I did not process a loan at this time but when I do, I will use guaranteed rate mortgage.

Response from Mike Murgatroy CrossCountry Mortgage
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. I love educating consumers on several aspects of the mortgage business. Several consumers think they need to save 20% for down payment to avoid mortgage insurance. This can take some people several years and cost them many opportunities. We do mortgages with as little as 5% down payment with no monthly mortgage insurance. The rates are still low and it makes sense to buy now rather than 2 years from now (unless you have a crystal ball and can predict what the home prices will do). Call me to review your options.

We were particularly proud of closing your loan. When you came to us the other lender you were working with was having difficulty closing your loan and you were running out of time before your contract closing date would expire. From the first time we had a conversation with you to the first available closing date was a record 8 days!! It just goes to show it is never too late to call the Mike Murgatroy team to get the job done right!

Excellent!
Description of Work: I have been working with Mr. Murgatroy and his team for over two years now. I along with Scotty, run a small credit repair organization and work with Mike regularly. I can always count on him and his team to give honest advice. We recently turned a client back to Mike, who then was able to get them into a mortgage. The client then, after hearing the mortgage rates had dropped, reached out to Mike and his team wanting to refinance. Mike had reviewed the numbers and determined financially it didn't make sense to refinance. That's the type he, and his team are, and why we are thankful to have Mike as part of our family as well.

Thank you for trusting us on a consistent basis! Sometimes it does not not make good financial sense to move forward with a mortgage. Unfortunately there are a lot of mortgage professionals concerned with their commission instead of what is best for the client. We pride ourselves on being truthful and transparent with the utmost integrity!

This was a very fulfilling transaction for us to complete for you! The appraised value had come in lower than the purchase price and the sellers were difficult for you to deal with. Our team rallied behind you and worked very closely with your agent as well as the sellers agent to ensure this transaction went through. Appraisals are one of the pieces that we have no control over as we are not allowed to communicate with the appraisers; so when a value comes in low, it is crucial to have an experienced mortgage professional on your side to show you what options are available and give you the support you need until negotiations have been finalized.

Description of Work: Great customer service, nice attitude, prompt etc but at the end of the day was unable to help - largely because we are 1099 employees. I will say I was somewhat offended when the "viability" of our business was questioned. It seems as though netting $14K in a month isn't perceived as profitable when applying for a $60K mortgage. We ultimately threw in the towel and just paid cash in lieu of taking out a mortgage for the house. The experience may have been entirely different had we not been self employed or if time had not been of the essence.

Dear member, Ivtried to reach you and left a message. When i didnt hear back i reviewed with your husband who had a different perception and agreed with me. The viability of your business was not questioned. Unfortunately the amount of income you filed in 2014 didn't qualify for a 60k mortgage. At the time you reached out to us you didn't have 2015 taxes filed yet. We were not ble to assist you based on all the information supplied since you didn't meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines with regards to ability to repay the mortgage regardless of how much cash you are netting each month.

Mike responded extremely fast via email. He was able to ask a couple of questions and determine whether he could help us. His company does not handle construction or rehab loans. I appreciate his quick response and ability to say that he could not help us but would let us know if he came across a company that has the product/service we need. I would recommend contacting Mike first via email verses the phone.

Response from Mike Murgatroy CrossCountry Mortgage
Thanks Member we appreciate the feedback and the "A" report. The cost of the refinance was not $100,000 that was the mortgage amount. The amount that members should know is the lender fee was only $239 and your appraisal fee was reimbursed upon closing. We are very grateful for the significant amount of members we are assisting nationally.

If A+++ was there, that's what I would have chosen. Where do I begin... first, since I live in the vicinity of the WCS office, I am one of the few lucky people to actually meet these professionals in person at their office. Top notch group! Professionalism all the way. I have had many mortgages (more than 6) and in all my years, this was by far the easiest and most painless mortgage (refi) I have ever acquired. Start to finish, about a month. Any questions or concerns I had were answered, not only to my satisfaction, but promptly. Mr. Murgatory's estimates were right on, right from the start. I hand out Mr. Murgatory's business cards to anyone I know looking for a mortgage or refi who is interested in a great company to work with. Can't say enough. Great rate, no games, a very pleasant surprise. Great rates, lender credits... I highly WCS.
Description of Work: I obtained WCS services to refinance my home mortgage and jump on the low rates. Even after lock-in, he was able to float down a little lower when the rate dropped a bit and he took the time to do so. Closed the loan in the convenience of my own home. Couldn't have been easier.

