Let me set the stage by saying that… Let me set the stage by saying that this is my first (and likely my last) use of a "hard-money" lender. As a veteran of at least 15 mortgages in my life, I have been through a range of lenders from, what I deemed good as well as not-so-good. The experience I had with Visio continues to be problematic. BSI Financial is the organization who is "managing" the loan. I sent them an invoice for $30 to catch up on a quarterly HOA charge and they paid with a check for more than $2,000. The fact that they are escrowing the HOA in the first place is unheard of but, then things like this occur. I will waive other opportunities like this to avoid another round.

I’d give them negative stars if I… I’d give them negative stars if I could. Heather Smith is the most incompetent underwriters I have ever worked with. Got the clear to close. Then they reneged on it. Now the seller will be going after me for liquidated damages. They haven’t had the courage to call me to even give me an explanation!!!! Run fast from this company they are absolutely the WORST! Incompetent is throughout this scam of a lender!!!!

Visio Visio - run, don't walk from them. Their rates are amongst the highest, they talk a good game when they want your sale and after you are locked into their process, welcome to hell on earth! Absolute lack of professionalism and communication skills, finger pointing at every stage! Different departments make it sound like the problem is elsewhere both within and outside the company. What was originally supposed to be a 30 day loan got extended to 45 days and now I'll be lucky if we close in 60+ days! Last time I consider Visio was the first and only time!

The loan process was painful The loan process was painful. Too many people involved and not enough that were actually knowledgeable. Closing date was missed by weeks. I was at closing getting ready to sign when your office called to say “wait” we need to change something. I felt there were too many young/unexperienced people involved.

Very responsive and excellent service… Very responsive and excellent service as well as great rates. Nick Marrone is very instrumental in explaining all the process and response to calls/emails right way. He also followed up the entire process to ensure closing should be done on time. I would give him 5 out of 5 for the great customer service. Angelia Rivers and Mark Davila did the great job for loan processing. Throughout the entire process, I was feeling I am also part of the Visio team. Great work!
