I have never had a problem when Lori has handled the loan process for me with 2 other home purchases and she is working for me now on a third home I am buying. Everything has been smooth sailing so far and she keeps me up to date. I won't use any other broker because she is the best. I also like the educational informative emails she sends out to me so I can make better choices when I buy a home. I have never had a problem.
Description of Work: Lori is very knowledgeable as a broker and I have worked with her in the past and she will continue to be my broker in the future. She makes sure I understand the market and all of the loan options available to me as well as any grants or special programs available to me . She tries to save me money any way she can. She stays on top of everything during the purchase and keeps me and my realtor informed throughout the loan process. She updates me frequently with how things are going and stays on top of everything so I don't have to worry. the process is smooth and stress free for me thanks to Lori and her efficiency at her job. Anytime I call her or email she gets right back with me. I really appreciate the hard work she does for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone if you want great service in every way.

Lori was recommended to us by our restate broker. Once our information was past to her she worked with us on starting the pre approval paperwork. She was very knowledge about the income caps and what was needed to be pre approved for a USDA loan. After sending her all our paper work she quickly got us pre approved. She has kept in touch with us to make sure we know the changes to a few grants we have looked at as well as information about the loans that have changed.

When the interest rates dropped, Lori sent me an a email to let me know I should look in to refinancing my home loan. At the time I was in the middle of refinancing with my current bank. Lori offered to send me some quote regardless just to make sure I was getting a good rate with my current lender. Guild Mortgage rates were actually better that what my bank offered but I was getting a no cost closing so I decided to stay with my current lender. Going forward I know who I would reach out to for any future loans... Lori. She has always been on top of the market and is willing to send you as many quotes as you need for all the options that pertain to your loan. I trust that Lori will always be honest with me and search for the best loans out there.

It went terrible. I had previously tried to refi my house with a VA loan that fell through because my home didn't appraise for a high enough value. So Lori said she had a bank that would actually refund some money back to me as long as I would take a quarter point higher interest rate. I agreed to it and we went forward. I paid $500 for a home inspection. Things kept dragging on. I need new pay stubs every 2 weeks and bank statements, and various updates to the bank. After 7 months of this the bank decided that the value on my house of about $700 dollars too short on the appraised value so I would have to redo the loan but for another quarter point higher on my the interest rate. Oh, and the money I was promised in order to take that higher nterest rate? It was only available if my home appraised for the right value and I was $700 short even though that was never mentioned when I first applied for the loan. And it took 7 months to find out I was being lied to. Do yourself a favor and avoid this woman.
Description of Work: She had a rating of "A" on Angie's list with many good reviews for being a mortgage broker. So I worked with her to get my house refinanced.

Response from Premier Lending, Inc.
The client contacted me after he had not been able to refinance his loan due to a low appraisal. I explained that I would do everything that I could for him, but I could not make any promises because I have no influence over the appraisal process. The appraisal that we received was $700.00 short of the value that the borrower needed in order to complete the refinance, which met that the borrower would need to bring money into closing, but because he didn't have funds to bring to closing, I suggested that we adjust the interest rate so that he could use the credit from the bank to help him close his loan. Please see example of how the bank credit works: Lets say that we have a loan amount of 20K and the borrower chooses an interest rate of 3.750% the bank may offer a credit of .113% or $226.00. but if the borrower chose a higher interest rate of 4.000% then the bank may offer a credit of 1.208% or $2,416.00. Unfortunately, this was still confusing to my borrower and he chose not to move forward with the refinance.

I was etremely happy with the low interest rate and knowledge of home loans that Lori so kindley shared. She was always helpful and patient with answering all of my questions while helping me understand what was going on. Buying a home can be a little scary, but Lori seemed to be totally confident about her ability to get my loan completed. I can not say enough good things about Lori. She was professional yet warm and very friendly. If you are looking for an excellent Loan Officer or Mortgage Person for buying or refinancing a home, I would encorage you to give Lori a call.
Description of Work: Lori Manley put my mortgage togather for me. She was referred to me by a close friend who had used her mortgage services and were happy with her work. She closed my home loan on time and for a very good interest rate with good terms.

