We worked with Paul. He was high energy, but seemed to care and was very knowledgeable. Paul was on top of our case and very responsive. We ended up using another financing option as it was cheaper and only available to a select few. Paul was honest with us about this option when we got approved and gave it his blessing. He was gracious and professional and we enjoyed working with him and the team. We'll seek them out again on our next investment property acquisitions. Thanks Zeus Mortgage - especially Paul!

The process started in 3/21 and I expect to be close by end of April. Between myself and the seller agent, Zeus has been telling us a different stories about the process status and the closing date. He waited until 4/18 to order the appraisal and told me the report MAYBE ready by 5/2. And 5/2 is only the appraisal report.....not even the actual closing date which he would not give me. At the end of the day, I found another way of financing the house. I completely lost faith and trust doing business with Zeus I will never use them again.

Started loan process in February 15, 2013, received a pre-approval from them to purchase home. We found the perfect home for us and started the process, met staff at their local office and signed the paperwork. Instructed our loan person that our lease was up on our apartment at the end of April, and we would need to close no later than then, we were told that was no issue. February and March we exchange a few emails back forth as I provided documents that had been requested (never longer than 24 hours for me to return an email or send docs). I didn't hear from our loan person as much as i had felt we should have, and when i felt uneasy i would email, with no response for a couple of days. Every email response was ensuring us not to worry we were on track and everything looked fine. Mid April comes around and we still have not been through final underwriting, as they were requesting banking documents. I am on another mortgage, and was very upfront about this, they said that wasn't an issue all i needed to do was provided 12 months of bank statements showing someone else was paying the mortgage and also provide documents to show i don't live there. I provided those documents to them, they had requested for those documents again and we sent again (they needed a clearer copy),so i sent them to them. We are now about 1 week from our deadline, at which time i tell the loan officer that I should spend this weekend to look for another apartment since i already gave my 60 day notice to my current apartment since i was told that there was no issues with my loan. I was told by my loan officer that wasn't a good use of my time and that everything will work out. Many times we were told that we should get a call at the end of the day, no call... or that we should receive our final approval by a certain day, 2 or 3 days would pass with no final decision or communication. Come April 22nd with no final approval, we get clarification that one underwriter read their rules to say I can be removed from the 1st mortgage i am on, and the second underwriter said that is not what their rules say... this went back and forth for a couple of days... On April 25th i was told that they should get a final approval on Friday the 26th (movers are coming on the 29th). On the 25th I called another mortgage company (Caliber Funding), and spoke to a loan officer and explained our situation, he instructed me that he didn't see why it wasn't closed already and that he could help, I had asked if we could wait until Friday as I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to my current company... He agreed... Come Friday i still didn't have a final approval, so I ended up calling Caliber funding and he worked on my approval... Finally Zues came back with a and quot;holdand quot; on my account until i was off of the other mortgage as they were not going to be able to do my loan with me being on the other mortgage. (In this time the other mortgage was being worked for a refinance for me to be taken off). In this process I met with our loan person in a face to face to express my frustration with this process and the lack of communication and sense of urgency. He was very polite and let me vent and listened to my concerns. I ended up closing on my house on Friday May 24th with Caliber Funding (103 days)... it only took Caliber Funding 21 days to get my loan through the process, yes I had to pay for a second appraisal, but my frustration and time was well worth the headache. I emailed our loan officer (very politely) and explained that as much as i appreciated his efforts that we ended up closing with another company... NO RESPONSE. (not surprised)... PS... we did get lucky, the homeowner allowed us to rent from him until we could get this mortgage mess cleaned up.

Before I started working with them the rep told me that they can close my loan in 3 weeks. I had 4 weeks to close. So I felt comfortable with their response and started working with them. Four weeks passed and my closing date approached. But they were still processing my documents. When I asked my rep to give me the owner's number so I could speak to him about the whole issue, he refused to give it. Then the rep said that he will offer me 1/2 % lower rate to and quot;make upand quot; with me as part of and quot;customer satisfactionand quot;. He made me feel that he was somehow able to offer lower rate because I was upset about the whole issue Mortgage rates are decided by the lender and not by the broker. Couple of months later when I questioned him how come he offered me lower rate, he confessed that he had another lender willing to loan me at 1/2% lower rate . ( For reason's unrelated to them my deal fell thru and I did not need the loan money )

I met with Jermarcus Norris about a new mortgage for income property. He made contact with me through an investors website. We talked a few times on the phone. He is very professional, although he is relatively new in the mortgage business, he was eager to please and get answers for me. I elected to meet him prior to committing to do business with him. During our meeting he maintained a very professional attitude. He introduced me to Jackie Sager, one of his associates. Between the two of them, all questions were answered and we are now going forward with securing fund for my income property. Over all experience, I rate both extremely high. And have already recommended my realtor to refer his clients to them. Fees for their service are a little less than what I've found in Dallas. I'm looking forward to finishing this deal, and going on with the next.

