Low cost, process efficiency, but terrible at correcting errors Two major pros: - Significant $avings compared to alternatives - Online process was *usually* well organized One significant con: - When there were relatively minor problems, the process for correcting them was obscure at best. For example, we decided to opt-out of owners' title insurance, but in spite of many reminders, that wasn't corrected until 4 pm on the day before closing. There were at least three other similar disconnects. It seems like in the name of efficiency, Better doesn't empower the point of contact to fix problems directly.

We financed through Better We financed through Better. Things started off well, but the day before closing they stated we would have an excess of credits. We decided to use that excess to buy down points and we also agreed to remove one of our insurance fees this would have covered it. On the day of closing the numbers changed and I had to bring more money to the closing table. It was very difficult to get a hold of anyone who was licensed to speak about rates. When we finally did get someone 2-3 hours before the actual signing there was an oversight on the numbers they provided us. We could not roll things back unless we waited another three business days. TLDR; In the end we had to buy down points, which we did not want to do. It costs us an optional insurance and bringing additional money to closing. To recoup just the cash portion brought in it would take 2 years. Very bad transaction.

Better is the future of buying homes. Overall working with Better was a great experience. Getting a pre-approval letter is real fast. Some things to consider when working with Better, make sure you have access to your whole financial situation. Things that can at can delay and ruining your experience if you work sales and make commission, if you receive RSU (restricted stock units) from an employer. One issue I had was I did not attached my checking account as an asset and there was not an easy way to fix that. In all it was a great experience and we were able to close on the date promised. I would use Better again.

Attentive and helpful team, extremely smooth closing process Simple, quick and easy to go through the whole process, and as smooth of a closing you could hope for on a new home purchase. The whole team was responsive, attentive and on top of the ball every step of the way. Not to mention their interest rates were far superior than 5 other lenders I got loan estimates from. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use Better Mortgage in the future.
