Overview

New American Funding operates 200+ physical locations in 31 states and offers its online service to the rest (except for New York and Hawaii). It offers a large suite of mortgage products, including conventional fixed-rate and adjustable home loans, as well as government-backed FHA and VA loans.

Suitable For?

New American Funding caters to all types of borrowers, but where it really stands out is with its assistance to first-time buyers and the Latino community. Its agents speak English and Spanish. More broadly, it is also active in addressing challenges Hispanic people face in achieving home ownership. New American has programs to help first time buyers and works with state down-payment assistance programs in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Loan Features

Loan types include:

New American Funding offers: conventional fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, and jumbo loans; government-backed FHA, VA, and HARP loans; special home-improvement and interest-only loans; and cash-out refinances and reverse mortgages.

Features include:

  • Option of paying only interest each month for a fixed introductory term of up to 5-10 years. This gives the borrower the flexibility of being able to pay toward the principal loan amount at a time of their choosing rather than being obligated to pay a fixed monthly amount. 

  • Cash-out refinance and reverse mortgage both offer ways to tap into home equity to get cash. A reverse mortgage is a special government-backed program for borrowers aged 62 or older. A cash-out refi involves retiring your existing mortgage and taking out a new one for an amount larger than you currently owe. The excess between your old loan’s outstanding balance and new balance is paid to the borrower in cash.

The Application Process

Interested borrowers can begin a loan application by requesting an online quote or contacting New American Funding by phone, email, or at one of its locations. Borrowers can get prequalified online but must be approved by a loan agent to get access to the online application. Home loans close in an average time of less than 30 days.

New American Funding’s process involves 5 steps:

  • Pre-approval, in which the borrower provides documentation on income, assets, expenses, and credit. A loan officer then decides if the borrower can be approved for a specific loan amount.

  • An official offer is sent to the borrower, detailing purchase price, down payment, loan amount, deposit, and terms and conditions.

  • The borrower hands over a deposit or opening escrow.

  • The application moves to the underwriter, who reviews the file and decides whether to give a final stamp approval.

  • New American wires the funds.

Rates and Terms – The Bare Basics 

Loan amounts range from small mortgages to super jumbo loans. The minimum down payment varies depending on type of loan. Government-backed programs such as FHA and VA loans offer lower down payments, as well as loans for first-time home buyers who recieve special assistance.

Borrowers must:

  • Be aged 18 or more.

  • Be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

  • Have good credit for a conventional loan, or fair credit for some government-backed loans.

Repayment Terms

New American doesn’t reveal any rates on its website. To find out what rate you prequalify for, borrowers may request a rate online or speak to a loan agent in person, by phone, or by email.

Loan lengths vary from 15-30 years for fixed-rate loans, to 5-10 years for adjustable-rate mortgages.

Help & Support

The Better Business Bureau gives New American Funding an A+ rating for the overwhelmingly positive feedback it has received from customers. 

Loan agents can be contacted by the following methods:

  • Toll-free number

  • Email

  • At any of the 200+ branches in 31 states

Summary

New American Funding offers a full suite of conventional and government-backed mortgages, with extra support for:

  • First-time buyers

  • Minorities

  • Retirees

  • High-net worth buyers. 

It started out as a family business and has stayed true to its roots, maintaining its independence and prioritizing a high level of customer service. Customers can apply for and manage their loans online, by phone, or in person, for maximum convenience and flexibility.