He was recommended by a co-worker who I trust. We did a no-cost ReFi for 4%. The loan closed on time with no issues! We were even credited $600 towards my property tax bill at closing out of WCS's lender credit! That was well worth the 1/8 point higher cost of the loan. I made their job very easy by providing all the documentation and verification info in a timely manner, and they took care of me. Another co-worker of mine also ReFi'd through Mike/WCS and was very pleased.

The experience was the best we've ever had. It helped that we were very responsive in returning or sending paperwork back to WCS, so everything went more quickly.
Description of Work: Mike underpromised and overdelivered. We did not pay anything out of pocket for our refinance, and received $500 back. We also were able to skip two house payments during the process, which was nice.We consolidated a first (5.5%) and second mortgage (6%) down to a single 4% 30-year loan. Overall, the costs of the refinance added about $4000 to our total principle balance, so it is not free, but it did help us accomplish the goals we outlined with Mike.I recommend Mike to anyone looking to refinance.

I started my search for a refi with Mike because of high ratings on Angie's List. I was on the fence about whether it would be worthwhile to go with the rate quoted by Mike. Rather than jump on his offer, I decided to do more investigation. In the meantime, the rates edged up a little, pretty much pushing me over the fence on the side of waiting to do a refi.Mike was extremely busy during this period, so a couple of my emails went unanswered for a day or two. (very understandable since I had not committed to go ahead with the refi). I was impressed with Mike's willingness to provide a quick education and to point out the alternate strategies. He's deal was very close to the best I was offered. I would definitely go the Mike again when I perceive the market is offering a favorable rate.
Description of Work: I contacted Mike because of high ratings on Angie's List.He was very helpful and was unselfish with his time to educate me about the mortgage market and strategies for getting the best long-term deal. The actual rate was not low enough for me to pull the trigger and go for a refi.

I really liked them. They were absolutely superb. I changed my mind about getting a refinance of mortgage but I would absolutely recommend them to anybody. They were just outstanding. They took into account some of the things that I didn’t want to do as I didn’t want to go through a particular financial institution they recommended because on Angie’s List they had a bad review and they had got the reputation of taking the appraisal field. Then not issuing the pocketing of $400 appraisal fee and then not issuing a refinance so they had ripped people off and I got that of Angie’s List. They avoided that and really came up with alternatives. They were really good to work with. They were easy to reach on any questions I had. They were very knowledgeable. Their price was excellent.
Description of Work: I used Mike Murgatroy / WCS Lending LLC for mortgage. They offered a variety of refinance companies, they gave me advice on how to improve my cycle score and took into account some of the things that I didn’t want to do as I didn’t want to go through a particular financial institution they recommended.

Overall his information was helpful. In the end I went with a mortgage firm in North Carolina where I am buying the house, but Mike was great and the information he gave provided a clear picture of what I faced in securing a loan.
Description of Work: I was shopping for a mortgage and found Mike on Angie's list.He responded to my email right away.He ran the numbers, checked the comps and got me a detailed fees sheet very fast.He also took the time on a Sunday to talk with me on the phone to explain, based on my income and the property I was bidding on, what might be the problems securing a 30 year fixed loan. I found him hard working and responsive to my questions and needs. This is not a Mon-Fri 9-5 guy.

Dear member, Thank you for your feed back. We learned a lesson from your scenario to advise our clients quicker if we don't think we will have an option that will satisfy their situation. Also if we would have set the expectation that it would take longer than 1 week to research you would not have felt like you were left hanging. We appreciate the constructive criticism and have improved significantly as reflected in our reviews.

I called about a refi or mortgage modification. Mike was very generous with his time explaining what he knew about the new Harp 2.0 laws, and what he thought my chances were. I provided him the needed info and submitted an application and he very promptly came back asking for more details. In the end, he didn't believe he could do anything, which was disappointing but I believe he was knowledgable and truthful. He was very good to deal with and from our limited contact I'd say I trust him.

