Overall Rating: 4.7 / 5 (Excellent)

AmeriSave is a medium-sized non-bank lender, which provides first mortgages and mortgage refinancing. The company offers a full complement of loan products, including low-cost government-backed loans.

Though AmeriSave has had some regulatory problems in the past, its competitive pricing and overall transparency may compensate for these issues.

The company's online portal can provide quotes in under a minute. AmeriSave features a number of calculators and other tools on its website to help homeowners understand how different refinancing scenarios would play out for them.

The company also offers an unusually high level of proactive customer service during the quote process that may make shopping for the best refinancing offer easier for customers.

Loan Variety - 4.5 / 5

AmeriSave offers competitive rates on its mortgage refinance products, which include both government-backed FHA, VA, and USDA loans, as well as conventional and jumbo loans.

Customers can also choose between fixed- and variable-rate loans, though with mortgage rates being near historic lows at the time of this review, many borrowers would be best served by locking in a loan rate while the market is so favorable.

Ease of Process - 5 / 5

AmeriSave makes comparing refinancing scenarios considerably easier than many companies. The company's quote tool returns a wide variety of options and shows you how your monthly payments will change if you decide to pay points upfront. AmeriSave's website features a live chat feature. After you complete the quote process, an AmeriSave representative will reach out via chat and ask you if you need any help understanding your options or continuing with the application process. Such pro-active customer service is unusual in the industry. Speaking with a loan representative in real time, when you have all of your options in front of you on your computer, is a great way to gain insight into the refinancing process. The use of live chat versus telephone contact may be more comfortable and less intrusive for many borrowers.

Customer Service and Reputation - 4.5 / 5

Despite the considerable number of positive reviews AmeriSave has received on online consumer platforms, AmeriSave has had 14 regulatory actions taken against it by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and 599 complaints lodged with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the past three years. Given the size of the company and the number and variety of loans it offers, that record isn't all that bad. Many lenders don't even fare that well. But it does underscore the need for consumers to become extremely well-educated about mortgages before they refinance a property. Many complaints in the mortgage industry can be traced back to misunderstandings about loan approval criteria, lenders' fees, and borrowers' responsibilities once they've taken out a loan.

Please do not use this company. They may be a highly ranked service but that "news" is mot likely bought. We spent 3 months trying to refi with them and it was a complete cluster. Multiple requests for the same docs already provided, turn and burn sales strategies and an apparent lack of knowledge when it comes to tax filings. We had a closing scheduled 3 times and they pulled out at the last second. For this great service, you get to pre-pay a fee.

Amerisave wasted my time. They wouldn't let me speak to person with knowledge about my file. It took them 3 months to tell me they wouldn't do my loan. I spent hours sending the requested documents. I paid $500 to them and did a $450 appraisal. Go with a company that will at least be responsive and not string you along.

I have bought several homes and refinanced several times. This is the worst company I have dealt with. I was told I was getting a 2244 lender credit and closing would cost around 4400 with credits. When it came time to actually close, my costs skyrocketed to 10455. This company is terrible. Most company's allow you to lock a rate. They would not. Emails are very rarely returned. Wish I would have went with my got and a more reputable lender.

This company is terrible. Started application process when rates were well under 3%. Promised good rates and got strung along for two months. Rates are well above 3% now. Still after practically begging for them to lock my rate they never did even though most companies can lock your rate same day of application. I wouldn't hear from loan officer for weeks. I would call her and there was always an excuse. Always a family emergency. I wish I saw the 100 plus bad reviews before I committed to using them. Don't make the same mistake I did. Run! The lame automated response to this review is indicative of their customer service.

I contacted Amerisave 1-6-2021 for a refinance with cash out. I worked with Andrew Conley as my agent and it was basically a seamless experience. Lots of information to gather though. The deal was done and closed and we got our cash 3-2-2021. Our timing was perfect because we got in at 2% APR. We highly recommend Amerisave.

The rate was good and the people were friendly. Their system for signing and submitting documents is garbage . I had to resubmit documents several times and couldn't esign most of them. I fired them for the hassle.

In the first interaction with my loan originator on 11/6/2021 he quoted me a very favorable rate and loan terms. He indicated that I needed to pay the $500 loan origination fee before rates increased to secure the favorable rate and terms. A few days later I accessed the loan estimate and noticed the rate was not locked in as I expected from our initial conversation. He reassured me that the rate was backed by Amerisave's reputation. As of now, Amerisave is not honoring the rate and terms originally presented to me. I allege this behavior (whether knowingly or not) is in violation Wisconsin statute 224.77.1 (b) related to bait and switch. This loan process has been very lengthy after... Read More

Excellent loan officer, very genuine and helpful. It still took 3 months to put the loan together to take to underwriting. They then denied the loan due to the condo association documents just before closing (nothing to do with my income or ability to pay the loan). I'm not sure why they didn't ask for these documents right away. They kept changing the reasoning why they denied the lone and each time I was able to refute their reasoning with facts they were overlooking. I asked them to talk to the homeowner's association manager and they wouldn't even make the phone call. They had made up their mind and refused to reassess their misunderstanding; they then refused to refund the application... Read More

Had the very best experience with Curtis Lewman at Amerisave! He stayed with me through the whole process which actually only took 20 days from beginning to end!The process was easy and Curtis was incredibly patient and helpful with my lack of dexterity uploading needed files! He was available to me day and night! I could not have done it without his help! Ps even though we closed after 20 days only, Curtis is still available to answer questions for me!!!! I don't just recommend very highly to anyone but I have also referred him to friends and family!!!! thank you, Curtis!

I wish I would have read these reviews first before paying my $500 for appraisal. 5 months and they still can't seem to get anything done. I have to do everything for them. NOT a reputable company. Anything over a 1 star review is fake.