Noah Ortiz was not licensed in the state of Missouri at the time these documents were produced. Noah Ortiz produced a FHA loan in Sabrina Koehler’s name, September 29, 2020. Ava Fulton produced a loan in Arthur Jennewein’s name,November 29, 2020. Both for the amount of 151,954.00 total of 3 FHA loans as shown from New American Funding website. Brittany Aguelles' email November 3, 2020 stated the Note was damaged when in fact the note was never signed or agreed. March 2022 new American Funding sent the Missouri attorney general’s office a document stating that it was a Note we signed. March 2023 New American Funding sent Midland Mortgage a Note with different signatures as shown in the documentation. As shown in the documents provided I have sent new American funding documents showing clear evidence. June 2021 email questioning Noah Ortiz about the situation, Noah Ortiz stated Sabrina Koehler was added later, the reason being not married. Sabrina Koehler was added later, how is the loan dated 2 months apart with Arthur’s loan November 2020 and Sabrina Koehler September 2020? July 2020 is the date they have on the addendum only in Arthur Jenneweins name Stating he was married, he worked at John smith, documents are robotic signatures. He did not work at John Smith at the time. He was not married. Stating the no cash out refinance was due to a bona fide financial crisis. I have attached a September 2020 statement showing we were ahead 2 payments until November 2020. No payments were ever missed, we were never in any financial crisis nor did we ever state we were in any situation of financial distress. As shown in the document provided In fact we both were not working at the time both receiving unemployment due to Covid 19. New American funding received forbearance money Covid cares act filing form 4023F with the irs 2020 tax documents. I believe the information from November 2019 was used As you can see the dates 9-29-2020 Sabrina Koehler loan and Arthur Jennewein loan 11-29-2020. Arthur’s Jennewein name was removed from the original loan dated November 2019. I have sent proof of new American funding using unsafe methods including naf technology open source software and projects to hack into my ip address. I have more information and documents I am more than happy to provide, I am not the only person they have done this to the federal government has been made aware New American Funding has been fined by the federal authorities and have been charged in court for the same reason as I have provided evidence of this is ongoing. Underwriting as many FHA loans as possible for issuance payments including modification of documentation and information other than provided or not provided to new American Funding.

If I could give zero stars
If I could give zero stars, that would be accurate. I was outright lied to by my lending officer, Tommy. He never told me that I wasn’t approved for a 30 year mortgage, but a 20 year mortgage!! Who does that? The payment would have been astronomical!!! I only found out because I was asking questions to apply for the down payment assistance program that he and I had discussed from the beginning and suddenly he tells me that he can’t help me apply for that! What?!! That was a shock! I found out that regular mortgage representatives at NAF CANNOT help with First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Programs. I wound up having to transfer to another loan officer at NAF who was “an approved Lender” and could help me get the down payment assistance!! Tommy never even apologized until I directly called him out for not telling me about the 20 year mortgage approval and for not telling me that he couldn’t help me get the Down payment assistance. He actually had the nerve to tell me that “You don’t need the $10-15K” oh really? I should turn down a $10-15K down payment assistance program? Who the hell does this guy think he is trying to DECIDE that for me!! When I started the mortgage approval process there were over 40 condos on the market that I could have afforded. Because of Tommy’s incompetence and then having to move my mortgage application to Ron, another loan officer Ron at NAF, who dragged his feet and was unavailable most of the time, ALL of those condos in my area are now pending or under contract!!! So, I can’t buy a home now. Thank god I can stay with my Mom because now I can’t buy a home! NAF is the WORST!!

They are very slow to respond
They are very slow to respond, vague about the process and qualifiers and not very helpful. Avoid. All they do is waiste time and do the bare minimum. The reply saying she was diligent based on your review of records demonstrates for me that yall be slow to respond to everyone. Look at the initial contacts I had with her and how long it took for information only not to really receive it. Absolutely unacceptable and I feel the reply is not based in fact and just to save face without addressing legitimate concerns. Also, I spoke with a few mortgage companies before narrowing it down to one and this has been the worst experience and the only mortgage company I felt inclined to leave a negative review on. I hope that resonates and yall do better.

Closed in 20 days….the loan officer made the difference.
We shopped around and had a tight timeline for closing; 20 calendar days and New American Funding came through. I think it was really the loan officer Shy Lee that made it work as he watched over it daily, rapidly communicated even on his cell phone during off hours, and gave me prompt heads up when things were in my queue. Closing in this tight window isn’t an easy feat and doing so in the state of Connecticut when you’re required to use attorneys is unheard of. Shy gets my 10 star review.

My loan advisor, James Mateer, did an excellent job explaining things to me and keeping me informed throughout the entire loan process! Jennifer Vo was also involved in the process. This was a refinance, but even with my original loan, the representatives from New American Financing have shown that I was not just another person seeking a loan, but cared about my needs and how to best serve me.

Robby Goudeseune: Turning Homeownership Dreams into Reality
I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Robby Goudeseune from New American Funding. From the moment I embarked on my journey to secure a home loan, Robby stood out as an exemplary professional who not only met but exceeded all expectations. Navigating the process of securing a home loan can often feel overwhelming, but with Robby by my side, it was an incredibly smooth and positive experience. Robby demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and knowledge in the field, guiding me through every step of the way with unwavering patience and a genuine commitment to my best interests. He took the time to explain complex financial concepts in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that I fully understood each aspect of the loan process. Whether through phone calls or emails, Robby never hesitated to address any questions or concerns I had. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Robby to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable loan officer. His commitment to excellence and genuine concern for his clients' success make him an invaluable asset. I am truly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Robby Goudeseune and consider myself fortunate to have had him on my team.

