Own Up Reviews

Easiest Process Ever Working with Ryan and Own Up was very easy. I loved doing the preliminary application online with Own Up and getting a handful of viable offers to choose from. It made searching for a home loan so simple and stress free. I recommend to anyone who needs a home loan and appreciates the process being managed online. Their communication was great throughout.

Patrick helped me refinance my house and get a better mortgage rate. He was very transparent with the different rates available and explained the process clearly. He referred me to Success Mortgage who was also efficient in getting my refinance closed in time. I'd definitely choose OwnUp and Patrick for future lending needs.

In an attempt to take it to the next level of adulthood I began my search for my first home. Looking back it's impressive how little I understood about the home buying process outside of looking at available homes online. Fortunately, I came across Own Up in my search for a lender and was connected to Ryan Pugh. Not only did I save A LOT of time but the rates provided to me (without an upfront credit check) were better than any bank I spoke to. Most importantly Ryan went out of his way several times to ensure I understood any and every aspect of the process and my options.

Sarah is the Best! We are very grateful for Sarah and the work she did to help us refinance our home. Sarah was patient, informative, and understanding throughout the process. Sarah kept us updated on the best rates, and prepared projections of different scenarios so that we felt supported in making the best decision. Once we were ready, Sarah moved things forward so we could secure an awesome rate, and did a warm handoff to our new lender. Sarah is top notch, and we are very grateful to her for her hard work

Own up was amazing, Rachel Pierce especially was always available to answer questions of mine and provide support when I needed it. They also helped me learn so much with the home buying process and got me the best rate possible for my loan. I constantly recommend OwnUp to all my friends who are starting their journey and will continue to.

My wife and I heard about Own Up from a friend who had a great experience with them. We are so glad we used them too, as Jenn guided us through the process and helped match us up with a lender and a great rate. Highly recommend!

I used Own Up to buy my first house. I really appreciated being able to see where each dollar was going to go for each of my mortgage options. As a first time home buyer, Own Up helped clear up a lot of confusion about mortgages and how they work. My agent was very accessible and communicative, and was willing to make calls to listing agents during the weekend. He also answered questions about the home buying process that a mortgage broker might not normally, but he knew I was a first time home buyer and shared as much helpful information as possible. I was able to lock in a good rate in the midst of rising interest rates. I definitely recommend Own Up to anyone who would appreciate someone else doing the leg work to compare mortgage offers.
K
Beth was wonderful to work with during the whole process. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and concerns and she was patient and talked me through each step. She was extremely helpful when connecting me and my lender on urgent questions. The entire process was a lot less stressful because of Beth and Own up! Thanks for everything!
D
I found Own Up helpful in navigating the often complicated and frustrating paths of refinancing a mortgage. James was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to work with me until we found the right deal. I would recommend this service to anyone shopping for a refi.
C
Beth was very helpful. I had an urgent need to switch to a more reliable lender and Beth was there to help, always giving updates and following up with the new lender to speed up the process. I would definitely recommend her.

Javon helped my wife and I to secure our first home purchase. It was a no nonsense experience. He understood what we need with regards to financing and delivered that exactly. He explained the grey areas , if any , perfectly to boost confidence. We would surely go back to Javon / Own Up if we need for any financing in future. Thank You Javon & Own Up and all the best for your future endeavors !

Tyler was so helpful in helping me find a better mortgage on my wife and I's first home. We had previously worked with a mortgage broker, who was very friendly, but was not offering us a competitive rate. Tyler found us multiple rates 3/8 and 1/2 % off our then rate. He also answered my call late in the evening when we decided we wanted to lock in our rate. This service was truly excellent.
A
The process of getting quotes was super simple and quick. The loans they found for me were MUCH better than the others I had found on my own. They had better rates and lesser fees which means I am paying $400 A MONTH LESS than the loans I found on my own. Own Up truly took the headache out of the whole process and made it a very affordable and easy decision for me. I highly recommend Own Up.

Beyond Pleased! I had a great experience working with Own Up from beginning to end. This service made my refinance experience nearly pain free. My advisor was very knowledgeable, responsive, and caring. The process took some time (on the leaders part), but Own Up was literally there for me every step of the way. I am/was very pleased with the service and will be using it again in the near future. Definitely recommend.
J
Own Up did what a mortgage broker does by way of providing me with a selection of qualified lenders for my particular loan. My broker, Molly, was engaging, friendly, available and provided information in a timely professional manner. She took a genuine interest and concern in helping me narrow down the lenders to suit my needs. I recommend Own Up and their services and will use them if future my needs require me to move or refi.
Thanks for sharing your experience, John! We're thrilled to hear Molly helped equip you with the knowledge you need to make the best decision for your scenario. We're always here whenever you need us!
J
Olivia was very helpful in the whole process which was comforting in this crazy housing market. It was also comforting to know we got the best rate possible.

Very Satisfied - Own Up took good care of us! We recently used own to refinance our home with cash out. Jordan Sylver was our advisor and was with us every step of the way. We hit a bit of a bump - due to my changing jobs in the middle of the process - but Jordan was able to smooth things out and get us to closing quicker than I had thought. It was great to have an advocate on our side to deal with the bank and to explain things to us. Jordan was very responsive and patient. I would highly recommend using own up. It is refreshing to see all the loan rates and closing costs up front without an pressure to pick. Overall, it was a great experience and I would work with them again.
Jordan's definitely always up for a challenge, and we're glad to hear he was able to help you through your refinance. Thanks for sharing your experience, Sande, and congrats on your new rate!
T
Own up was a great resource in a typically awful process. Tyler was a huge help and always very responsive. After shopping around quite a bit for mortgages, own up was by far the cheapest and most helpful. I would recommend it as a no brainer for everyone looking for a mortgage.
"Typically awful process" is exactly why we're excited to come to work everyday. There's so much room for improvement in this important but incredibly opaque and frustrating industry. Thanks for giving us a chance and for sharing your review.

