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.

We were looking to refinance our mortgage & a friend recommended we look at Amerisave. They had the best interest rate out of all the other mortgage companies we looked at. So we decided to use them for the refinancing. Had several issues with the initial process that delayed our closing the loan. Finally everything was fixed and after closely reviewing the paperwork we finished the refinancing. After everything was settled my wife & I came into some extra money. Our friend suggested we try to request a recast of our mortgage. I called the company to find out if they did recasts and how I would go about it. The initial representatives were very pleasant & told me who I needed to... Read More

Beware of misleading practices!!!!!! Submitted application with Loan Officer and received approval and was required to pay $500 for loan processing fee and signed disclosures. Appraisal completed and submitted all the required documentation to the portal and was told it would be 45 days to close. After 28 days contacted Loan Originator because we had not heard from him about the scheduled close process. Was told that they were waiting on a couple third party documents and it would be 45 - 60 days to close based on COVID. The following day, we were requested to submit many of the previously submitted documents again. Didn't hear back from LO after multiple attempts in inquire if... Read More

Initial refinance cash out went very smoothly. Paid $500 initial. In fact, no problems mentioned except info from my HOA. The sub helping the agent hadn't followed up but reported I hadn't had it sent. On my own, I followed up and agent said it arrived. By this time the process had run 2 months. Revised disclosures did not match what we'd discussed. He fixed it and said to make sure final was correct. He called last week as underwriter had questions "a few" questions about my condo? 2 months and questions now? Answered them --agent said "fine." Looks like everything is complete. 2 days later I got an email saying loan had been incomplete or was denied. Told to sign into Portal for... Read More

I started working with Amerisave 4 months ago. There was an initial fee of $500, which was not refunded after I got disgusted with them. Their system generates the same email for things daily, even after response. When they requested yet another copy after I had been told my file was clear, and did not respond to request for info on a several thousand dollar amount they wanted to verify (what was the use of the amount), I canceled the process. I am staying with my prior lender and loan.

Amerisave, MILITARY VETERANS BEWARE: I called yesterday and today in hopes of talking to you about my Refi. Hopefully, this e-mail will get to you. I have been working with Amerisave since Nov 2020. However, there were a few hiccups along the way. Nevertheless, in December 2020, while knowing I’d uploaded all requested documents onto Amerisave’s site, I never received any feedback from Amerisave. Periodically, I would call the person who solicited me into doing Refinancing with Amerisave. I’m encountering a possible problem now. Based upon the number of days it usually takes to close on a home, I took a chance and did not pay my current mortgage for the month of Jan 2021. I... Read More

Once I applied for a refinance loan and gave them $500 for the application, I have receive ZERO correspondence and no answers to my emails or phone calls. I receive auto-generate emails daily requesting documentation that I have already provided. My credit rating is over 800 and this is puzzling. I emailed customer service and supposedly management will contact me. They have not.

I am not sure how anyone could give this company a rating of more than 1 I would give them a negative rating if it was an option. I applied for a refi on a piece of rental property I own and after much documentation and over 100 days I withdrew my application. I have a credit score over 800 own a business with revenues over 12 mil/year, have a house with equity equal to twice the amount I was applying for, a commercial building where my manufacturing company resides that is worth over 7 mil and cash in my accounts totaling over 1 mil. I would leave a message for my rep and not get a return call for several days. At the same time I applied for this refi I applied for a refi on my... Read More

Had terrible experience with Amerisave. Rep would never return phone calls or emails at a normal hour and call at strange times like 8:20PM on Friday Night while we were at a High School Football Game. After submitting all requested documents and completing online forms they kept coming back with additional request. Even requested company financials for the C-Corp that I was employed by and of course we could not compel the company to provide financials. Amerisave said they were wanting to make sure that the source of our income would continue....I laughed and said regardless of the company's financial status....just like any employee my employment could be terminated and it would not...
