CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION FROM CRE-FINANCE

Mr. Tretsky went on to explain that, "usually complaints against our company are in reference to clients believing that their property should be appraised at a higher value. If complaints like this arise CRE-Finance LLC with offer for an appraisal to be conducted by a third party appraiser. This allows for the client to have a firm understanding of their properties worth from an unbiased source. Complaints can also arise when clients are asked to provide documentation necessary to determine whether or not they qualify for a loan. However, once the proper documentation is provided and the loan can be closed the issues are resolved.”

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Tretsky informed us that some people who inquire services with CRE-Finance LLC believe that they will automatically qualify for a loan, or receive a certain loan amount.

WHY CHOOSE CRE-FINANCE

Choosing a Lender, Broker, or Correspondent Lender

"Maybe you've heard of mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers, but you're not sure what the difference is, or why you'd choose one over the other. Let's explore the differences between lenders and brokers, and also explore a third option -- the correspondent lender.

Lenders

Lenders are banks, mortgage banks, or other financial institutions. These institutions lend their own money. They employ loan officers or other representatives to work with customers and underwriters to process the final loan approval. Underwriting may take place right in the lender's local branch, or at a central location.

Lenders fund your mortgage directly.

Brokers

Brokers don't lend money. They shop your loan around to lenders until they find one to fund your loan. They may do some of the paperwork involved with funding the loan, but the ultimate underwriting approval is done by the lender.v Brokers work with lenders to fund your mortgage.

Correspondent Lenders

Correspondent lenders are almost like a hybrid between lenders and brokers. They can fund your mortgage themselves, or they can get your mortgage funded by a traditional lender. However, even when they send your mortgage out of house for funding, they can complete the underwriting process in-house, giving them more control and quicker turnaround than a broker.

Correspondent lenders may fund your mortgage directly, or by working with other lenders.

Which is better; a lender, broker, or correspondent lender?

The best person is the one who offers the most competitive rate, lowest fees, fastest turnaround on paperwork and approval, and lowest likelihood of botching your deal. Beyond that:

Brokers offer the flexibility of being able to shop multiple lenders at once. But once they send the paperwork to the lender for underwriting approval, they have no control over the process.

Lenders may offer quicker turnarounds since they conduct underwriting themselves. This is not always true for loan officers at national banks -- they often send their underwriting out of town to a central office.

Correspondent lenders are an excellent option, as they combine the flexibility of brokers and the processing speed and control of a lender.”