They want to do a complete colonoscopy before they can give you the first indication of what their charges and interest rates will be. I hate to expose tax returns, account numbers, RE assets, and ownership's, to an ON LINE entit, and a company which I had never heard, before. And then to find out they had already changed their name because of the trouble they go into in Mass. 37% of the reviews were extremely negative. I have bought and sold personally 50 properties in my life and no one has ever asked for as much information before quoting a range of costs and rates.

Unprofessional and Disrespectful Mortgage Specialist - Wayne Leonard
I had the misfortune of dealing with Wayne Leonard NMLS #1066059 from New American Funding. My interactions with him left me utterly appalled by his behavior. The level of rudeness and arrogance he displayed throughout our communications was beyond belief. Right from the start, it was clear that Wayne had no interest in treating me as a valued customer. His condescending tone and dismissive attitude made it virtually impossible to have a productive conversation. Any attempts to ask questions or seek clarification were met with interruptions and a complete lack of patience. What truly crossed the line was when Wayne actually hung up on me during one of our calls. He then lied about it in a email when I called him out for his behavior. This blatant act of disrespect and unprofessionalism left me in disbelief. It's astonishing that someone in a role meant to assist and guide customers through a complex process could behave in such a disgraceful manner. The way Wayne Leonard conducted himself throughout our interactions was a disheartening reminder that some individuals prioritize their own ego over providing quality customer service. Anyone considering New American Funding and Wayne Leonard NMLS #1066059 should seriously reconsider their choice. There are countless other mortgage specialists who understand the importance of respect, courtesy, and professionalism.

NAF is the Daddy of all Mortgage Companies
New American Funding has held our Mortgage for a few years now and we just refinanced. Loan closed on 08/2/2023. NAF is Dedicated to homeowners and faithful to their profession. If you want integrity, diligence, dedication and honesty to work on your behalf, New American is your huckleberry. I recommend Coddi Dean, a professional seasoned Loan Officer that will stick with you before, during, and long after becoming part of NAF. I have five sisters, all homeowners, three of us, are grafted into the NAF Family with others joining. Five Stars across the board. NAF understands the process, even if you don't and by the time it's said and done, you will too. NAF is a God send.

If I could rate a 0 I would. Paid my escrow shortage in full and my payment was to be calculated to a specific rate, it wasn’t and I can’t seem to get anyone to correct it, now my payment is a $80.00 a month higher than it should be. I was very happy with this company until the brand changed now the service sucks! Had an insurance claim check and I could barely get anyone who spoke clear enough English I could understand.. Stay away from this company their a rip off. Support your country “Buy American”, New India Funding would be a better fit.

Terrible- RUN FAST
Terrible- RUN FAST! This experience has been the WORSE and we have bought 8 homes! To make things worse we are RETURNING Customers, but I should have looked at the latest reviews because this company has gone downhill! We were supposed to close a couple of weeks ago. The day before closing I get told the underwriter will not accept the appraisal - there is NOT a 2nd kitchen there is a wet bar- there is NO place to cook! I was told they would not let it go under FHA so we had to go conventional. My real estate agent said Alejandro (loan originator) told her he would buy down the rate if needed but nothing would change so she told him then let's do it.... I was never informed the rate or fees would go up -NOT once- matter of fact I continued to ask for information and a new closing date and received no response. The insurance asked when are we closing- I replied ALL - I would like to know also because I keep asking with no response. He finally responded to the ALL email with Wed (then said like I told you last week- I never got that message)- the only information coming is from my agent (she told me Wed). The seller's agent was told it wouldn't go past Wed so he told the sellers we would close no later than Wed (so my lease is going up to $250 a day because of this FALSE information, btw I have to lease because we didn't close 2 weeks ago like promised). I was sent paperwork late Monday night with NEW numbers that I was NEVER told about. It said if I don't sign (late Monday night) then we can't close on Thursday- we never discussed Thursday (the sellers flew down for a Wed close). Now that I am being IGNORED so now it will be Friday or Monday. I called the VP Hector because I was promised a phone call all day Tuesday so after 2:30 I left a voicemail- nothing so I emailed. I finally got a call but the day was wasted! Needless to say Hector did NOTHING to help! He could have cared less that I was given no communication and lies were issued! RUN-do NOT USE this company. I am not paying a percent higher and MORE FEES because of their inability to get things done! It is very unprofessional to send something late on Monday night that is TOTALLY DIFFERENT and expect them to just suck it up and agree. I immediately texted Alejandro and he said he didn't know he would have to look at it in the morning. I told him I am not signing because I didn't agree! He said he thought disclosures were sent the previous week -well they were NOT sent -if they were why didn't he call me to ask why I wasn't signing them? It is because nothing was sent! This has been the worst experience ever and I have bought several houses! Since we are not closing tomorrow after Alejandro promised everyone- I have to pay $250 a day on a house (to lease it). This is totally unacceptable- we were NEVER closing on Wednesday I didn't get numbers/email until Monday night late! I am so tired of being lied to and ignored by a company I have done business with before- is this how you treat customers - especially repeat customers?

