The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Michael Kergosien during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards Michael Kergosien / American Home Free Mortgage.

Michael Kerogosien is a loan officer dedicated to providing interested consumers with the loans they need to obtain their dream homes. He offers a variety of services including financing homes, obtaining loans, refinancing, and purchasing of homes. Mr. Kergosien stated the following about his business model, "we try to stay local. Most of our business is in the local community...we want to grow and we continually want to progress in the area of growth. Our goal is to have as many realtor relationships as we can, reach out to consumers, and serve consumers in the area." Michael Kerogosien obtains leads through several different avenues including referrals from real estate agents, title companies, and consumers. He went on to state, "I would say most of the business we get are from consumers we've helped in the past."

Mr. Kergosien then explained the typical sales process for a consumer working directly with him. The consumer would first need to fill out an application, and they would need to have their credit qualified. Once they have gone through the pre-qualification process the consumer will receive a loan package that describes their particular loan in detail. From that point, "borrower would receive updates on a weekly basis until the load is closed out."

During the onsite interview Mr. Kergosien was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Kergosien expressed that sometimes during the midway process of obtaining a loan they may encounter elements that would affect their loan status. These situations would include losing a job or purchasing a car. Additionally, borrowers sometimes feel the process of obtaining a loan is taking too long. In order to combat this Mr. Kergosien makes sure to effectively communicate with his clients, "when given the opportunity...I would explain to the consumer the reasoning behind the extra time it's taking...9 times out of 10 if I explain the situation a little better they have a better understanding."

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Kergosien stated that all comments placed on the website are false, and potentially filed by an ex-employee. In order to further assure future and current clients Mr. Kergosien is licensed through the state of Texas, and is audited every year. If a consumer files a complaint with his services it is handled through the state. Additionally he stated, "I've always had a good rating with the Better Business Bureau, and I'm approved with HUD."

When asked what type of changes he has made to honor his commitment to make things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Kerogosien stated, "I now try to emphasize the closing costs. I try to make sure they understand the interest rates of closing costs...I provide them with complaint information if they ever have a complaint." Michael Kergosien is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "It means a lot.

#1 Consumer Comment

Did you refi or obtain a new mortgage this year?

AUTHOR: MovingForward - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, October 23, 2010

I am assuming you are referring to a new mortgage or a refinance this year, 2010. New regulations were passed to stop the lender from doing exactly what you describe (changing rates and terms). There were lots of changes that have gone into effect beginning Jan 1 2010 to protect the borrower from the lender misquoting the fees.

The lender has to notify you in writing when you make application of each and every fee you are going to pay on a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). The lender has a time limit of 3 days to provide that estimate to you from the time you make application. At the closing the fees on the HUD1 (closing statement) have to match the GFE  - or if they vary, there is an extremely small amount allowed - or the lender has to pay the difference.

Sounds like your fees differed by a large amount, report the lender RESPA violations here:

United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
Office of RESPA and Interstate Land Sales
451 7th Street, SW, Room 9154
Washington, D.C. 20410

If you feel you may not be able to accurately report the violation, get an attorney that specializes in real estate and RESPA violations to help you. Bring all of your documentation from your application to your closing statement. For more details, search the terms: RESPA and new HUD1 2010

Please note: some lenders are getting away with some of these violations because they do not provide the Good Faith Estimate. They provide something called a Closing Costs Worksheet. When you are obtaining a mortgage, make sure you get the Good Faith Estimate so you have an accurate estimate of your costs and can compare your costs with various lenders.