Helpful from start to finish. Steve W from OwnUp was there to explain our options to us in the very beginning of our home loan search, and helped us personally all the way through the long process that led to us closing on our first home. He stuck with us through one retracted offer and the one that eventually went through, and was always there to help us navigate the unfamiliar. We are so grateful for his help, transparency, and communication.
That's so great to hear, Ryan! Congrats on becoming a homeowner and thank you so much for sharing your experience here!

OwnUp and in particular, Jennifer Valenzuela, made the home buying process so much easier. From my initial consultation through the very end of the process, they were great. In the end, I locked in a fantastic rate with excellent customer service and while I can honestly say I never want to move again, it's only because we are now in our dream home. Thanks OwnUp.
Congrats on your new home! And thanks so much for letting us play a small part in your journey. We really appreciate you sharing your experience!
B
From start to finish, Own Up made this process not only painless but absolutely frustration-free! Within 24 hours we had several highly competitive offers at fantastic rates. Within 48 hours, we'd locked in our choice and the whole refinance (plus cash out) closed in less than a month from filling out the initial online form at Own Up. It was an incredibly efficient process, and we are very satisfied customers.
We love frustration-free mortgage processes! So glad we were able to help you with your refinance, Ben. Thanks for sharing your experience and congrats on your new rate!

Enjoyable process I have bought/ sold many homes and with that applied for many mortgages. None of the previous processes I found particularly enjoyable. This time was different. High praise.
B
Ownup helped someone like me with limited understanding of mortgages and the refinancing process feel comfortable and supported from start to finish. What started out as a casual search to see if refinancing my mortgage would be beneficial to me ended with me getting a great offer that reduced my monthly payment by $300. My credit has improved since I purchased my home so I had a feeling I'd get something good but was surprised to see how good. Raj at OwnUp helped to breakdown the process and explain it to me in layman's terms. It's definitely a great company for anyone with a novice understanding of mortgages who wants to better understand what they are getting into.
We know mortgage processes can be confusing, but we truly believe you should feel informed and educated throughout the process – we're so glad Raj was able to help you through your refinance in this way! We're glad Raj was able to help you understand so you could make the best decision for yourself. Thanks for sharing your experience, Bob!

Great service and made navigating my home purchase seamless. I read about Own Up on one of my weekly newsletters and my realtors friend had recently refinanced with Own Up so I decided to give it a shot. As a first time home buyer, it made the process manageable and Jennifer helped me to understand the different quotes I received. I received quotes from various banks and had many options to choose from. The bank I was connected with was great and very communicative. Own Up also referred me to a lawyer who is was awesome and interesting op of everything. I would definitely recommend this service to others.
We're thrilled to hear that Jennifer was able to help you understand the process and guide you through every step of the way! Thanks for sharing your experience, Olivia! Congrats on the new house! 🎉

I'm so glad I found Own Up while shopping around for my first home loan. Not only did they get me the lowest rate but their team (shout out to Jessica) was incredible at guiding me through the process and answering all of my questions. As a first-time home-buyer going about this without a realtor, their easy-to-use online system and top-notch staff couldn't have been easier to work with.
We're honored that we were able to help you through your first mortgage process, Joy! Being a first time homebuyer can be so challenging, especially without a realtor, but we're so glad Jessica was able to help you through the process. You should be so proud of yourself! Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the new home! 🎉

Own up (thanks Robert!) was always very responsive and helpful. Finding a home took forever (hello pandemic market) but they stuck with us and checked in regularly. It was great because as it was our first home we had a lot of questions and he was always willing and able to answer and look things over with us! Plus they have some great perks and connections which make things go smoothly.
The pandemic market can be so wild, but we're glad we were able to work with you through it! We're thrilled to hear Robert was able to help you through your first time buying and finding your best mortgage. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the new home, Aliza! 🎉

I want to send a big thanks to Elaine for making our home refinance go so smoothly. She was able to find us a great rate and help us save a lot of money. I truly really appreciate her great communication and follow-up to make sure everything went well and there were no issues along the way
We're glad to hear Elaine was able to help you through your refinance process, Angie! Thanks for sharing, and congrats on your new rate! 🎉

Such a smooth and easy process buying our first home! I really trust Own Up and appreciate their transparency, kindness, and organization throughout the entire process. Loved having a designated advisor that was always available to us - Oscar was fantastic and so great to work with! Don’t hesitate with Own Up...they truly are there to walk you through securing a great mortgage rate and lender. So happy I stumbled upon this great company and now understand all these raving reviews!

Quinn was great! He walked us through the whole process and was able to match and exceed other lenders. A+

I had a great experience working with Own Up. As a first time homebuyer, it was very helpful to work with Own Up as they were available and informative without applying any pressure whatsoever. My representative, Tehri, was always quick to respond and capable to answer any question in the process. I had submitted for pre-approval with a major national bank of which I am a member which was taking a while. By utilizing Own Up's database of lender, we were paired with a lender that gave us a rate with CBC National Bank was a shave under what the major national bank was offering and granted us over $7000 in closing credit. Everything went smoothly and was in place for the closing date that we had set which was just under 7 weeks from our purchase agreement. I highly recommend using their services!
Congrats on buying your first home, Peter!! We're so glad Tehri was able to help you through the process on finding your best mortgage. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your new place!
A
I was skeptical of using an online only service and researched and read reviews and have to say that I am glad I chose to use Own Up! The process was simple and went flawlessly. Own up checked with me throughout the process to ensure everything was going well with the lender. The lender was fantastic and so easy to work with, they communicated very well and answered questions quickly. I had no issues whatsoever with Own Up or the lender. To top it off I got a much better rate and paid so much less in closing costs than I was quoted through local lenders. I was very pleased with the process and would sure use their services again!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Adrienne! We're proud to have helped you through your mortgage experience and we're so glad you were able to secure a better deal.