Do yourself a favor and stay far away…
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. We approached them about refinancing a mobile home on a permanent foundation and after submitting the initial required documents we were told that we were well qualified for the amount of money we were asking. We quickly recd an invoice for an appraisal ($575) which we paid and signed the initial disclosure forms. Then the requests for the odd bits of information began. They wanted a signed letter of explanation as to why our income was more now than it was the previous year. Then we were told that we would have to provide a structural engineer’s report certifying the foundation. When we called Chris (the loan officer) and told him that we would not willing to pay for this he told us he could change our loan from an FHA to a conventional loan to avoid that. When I asked why we had not been set up on a conventional loan to begin we he indicated that this was an error on his part, he had not initially understood that we would qualify for a conventional loan. Loan disclosure forms were modified and re-signed. There were issues with a line on our home owners insurance policy that they wanted changed so I tried to put our insurance agent in touch with them. Our agent indicated that she was trying to reach someone to understand exactly what was needed and at the same time we were getting emails from New American telling us that they could not get a response from our insurance agent and for us to “call them one more time”. We were then told that since we lived on a private road we would have to have an attorney draw up a private road maintenance agreement and have all of the residents on the road sign it and submit it. We told them that we had a Covenant agreement on the property that covered the road maintenance and submitted a copy of it to them. We were told multiple times that this was not enough at which point we told Chris that we would just stop the process of the loan because we were not going to do this and had decided that we did not want to do business with New American going forward. He called us back shortly and stated that he had spoken with his managers and that there had been some misunderstanding, the Covenant agreement we had was fine and that if we wanted we could move on toward closing. We agreed to give them another chance. We were told that we were still on track for a mid July closing. A little over a week later I recd a phone call while at work, Chris indicated that the underwriter was questioning the Covenant agreement and said it did not state who was responsible for the private road maintenance. I asked him if he had read it because it clearly stated in the agreement how the road maintenance was to be handled. I asked him why this was coming back up again a week before we were supposedly going to be closing this loan and asked him to call us back that night after we were home from work. My husband told Chris again that we had reached a point where we didn’t feel like we could trust anything we were being told and that we wanted to just stop the process. Chris called us back the next day indicating that once again, everything had been taken care of, it was all a “great misunderstanding” and we could move forward if we desired. We were told that everything was worked out, the private road issue, the insurance issue, and if we would sign the final disclosure forms that day (Friday) then we would most likely be closing the next Wednesday. We agreed to do this, signed the forms and hung up. Then Chris called Monday indicating that the appraisal had indicated that we had a new roof on the home and that the underwriters wanted information about the roof. We told him that we had never put a new roof on the home and had no idea where that came from since we had told him one of the main reasons for refinancing was to put a new roof on the home. We looked at the appraisal and there was no indication in the report that we had a new roof, it actually indicated that the roof had approximately 2 years of life left on it. Chris said that he would check back with the underwriters. Today, the day before we were to supposedly be closing on this loan, Chris called back again and told us that now they were going to need a structural engineering report because of the front porch that was built onto the home when it was purchased new. I think that we may now have finally got the point across to Chris that we are not interested in dealing with him or New American Funding and hopefully he understands that we are not to be contacted by anyone from this business again as we now fully understand how incompetent and untrustworthy they are. Edited to add, I forwarded the requested information but did not speak to anyone as I had no desire to speak to anyone from this company. Today we recd a refund for what we paid for the appraisal which I consider a decent move on their part.

