CloseYourOwnLoan.com utilizes an automated underwriting engine powered by Magnolia Bank. The system streamlines the underwriting process by analyzing every aspect of a borrower's qualifications to determine which loan products best meet their needs. Instead of working with a traditional salesperson, borrowers are assigned a Loan Coordinator that guides them through finalizing the process, doing away with sales steering and misinformation. Although this approach makes it easier for consumers to shop for quotes and compare options, we advise prospective borrowers to evaluate their loan offers thoroughly before making a final decision.

Ease of Process - 4.5 / 5

CloseYourOwnLoan.com's mortgage refinance application process can be completed quickly and without great hassles. Borrowers only have to provide their basic loan details to view their interest rate and payment savings. Once they have chosen a loan program and interest rate, they can create an online account and complete their application in as little as five minutes. As soon as the application is submitted, the borrower will be able to print out their loan disclosures and obtain a list of the documents required from them. Finally, once they have gathered and submitted all formal disclosures and necessary documents, they can receive formal approval in 48 to 72 hours. Consumers should be aware that although they can obtain an underwriting decision reasonably quickly through CloseYourOwnLoan.com, actual closing times will depend on the accuracy of the information provided, the loan program being applied for, and other factors such as their availability to communicate with loan officers and notaries.

Great people, low rate and a quick close! I was working with another lender for 2 months when I finally gave up. Magnolia Bank closed my loan in less than 3 weeks at a lower rate than the other lender was offering. Would highly recommend!

I would rate my experience with Close Your Own Loan above and beyond what I expected. They were Easy to work with, quick to reply and very helpful. My experience with the loan closer, Theresa Del Brocco, Magnolia Bank, was also amazing. Theresa was extremely patient and knowledgeable. Theresa was there whenever I called with questions and she would also call and keep me informed where I was in the process. I would rate this experience highly and would definitely recommend (and I have) Close Your Own Loan to others. Thank you, Linda, Denver

I used Close Your Own Loan.com for my last home loan and the entire team of people there were wonderful. The process was quick and easy and I actually was able to close on my new loan earlier than expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home loan. Special thanks specifically to Greg Encarnacion. He was so nice and responded to every question quickly.
