Poor Service, and scamming for a higher interest rate
I was disappointed with the service. We went with FBC, because it was the preferred lender for 13th Floor Homes. Also our Agent said it is better to stick with the preferred lender, as they know all the ins and outs of the builder. That it will be a smooth process. Well, very close to our closing, a little too late I thought, I received a call from Jorge to "lock in a rate." I called him back, and got his voicemail, which said "don't leave a message, Im on vacation????" I called the other person who's name was mentioned on the outgoing message, his assistant I believe, Anna. She never called me back. Then about an hour later, Jorge called me and said that he needed to get on a computer, and will call me within the hour in front of a computer. I waited over two hours for him to call me back. All this time I am out of town on a business trip, and don't have a computer. But use my phone as one. He quoted me 5.25%!!!! And told me I could "buy down" the rate to 4.70%. I said that was way too high. I was not happy with this rate. He did a big sigh, and said "Well if you can get me lower rates from re*****ble companies, I might be able to take it up the chain and see if I can get a lower rate for you." I was shocked and pissed. He wants me to do the work, like it was a game. I really didn't have the time, as I was on my business trip. But boy did I start the research. I felt like he was cheating us. I actually got busy, on my phone, and spoke to two different mortgage companies, and also did a Bank Rate and Zillow profiles for loans. ALL came back between 4.25% and 4.75% NOTHING was 5.25%. I got a total of 4 actual quotes from other companies, and the Zillow and Bank Rate Profile. One Mortgage Company even went so far as to say he was a crook, and trying to cheat us. I was so mad. My Real Estate Agent even contacted his lender, and she was lower. EVERYONE was lower than the preferred lender. And here's the thing, remember I said I thought he was calling kinda late, ALL the other lenders I contacted for better rates gave me two days to decide, because otherwise it was outside their 30 day window for approving loans. I didn't know that there was such a thing, and lenders need time, and wont take on the business if they cant help you, and they need 30 days. Jorge knew this, so he was putting me into a corner, and realizing that even if I found a better rate, and started the WHOLE loan process with someone else, they may not be able to make it work in 30 or less day. Very funny tactics of Jorge. Dishonest I, and everyone else I was dealing with, thought. We even called the builder, 13th Floor Homes, and got some joke of an excuse about this mortgage company and this agent. They didn't even help out. So, I sent all the info to Jorge, all the better rates that I received, all the emails, etc. He then comes back with 4.9% but I will loose the $2,200 credit from the preferred lender for closing costs. Again, cheating us. I said NO, I still wasn't satisfied with that rate, and there was no way I was loosing that $2,200 for closing costs. I also was still on my business trip. I went from Tampa, to Austin to San Francisco all going back and forth with Jorge, and him not returining my calls. Finally before boarding a flight back to New York, did we get it down to 4.75% keeping the $2,200. Now mind you, this was still higher than other quotes I had gotten, but it was now four day gone by, so the other lenders told me they couldn't help me as it was less than 30 days. So I had to go with Jorge and FBC. So I took the rate of 4.75%. I am very dissatisfied. I don't trust him, and I am going to urge 13th Floor Homes to reevaluate their "Preferred Lender." I know that other home buyers probably took that ridiculous rate of 5.25%, just because they don't know how or what to do in the home buying process. And they got swindled.
Gregory's Tip: Get a back up Mortgage Company in advance. ONLY go with FBC if they offer something at closing, otherwise there is no reason to go with them. The "preferred lender" status is a joke. Sure we only had to put down 5% when we signed the contract. If someone doesn't have the 20%, then that may be worh it, but we had it so that wasn't an issue.

Thank you for all your help through this process!
Being a new home owner has been a little stressful, but the loan process with George, Anna Decembre and Elaine Thomas was very easy! George was very detailed explaining the best options for us, and getting to the point. The closing process was a bliss, we also decided to use FBC Homeowners Insurance services, because it was not only the best quote provided, but the easiest way to do it.

Process was smooth and efficient. A bit of miscommunication on mortgage rates and lenders credits.