Totally devastated!
This company truly crushed my dreams and hopes. Got approved for a home loan. Found a home put offer and earnest money. Paid appraisal fee. Could not close on home normal 30 days as it had to be extended due to owners not being able to move. So our loan officers are Chris and Elisa. They had almost 60 days to close my loan on time. Over amount of normal time for loan officers. Those almost 60 days were pure hell. They constantly lost documents that had already been sent. After sending documentation and after resending same documentation over and over again, I was getting mentally drained. They questioned my own money in my own bank account that I transferred out my to husband through Venmo towards our down payment. They wanted to know where my money was sourced from or could not use it towards payment in my husbands account towards funds to close. This is our own hard money earned and we can’t use it for closing?? I gave them 2 years access twice to my bank account and they still wanted me to send the same documents they already had lol. 100s of emails and resending documents. Have every single email sent and received. Then they went from my estimated amount to close was 27,000 to almost 34,000. I was told by Chris this is normal and to sign because it will be around the actual estimate of 27,000. That was a big fat lie. We still were actually gonna go through with this. We rented a uhaul and left our apartment. Drove 300 miles to be ahead of time to wire money and close. Ha ha closing got pushed back a day. Got the closure document to sign. All signed and sent back. We thought we were clear to close and were told we could wire money and close the very next day. Guess what another lie. We wired money and found out we still could not close that they needed more documentation. Guess what they needed? Our 2022 tax return. How on Gods green earth was that lost???? Then they needed our 2021 and 2022 to be pulled from IRS. All this after closing paper was signed and money wired. Husband needed to get back to work and still no definite closing date. Lots of money on hotels and renting a uhaul. Over 60 days of torture and I was done. I was close to a break down and I’m a strong woman. This company crushed my spirit and dreams to be reunited with my family after a devastated Hurricane last September in Florida. We had had enough and decided how could we trust this company with our mortgage if we ever did close. Please do not read all those positive reviews as no way can they be legit. I’m sure this company wouldn’t do the right thing if the man down below came to them, said you’re gonna go down under if you don’t switch this around. Heartbreaking.

Regrets
Regrets! Warning! Do not recommend. Felt Pressure and coherence to use program. I really wanted to like this program. The only good thing from this program is that it appears to be a "cash offer". They made it sounds very simple and easy but beware! There are lots of hidden fees and agenda. First of all, this program is meant for those who have a home to sell and is buying a home at the same time. This was not the case for me. I am a regular home buyer customer, no home to sell. Anywho, with this program, there will be two transactions occurring at one time. Between NAF CASH and the seller and NAF CASH and yourself. **PROTECT yourself and add a financial and appraisal contigency in your loan with NAF. -For a cash offer, they require home inspection and desk top appraisal. Double check your original offer letter between NAF cash and the seller, because in fine print, it mentions buyer and sellers agent commission may be on hold until the offer is submitted. *they told us, they gave us the wrong document document. Luckily this was caught by the sellers agent. -This company will treat you with bias off the back because they've previously dealt with customers who've they paid cash for their home and those customers were unable to fulfill their loan agreement. Workers constantly remind you of this. -They have workers from all over the US. The company does not appear in sync with one another. There is no passion and compassion for home buying. It's just another transaction to them. Lots of miscommunication. -Company believes in due diligence period where they can back out of an offer during a certain time period, this is not allowed in every state. It feels like they will try to find ways to back out of your loan and cause you to pay more. - They will stress you the f*** out! NAF CASH says they are only concern with large home repairs if found during the inspection but NAF workers will tell you your loan will not go through, even though there was no inspection contingency. - NAF does a desk top appraisal and will quote your home value lower and incorrectly. This will cause you to use more money out of pocket to ensure there is less money out of theirs. (Not disclosed early). - There is a 3% Earnest money requirement and 1.8% service fee. (At this rate, you're better off offering 1.8% more using a conventional or VA loan, save the headache, time, and money) -You are expected to pay rent on your future home until you can close your loan between NAF CASH and yourself. (Not disclosed or explained thoroughly at time of agreement or on their initial service agreement document. Please ask for more information if it is not clear to you. -They originally told me we can close the secon loan between NaF and myself on the same day or next, this was not true. Your lender will need an in-person appraisal which will take at least 1-2 weeks thus causing you to pay rent to NAF cash longer. (Ex. On a 500k home, your rent is $3,500/month, prorated at $117/day. You are also required to get renters insurance. You will pay rent for each day that you live in that home until your loan with NAF closes. -Red flags: limited documents about the program given to customers prior to your service agreement with NAF Cash. They will not share a copy of their power point slide or recording of their "educational meeting" with you. It's one thing after another with this company. This company is like a timeshare,it felt like a SCAM! Save yourself the headache, heartache, and your money and just put down a little bit more if you can. Honest review/opinion of a once a upon a time emxcited home buyer.

