We just refinanced through A1 Mortgage. I had inquired with 3-4 different companies in the Kansas City area to check on the terms and rates. They were all offering comparable terms and were all quite well rated in BBB. We picked A1 Mortgage primarily because we wanted to get this done quickly and the loan office, Ami Buccero, promised that they could get our loan closed in approximately 2 weeks or less. When I asked the other companies they said that 2 weeks would be hard to do and most unlikely. So we were a little skeptic when signing up with Ami at A1 Mortgage but I am happy to report that they did live up to their promise of superfast closing. Ami was always on top of things keeping us posted regularly during the whole process and sent us all of the paperwork and documents in a very timely manner. Long story short, all we had to do is forward the documents she requested and before we know we had a scheduled closing date.
Ami's customer service deserves special kudos. After our closing, we realized that there was a 1-day delay in paying off our previous mortgage company and therefore there was a chance that we would be hit with a Late Fee since the loan payoff had hit the books after the late payment deadline for our monthly payment. I explained this to Ami and she promptly volunteered to send us a check for the Late Fee. Luckily, it turned out that the Late Fee was not charged by our previous mortgage company. However, we are very glad that Ami offered to compensate us for the Late Fee even without our asking.
In summary, although there are many good mortgage companies in KC, we would highly recommend going with A1 Mortgage because they have excellent customer service and they do deliver on their promise of quick closing.