Fantastic service! I really enjoyed my experience with Own Up. Everything was transparent and they made shopping for the best quote an easy process! Our Advisor Olivia was amazing to work with, always prompt with any requests we had, and made us feel comfortable with trusting the Own Up service. Thank you Olivia! We were connected with a great lender and closed without any issues 🙌🏼
We're so glad to hear Olivia was able to help you through the process, Mike. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Andrea was wonderful! She did all the hard work of finding the best refinancing package for us. Not only did I not have to search through tons of companies, but we also ended up saving about $800 from our closing costs by working with Own Up! It was great having someone available to answer all of my questions, and having a second pair of eyes look over documents and estimates of the mortgage. I will be recommending Own Up to my friends and family!
N
Shopping lenders has never been easier! Here's what we loved about Own Up: 1) Great service: our home advisor Matt was able to answer all our questions in a timely manner and never applied pressure, letting us sort out what we wanted to do on our timeline. 2) Great process: we appreciated being able to do almost everything online, not having hard credit checks until we were ready to complete an application with our chosen lender offer, and the dashboard of our detailed loan options. 3) Great results: It was refreshing to seeing actual loan estimates with great rates from a variety of lenders without being pestered and without being bait-and-switched. And it was easy to get an updated set or have them tailored to what we were looking for.

Own Up made shopping around for a refinance painless and easy. My husband and I were so close to just going with our current lender for ease, but would've ended up with a higher rate and huge closing costs. I'm so glad we found Own Up and worked with Mark, who was so incredibly helpful and patient with us. He found us a great rate with a fantastic company and I couldn't be happier!
M
Great refinance experience! Own Up was one of 4 other mortgage companies I consulted with for my mortgage refinance, including the company I was using at the time. Own Up beat them all in both refinance rates and transparency with all of the fees. I'm completely pleased with the entire process and recommend them without reservation.
Thanks, Michael. It means a lot to us that you're sharing this experience and we're grateful for it as well as your trust in us. We're so glad that we earned your business after you did your due diligence.

A friend recommended Own Up and it was the best advise I could have ever received while looking for mortgages on our first home. I got my pre-approval letter very quickly without a hard credit pull which is great. Besides, the support and assistance Rachel provided through the whole process until the very last step was just amazing. My family super recommend Own Up!
A
I worked with Steve Williams and he was of great help. He provided excellent quotes based on my requirements and once I picked the one I liked, he would periodically follow up with me. In the middle I researched and found the loan initiation fees was too high and Steve got me another quote with lowest fees I’ve seen. Ownup has helped me save on my refinancing and I’m really glad I went with them. Steve was always following up and it did not feel forced as he respected space and did not bug about sales pitch. It was truly a very good experience all in all.

Own Up has made searching for mortgage rates the most painless part of the homebuying process. They have been attentive, quick to respond, always happy to reach out and answer my questions, and fought to secure the best loan available to me. I even found my amazing realtor thanks to a referral through Own Up. When my friends tell me they're looking at houses, I always tell them to check out Own Up!
D
First of all, I am so glad that I chose Own Up to get the mortgage loan as it quickly provides almost-optimal portfolio of lenders for which it would've taken a lot of time and effort had I made it myself. From the start to the final approval of loan, Matthew Renzi was a truly dedicated advocate for me to win the best loan I can afford and fix any concerns that I had along the way. He was always there within a minute or so to reply my answers. I felt so thankful for my friend who recommended Matt to me and I have already recommended him to another friend of mine. In short, I think he is the best loan adviser you can have.
Thanks for sharing this, Dong! We're so glad to have made shopping for your mortgage faster and easier.

Saw their ad on social media, and that they are a local company (Boston), so decided to give them a tray. OwnUp turned out to be an excellent choice. The entire process from start to finish was very convenient and easy. Jenn was personable and a pleasure to work with during my new home purchase, offering multiple options for lenders based on rate and credits. She was very responsive to my questions and was always available when I needed her for questions and clarifications.
We're so glad Jenn was able to help you through your mortgage process, Adam! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the new home! 🎉
A
I would definitely recommend ownup, especially, if you are a first time buyer. Charles not only provided me with the best mortgage rate that I could find but also he was always available to ask any questions in the homebuying/mortgage application process. I felt that he genuinely cared for me and my interest and took time to walk thru anything that I didn't understand very well
Congrats on becoming a homeowner, Aram! So glad we can help. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I worked with Olivia to help me find the best mortgage rates for my needs. She was available to answer all my question and was very helpful with my decision making on which product to choose. I will use Own Up again!
We're so glad to hear Olivia was able to answer your questions and help you make the best decision for your scenario. Thanks for sharing, Diane! We're always here whenever you need us!

Amazing experience with Own Up John Thomas helped me in the process. He was super professional, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. The Own Up quote was very transparent and the rate and cost I got in the beginning is pretty much the rate and cost I received at the end of closing. I would highly recommend anyone who is getting a mortgage or doing a refinance to give Own Up a try!
C
Own Up is unlike any other company helping people get mortgages today. I looked around to see if there were any other options to get a mortgage without an up-front hard credit inquiry, because I like to know what all the options are. There really aren't any other companies doing this -- helping people to get mortgages and refinance while also giving people as much information and transparency as possible. I wasn't comfortable with any of the other companies I looked at. Own Up felt very modern, and as a 24 year old buying my first home, this made me feel comfortable.
D
Friendly, Fast, Modern - Loved the ability to schedule an appointment online. Rachel was my first contact and she was brief but thorough and friendly. Shortly after our conversation, I received the rate quotes via a link in my email. The link led me to the Own Up website where I could see multiple rate quotes all at once for my situation. Rachel was available via email, phone, and text for questions and quickly updated the rate quotes as I changed it from a cash-out refinance to a regular refi. Rachel was then able to match a competitive rate quote I received. Own Up connected me with the final lender and that lender was also really great to work with.

