Reviews for Karen Grim
Do not use Traiblazer
Working with Trailblazer Mortgage was one of the most hellacious experiences of me and my wife’s lives. Our realtor confirmed she has never seen a more ridiculous and complicated process in her career. We were kind, transparent, and did all we could to mitigate the issues, but it was clear that this company was working against us for reasons unknown. Specifically, Karen Grim and Gregory Thomas, who consistently displayed a lack of understanding for their job. They were untrustworthy, rude, condescending, never checked their emails which resulted in us sending the same things over and over again, and would make up different rules and regulations on the spot contradicting everything we were told previously. They constantly talked over us in conversation, hung up on phone calls mid-conversation multiple times, and refused to answer questions. It got to the point where we wrongly had to push our closing day back and were borderline threatened to be pushed back further unless we complied with their ridiculous claims. If it weren’t for my resilient wife and us being dead set on this house, we would’ve abandoned it based solely on our experience with Trailblazer Mortgage. Avoid this company at all costs if you value your sanity.

Process made easy
I closed on my home 12/29/22 which I had been disqualified with different lenders and they said we will close before the end of year. They did just that. The professionalism and dedication this company brings is incredible. Thank you for making my dream into reality

Made my dream of owning a home real!
We are so thankful for Trailblazer Mortgage! They worked with us every step of the way to move the process along. They were informative, communicative, and professional. We now own a home which I thought was not going to happen with all of our previous experiences!

Will NEVER work with her again!
Karen was our lender for buying an investment property last month. She said that we could "lock in rates with 60 days out," but never reached out to do this. In fact, she reached out out with less than 20 days until closing, essentially FORCING us to work with her AND we could have locked in interested rates at nearly 2 points lower had she told us we were 60 days out. She then took NO accountability and became VERY unresponsive. We actually ended up taking he entire amount of the loan out of our house rather than work with her. The people working with her admitted that she had messed up, but we were given no restoration, no lowering of fees, nothing. In fact, they RAISED their fees with the final documents. I understand making mistakes but to have ZERO accountability is completely unacceptable.
Erica's Tip: Find another lender.

Karen Grim needs to be fired
Karen Grim is by far the worst person I have ever dealt with in my life, from being unprofessional, insensitive, not caring about others time and simply just bring unresponsive. I left her 3 voicemails over the course of 4 days to still not get a reply or a call back from her. On the 5th day I was determined to get in contact with her so I called her 5 times is a row. She finally answered but with an attitude telling me that she is "a busy person,and that she doesn't have time to talk to all of her clients". I was in outrage because she was supposed to be my loan officer and IS SUPPOSED to be there to assist me with questions ans concerns. I was a client of FBC but Karen made me feel like I was someone begging her for money. She is rude on the phone and even on the day of closing her information was wrong and she caused me to give a down payment that was short. Advice to fbc, she needs to he fired. Advice to anyone assigned as karen grim being their loan officer, request a different person
Mohammed's Tip: If karen Grim reaches out to you,request a different loan officer. You will save yourself from a headache of a person

Best Mortgage Company I have ever used
From start to finish, Karen and her team stayed in contact with me. If you do your part by providing the necessary documents they request, they will use their expertise to make sure you get your mortgage approved. She is very good in what she does and will recommend her to anyone anytime. Thank you Karen

I'm not sure what this field is for.
This has been an interesting process processing this load because USDA changed their system for March 2021 they had to redo everything that was already ion the system. I can't blame anyone for system changes so Karen & FBC did whatever they could for me to get this loan processed jumping through hoops for me.
Ernest's Tip: Keep in touch by way of email & phone calls

Seems like they never sold a house before
The process was not too bad in the beginning. But it seemed as if the further along the process, the worse it got. Closing Was scheduled for 1pm. I arrived to the title company and was informed they never received a closing packet from the lender. I called the lender, who was not even aware there was a closing scheduled that day. 5:30pm came around and still didn’t get keys until the next day.

Company Needs Work
The beginning of the experience was smooth. However, FBC needs to work on their communication when it comes to USDA. they kept setting a closing date and pushing it back by weeks and I had no idea why. Underwriting was very simple with Gregory Thomas as my processor and he kept me very motivated. Overall, FBC just needs communication help.

Prompt and Professional
Karen was amazing. She kept us informed step by step and helped us to get into our home without hiccups. I'm so grateful for her help. Greg also helped ensure things kept moving for us. We love the team at FBC and know that we would not be in our home without their help.Thanks so much.
