On XX/XX/XXXX, we made an offer to a house. We started the process with a Loan Officer from XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, he moved to another company, saying that he took our file and he will initiate it with a new company called Colombus Capital Lending LLC, well. Due to his transfer, he never started our file really, and started at Colombus. A commitment letter was sent by the lenders to all the parties. We had to close by first week of XX/XX/XXXX originally. By XXXX he asked for a first extension. We provided him with all the paper work through the whole process. Both parties, sellers and buyers were committed to continue. Extension was for one ( 1 ) more week, by then a second extension was required by the lender. For this second extension the sellers asked for an approval letter from the lender saying if buyers were approved or not. A new commitment letter was provided from the lender with new conditions, this documentations were supplied by us and conditions were covered. By end of XX/XX/XXXX a third extension was ordered. Every week was a different argument or paper needed. Nothing happened in the meantime, file came out of underwriter with a closing discloser sent by lender and signed by us. By XX/XX/XXXX a forth extension was waiting for a clear to close. Three ( 3 ) days before the scheduled closing date, XXXX asked us to pay 2 credit cards ( without interest APR ) and a complete lease of a vehicle to be approved. We paid almost {$6000.00} in payments in addition of course of appraiser and inspection. By XX/XX/XXXX, we received a denial latter because of employment time and accounts with balances. Which could have been easily the reason to deny us at the pre-approval stage, which was on XX/XX/XXXX. Now we have 6000 less plus 5000 of deposits given to the sellers and in jeopardy of losing. We dont recommend neight this two companies, since they both have a history of employees jumping back a forth. Currently, some employees of Colombus capital are in the process of going back to XXXX. If you want an advise? do yourself your homework on the requirements of each mortgage program and work for that, afterwards go to a real bank or a serious, more respectful private lender to start this important step in your lives. If you ask us today how was our experience, even if we had an approval of the loan, it was the most stressful and painful process in our lives. Families buying flight tickets thinking it was " this week that we close ''. Move boxes made. Do your homework before sitting down with someone who most of his/her salary comes from the commision of your loan. Loan officers make up to 3 % of the amount of your loan. Dont trust no one, is a tricky industry.
