Please do not waste your time with these people. Let me tell you about our AWFUL experience we just had. I have filed a complaint with DORA and the BBB. At the end of August, we were referred to Mr Ramsey by a friend of his to refinance our home. We were happy with the rates being offered, and were even more pleased when Mr Ramsey said we would close in 14 days. September 1st came about and my husband called Mr Ramsey and asked if we should make our mortgage payment. Mr Ramsey told him not to make the payment because he had already contacted our mortgage company and got the payoff numbers, and if we made a payment it would “mess it all up.” 2 weeks go by, we hadn’t heard anything from Mr Ramsey. My husband called again as this was past our expected closing. My husband didn’t hear back from Mr Ramsey. He sent text messages and emails, and again, received no communication back. My husband called the person that referred us to Mr Ramsey to see if she could get a hold of him, being that they’ve been friends for 20 years. That is when we finally heard from him! Mr Ramsey said we slipped through the cracks, and they just got bombarded with more applications because the rates went down. Folks, this was still in September. October came, we still haven’t received paperwork or communication from Mr Ramsey. Then Mr Ramsey contacted my husband and said we now need to make our September payment since we will be closing in October and not September. This threw us for a loop, we obviously weren’t expecting to pay September’s and had spent that money on flooring for the house. Nevertheless, we made the payment, and were told he will prioritize us. Now we are in the second week in October, and guess what... Mr Ramsey informs us that the underwriters have denied our application to refinance because we were LATE on our September payment! Due to Mr Ramsey’s negligence, we now have a late payment on our credit report, we didn’t get approved for refinance because we didn’t make the September payment on time, per his direction! We are absolutely beside ourselves. We have NEVER had a late mortgage payment in our lives.

My experience with this company was amazingly poor! Aspen Home Mortgage was recommended to me so I was shocked when I experienced such terrible service. Being a new home buyer, I didn't know the right questions to ask and the folks at Aspen certainly did not volunteer any information or otherwise educate me on what to expect. They also seemed to be opposed to talking on the phone and communicated nearly exclusively over email. Even when I told them I could not often respond to email quickly, they sent me emails that required my immediate attention, and then implied I was being uncooperative in not responding to them quickly! They did NOT tell me about the interest rate I was getting. I only found out by reading the documents. Also, ONE day before our scheduled closing date, Aspen "discovered" a problem with the home's appraisal and the closing had to be delayed for weeks. This is a "problem" they should have "discovered" weeks earlier. Their delay caused great difficulty for my family since moving involves planning and coordination of many details. Overall, if you're already an expert and don't need good communication, you might consider using this company, but if you need them to be the experts and lead you through the home-buying process, DON'T pick them! If not for the guidance and support of my realtor, I wouldn't have survived this process!

Response from Aspen Home Mortgage Group, Inc.
April 10, 2017 Aspen Home Mortgage values all of its clients and does their absolute best to insure every borrower is treated fairly and with respect. Needless to say, the above review is taken seriously and with an eye on how to make the customers experience as pleasant as possible. The above client clearly had a poor experience and felt strongly enough to put in writing her feelings. Clearly there are two sides to every story and we always had the borrowers best interest at the forefront of our thought process. I feel that the contact with the borrower was as strong as it could be and she feels differently. Between myself and my processor there was contact on a nearly daily basis, both by email and by phone. We were unaware that she felt this communication lacking. Per the processor on the loan she was told not to call during business hours because she was unable to take calls at the office. It is a fine line between communication and pestering. In the future, we will try harder to improve our communication skills. Due to privacy laws, I cannot comment directly on aspects of the transactions which limits my ability to respond properly. What I can tell all is that the disclosure laws associated with the industry were met and exceeded at all times during this transaction. The main issue for the delay in the settlement date was something that I will not discuss but do feel that the anger is clearly misplaced. Suffice it to say that as a loan officer for almost 30 years I am 100% satisfied with way the loan was processed and the delay was completely avoidable had pertinent facts been revealed in a timely manner. I cannot say more without revealing details of the transaction. The other delay was also self-inflicted in that we did not require the title company to provide a survey for this type of property. One of the other experts felt a survey was needed. The title work that was provided to us within days of settlement took exception to an encroachment of the property line. Once provided it needed to be addressed in the best interest of the borrower. We later found out that all parties knew about the encroachment but decided it was not relevant to inform the loan officer of the issue. It may also be important to note that this would not have happened had she stayed with her original realtor who had also been dismissed. Had I been informed of the issues earlier it could have been addressed during the processing of the loan but we were kept in the dark until the title work was provided. For many this would have been the end of the transaction, however we in order to provide the borrower with the best possible outcome we appealed to the Department of Housing and Urban development for a waiver to this issue. We assembled an appeal package and submitted and were rewarded with an exception and approval to proceed. I cannot control how fast the federal government responds to an individual appeal, and in this case, we were able to do all of this in two weeks which is actually quite fast for an organization the size of HUD. Had we been informed when the borrower and the realtor knew this issue, there would not have been cause for delay. As a company, we do clearly regret this borrower was not satisfied, we are a small company that values all our clients and even one that is not satisfied is too many and regardless of the reasons. We do apologize to [Member Name Removed]. Although this was a difficult loan that others could not do we are glad that the result was an upset borrower as opposed to a homeless borrower. We will always try harder to insure all our customers enjoy their experience with Aspen Home Mortgage. Regards, Timothy P Scott President

We researched who to refinance our home mortgage with and decided on Aspen Home. We had heard good things about them, and that their rates were some of the best in our area. They were extremely professional, responsive and quick in processing our loan. All required underwriting documentation was requested at the time of the loan application which we felt helped accelerate the loan processing and approval time-frame. The entire process was very painless and we are very happy with our new very low rate!