This Company Made Our Dream of Home Ownership Come True. Adam Oltsik is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about Own Up. My wife and I have dreamed of being homeowners for years. Between not having the best credit, trying to cut down our debt and saving money for a down payment, buying a home seemed impossible for us in this market. Our apartment lease was coming to an end and our rent was being raised once again. We researched all of our options and were really disappointed to find that we either had enough money for a house down payment or the closing costs, but not for both. As first time home buyers we were overwhelmed and stressed with the many steps involved. Trying to find the right mortgage lender is very difficult and time consuming. We were ready to give up when my brother in law mentioned "Own Up" and suggested we look at how it works. It honestly seemed too good to be true that we could get pre-approved with a soft credit check. We were a little hesitant but we had nothing to lose at this point. We filled out our information on the website around 1:15am on a Thursday. Adam Oltsik called us at 8:30 that same morning and pre-approved us. We went with the realtor he referred to us and by Saturday we were at our first open house! We got an offer accepted on a gorgeous house exactly a week after we were pre-approved. If we ever had any questions or issues along the process we could always call, text or email Adam and he got things done for us. He genuinely cares about helping people get a good deal on their mortgage. After we selected our lender, they were unable to lock the rate we had picked due to a small change on our credit. We were on a time crunch because the sellers of the house we were buying needed to close quickly. Within 2 hours Adam was able to find us a new lender that was willing to match the rate we originally agreed to and they were able to close on time as well. From the time we applied with Own Up until closing day it was 5 weeks. For being first time home buyers on an FHA loan and in this sellers market, I would consider that a miracle. We are still in shock that this happened for us. Our closing costs were way less than they would have been without Own Up and we also got a great rate. We will be forever grateful to Own Up and to Adam for making this possible for us.
Wow, Christopher! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Stories like yours are truly why we do what we do every day. We're so glad Adam was able to help you make your dream of homeownership become a reality, but you two truly made it happen! What a great accomplishment! Congrats on the new home!! 🎉

As a financial journalist, I know my way around mortgage products. Yet when our VA lender started getting flaky (and points started showing up out of nowhere), we reached out to OwnUp and in a single call, we found a lender with a better rate with lower fees and a superb customer service experience. We closed on time, the doc process was a breeze, and frankly I'm ashamed I didn't know about OwnUp before we started our mortgage journey. We were overjoyed with the transparent dashboard where we could compare all the lenders and rates and couldn't have asked for more. We felt valued every step of the way, which is more than I can say for how our original lender made us feel.
J
We started the process of refinancing our home mortgage like everyone else does; searching on the internet and calling lenders to the get the best rates. The process is time consuming and irritating. Lenders immediately want to do a hard credit pull and call you back relentlessly trying to pressure you into moving forward. Own Up turns all of that on its head and makes the process seamless and enjoyable! After a short conversation with Raj (who was wonderful throughout the process), we had a clear list of the best offers available for our situation including options for different terms, lower rates with points, etc. Once we decided on the lender to go with, Raj and Own Up put us in contact with the lender and stayed with us all the way through closing to make sure we were taken care. I highly, highly recommend Own Up for anyone in need of mortgage assistance. Its refreshing to see a company turning an outdated, antiquated process into something fit for today!
We're so glad to hear Raj was able to help you through your refinance, Jeremy! We're thrilled you appreciated our modern approach and congrats on closing!
S
Must have for refinances! OwnUp has been crucial in getting me a better refinance. The options provided were fully vetted out and I was guided throughout on what to expect. During the times when rates were fluctuating I was given the right guidance to select an offer which I could only get through OwnUp. I really appreciate the legwork done by the team to help fulfill my refinancing needs. I'd highly recommend them for any of the mortgage/refinance needs. Special thanks to all the members who worked with me in this process, you all rock!
u
With Own Up I could get the lowest interest rate in market. Their service is exceptional. Shout out to Andrea who helped me through out the process right from tracking the interest rates for lowest rate, locking promptly and working with refinance company. I am looking forward to working with Andrea on my other property mortgage needs.
L
Excellent service from Andrew and from the lender that we were matched up with. Communication was clear and quick, and the rate we received was excellent. Lender and Andrew worked with us on a somewhat complicated cash out refinance. I would recommend own up to get started on any mortgage needs.
E
I kept seeing ads on Instagram for Own Up and jumped at the idea that someone could make the home buying process a little easier. Olivia was outstanding and make me feel so much more knowledgeable and supported along the way. I told her I wanted to make sure we were working with someone who could be there to help us understand our buying power even on nights and weekends because of the competitive market and she absolutely delivered. I can't thank Olivia and Own Up enough for making our purchase easier.
T
Professional and Knowledgeable I can't rave about the service I received enough. Matt was phenomenal -- never made me feel dismissed or 'dumb' regardless of how much I leaned on him throughout the entire process. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and displayed the utmost professionalism the entire time. He even continued to support me and check-in after the process completed. I have recommended Own Up to my closest friends and family, and would absolutely turn to them first with any mortgate needs!
R
Great company. Worked with Beth, she is very committed, reliable and knowledgeable. Received great help from her at every step until lender is selected. I got best rate at the time compared with other lenders. Highly recommended and will definitely work with her and ownup again.
D
I am grateful to have had Brenna serve as my home advisor during out recent investment property/vacation home purchase. She calmed me throughout several stressful roadblocks along the way while explaining the process and steps that I needed to take along the way. I highly recommend Brenna. She's a cool lady who seems to love her work and balances being your buddy alongside being highly professional.
Z
I had a great experience working with Charles Pierce from the Own Up team. Charles was with me throughout the entire process from initial contact to closing. He went above and beyond answering all my questions, running different lending scenarios and comparing quotes. I am very pleased with the service and I will surely be a repeat customer!
K
Working with Brenna O'Donnell at Own Up was an incredible experience. Brenna knows seemingly everything there is to know about the home finance field. In a hot seller's market there is a lot of pressure to work with a local lender, but Own Up crushes their rates. Brenna was able to put sellers and their agents at ease with just one phone call. She's accessible, prompt, and she will explain everything as simply as you might need it. Brenna will have your back every step of the way.
A
Steve from OwnUp was a great resource, collaborator, and supporter from start to finish. He communicated well our mortgage options and was great in helping us secure a below market rate quickly once we had an offer
U
Ownup was able to help me in my house purchase journey, given that they had the lowest negotiated rates with lenders so it was a no brainer to go with them. Olivia was an amazing sales person to work with. Only thing that I wish they had was immediate availability instead of selecting a time slot and I wish they were available over the weekends too.
S
Jack made our home buying experience so easy. He walked me through each step and explained it so well it seemed so simple. I would definitely recommend my friends and family.
J
We were blown away with the support received from OwnUp in the lead up to buying a home. Brenna went above and beyond to work with us, leaving nothing to chance and following through exactly as she said she would.
G
I can't tell you how happy I am that a friend liked Own Up and that I looked into the service they provide. I doubt I would have been able to buy my house through another lender. Rob was absolutely wonderful. He checked in with me on a regular basis (even on the weekends) and when I wasn't getting a response from the lender, he jumped right on it and corrected the situation. I would highly recommend Own Up to anyone looking to buy a home.
S
I had a great experience using Own Up. The website is clear and easy to use, the quotes are given quickly and with more detail than what you get from the traditional banks or mortgage companies, there are no surprises, and best of all they save you money! My Loan Advisor Jenn was extremely helpful. She was available when I needed her, she answered all my questions earnestly, she never pressured me into anything, and she was even able to get me a better rate on my refinance days before closing by reaching out to the lender personally on my behalf. I really felt like she was in my corner.
We're so glad to hear Jenn was able to help you through your refinance, Steve! We're always in your corner. Thanks for sharing your experience!
C
While searching for financing, my realtor gave me 3 names of lenders to speak with. Over the course of several days I had 2 offers (one was no longer in business). After speaking with Own Up's John Thomas for 5 minutes, I had 12 offers sorted in a manner that I didn't even need to review anything more than the top 2. More over, most of the offers were much better rates than the individual lenders I initially worked with. Own Up is the way of the future. They saved me a tremendous amount of time and money.
We're so glad John was able to help you navigate this process and find the best deal for your situation. Thanks for sharing, Chris!
K
I contacted Own Up upon a friend's recommendation. The entire process felt effortless and went smooth through to the closing. I appreciated how easy it was to submit an inquiry online and with just a soft credit pull and a quick phone call I had a good idea that I could benefit from Own Up's service. After the initial phone call I was given a link with three different refinance options. My Own Up contact was happy to answer all of my questions with little to no wait time. It took me a few days to decide how I wanted to proceed and in the mean time the offers update every day until you lock in and in my case got even better. I was a little delayed on the final decision and when the original offer didn't appear my rep from Own Up was able to negotiate with that lender and get the offer back on the table. Ultimately, Own Up was able to match me with a lender who offered a generous closing credit and I ended up not needing to pay anything at closing. Although I didn't need much assistance, representatives from both Own Up and the lender were available the whole time and sent updates so that I knew exactly what to expect. Thank you and I look forward to the next time we are able to work together!
We're so glad we were able to work with you on your refinance, Kayla! We're always happy to answer any questions and here to help for your next refinance whenever you're ready. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Tory made the process quick and simple. She was quick to respond to any of my questions/concerns and addressed them in a timely manner. I loved how I could receive updated rates daily/weekly when I was determining the best time to refinance based on the fluctuating rates. Having these emailed to me was much easier for me to check in on things during my busy workday insetad of having to call someone to constantly check on rate changes. I appreciate the work she did and also the way the company is set up to connect me with a lender. I have already recommended Own Up to other friends and family members.
We're so glad to hear Tory was able to help you through your refinance! We'll always be happy to accommodate communications however's best for you. Thanks for sharing your experience and recommending us to your friends and family, Bryan!