Zeus Mortgage made a challenging process much more straightforward and simple. The representatives kept us informed of all steps in the process and any changes along the way. They also supported us with the numerous forms that were required. The approval process was very easy with Zeus Mortgage. Closing on both the purchase and refinance took longer than anticipated, but they were very helpful in explaining where we stood and why we were delayed. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We used Zeus Mortgage for a home purchase in June 2010 and a refinance in March 2012. They worked with us on securing an attractive interest rate, getting our home appraised, and navigating the process from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed most of the work with Zeus. They were able to provide a very good interest rate on both loans. However, the team seemed far too busy. It was difficult to get in contact with my loan officer. Sometimes I did not get a call or email back from him for more than a day. Also, their business showed up at closing where there were multiple errors on in the closing documents. We had to rush back and forth to re-sign documents. They are great people with an unbeatable attitude, but they need to slow down and focus on customer needs.
Description of Work: I acquired two mortgages from Zeus, one to cover 80% of the purchase, and a balloon loan to cover 10%.

I had perfect credit score ( over 750)...Had good cash reserve in the bank........Yet they kept going in circles and they finally denied my application eventhough they told it was not my fault...........I eventually refinance with another company and the whole process took only 20 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are very good SALES people, however they are lousy at finishing the job. The cost was around $800 in appraisals and field review that was NEVER USED !!!!!!!! AND the cash was NEVER REFUNDED!!!!
Description of Work: Wasted my time for 6 months trying to refinance a property I owned.....I provided them with every document they needed within 24-hour period.

Response from Zeus Mortgage, Ltd.
October 10, 2012 Member *** *** Re: Letter of Acknowledgement and Apology Dear Member, I am writing to address the comments posted on Angie’s List by you on February 15, 2012. It is clear to me that your experience with Zeus Mortgage was less than favorable, to put it mildly, and your complaint was not ignored. Please accept my personal apology for the breakdown in managing your loan responsibly. Zeus Mortgage takes great pride in being a part of the success that real estate investors experience when they build their real estate portfolio. We have many programs designed to facilitate financing for most of our investors and it is very unfortunate when our world class professionals are unable to help anyone. My intention is simply to acknowledge your complaint and to let you know that I take responsibility for not being able to assist you. You came to us, in good faith, with an intention to complete your transaction and we failed you. On behalf of Zeus Mortgage, I’m sorry. We would love the opportunity to serve you, your friends, and your family in the future. Respectfully, Steven Kaufman, CPA President of Zeus Mortgage,Ltd.

Response from Zeus Mortgage, Ltd.
Dear Friends: Please accept this letter as a corporate response to Burdine Compton’s complaint against Zeus Mortgage, made August 31, 2011. In April of 2011, the Customer contacted Zeus Mortgage to restructure financing on their home and workspace, a unique property South of Houston, TX. The property was unique as it was presented as one parcel including their home, a single family residence accompanied by a Duplex residence. When contact was made with Zeus Mortgage, the Customer intended to reduce the interest rate and payment they were making on one loan that was discovered to have been secured by both properties individually. This discovery was made after opening Title and researching each parcel. This practice prior to application is made or a loan is structured, though highly unconventional, was completed to ensure the transaction was structured properly and had the best chance of completion. This preliminary research also led to the waiting period outlined in the Customer’s complaint, as this required opening Title on both properties and additional work in conjunction with a title professionals, to whom the Compton’s paid no cost for these services. After concluding with the Title Company and Approval department that the Customer’s could refinance the loan securing both parcels into one loan securing only one parcel (thereby freeing the second property from any liens), document requests were made to initiate the transaction. Initial contact was made with Zeus on 4/05/2011 and after the title and program research was completed, document requests were made 4/15/2011. Though some requests were satisfied, most of the contact made between 4/15/2011 and 4/28/2011 were to check status of the remaining documentation that the Customer agreed to deliver. As each agreed upon date passed, additional contact was made to realign expectations. The Customer continually agreed to the next day and became unresponsive after 4/28/2011. Our intention was not in any way to pressure the Customer into any transaction they did not want to enter. In fact, the loan we proposed not only dramatically reduced the rate and payment as was requested, but also freed one of the two parcels of any mortgage liens, thereby paying it off completely. Zeus Mortgage is committed to success in the endeavors our Clients bring to us, and we feel terribly that the Customer's received this commitment as any form of pressure. We value the Customer's as past Clients and potential future Clients, and hope for the opportunity to earn their business and trust in the future. If there is any additional information needed on the Customer’s case file, please contact me directly, it is my intention to assist you in every way possible. Warm regards, Steven Kaufman, CPA President/CEO Zeus Mortgage, Ltd.