Asked for help instead received unsolicited advice
I have a unique situation and I was calling to see if New American Funding could assist me. Instead the representative was being a disrespectful jerk and did not answer my question. He said “Well what did the other lenders say?” “Why don’t you just sell?” “I can pull your credit report for you so you know your score.” That is not why I called your company. I called because someone referred my to your company because they stated you handle a little bit of different qualification requirements. All he had to say was “Unfortunately, we can not assist you in this situation because of this…” Then I would have had the answer to my question and went on my way. I am sure because I am black he assumed I was ignorant and had no clue what I was talking about.(You can tell by my name that I am a minority or a simple Google of my name will show you a picture of me.) I have dealt with a number of racist people in my life that I know when people are treating me a certain way because of my race. I did not call New American Funding and ask “Do you think I should sell my home?” or “This is what lenders told me, what should I do?” or “What is my credit score? How do I access this thing you call a credit score???” I asked if you could help me and all you had to say was “No” and explain why. In conclusion I will add that this was my perception of why the conversation went the way it went. I still never got the answer of why they couldn’t help me. If you want to be made to feel stupid, receive unsolicited advice or get this thing called a credit score then this is the company for you!

This was the only company that would help me
This was the only company that would even consider me for a refinance because my credit score wasn’t the best. I went to many other companies who made all kinds of promises, but couldn’t deliver. The closing costs were a little higher, but the benefits way exceeded the costs. I think you have to find the best lender for your situation, and in my case, they truly came through when no one else would. I was losing hope before I found this company and I can’t thank you enough!!

Several of our home-buying experiences have been living nightmares. Not so with New American. We had to jump through the typical hoops in our loan application but after that things seemed to run on automatic. We've always dealt with Quicken and Rocket in the past, but I believe we have a new go-to for home loans. Thanks. It was a great experience.

Get it in writing.
Get it in writing. I recently purchased a home using New American Funding. I informed the mortgage broker that I wanted to move the property into an LLC in the future in order to rent out the property on occasion. The broker told me it was no problem and provided a link to their website that laid out the exact process I needed to follow. The process stated I needed to wait 12 months before moving the property. I waited the appropriate time and reached out their customer service team to facilitate the move into the LLC. I was informed that they do not allow such a transfer without triggering the assignment clause (allows the mortgage company to call your loan). I pointed out the documentation on their site that was in conflict with this position. I was informed that they do not support this and they immediately took down the link on their site. I feel they misrepresented their ability to support my needs just to get the loan closed. If you have any special requirements like this, get it in writing. They still may not honor it but you will have recourse.

Chase Dupree is the BEST!!
Chase Dupree was my loan officer, and always communicated and answered my questions promptly. I had concerns about credit score and ended up going FHA. I had a lot of ups and downs selecting the right house, settled on one in Alabama, and right before closing my workplace changed my ability to leave the state. I then changed to looking for a home in Florida. It took months and several contracts and inspections to find one with minimal issues that had things I wanted. Chase was with me answering questions throughout the whole process. I could not ask for a better person to work with. If you are not sure if you can do it, just give it a shot. New American Funding was recommended to me through credit karma, and I was skeptical, but now so happy to own my own home again and not be renting!! Thank you Chase Dupree and New American Funding!

This has been the worst experience of…
This has been the worst experience of my life. Ignore the fake reviews, NAF is an absolute scam and has ruined my life. I was only supposed to put down 90k, ended up putting down 118k. I was supposed to get a 7k rebate for using them as a preferred lender. 5k towards house, the remaining towards first months mortgage. I am out of the country for work all the time. I will pay online, then two weeks later the money will be returned for an error. I have more than enough in my account and provided them bank statements. paid over the phone, and found out the account number wasnt correct. They change it, and i pay online bf heading out of country. Find out it was never changed, my money returned and take a huge hit on my credit score. I call and make payment over the phone and demand this be disputed, they say ok and after three times calling have never been provided w the dispute form. Also, they said the 2k was put towards lowering my apr rate months afterwards. I was approved at a lower apr rate already! I only used NAF for the 7k preferred lender rebate. As of now, my credit has been ruined, never got back the 2k that i was told would go to first payment. Also, i said i only want to pay at closing the essentials not the extra features, i find out through another realestate agent that i was absolutely conned and paid for so much extra stuff that was pointless. I was completely scammed, now have to hire attorney to fix my credit. As someone in my 30s, finished school w masters, has a solid job, do not use this company. It has literally ruined my life. The 7k preferred lender rebate is not worth it!