I’m so glad I found Own Up and was able to work with Kayla Swinsick. Initially I had signed up for a “see what you qualify for” thing with another company, and for the next week or so I got so many calls, emails and texts from different mortgage companies that were trying to get me to apply with them. The excessive contact was so overwhelming that I was ready to go to my bank and hope we would get a good rate. Then I saw an ad for Own Up, and I’m so glad I signed up and set up a call with Kayla. She walked me through the whole home buying process, we discussed mine and my husband’s financials, and she informed me of what we would be able to qualify for based off the information I provided her. She also informed me of their easy online prequalification letter that I could tailor to a particular offer at any time of day, so I could get an offer in ASAP instead of having to wait for a bank or mortgage company to open for the day. After that call, Kayla would check in to see if we had any questions, and if we had any prospective houses we wanted to make an offer on. She would pull the information of the property we were interested in and give us a rate quote for that property which included the taxes and other information from the MLS listing. The rate quotes included the interest rate, APR, the estimated monthly payment for multiple lenders, and the estimated cash to close which made it extremely easy to compare lenders and figure out which company and rate would be best for us. Due to the crazy market, we’d pretty much have to have an offer ready right after seeing a house, so to try and be more prepared, I’d ask Kayla if she could give me rate quotes for a particular house with 3-5 different offer prices, and she would also include the rates for different down payments as well. I really appreciated this because it helped me see what my interest rate and payments would be like for multiple lenders, including the estimated cash to close. Once we had an offer accepted, Kayla pulled refreshed rates and walked us through how to lock our rate with the company of our choosing. Once we locked in the rate, she introduced us to the loan officers who would be taking care of our loan and we continued on with the process. Although Kayla’s role in the process was pretty much done, she continued to check in with us, our realtor, and the mortgage team to make sure everything was on track, no issues had come up, and to see if we had any questions or needed any assistance. She was always available to answer questions, guide us, and hold our hands through an overwhelming process. She even took a majorly after hours call to clarify some last minute things the day before closing and got in contact with our loan team to make sure the questions/concerns we had were answered with enough time for us to review before closing. Own Up has really made it easy to compare loan options and pick the right loan for you and your circumstances. Own Up, and Kayla in particular, made a typically very stressful process so much easier and less stressful. And we got a great rate! At our closing, the closing agent said “this is your loan rate… wait what? How did you get that rate?!” and it’s all thanks to Own Up and the transparency they provide. I would recommend Own Up to anyone looking to purchase a home, and we will definitely use Own Up again if we find ourselves looking to purchase another home.
Aren't those annoying spam calls the worst?! We're so glad that you set up a call with us. Thrilled to hear Kayla was able to help you through the topsy turvy process of homebuying and home financing. Thanks for sharing your incredible story, Felicia! We're here whenever you need us.