When we first met her, she came to our apartment on a Saturday for the opening paperwork. That was very nice of her. She was 45 minutes or so late to this meeting, but it wasn't a big deal since it was our home. She also found us a loan with a very good interest rate. The only issue that I had was that my emails to her kept going in her junk folder, so she never got them until we realized what was happening. I'd never had this happen with anyone else before, so it was pretty unexpected. Once she added me to her list of contacts, we had no more issues with this. She was friendly and also professional. We were able to take care of all business after the initial meeting through email and the phone. We printed out, filled out, scanned and emailed back all appropriate forms. Of course, I still had to show up at the escrow office to sign the closing paperwork.

She one thing that she did that nobody else did was getting our credit score increased so we could get the loan through. They did a rapid rescore and got everything squared away so we could buy the house. I would absolutely recommend her. I am going to go back to her in the future. I was real impressed.

Lori was very patient and articulate, and was especially good at explaining some of the Byzantine details that accompany the unusual type of loan that I was looking for. The bank representative that she referred me to was also quite helpful. Mortgages are complicated loans, and many brokers aren't particularly motivated to help customers understand the tricky details. Lori made that effort, following through on phone conversations, and providing helpful referrals.

Lori arranged better financing than my current lender was able to offer me for the refinance of my condo. Lori walked me through all the options I had for the refi, and patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions. She was also fast and efficient moving my application through the process. Lori was available by phone/email whenever I tried to reach her, even during the Christmas/New Year holiday weeks.

My husband and her could never get on the phone to talk. We called when she mentioned would be a good time for her and she was very dismissive on the phone. She seemed to put us on the back burner since she was busy with other clients and could not get information from her. She would call during my husband business hours while he was with patients. We never got the home refinanced with them, we found someone else to use.

Response from Premier Lending, Inc.
Unfortunately, I think there must be a big misunderstanding because this refinance was started on 3/21 at which time I sent an email requesting the items needed from the borrower in order to move forward. On 3/25, 3/29, and 4/1 I left messages for the borrower. On 4/3 I locked the loan in at the low interest rate of 3.500% on a 30 year fixed loan and I emailed and left a voice msg that I had sent disclosures "again" to [removed member's name]. I opened Title and set up Escrow so that we would be ready as soon as I received the signed disclosures back from the borrowers. On 4/5 I emailed / voice msg disclosures again asking the borrower to confirm receipt and explained that our lock was only for 30 days so time was of the essence. On 4/8 and again on 4/12 and then on 4/17 the same message was emailed and voice msg asking the borrowers to sign and return the loan disclosures and never got a response. It is disappointing that [removed member's name] felt like I was not focused on their refinance, because I honestly felt like I was the one being ignored as they were unresponsive, and in order for me to provide financing, the borrower must provide certain information to me. I loose credibility with my lenders if I lock a loan that doesn’t close, so believe me ~ I make every effort to close these locked loans. Most of my clients find me very accommodating and they understand that in order to complete their loan transaction, I must work with the banks during business hours and am only available in the evening hours on a "need to" basis. The borrowers would not provide me with the information I needed to do my job. I thought they had just changed their mind about refinancing because I never heard from them, so this report was a surprise.

They were great to deal with. They were very helpful and responsive. I was able to get a hold of Mile through email, phone and fax. He was personable and always watching my back to make sure I was getting the lowest rate possible. I was very happy with the outcome. I even tried to call him back to see if he could help with my house in Las Vegas but he unfortunately is not licensed here.

Lori Manley was the mortgage broker for wife and me when we recently bought our new home. This was our fist house and Lori made the process a wonderful experience. She was always ready to answer all of our questions and explain in detail the pros and cons of the different types of loan programs and helped us find the loan program that was best for us. She was very knowledgeable and on top of everything. My wife really liked the fact that Lori never made us feel like we had silly questions and would always greet us with a smile and treat us like friends. We appreciate the professionalism and kindness that we were shown and will most definitely request her services when we buy our next home. We have already referred two of our friends to Lori. Sincerely, JB Brown
Description of Work: A great job as our mortgage broker with buying our new home.
