My experience was great My experience was great! The entire team was knowledgeable, prompt with information and responses. Chris reached out every step of the way to communicate what needed to be done and answer any questions. Process went smoothly and quickly, closed early within a few weeks and am highly satisfied. Use Pennymac for your mortgage/re-finance needs!

From commencement to final signature on… From commencement to final signature on closing documents, every question was answered promptly and thoroughly! Each step was clearly explained and all of the financials were intensively clarified, even if they had to be repeated to me! Each progression of the process was detailed in the many emails guiding me. It has taken less than two weeks from my initial query to closing! Now that's a truly amazing experience! Need I say more?

Poor Customer Service & online experience It's difficult, to say the least, to get a real person via phone. A customer is encouraged to do everything via their online system but that system is pretty bad. I've submitted messages that don't get read. For example, I recently changed homeowners insurance and had to go through the online system to update my insurance info. The 'people' receiving my info don't seem to understand insurance, and because there was question about the coverage rather than pick up the phone and call me, they mailed letters asking me to upload my new insurance over and over again. Then they applied their own insurance because the question hadn't been answered, even though I had answered the very simple question and submitted documentation. A person with just a little bit of knowledge could have solved the issue by either picking up the phone or answering my online messages. It's almost like there are no humans working there.

RE-Fi to save $300 a month went easy… RE-Fi to save $300 a month went easy and fast closing! I have an FHA loan with unfortunate built-in PMI at around $400+ cost a month, which remains until I sell my home as this current RE-FI could not change since my income did not allow a change from FHA to conventional. Good experience all around with PennyMac.

Disaster They messed up my escrow account and will not be accountable. Horrible customer service and won't give you a person to work with. My mortgage was sold to them. If you have a choice - never go there.