Andrew at OwnUp was awesome. He took the time to review my refinancing goals and found a clever way to lower my rate that I never would have found on my own. Thank you, Andrew! The mortgage company OwnUp hooked me up with was good to work with as well.
That's great to hear, Jake! Thanks so much for sharing your review.

We were first drawn to Own Up because we could be pre-approved without a hard credit check. We didn't want to risk taking a hit on our credit only to find that we wouldn't be able to buy at the level we were hoping to. Own Up gave us the freedom to enter the housing market with confidence. Then, when we found a house and had an accepted offer, Own Up got us an amazing rate. Our realtor was blown away! The options Own Up gave us allowed us to pick the mortgage package that was best for us, allowing us to reduce our closing costs by taking a slightly higher interest rate (and still at a rate that astounded our realtor!). I'll admit it - our realtor was skeptical when we first sent him the preapproval letter from Own Up and suggested maybe we should work with a local partner. We stuck with Own Up, and we are sure glad we did - and so is he.
We're so glad you stuck with us, Kory! Thanks for your trust and for giving us a shot. We know there are a lot of options for homebuyers and we're thrilled we could deliver this experience for you. Thanks for sharing!

Kayla was an outstanding resource for our in a complex situation with 3 simultaneous loans including co-buyers. She helped us understand rate, points and lender trade-offs with total availability and rapid response times to any and all inquires. OwnUp loan summaries were especially helpful for decision making. She was also an advocate for us with the lender ensuring we got OwnUp pricing. Definitely would recommend Kayla and the OwnUp modern approach to selecting a mortgage lender!
That's amazing, Carlos! Thanks so much for your trust and for sharing your review. We're so glad that we could deliver a great experience for you.

We were working with a loan officer for months before I finally gave up on OwnUp. Our officer didn't respond to a lot of the emails I sent, she didn't explain things well, I didn't feel like she actually cared about us, and she either wasn't fully knowledgeable about loans, she lied, or there was some severe misunderstandings happening. She said we wouldn't qualify for a conventional loan so we had to do FHA, but I contacted another lending company and got approved for a 5% down conventional loan under the same circumstances. Overall the communication about different loans, what we qualify for, and just general understanding of the loan process was not good, I don't know the ultimate reason why, but it was unfortunate. We are first time homebuyers and had no clue what we were doing so a little more clarity would have been appreciated. Overall, I think the company is good, but they have a few things to work on regarding customer experience and communication. I never felt like it was a sketchy company though, I think many people will have really good experience with them and I think my experience was uncommon.
Hey Liz, we are sorry to read that this is how you felt about your experience. Our mission includes providing excellent customer service to our clients. Thank you for taking the time to speak with our Customer Success Manager as you provided specific ways we can get better. We take these seriously & greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Own up was great. Charles Pierce was very helpful and knowledgeable, and I never felt pressured to go forward with a loan I didn't want (which I certainly can't say about the other lenders I spoke with). The way I see it, when your rates are low, and your process is straightforward, you don't need to pressure customers. The rates/fees were equal or lower than all other sources I found. Charles also followed up with me throughout the whole process. Everything worked out great. I highly recommend Own Up!
So glad to hear Charles was able to help you through the process and provide information for you to make the best decision for yourself! Thanks for sharing your experience, Will!

Elaine at own up was great to work with. She answered all my questions and was able to find me a mortgage company. she always returned my call and emails very fast. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage. My situation was unique in the fact i was using down payment money received by selling crypto. The mortgage company worked with me to get everything approved.
We're so glad to hear Elaine was able to help answer all of your questions and assist with your unique cryptocurrency situation, Rob! Thanks for sharing!

Own Up was easy to work with and was available every step of the way. This was our first time purchasing a home and we felt confident beginning to view apartments in a competitive neighborhood based on our original conversation and pre-approval. Our Product Manager was knowledgeable and made himself available when we needed to put in an after-hours offer on the home we ended up purchasing. This made all the difference. Own up's transparency was extremely helpful in securing a competitive rate. We never felt criticized or judged for having little knowledge in the home buying process as a first time buyer. We would highly recommend their services to a first time buyer or someone looking to have an edge in purchasing power when buying!
We're thrilled to hear this, Laura! We love helping first time homebuyers like yourself through the mortgage process, and we're so glad your Home Advisor was able to help you make the best decision for your situation. Congrats on the new home! 🎉

The whole process was made much simpler by Own Up. As first-time homebuyers, My husband and I didn't know where to start, so we found Own Up through an online ad and went for it. Jenn our Advisor, was extremely helpful in laying out the process an explaining the financials. She was able to meet with us multiple times to go over anything we needed extra clarification on. They also got us connected with the best realtor, who was involved in the entire process with Own Up, meaning that we didn't have to do anything to get everyone on the same page. We were able to generate pre-approval letters through their online tools when needed and get extra help getting all documents ready for making offers. Once we had an accepted offer, Jenn was able to walk us through the different lender options and suggest the best one for our circumstances. The lending process was simple after that with CBC Mortgage. Own Up made the experience so easy for us to purchase our first home. We will definitely be using them again in the future!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Danielle! We love helping all borrowers, but we especially love when we're able to help first time homebuyers like yourself through the process of getting a mortgage. We're glad to hear Jenn was able to help you make the best decision for your situation. Congrats on your new home! 🎉

This is seriously the easiest and most beneficial mortgage refinance process I have ever experienced. I contacted OWN UP because they handled my last refinance a couple years ago. Since then, the rates dropped so much we wanted to look into refinancing again, cut a few years off our term, and do so without closing costs, if possible. Own Up worked with us to accomplish our EVERY goal and aligned us with the best mortgage lender for our specific scenario. Even the closing was convenient, we had the option of doing it at our home or office. From application to funding was about two weeks. Amazing.
Thanks so much for sharing, Denise! And thank you for coming back to us – we really appreciate your trust and we're so proud to have played a part in accomplishing your home financing goals.

