- Rating 5.0September 26, 2022Melinda Thomas and Patricia Rozich were wonderful to work with. Melinda went above and beyond to get us a pre-approval letter in a tight timeframe. Patty helped us work through all the challenges of providing the right information with being self-employed.
- Rating 5.0September 26, 2022The Chase representatives were great and work hard to satisfy the client. However, Underwriting was notorious.
- Rating 5.0August 26, 2022Negotiations for the purchase were lengthy and difficult. Melinda (Thomas) was very helpful and patient all the way through. Patty Rozich was always there to answer my inquiries as well. They made this experience a lot easier.
- Rating 5.0July 22, 2022My main contact Melinda was great on this loan.
BUT, if Chase is going to do business in Colorado mountain communities (my closest branch is in Vail), you're underwriters are going to have to become familiar with the location. I had problems with underwriting understanding the type of condo property I was buying.
Most people where I live recommend avoiding the large national banks. It's because of reasons like this. As a Private Client, I get a very competitive rate from Chase and people like Melinda work hard to make the process as easy as possible. - Rating 5.0July 8, 2022Melinda, Patty, and Hortensia were absolutely Awesome. Always answered our questions and if they didn't have the answer (which wasn't often), they found out.