I make contact with Mike after locating WCS Lending on Angie's list. Mike was very straight forward with his estimate of refinance costs and quickly gave me a quote. Both Mike and Peter were very responsive when a question would come up and the whole team worked very hard to move the process along as quickly as possible. Mike was very helpful with information about when to lock our interest rate. Mike stayed in touch with me and we locked at a good rate (4%) with minimal closing costs. Some unexpected requirements by the funding company (no fault of WCS Lending) caused the the closing to be delayed a few weeks. The team was very helpful during this time and even helped off-set some additional costs that came up, last minute, at closing. I found Mike and his team very honest, knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process and would highly recommend them!!

I found Mike on Angie's List. :-) He came with high recommendations and he and his team did not disappoint. I wanted to choose someone local as I didn't realize this is the sort of thing that could be done long distance. We did complete most of the transaction via email and scanner, which was convenient as I was licing about 45 minutes away. Mike explained that he does mortgages for folks all over the country. My situation was a bit unique as I graduated from nursing school less than a year ago. I wanted to buy a house but wasn't sure I could even get a mortgage without working for a longer period of time at my job. Mike was incredibly helpful in the early stages before I even started looking at houses. He looked over all my information and assured me he could get me a mortgage and let me know how much I could afford. Once I had narrowed down a house, he confirmed what he expected my payment would be to ensure I could afford it and provided me with a pre-qualification letter. My house was a short sale, which turned into a 5 month closing. After the acceptance of the offer by the sellers, I met with Mike and his team in the office. Mike was incredibly helpful and gave me a lot of information about the loan process and how he works through a varuety of channels to lock-in the best mortgage rates for his customers. He had me fill out all the paperwork in advance so I was ready once the bank accepted the offer. Once the bank approved the Short Sale, Mike and his team worked furiously to close in 3 weeks. I was still nervous that my loan somehow wouldn't come through but I should not have doubted Mike. Not only did I get a loan but I got a 4% interest rate as well with no points. My monthly payments came out around $200 less than his first estimate and my closing cost came out less as well. Mike was able to credit back the lender's fees so my $400 covered the appraisal. I was thrilled with the outcome and now have an amazing house for less than I could rent an apartment for. Throughout the entire process, Mike and his team were incredibly friendly, honest, professional, organized, and responsive. One thing that I find unforgiveable in a professional relationship is a lack of responsiveness but I was pleasantly surprused with how responsive Mike and his team was. If I emailed Mike with a question, I always got a response back very quickly, even in the evenings or on the weekend. I got his cell phone # and could call him or text him if I needed to. Mike and his team have mastered the concept of "Underpromise and Over-deliver." I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend him.

Every contact we had with WCS Lending over a six week period during the refi process of our home was wonderful. I located WCS on Angie's List and my husband called for a quote. The rate Mike quoted was very competitive however their closing costs beat everyone else we contacted so we were very pleased with loan package. Peter took over letting us know what they would need. Their responses were nearly immediate and their emails were clear, precise and fun. We knew we had chosen the right team when the last item on their 'things-to-do list' was 'Be Happy'! They checked in frequently, acknowledged receipt of required items and shared where we were in the process as we went along. I looked forward to seeing their emails when I would come home from work and check my home email! A few weeks after our initial contact, during the underwriting process, Mike called my husband to let us know that rates had lowered and he would suggest we move to a lower rate with another lender and save some additional money. Mike took the time to make sure I understood how to evaluate a break even point as we would have to pay for another appraisal. Our break even point made going for the lower rate a better deal and Mike and Peter took care of everything. I work for a Credit Union that prides itself on our low rates, yet using Mike and his team I came out ahead of even our own in-house rates. As a manager of 10 branches I can confidently say that Mike, Peter and Laurie excel at caring for their customers. They took the time to explain everything. Their emails were friendly and personal and I felt an instant connection even though we never met personally. On the day of closing, I was under the weather recovering from the flu and could not remember a detail that was on the closing paperwork. I emailed Peter and he immediately helped me resolve the issue. My husband and I are considering purchasing another property in the next few years and we will most certainly use Mike and his team. If you are looking for someone who steps outside the normal mortgage process and is committed to providing you with a wonderful mortgage experience I highly recommend you consider WCS Lending.

Michael was a referral from a Realtor that we no longer use. Michael and his team, Sherry and Pete, were always available to answer our questions, helped coordinate everything that needed to be done, and delivered an exceptional rate for a fixed mortgage. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering financing for a new home.
