Exceeded Expectations

Own up was extremely helpful in connecting me with the best mortgage quote. Even more important was the service I received. The person I spoke with went out of their way to provide me with info I didn't even know I needed. Super helpful!

One stop shopping

One stop shopping! I worked with Liv on my closing and it couldn’t have been easier. Who has time to riffle through and meet with multiple lenders. But for such a major purchase I wanted to make sure I was considering all my options. Own Up provided me with multiple options to structure my refi. They answered all my questions. Liv was very knowledgeable responsive and an excellent proactive communicator.

I highly recommend Own Up!

I was assisted by William Boyce. When I submitted my application online, few minutes later, I received a call from Ownup rep. William was very meticulous in explaining me the process, making sure my info was accurate. He gave me the idea of asking for a GFE as well which I didn’t know it existed. What I loved in our 20 mins call is that William was extremely transparent with me and he made sure I understood the whole process of applying for a loan and looking for a house. He started by saying “I want you to grab a piece of paper and a pen”, that is when I knew I was dealing with someone who wants the best of my interests.

Their advertisements made it sound like…

Their advertisements made it sound like I could compare rates online. That is NOT the case. I was hesitant to give out my phone number and now I've had 3 phone calls and 2 texts in the last hour. This is not what I was looking for and don't appreciate multiple people calling me after I told the 1st one that I just wanted to compare online quotes because I already have a pre-approval.

No Brainer

So grateful to have entrusted our Lender search to Own Up. Would recommend them to anyone. The process was seamless. They were extremely attentive and in no way pushy. I felt as though we had someone in our corner who shared our goals in finding a great Lender and Home. We were able to secure an outstanding rate in less than a day. Using Own Up is a no brainer, and I will not hesitate to utilize them if the time arises in the future.

Textbook Bait-And-Switch

The website claims they don't do random phone calls and spam emails. I finished the initial survey and all I get is a notification that I'll be getting a call from a random bank I've never heard of. I'm not interested in this, but there was no request and no way to cancel it. I feel very manipulated.

Hi Paul -

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry that your expectations weren't met. As our Director of Sales explained when he reached out, Own Up offers multiple experiences based on your scenario and our concierge availability. You were presented with our digital experience which includes matching with three prospective lenders, all of which offer competitive rates for your scenario.

To assure that our shoppers needs are met, especially in the case when a shopper has an accepted offer and may have time pressure associated with their transaction, we have one of our lenders reach out while maintaining the shopper's ability to opt into additional lenders. We also offer all of our shoppers the ability to speak with our concierge team if they would prefer.

Our privacy team has removed your information from our database and all of our lender partners will do the same upon your request. We wish you the best of luck with your transaction and thank you for your feedback.

Best regards,
Customer Success
