Zach Appleby at Equitbable came highly recommended by a fellow co-worker having used him in the past for her home purchase. I am so grateful that we took her suggestion as Zach exceeded my expectations. Having only gone through a local bank I was unsure what to expect. Zach answered every telephone call I made, made the process quick and painless, and beat the closing time/pricing for any of my local competitors. He has many years of experience and has been at Equitable for a long time---this also made me feel comfortable that he knew what he was doing. I highly recommend him and you won't regret it!

Everyone I have had the pleasure of working with at Equitable has been Amazing. John Haring helped me do 2 mortgages since 2012. He not only helped me with my mortgages but helped ensure I wouldn't be upside down financially by helping me determine what I could handle financially. Definitely above and beyond service even after hours! I would recommend them to friends or family and plan to continue using Equitable Mortgages services in the future.

David Sherman is one of the best in the mortgage business. I work with plenty of lenders and David is second to none. His customer service is stellar. He has great follow up skills and facilitates the transaction from beginning to end. I have referred David and will continue to do so.

Zach Appleby and Equitable Mortgage provided outstanding customer service. He was responsive throughout the process of selling our home in NY, purchasing a home in OH and relocating our family to the Columbus area - all during the holiday months from October-December. Within 6 months of closing, interest rates dropped and Zach reached out encouraging us to refinance with a 15 or 20 year mortgage. His knowledge professionalism, and ethical standards are second to none.

Zach Appleby at Equitable made the process extremely quick, clear and pleasant. The whole process took about 2 weeks and every step of the way he was either proactive or responsive accordingly. I highly recommend Equitable and Zach. Their single point of reliable contact and dedicated team behind the scenes provided superior service. ( I had been working with another local company that could not get anything accomplished in over 4 months of trying. So this was amazing to me. )

From start to finish the communication was good and I was notified of all the documents that I would need in order to have my home loan close. On the day of the closing all paperwork was in order and everything was explained to me in detail before signing. I was extremely pleased with the entire process.

We got the funding we needed to buy a home.
Description of Work: We worked with Zach Applyby, who was incredibly knowledgeable and also very responsive and personal. We were in the market for a mortgage and found one through Equitable. I was very nervous because of some financial difficulties we had in the past. This organization was very up front, clear and so easy to work with. Zach is a very dedicated and compassionate member of this organization and I recommend him whole heartedly.

We looked around carefully before choosing a company to work with on refinancing our mortgage. There are so many scams out there, and we didn't want to become another victim. Thanks to Angie's List, we found Equitable Mortgage Corp, and worked with finance officer David Sherman. The entire experience went wonderfully. David shot straight and gave us great advice throughout the process. He answered all our questions promptly and completely. Closing was a breeze, and they even honored a coupon that we had forgotten to present at the start of the process. I would highly recommend Equitable Mortgage to anyone looking to refinance their home.

I worked with Steve Stas and Nikki Rumker and they were great. I called Equitable because of their reviews on Angie's List and from the first call, they were really helpful. When I stopped in the office to drop off documents, I went to the receptionist desk, and immediately they asked if they could make copies for me-just really friendly. I had a situation where the seller wanted to speed up the closing date, and Steve and Nikki always kept in touch with me and our realtor, making sure nothing was forgotten about. We made the closing without a problem. As far as the product, Steve made sure I got a good rate without all the PMI garbage. In addition, Equitable offered a coupon for $250 off for Angie's list members. I will definitely use Equitable again.

Worked with Zach. I got this company's name from Angie's List to begin with, so it was my only referral. But I was very pleased with Zach. The whole process went much more smoothly than I anticipated. Zach was extremely responsive, told me exactly what I needed to get to him, and called me frequently and kept me informed. Would use again in the future.

I found him on Angie's List and, from the first phone call, he worked very hard for us. We had 3-5 weeks to move, from start to finish and he was always one step ahead. We found a house and closed in less than a month. It was great.
Description of Work: We used Steve for our mortgage and could not have been more pleased. Great rate, closed quickly and his TIL statement was accurate. He also referred us to our realtors, who found us the perfect home when we had no idea where in Columbus we wanted to live. I can't recommend him enough.

I was very wary of trying to refinance because of the difficulty in finding a good mortgage company. I was willing to pay for refinancing, as long as I got the best interest rate I could. I was also more comfortable with a local company. I checked out some online offers, and found that the credit requests done by mortgage companies didn't impact my credit rating favorably. I also had a shady company call me because they had somehow gotten my info from the internet. Fortunately, I found Equitable and had a very good, professional experience. They explained everything, and were very responsive to my calls and emails.
Description of Work: Refinance a current mortgage. Costs paid were $650 to Equitable, the balance for appraisal, title search, recording and transfer charges.

Our loan officer, Tony Butler, was fantastic. He was more than willing to spend time giving us rates and options for our refinance and did not push us to make a decision. He was very prompt in returning calls and emails and the refinance went through in record time! Jared was also wonderful in assisting with the processing. We would definitely recommend Equitable!
