Avoid.. Avoid... Avoid... Beware of Civic Financial Services especially the NY location. Liars and Crooks, they told me what I wanted to hear at the start by answering my questions, then as closing date was set they changed all the rules. Tried charging me over $12,000 in closing costs, only to put in their pockets. As I began to ask more questions before the official closing they lied to me again. Was informed on the closing date that the only way I had access to the funds I was borrowing was to request draws. I had to personally pay for all the renovations and contractors to do the work out of my pocket, then request the money back via draws. If I had the money already I wouldn't need a lender to borrow from, so why borrow the money and pay interest if I must pay for all the renovations upfront with my own money. They are very shady and crooked. Proceed with caution, better yet just avoid altogether!! They don't want to talk with you on the phone, they make it quick and never call back.

1 star too many-RUN Unprofessional Bad Business 1 star too many. RUN-DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CIVIC. The worst financial service company I've ever dealt with. They have had my loan since December 2022 and no one even had the courtesy to respond to my emails for a follow-up regarding my refinance after I've paid over $1200 in appraisal fee's. I've emailed the underwriting manager Daniel Molina called customer service to simply get a reply and no response. It was supposed to take 30 days. I had the pre approval. The Appraiser confirmed she made a mistake on the appraisal stated she would correct it at their request and they did not even submit for corrected appraisal. They will give you the run around and undeliver weeks at a time. I will be filing a complaint under the FHA, HUD, and BBB. Still ongoing.

Beware of Civic Financial… I am currently trying to get a loan with civic as we speak. I started with them on 6/15/22 and I am still trying to get it processed today 9/15/22 this is a very dishonest company Henry Carr will not be honest and upfront with me, he charged me 600 for an appraisal that cost 450.00. My business has went upside down and I have fallen behind using these guys! BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF THESE GUYS!!

The absolute worst hard money lender The absolute worst hard money lender, I have used quite a few, and I cannot stress enough how terrible they are. They take weeks to get a draw to you, there is no online portal, they charge huge fees. They took over a week just to get a payoff statement to the title company for the sale of the home that was quick close all cash. It took months just to close the loan when they said it would be weeks. DO NOT USE THEM, READ ALL THE PAPERWORK.

DO NOT DO IT!!! DO NOT DO IT!!!! ON CLOSING DAY, DURING FUNDING-UNDERWRITERS PULLED OUR DEAL BACK !!! AFTER I HAVE ALREADY WIRED THEM OVER 70K IN FUNDS. THEY ARE TRYING TO HAVE ME BRING MORE MONEY TO THE CLOSING TABLE; OR CHANGE THE LOAN TYPE! WE GOT A CLEAR TO CLOSE, SIGNED ALL PAPERS AND LOAN PAPERWORK AT 7PM LAST NIGHT; EVEN HAD A MOBILE NOTARY COME TO MY HOME TO SIGN!!! AND EVERYTHING! FOR THEM TO DO THIS AND PULL OUR DEAL BACK 30 MINS BEFORE RECORDING. IM LOOSING 5K IN DD DUE TO THIS. UPDATED: Jan17,2023 This company, dropped the ball on my loan and pulled the deal after docs were signed and after I sent my funds. Now I have Fay servicing calling me saying I have a loan with them for the homes civic financial declined to close the deal on. This loan never closed and I now I’m getting calls from the “would be” mortgage company regarding monthly mortgage payments!!!!
