1st Mortgages Reviews
by MrrobotRate was fine, but absolutely no communicationYour mortgage will be handled by a Californian company called CU Members. I called around 4 times during business hours and never got anybody to answer or call back. I sent a few emails but only one ever received a response. I would ask questions or send documents and wait days not knowing if anybody was even reading them. To their credit, they eventually did reply telling me they got my documents. I ended up using a local mortgage lender instead who even gave me a lower rate.
