From start to finish I had an excellent experience with NAF. They got me refinanced very quickly with a great interest rate and lower payment immediately. I was very unhappy with my previous mortgage bank and now I feel very safe. Michael Bigley was great and made the process seamless!

Jonathan was a pleasure to work with. He worked very hard to get us our loan and was relentless in overcoming obstacles as they arose. My loan was not an easy one to close, but Jonathan helped make it happen. He is a true asset to NAF.

This company has terrible customer service. I had some storm damage and needed repairs to my home. The check needed their signature. I was told to do ACH to get funds faster. They held my check for 15 days and wouldn't send the funds. Kept changing their story on why. Now i have a contractor coming after me because of them.

Reply from New American Funding

We apologize for the frustration and delay in receiving your funds during such a stressful time, Kevin. Because your property is the collateral for your mortgage, insurance claim checks (loss draft checks) must go through a strict verification process to ensure the home is properly repaired, which is why standard clearing holds of up to 15 days can occur even with ACH.

To help get your contractor paid immediately, please contact our Loss Drafts / Insurance Claims Department directly:

Phone: 1-888-884-5314 (Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM CT)

What to have ready: Your loan number, the contractor's contract/invoice, and a signed W-9.

We will review the exact status of your hold and work to expedite the release of your funds as quickly as possible.

Extremely Disappointing Experience

Extremely Disappointing Experience — Avoid This Company

My refinance with New American Funding was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a lender. What should have been a simple process turned into weeks of unnecessary stress due to repeated mistakes, delays, and a complete lack of accountability from both the supervisor and the Senior Loan Officer handling my file.

Major issues included:

Rate changes that created avoidable complications

A missed manufacturing date that caused delays

A timeline that dragged on far beyond what was promised

Repeated errors about which credit cards were supposed to be paid off

A sudden $6,000+ change in the cash‑back amount compared to what was originally presented

These weren’t minor oversights — they reflected a breakdown in leadership, communication, and basic attention to detail. Emails addressing serious issues went unanswered, and the lack of transparency made the entire process even more stressful.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration, delays, and stress you experienced during your refinance. This is absolutely not the level of service or professionalism we aim to provide, and we take your concerns regarding our supervisor and Senior Loan Officer very seriously.

We want to look into your file immediately to address what went wrong. Please reach out to our Escalated Customer Relations team directly at 1-800-450-2010 ext. 7100 for further assistance.

Best hands down

This wasn’t the first, and won’t be my last time working with Jason. Even when I was traveling and working insane hours, he always made himself available. Even when there was no updates, he would call just to check in and made sure I knew exactly where everything stood.

Mary Hammon and New American Funding is…

Mary Hammon and New American Funding is awesome. It had been years since I’ve done a real estate transaction. My wife and I had intentions of selling and moving to a small place on the lake. However my wife was diagnosed with cancer and our dreams were put on hold. I was so worried about what to do. I done some research and it lead me to NAF. I can’t begin to tell you the pressure that was taken off me. Mary Hammon our loan specialist walked me through every step of our refinance. She answered every question, every phone call and email. Her entire team did as well. I applied on the 3rd of May and we closed on May 29th. I’m extremely grateful for Mary Hammon and NAF! Thank yall for everything! God Bless!

Thank you so much for sharing your deeply moving story. First and foremost, we are sending our warmest thoughts, prayers, and strength to you and your wife. We know that navigating a cancer diagnosis is incredibly heavy, and we are so humbled that Mary Hammon and our team could step in to take some of that pressure off your shoulders during such a challenging time.

Providing a seamless, compassionate experience is always our priority, but knowing we could bring you peace of mind and close your refinance in less than a month (from May 3rd to May 29th) means the world to us. Mary and her entire team will be deeply touched by your gratitude, and we will make sure they receive your beautiful message.

Thank you for trusting New American Funding to support your family. We are extremely grateful for you, too. May God bless you and your wife with strength, healing, and peace!
