One of the best ways to find any potential challenges with a company is to simply "Google" them. People will always post horror stories about companies on the internet as a small way of exacting revengr.
One way to help you research as to whether a mortgage company is reputable or not would be to call the licensing entity for that mortgage company. Just about all of the states in the country have a central licensing agency that is responsible for maintaining, monitoring and renewing the licenses of mortgage professionals and mortgage companies. Ask them about the company you are considering doing business with and see if they have any information they can provide to help you with your decision.
The Better Business Bureau is another great resource to check. There is a rating system that grades businesses. You can also view complaints against the company, and see how they handeled the situation.
Taking a little time to check out a company can save you lots of money! Check with the better business bureau, ripoffreport.com and a google search for mortgage fraud and see if you see them listed.
Always make sure the company you are dealing with is licensed in the state your property is located in
Keep in mind that if a mortgage company offers you an interest rate that is too good to be true, it may be a bait and switch. Compare the loan product with and consult other companies. Other mortgage professionals can often identify bait and switch tactics.
On the internet, mortgage companies can be hard to differentiate.
The better business bureau is a good place to start, but keep in mind that the better business bureau is a "paid" organization. That means that a mortgage company can't join unless they pay dues every year. The only requirement to be a member of the better business bureau is to be up to date on your dues. The bbb does not check a company out before letting them join. They just make sure the check clears the bank.
We are one of the few branch companies that doesn't pad our sheets. Anyone care to test lending rate sheets???
Also another good way to check companies is to brush up on the laws and see when companies break them or when they are in the mortgage news with million dollar fines.
10-99 is illegal and so is cobrokering. These 2 are a top anyones laundry list.
