wanted a divorce degree. I told her I was in the middle of a divorce and she wasted my time. Now she said that I can’t get a loan. Do not work with this company. They are terrible.

An absolutely terrible and frustrating experience, by far the worst I have ever had. I have purchased 8 homes during the past 40 years and refinanced those properties several times, NEVER with the hassle I experienced with Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage. And, every one of those loans was approved, some for a greater amount than I requested from Rocket Mortgage. I spent over three months in the application process. Every time I checked on the status of the loan, the representative said the underwriter requested more documentation. That happened SEVEN different times.
I ended up submitting over 1,200 (yes, 12 HUNDRED) pages of information, only to be denied the loan. I even wrote to the CEO two times, requesting a review of my application but was completely ignored. Ironically, I then applied to a local credit union, was approved in 9 days, and for a greater loan amount than I requested of Quicken. STAY AWAY from this on-line nightmare and find a local source for your real estate loan.

Terrible experience to say the least. Lots of promises. Went over my income with them and was told I met all of their requirements. I have a credit score of over 800. After giving them all the required documents I get a call from a lady named Amy who told me my income level was insufficient to afford a mortgage which is $2100+ a month less than I currently pay, but I have never been late or missed a payment in my life. She clearly had no idea as how to decipher my different methods of income which has satisfied every other lender.
So I am going with another lender and they were most surprised when I told them Rocket denied me based on income as they said not only is my income sufficient I could afford a larger loan based on the amount. These people have no idea as to what they are looking at. I tried to explain but was cut off. Also while my appraisal came in very low. Lower than one from 2 years ago and the prices have only gone up. They used comps of homes that weren’t even custom homes. So I’m using a face to face lender where we discussed the income and they have no problem with it. With Rocket you will never see anyone. Just over the phone and emails from people who appear to reading from scripts.

Quicken 2018 Mac Showing Too Many Digits For Check Number
I was pleasantly surprised when I first applied to Quicken Loans. The agent called me and said there would be no problem in obtaining a loan for our lake house. The process proceeded smoothly until the appraisal. The appraisal came in $10K less than the purchase price. At that point communication from Quicken Loans abruptly changed from friendly and helpful, to rigid and confrontive. I was told that I would need to bring another $10K to closing, even though I was financing well below even the appraised value. They did nothing to work or accommodate us, and refused to approach the appraiser about the inaccurate appraisal, even after 12 unconsidered factors about the property were brought to their attention.

The appraiser Quicken Loans hired refused to deal with our realtor or us, the buyers, and would only deal with Quicken Loans who refused to approach him about the inaccuracies in the appraisal. I had been told by our realtor when we signed the purchase agreement that Quicken Loans is difficult to deal with, but I discounted her advice as everything had been great - all until the appraisal when the claws and fangs came out and they became very difficult and unaccommodating. I would not finance with them in the future.

Definitely not a newbie to the mortgage refi process. Used LendingTree and I get a call from Quicken Loans. I am shopping rates and cost to refinance my mortgage. Told him I was shopping and he is the first. Mr. ** takes my information and runs credit. I have excellent credit (over 800) and will get back to me on total cost and rate. Calls back and tells me he has the best deal out there for a 30 yr fixed and is ready to take my deposit of $500 and start the process. He reveals the following: Rate: 3.625%. Cost: $11,200 New payment: $1510. My present rate: 4.625% Payment: $1627. He now wants my credit card to start the process!! Really!! Wow!! $11,200 in costs!! Gee how can I pass this up!! I told him again just shopping for rates. He said, 'there is nothing out that is better than what he quotes. Every mortgage company has access to the same products'.
Unfortunately his sales tactics and pushing this 'great' deal did not sit well with me. I told him what I thought and hung up. Will never recommend Quicken Loans. Stay far away if you are looking to refinance. Just received two quotes and guess what Mr. ** and Quicken Loans..take your 'best' deal and put it you know where!