One bad apple doesn't always spoil the bunch!
What made it great was the eventual outcome which is the fact that my family now has nice home to grow up in and their friends will be able to come over without them being embarrassed about where they live. That being said I have nothing but respect for Mr. Rodriguez even in my moments of frustration and anger with the underwriter he kept his calm and treated me with respect. He treated me like he would expect to be treated and that was very considerate of him. He could have just written me off and went on about his day with his next client but he didn't! He refused to give up even when I had given up on ever getting the house. He went above and beyond in my opinion even working with my realtor to help make things happen for us. I really feel that sometimes people should step back and look at a situation for what it really is and not what they think it is by numbers written on paper or typed up online. I feel he did that and was able to see on both sides of the fence at the same time and understood what was going on in my situation. He really took the brunt of my frustration with underwriting a couple of times and I truly hope he accepts my apology for being a jerk a couple times. Now as for the underwriter on my application I honestly don't know how she was ever even hired for the job if she doesn't even know how to read a checkstub for one and for two wants to argue about laws and documentation that she knows nothing about. That's a different person and no fault of his so I'm going to leave that as it lays because nobody is going to steal my happiness at this point. It's done and over with and I hope I never have to deal with someone like her again...In closing I would like to say, Thank you Jose for all the work hours you put in to this and for giving us your undivided attention when we needed you the most. You have made one family in Texas very very happy....You're an amazing person and I hope you continue to prosper in the years to come with your career and at home as well! 🏅🎉

Best part of this company was how streamlined the process was and my agent Cesar Zarate was always reachable and available to find out answers to our intricate questions, which proves that he knows what he is doing and is humble enough to go ask someone else who knows the answer instead of just making something up. I appreciate straight forward, honest and compassionate agents. We would have been able to close on our house within 22 days because of how efficient NAF is,(the seller actually held up the closing process) I highly recommend NAF and Cesar Zarate.

The best home buying experience Ever!!!!
New American Funding has really great agents working to support you through one of the most important moments of your life. My husband and I came into the process expecting to take our time. We ended up finding the home we wanted rather quickly. Although, we weren’t quite ready for what was to come. Mr. Miranda walked us through each step so smoothly, he communicated extremely well, he believed in us even when things got a little sticky, he always remained positive. Buying a home is one of the most important decisions ever made. However, having a team like NAF supporting you makes the buying process that much greater! Edwin Miranda is the best in the business and I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking to purchase a home! Remember these two words EDWIN MIRANDA!!!!!!!!!

Name on the home.
The main reason we wanted to refinance is to put my name on the house as my husband wasn't well. (It was all he could do to get through the paper signing). This was in August 21,2021 and he wanted to make sure I would be OK. He passed away 6 months later. They said they could not put me on the loan because of my credit. There are no hard inquiries on my credit report from them. They told me not to worry. They will put it in a Trust which we believed to be like how my moms home was put in a Trust. To me is deceiving especially if you're not a specialist in underwriting. My daughter in law is. She explained what they did. She also told me there is no reason I couldn't have been put on the title. I recently found out that there was never a HOA disclose to any owner on this property since they were built. The person over it will not turn the water on so this place is going to hell and I can't do anything about it because my names not on it. The hell this has caused me. Exactly what my husband was trying to protect me from. New American Funding services the loan. Fannie Mae owns it. Had we known this. He would have put it in a Revocable Trust. The calendar on this site won't isn't working when it asks date of service.

My refi was quick and painless all thanks to my Loan Officer Korbin. He was quick to respond to any questions, guided me step by step through the process and consistently followed up on all my questions. It was because of his friendliness and communication that I decided to go with NAF. My refi was efficient and only took about a month to be completed and funded. I highly recommend Korbin if you’re looking for someone that’s responsive and supportive through the process. This was challenging because I needed to refi to pay off debt and improve my credit score so even though the rates are higher than my previous loan it was what I needed to gain financial stability and I appreciate the ease of this experience.

