Tier 1 nightmare

My experience with Tier 1 lending was horrible!!!! It started out really good while Mr. Patrick Collins was handling it, and then, out of nowhere they took Patrick off my loan and left some disgruntled lady named Robin Wasserman in charge of processing it. Everything went south after that. She never answered the phone, took forever to return my emails and when she did answer the phone she never had an answer for me and always seemed annoyed. She kept asking for information that was public record that she could've easily accessed her self. When I asked her to handle it for me, her answer was always"I have 30 other files on my desk and I don't have time to be resolving this for you" or "I'm not a licensed loan officer to answer those questions...she could've said...let me find out for you or let me get back to you on that but instead sounded annoyed and rude. I was warned by my Realtor to not go with online lenders because of all kinds of hidden fees and the frustration of not being able to get ahold of them, but trying to save some money I ended up with all kinds of ridiculous fees. Needless to say, I canceled the loan and went with a local lender and everything is going smooth now. Knowing what I now, I would never go with a lending tree or tier 1 or any online lender. On a personal note...Tier 1 would do well to hire 100 Patrick Collins. He really is a badass dude..he even gave me his cell phone so as to not miss my calls.

5 Stars for Tier1

I would recommend Katherine and Steve and their team from Tier1 to get a competitive loan. They did an excellent job on my loan. They were always responsive and were able to answer all of my questions to get me the best rate possible. They also helped close the loan early which was a major benefit for me. So, if you wanted a great rate and people who care, contact Tier1.

Great Mortgage Company

They understood my situation, which was not easy; however, they helped me every step of the way especially my mortgage consultant, Karla Corcoran. I cannot recommend her enough! They were honest and trustworthy and even made a believer out of my realtor who was cynical. My realtor has also referred other clients to Karla and Tier 1 Lending. The other really positive thing is that closing was flawless.

This rating is for Patrick Collins…

This rating is for Patrick Collins only. He was exceptional. He listened to what we needed and gave us numerous options. He answered every question with a smile in his voice. We were able to accomplish exactly what we needed. Patrick explained everything in detail. He told us upfront what to expect and followed up continuously. He was available every time I called or sent a text. There were no surprises. I have made numerous real estate deals and delt with numerous lenders. Patrick was superior to them in every aspect. Patrick is the type of individual all employers wish they had.

Patrick Collins was great to work with

Patrick Collins was great to work with. Always called me back and did whatever he said he was going to do. Without his help, we could not have completed the process in such a short period of time.

I would highly recommend Mark Hoffman…

I would highly recommend Mark Hoffman with Tier 1 Lending. I would have given up on buying my first home if it wasn't for Mark. I'm in my fifties, newly divorced and raising my 9 year old. I knew if I could afford over 1300.00 a month rent, I could afford to buy my first home by myself. Not that easy with other lenders. Closed on my house in just a month. Give Mark Hoffman at Tier 1 Lending a call. You will be so glad you did! Thanks Mark for keeping me updated and returning my calls in a timely manner.

This was an excellent experience

This was an excellent experience. Beginning with Karla Corcoran and ending with Melinda Frye. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and diligence to detail. The refinancing went through without issue and that is a reflection of your quality care. We are definitely telling our family and friends about your company and how professional you are!

Thank you again for your assistance. You are a life saver!