Quicken has been the default personal finance manager of Mac users for years. But despite its ubiquity, I still run across many Quicken users who aren’t getting the most out of the program, because they don’t know some simple tricks that can make it easier to use. Here’s my top-ten list of tricks every Quicken user—from novices to experts—should know.
1. Customize the keyboard
If you don’t like Quicken’s default keyboard shortcuts, change them or add your own. Just hold down the 1 key and choose the item you want to customize from the menu bar. In the Edit Command Key dialog box, you can enter your preferred shortcut.
2. Don’t open Quicken
Need to quickly record an expense? Just tap the key you’ve configured to launch Dashboard, and then use the QuickEntry widget that was introduced with Quicken 2007. You can make entries in any of your Quicken accounts; those entries will be automatically imported into your account registers the next time you launch Quicken.
3. Unclutter your categories
Quicken’s categories are the key to tracking your spending. But even though some of Quicken’s default categories may not work for you, those categories will still appear every time you view the Categories & Transfers window or use the pop-up category list in the account registers. Get rid of categories you’ll never use by choosing Lists: Categories & Transfers: Remove Unused Categories.
4. Use classes
Quicken makes it easy to create categories for all your financial transactions—perhaps too easy. For example, let’s say you want to track individual medical expenses for you and your spouse. You could create two subcategories under the Medical category. But what about your kids? Do you really need a different Medical subcategory for each family member? If you do, and if you apply the same logic to your other expenses, you’ll soon have an unmanageable number of categories and subcategories.
The smarter thing to do is to create classes in Quicken. Classes are distinct from categories, so they can further define a transaction that has already been assigned to a category. For example, you might create a class for each of your family’s members. Just choose Lists: Classes, click on the New button in the Classes window, and add a new class name. Then, during data entry, you can assign a class to a transaction by appending a forward slash and a class name to the category name. For example, you’d enter
Medical/Bob for one of Bob’s medical expenses.
Once you’ve set up these classes, you can easily generate a report for the entire family’s medical expenses (sorting by category), another for all your expenses (sorting by class), and a third for just your medical expenses (sorting by both class and category).
5. Calculate faster
If you want to make a quick calculation while you’re entering data in the account register, you don’t have to reach for the calculator on your desk or in Dashboard. Instead, Quicken’s QuickMath feature gives you a simple “paper-tape” calculator (like an old adding machine) right in the account register. Here’s how to use it: While you’re in any field that you can enter an amount in, press an arithmetic-operator key (+, –, *, /, or =) to open the QuickMath paper tape. Enter the numbers you want to calculate, pressing an operator key between each number. When you’ve entered all your numbers, click on the Total but-ton at the bottom of the paper tape (or press enter). Quicken does the calculation and places the result into the field.
6. Don’t skip backups
Your Quicken data file is one of the most important files you have, and a good backup is a must. Quicken will back this file up automatically, but you can customize the backup location. A second hard drive is ideal. Choose Quicken: Preferences, and then go to the File Backup pane. Make sure that the Automatically Back Up The Data File To Disk option is selected; then click on Choose and navigate to a folder on your external hard drive. If you have a .Mac account, you can also automatically back up to your iDisk. Security is ensured because the backup file is compressed and encrypted with a password.
7. Set a schedule
A good way to keep on top of your finances is to set aside the same time each week to do your bills. If you use online banking, you can increase efficiency by having Quicken download your statements and update your accounts each week before you begin. Choose Online: Scheduled Updates; then, in the resulting dialog box, set the day of the week and the time for the automatic update. At that time, Quicken will launch silently in the background, download your financial data, and quit. When you’re ready, you just open Quicken and work with your updated information.

What’s New: • Improved work space, now there is plenty of flashy effects o the strip menu. In general Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Crack mac free download is a powerful image processing.
8. Reconcile instantly
Reconciling your accounts can be a pain, but if you use online banking, it can be almost painless. All you need to do is turn on automatic reconciliation. In Quicken’s preferences, open the Auto-Reconcile pane. Choose the account you want to automatically reconcile (it must be a checking, savings, or credit card account) from the pop-up menu; then select the Enable Auto-Reconcile option. I also suggest that you select the Auto-Reconcile Without Reminding Me option. That way, when your Quicken balances and your bank’s balances match, you won’t even see the Reconciliation dialog box.
9. Make online payees smarter
When you download transactions, they often appear with somewhat inscrutable payee names. For example, when I buy groceries with my debit card, the charge shows up with this payee name:
Safew0000000000CA 1724 . Quicken’s Smart Payee feature can help. In the Download Transactions window, select the payee name and type over it with a new name (I chose Safeway ); you can also make changes in the Category and Memo fields. Then click on the Record button. Quicken saves the new Smart Payee name for the transaction, and replaces the old name with the new one in all that payee’s past transactions. In future downloads, the original payee name will be automatically changed to the Smart Payee name.
10. Track your inventory
Your money is important, but so is your stuff. Use the included Quicken Home Inventory program to list all of your possessions for insurance purposes. Integration with iPhoto allows you to keep photographic documentation of your valuables. Just as important in the event of a disaster is being able to access your important papers; the Emer-gency Records Organizer lets you enter data and print a report containing emergency contacts, financial and insurance information, vital documents such as birth certificates and your will, and more. You’ll find both of these programs in the Activities menu.