NAF LEFT US HOMELESS
THIS is going to be a long one. I started with New American Funding on February 14th, 2023. We were selling our FL home and buying in KY. THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE and NAF should be ashamed; ashamed because they left me, my husband, our son with autism, and our 6 dogs homeless for 5 days AFTER they reassured me they could close our KY home on time. Let's start with the promise: I reached out to C and said "Are you sure you can close by March 14th because I have another mortgage company (CARRINGTON) that will." She assured me they would. First lie. Then, I told them I would bring 100k TOTAL to the closing and we would back into the down payment after costs; they said that was fine. At the final close, they upped the closing money to over 107k DESPITE THE FACT THAT FHA DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT LARGE OF A DOWN ON A $299K home. As things didn't progress, I reached out to RA and he referred me back to customer service. During all of this, I was stipped, stipped, and stipped again. I was stipped to explain why I wanted to move to KY? Why I took money out of my checking account? THEN we were assigned to C in customer service. I kept reminding him (I have every email) that we would be homeless and he kept responding with more stips. When we closed on our house in FL on the 17th, we were officially homeless. To add insult to injury, he and the underwriter sent me an email STIPPING ME FOR MORE DOCUMENTATION because I refused to send ALL of my FL proceeds from the sale of our home to their title company and they would SO KINDLY send ME BACK the overage after we closed (with no closing date in my future). We needed that money to live on while we waited for New American Funding to decide they would close on our loan. This cost us and extra $1200 for the week AND an incredible amount of stress (for anyone that has a child with autism, you will understand this!!). This whole 2 month process was horrible. A light at the end of the tunnel: I saved every email and text from this company and their representatives. I reached out to news channels in EVERY state they do business in and I was surprised to know that this is a newsworthy story. I have submitted all of the emails and texts and people want to hear my story!! I will reach out to every news agency I can find so this doesn't happen to anyone ever again. I also reached out to the Federal Housing Administration and they are very interested in the enhanced stipping I was given when I refused to send the proceeds to their title company and was told I would "get the overage refunded to me at closing." Again, I DID NOT HAVE A CLOSING DATE. When I again reminded C and C I would be homeless, their response was "make other arrangements." PLEASE, PLEASE do not get your mortgage with New American Funding; they are heartless and will leave you in peril as we were. My son has a history of bolting when he is stressed; this was the ultimate stressor for him (and us!!). There are better options!! I waited so long to post because I have already seen what they do when you don't do what they demand. I will be refinancing as quickly as I can. I have every document/email/text and, if you'd like to see them, respond and we can connect.SEE NEW AMER FUNDING REPSONSE BELOW. IT WAS THE VP OF CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO DID ALL OF THIS TO ME!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!

This company is based on false knowledge non stop and is a waste of time. I was repeatedly given inaccurate information, false hope and lost several thousand dollars due to workers inconsistent knowledge of a loan process. The money I lost was in a home inspection and appraisal after I was given a pre approval and moved to the next phase of the loan but nope NAF messed up very badly with this loan and I lost the house the worker I dealt with at the end was a complete non empathetic person with no concern that I lost 10000 due to lack of competent employees from all over in NAF please if you can do not work with this lender they don’t care about me why would they care about you plus you have better options I know you do please run!!

Our refi was quick and painless all thanks to our Loan Office Adam. He was quick to respond to any questions, showed us step by step the process, and had great follow through. He was the reason we went with NAF. Our refi took roughly 4 weeks from start to finish. I would highly recommend Adam as your loan officer. You cannot go wrong.

My loan officer Marti was great
My loan officer Marti made the process not so scary. She gave me confidence when I needed it, and walked me through every step of the process. My loan officer was caring, thoughtful and very informative and professional

Had a wonderful experience with Aaron Jones. Would highly recommend! We closed on our house in 2-weeks time. Record breaking. Of course we were prompt with uploading information, but the NAF team was wonderful, and easy to speak with.

The worst experience ever dealing with…
The worst experience ever dealing with this company. It took two weeks to get the "review board to look at the application and documents". Then was sent a email stating we were pre-approved for a home loan. We were over the moon excited!!! Then the next day I get an email that they recently passed a new policy and that we were not qualified and gave suggestions on how to apply elsewhere. Very disappointed!!!

NAF Cash Program
We used the NAF program where New American Cash purchased the home we picked out and we were able to move in and rent it from them while we readied our other home to sell. It was a seamless experience and I highly recommend going that route if you are selling your home.

Good Communcation
This was a refi for my husband and I. I was happy with the process. From beginning to end Meissa Sevilla the intake rep was there. Even when she passed our case on to the next faze, she was still with us every step of the way. When you are working with a company for the first time you want that type of relationship. Her personality was straight forward, her recommendation was right on point. Overall, she was amazing.
