ReviewMe and VA Mortgage Center
I’ve been a member of the ReviewMe program since inception. I always felt that the program was solid, because it gives the author of a blog the opportunity to choose the products that best suit the audience and deserve attention. I know that some frown on “pay for posts” but then, these same folks use ads and such on their sites and blogs. So, frown away, but I like the following company I am about to review, VA Mortgage Center.
Just to be clear, this is a sponsored post, a paid review, of the VA Mortgage Center.
I’ve been contacted quite a few times via snail-mail by the VA Mortgage Center because I am a member of the Air Force Association. Because I’ve agreed to receive contact from companies that seek out Air Force Association members, I get mailers from time to time from the VA Mortgage Center. I’ve read the material and one good thing is, I’ve kept them on my short list of firms to call once I decide to re-fi my home loan.
Which, odly enough, is coming very soon … 
My wife and I were speaking about this just this evening. We are remodeling our home, and we have a HELOC (home equity line of credit) that we are using during construction. We plan to collapse the HELOC into a primary loan, and re-fi the whole package. I was telling my wife about the opportunity to write a paid review of the VA Mortgage Center, and she said, “Well, if you write an article/review, can’t they give us a break on the points?”
Clearly, she gets the whole process.
Anyway, I’ve looked into the VA Mortgage Center, and found that they have a strong reputation and solid backing. They are also listed with the Better Business Bureau, and their report can be found here: BBB-Online Report. I’ve used ask.com as well as a google search and haven’t found any negative articles or complaints - you can do the same, use the following links:
Ask.com Search for complaints against VA Mortgage Center
Google Search for complaints against VA Mortgage Center
I hope that if you are in the market for a va loan, home loan, or even a re-fi, please give the folks at VA Mortgage Center a try. You really should take advantage of your va benefits, and this is just one avenue. I will be - ya know, I listen to my “chain of command”, and she’s instructed me to check ‘em out!

Love the blog! I am trying to make a conservative digg alternative called GOP Hub (GOPHub.com). Anything you can do to help with this effort would be awesome. Plus feel free to submit any articles you write here on your blog :). Take care and have a great weekend!

Sorry, Amy, it’s been a loooong time since I’ve last blogged. Work became very hectic, then I left my last job back in August. I’ve been looking for a new job every day, all day …
I’ve been building my own company in the slow search times. That takes quite a bit of cycles as well - I need to update this blog some, as well.
I was over at your blog today, too. You’re on track and on point, as usual!!! Don’t let up on these slackers!!!
Take care!

Stay away from this company.. they do not communicate with their customers.. closing was 2 weeks late..and the rates where not that good.. 5.5 … i found out after we closed that another lender would have given us a 4.9 with our great credit scores.. plus they didnt seem to know what they were doing half the time.. Terrible service!!!!

Sorry for the delay in responding, comments have been turned off on the site for awhile. My name is Nathan Long and I’m the CEO of VA Mortgage Center.com.
As to Yvonne’s comments about the BBB rating - VAMortgageCenter.com maintains a A or higher rating with the Better Business Bureau. We encourage all of our potential customers to research our reputation with them here http://bit.ly/aw9iHn
Diane - I’d be happy to speak with you about what happened with your loan officer and the rate. Often times we find lenders that will “quote” any rate up front to try and earn your business later. I’m confident VAMC provides the best service possible to military and veterans on a VA Loan.
Please contact me through our main line 800-405-6682. Others can hear our customers stories at http://www.vamortgagecenter.com/testimonials.htm

I am very disappointed with VA Mortgage Center! We have been trying to close for over a week without any information. Everyday we hear that we will have news today and that it’s the banks fault. Everything seems totally unorganized and the communication is terrible. We are working with one person who is great and one that is rude and rarely returns phone messages. At this point I am very sorry to have picked this company and I would never recommend them. I can’t wait to close and rid ourselves of this stress and company.

I have been working with this company on getting a home loan for well over a month now. Still no joy. Closing has been pushed twice. As well as Diane I found that rates are not at the top of the competition. I know this because closing has pushed several times and I fear it will keep getting pushed. While waiting for Docs to be faxed to escrow (told they were ready to go 2 weeks ago… and then later told, wait underwriter needs one more thing. I’ve heard that line 4 times or more now. One more should mean one more.) I’ve been shopping around and am hours away from going with a different company. I recently pcs’d and am trying to purchase a house to shelter my family. Meanwhile I’ve been living in a single wide furnished rental, with 90% of my belongings in storage, and my pets at a kennel. The trailor is entirely too small for my family and I would much rather be living somewhere else. However it is difficult to find anything else to rent without going into a lease. To me it seems that there is no sense of urgency while my family has to suffer. Very displeased at this moment.
