Society Mortgage Sw 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale

Ben Creisher was awesome to have as my mortgage broker. He keep a very stressful event of buying a house less stressful. He always called with updates and let me know what was next. I have given his name to others who are looking for homes soon.

Its was a pleasure working with Ben. He made my first time home purchase experience extremely easy. He was always available, didnt mind answering all my crazy questions and even walked me thru removing things from my credit. Provided me with a script told me exactly what to say, which worked wonderfully. I have highly recommeded him to family and friends.

In the top 3 (I should say bottom 3) of my worse experience in my 13 years in real estate. They referred a buyer to another agent and they went under contract on one of my listings. Never did they advise the buyer or her agent that she had a "complex file" We close 6 weeks late and got a lot of run around. Also, they do not move quickly, once one thing was approved, it would take days for the next department to do their part. Giving zero stars was not an option or I would have.

I found CREFCO while doing research on the internet in the quest to obtain a home loan as a first time home buyer. The initial encounter was great, my loan officer Kyle was professional and answered questions in a timely manner. I closed on my dream home 3/31/2016, closing date was originally 3/28/2016. Toward the end the entire experience was a nightmare. Every time there was a document requested of me I sent it within 24 hours. They gave a me a lengthy list and everything was sent only to have the conditions team malinger for 2 weeks and only clearing 3 things off a list of approximately 10 items. My loan processor Jeff was cavalier and seemed somewhat annoyed at times about all the unnecessary paper work that I had to pay to fax repeatedly. In addition he told me maybe the conditions team was busy and backed-up and I should just fax everything directly to him (AGAIN). Lindsay Monzon who was the closer never directly contacted me, never answered any of my calls, and only returned one email that did not include the information I requested about the closing costs. My realtor kept calling and emailing her also with no response, and then once she got hold of her she kept asking who the buyer was. They did not let me know the exact amount to bring to closing so my realtor told me to use the old closing disclosure and wire more than the amount which I did and ultimately got money back from. Closing was initially scheduled for 12 noon and had to be rescheduled to 2pm because they did not send information to the closing attorney by 11 am. By 1pm I still was not certain the closing was going to happen but by God's grace my realtor called me and told me they were ready for me to proceed. I would not recommend CREFCO to my friends, family, or anyone else. Their behavior is self-seeking and is not in the best interest nor do they advocate on behalf of the consumer. I am so glad it is over and I do not have to deal with them further.

After dealing with this company for three months, my husband and I closed on our home on May 3rd, 2016. I did not find the staff, especially Beth Carlin, to be very helpful and definitely did not go out of their way to make this process easier. The only occurrence that the staff was diligent about getting back to us was after I posted a negative review on Google. Most days, it took a dozen phone calls for anyone to respond to us. Our closing date changed six times during the entire process, and the amount to close also fluctuated so many times, that we ended up having to come up with $2,000 more dollars a week before closing. Although, this company did end up pulling it together and we ended up closing, I would still not recommend this company to anyone I know. I realize purchasing a home can be a daunting task, but this company made the process harder than it needed to be. The only positive thing I can say about this company is one member of its staff, Jon Harnish. He tried his hardest to get our loan through and attempted to keep us updated, but once we were transferred into the hands of Ms. Carlin, the process went downhill, quickly.

Chris Brown and John Harnish were excellent through the entire process...The problem was in the closing department, it took longer than anticipated. We were told a date and time then had some issues with communication. All in all I would highly recommend Consumer Real Estate Finance Co.

Ben and Todd were an amazing team. They helped us get our first house and always answered any questions we had. Very knowledgeable and will definitely go back to them in the future.

I am looking to be a first time home buyer, Natalee has been amazing to work with, she’s friendly, knowledgeable, and has been wonderful working with me through my busy schedule to keep my file open while I figure the out my next steps.

Great company to work with. Eric Morhaim was extremely helpful in the home loan process. He stays on top of the loan process, very informative, and easy to reach when I had questions. He made pre qualification quick and easy. I would highly recomend CREFCO to anyone seeking a home loan.

I worked with Taylor Franzi on my home loan. I am very pleased with her and the entire team. Ever single person was friendly and helpful. Buying a a home us a stressful situation but they made it a lot better and explained every step of the process.