Andrew at Own Up was great to work with. He gave me options, I did some research and called him back to move forward with one of the options. In the few hours between our calls, he had found an even better rate for me. During the refinance process, Andrew checked in with me to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would definitely recommend Own Up, and I already recommended them to some friends.
We're glad Andrew was able to help you through your refinance process, Betsy! Thanks for sharing your experience and recommending us to your friends!

Own Up was a stellar organization to work with which vastly simplified the process of refinancing. The person assigned to my case (Charles Pierce) was helpful from start to finish. He presented and explained thoroughly available options throughout. Charles was always immediate to respond and was very supportive regarding my needs and concerns. It was great having an experienced professional who is familiar with the industry on your side so as to keep the process running smoothly and to ensure you are not being taken advantage of. I cannot recommend Own Up enough and will always work with them again in the future should a need arise.
We're proud that Charles was able to help you through your refinance process and provide you with the service you needed, Zebulin! Thanks for sharing!

I used Ownup to purchase my first home. I didn’t want to deal with multiple lenders and credit pulls, so once I found out about Ownup, I decided to give it a try. It’s free for me so I had nothing to lose. Once I created my profile Robert N contacted me. He was very patient with me explaining how the company works and what is involved in the process. He was with me till the end making sure that everything goes smoothly. He help me put a team together and gave some recommendations. I received about 10 quotes with a very good rate. I was able to close within 6 weeks. Everyone was super professional and reliable which was so important for me during such a stressful time as buying a house. The lender that I have chosen with Robert was quick and responsive. Thanks Rob! Great experience, quick and easy closing. Purchase was in FL and my credit score is very good.
We're glad to hear Rob was able to help you through this process and keep it as stress-free as possible. Thanks for sharing your experience, and congrats on the new home! 🎉

I highly recommend Own Up. At first, I was skeptical, as I was unfamiliar with the model, or the company, but read the great google reviews and decided it was worth checking them out, and I'm very glad I did! I worked with Olivia L. and she was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to my (many) questions, and I appreciated the time she took in the pre-approval process to speak with me and walk me through everything. She also was great at keeping all key parties in the loop and making sure things were moving along as they should be. In addition, the ability of Own Up to connect you with the various different entities you need to work with to complete the mortgage process really streamlined things and I ended up closing a few days earlier than I had originally anticipated. I highly recommend working with Olivia and the Own Up team.

Great service, best rates, and quickest refinance! I came across Own Up and started working with Adam Oltsik. He stuck with me for several months as I waited for the right rate. He never pressured me and just kept providing me with updates and advice. Ultimately, I got a rate I was looking for using Own Up through a company I would never have found on my own. And through that company, I had my quickest closing ever. Thank you, Adam!

I was monitoring refinance rates on a few different site and I saw an add for OwnUp on my facebook feed. Decided to look it up and it gave me the feel of Personal Capital, clean easy to maneuver website. Since they only do a SOFT credit hit I decided to fill out the initial information cause why not. Set up a call and was paired with Andrea. The initial call (I was still skeptical that their prices were going to be like everyone else's) BUT the rates that Andrea gave me initially were so good. Incredibly good. Too good to be true. She was able to share some google excel sheets so we could look at some numbers together to decide which refinance rate I should lock in (20yr vs 30yr). It was all so efficient, she was so knowledgable which made me feel more at ease at locking in a rate with one of their vendors. She checked up during the process and was able to answer a couple questions along the way. I've already recommended OwnUp to three of my friends and two of them were also able to refinance with them as well. TLDR: Seems too good to be true but they are what they seem plus more. Don't hesitate to work with them!

Own Up saved me $5000 in closing costs compared to a local bank which came heavily recommended. I could not have asked for a better experience with Own Up and the lender that I ultimately selected. I would definitely recommend to others. They were very responsive, and I could always get my Own Up broker Rob Natale on the phone very easily if I had any questions. I was a first time homebuyer and felt very comfortable throughout the process.
Congrats on the new home, Tim! We're so glad to hear Rob was able to help you through your mortgage process and help you save money on closing costs. Thanks for sharing!

Steve Williams, home adviser at Own Up was very conscientious in explaining to me how Own Up works. He was not pushy. He has a gentle manner. I felt very comfortable with him and trusting. He took all the vital information he needed. He then searched for lenders that would suit my needs and presented 3 options from 3 different lenders to me. He answered questions I had about each lending program. I was never pressured into choosing one or the other. When I decided on which lender and mortgage program I wanted, he submitted my information to that lender and made sure my rates were locked and that I was formally taken on by that mortgage lender as its client. Every once in a while he would check in on me to find out how the transaction was going. I have re-financed my home many times. This was the least stressful transaction I have every experienced. And because of Own Up and its home adviser, Steve Williams, I was able to save $6,000 a year in mortgage payments. This is the first time I have encountered an advertised product on Facebook that was not only legit, but also truly beneficial.

I worked with Robert to get financing for my home. Robert kept constant open lines of communication. He was always available to answer any questions I had. He assisted with finding me the best rate available in the marketplace for my situation. Some potential delays came up in the process with my lender and Robert assisted with communicating with my lender to understand reasoning and to see if certain things could be accelerated (which they were back to the original timeline). Robert made the first-time home buyer experience for me very smooth and I am extremely satisfied with how things went. I will recommend Own Up to any family or friends who are considering making a home purchase or refinancing in the future!

Own Up did a great job matching us to a lender with great rates on our mortgage refinance. The process was incredibly easy and straight forward. I wouldn't use anyone else. Our Own Up Advisor Rachel Pierce was easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the whole process..
J
I was very happy with Own Up's responsiveness, communication, and follow-up. Our Own Up representative made the refinance process very convenient and easy. Own Up takes customer experience very seriously, and were proactive in seeking ways they and their lending partners could improve their services.
You're right, Johnny – we take our customer experience very seriously and we're thrilled to hear you noticed this. We're so glad we were able to help with your refinance process. Thanks for sharing!

I like that Tehri reached out to me proactively when the rates became appealing enough for us to refinance. She made sure we had multiple options and banks to choose from and kept in touch with us through the entire process. Great attention to detail and customer service. I would recommend reaching out to Tehri, and Own Up , for all refinancing needs.
That's exactly what we're all about, Christopher! Glad we could help you find the right financing option at the right time. Thanks for sharing this!

Rachel was wonderful to work with. She answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable during my refinance process; she went over numbers and explained everything in detail for me. She even jumped in with the lender to ensure things were moving along. You're in good hands with Rachel!

Refinancing my home with own up was fast and simple. They connected me with a lender that ended up saving me over $400 a month and even reduced my term. So happy my dad recommended that I check them out. Evan from own up was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about a process i really wasn't familiar with.
We're so happy to hear this, Jesse! We're glad Evan was able to walk you through your mortgage process and help you save money through your refinance. Thanks for sharing!

I had an amazing experience with Own Up. The process was simple, straightforward, and transparent. Own Up consistently found the best rates compared to other options we looked into and made sure we had everything we needed to finalise our mortgage. I highly recommend Own Up to anyone looking to buy or refinance. Also, shout-out to Evan who worked with us, he was terrific and super easy to work with.

I very much liked having a SINGLE phone call rather than hundreds of phone calls from brokers when I reached out to OwnUp. Before working with Jenn, I made the mistake of answering a couple questions on the Internet about mortgages and I suddenly had a deluge of mortgage companies calling me. Working with Jenn of Own Up stopped this. After our phone meeting, I was given many choices of best fits for a mortgage company and rate. It was a pretty easy process and I felt in control. I did my homework and checked out Own Up on the Better Business Bureau before I worked with them. They have good reviews. I have recommended Own Up to a couple of friends and will continue to suggest them to others.

We loved working with Own Up and our advisor Oscar on our new home! It was such an easy and efficient process. We really appreciated the transparency and level of personalized service and care provided. They brought lending to modern day and got us a seriously great rate. We highly recommend and will definitely use them again!
R
Own Up was able to find me rates and fees that were lower than any other lenders I shopped with. My advisor was very responsive and helpful throughout. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the ability to adjust your purchase price and down payment on your own rather than having to reach out to your advisor each time. They were very responsive but it could save a bit of time if it was self-serve. Overall, I'd definitely recommend using Own Up!
B
Own Up made it really easy to get a pre-approval and get a sense of competitive rates. Their customer service was also really professional and responsive. I wish they had more information about the lenders they work with (ratings?). I'm also not sure why, but I saw different sets of banks at different times on the portal, which was confusing to me. I also would have appreciated a warning when the Own Up pre-approval generator was about to expire -- this led to a bit of scrambling when trying to generate a pre-approval for an offer!
Thanks for this feedback, Bannus. We're glad to hear about your experience overall, and we've taken these notes to our product team to make sure the process is as seamless as possible for future borrowers. Feedback like yours helps us grow and get better – we sincerely appreciate it!

Easy process, useful guidance. I was referred to Own Up by a good friend familiar with the company. I was skeptical at first, but the intake process, personalized approach and follow up, were really great. We were able to get a great rate and a relatively easy process that never required us to leave our house. Own Up remained in contact along the way to answer questions as they came up.

I am a second time home buyer, but this is my first time with Own Up. They made the lender selection process much easier than during my first home buying experience. They helped us shop the rates and make meaningful comparisons between lenders without having to hunt for the information we needed. It was nice to feel like we had someone looking out for our interests. The process gave us confidence that we received the best rate. I have already recommended Own Up to friends, family, and realtors.
K
Working with Own Up was the best decision we made during the home buying process. It was so convenient to have a list of lender options & rates to choose from. Jenn was fantastic in answering all our questions, as we were first time home buyers and had no clue what we were doing! She gave us the knowledge and information needed to determine how much we could afford to purchase and what we would need to do to get a loan approved. Will be recommending to others for sure !

I Needed Support and Help, Own Up was EVERYTHING! When I decided that I was ready to buy a home, I started with research and questioning others who I know had been through the process. The info was overwhelming, as I am a first time home owner, and everyone's experience was vastly different from person to person. So, I started researching the most modern and effective way to home buying and stumbled across Own Up on Facebook. I dug around and decided that there was no harm in contacting them. I set up my phone session and worked with Will Donovan. I was on and off the phone with a pre-approval letter in less that 20 minutes! I was flabbergasted! No way this was legit! But I took my pre-approval letters and started working with realtors. However they pulled my data, it did NOT negatively impact my credit at all. Once I'd found my forever home and made an offer that was accepted, I contacted Own Up again and asked them, "what now"? From there it was just a cake walk! They told me exactly what I needed to do and what to expect. They helped me to determine the best terms for my mortgage loan and gave me several options to consider. They made certain I got the lowest rate I could and got me locked in. Own Up supported, guided, tolerated and coached me through the whole process. When it git too stressful and heavy, they stepped right in to make sure my needs were met and I got the information I needed. They helped push the process along any time there was a snag or hold up from lenders, appraisers, anyone. Will was my lifeline. Own Up helped me to make a dream of mine come true. I never felt, dumb, judged or burdensome; and they were always kind and telling me that they were here to help. I would refer my friends and family to them for sure. I am beyond grateful for what they helped make possible for me.
