Bait and Switch Tactics, Discrimination Against Low-Income
Company gave me the run-around for over a week, originally stating they worked with the "Chenoa Fund" (a down payment assistance program). I applied, was told I would hear back the next day; then 3 days; then 7 days.
Each time, it was I who reached out to them trying to get an answer. About the 9th day, and after applying some pressure, I FINALLY received a return call. Leon had "lost" my application, my information, and wanted to start over again! He stated that the "Chenoa Fund" involved too much paperwork and they didn't want to do it when they had cash buyers in the office or those who didn't require down payment assistance.
He literally stated that I had been shuffled to the bottom of the pile. He then said he "might be able to qualify me for a USDA," but wanted to talk to my real estate agent. He did indeed call my agent, who afterward informed me that Leon didn't feel that Hometown would make a profit by assisting me in any manner and there was simply too much paperwork involved.
So, if you're low-income and/or expect expediency, common human decency, or professionalism, RUN. Find another lender.

Refinance took 5 1/2 months
User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY .....RUN!!!!
We just closed with this company and I had NO idea the payment had to be mailed, otherwise, we would have gone in a different direction. Like you, we were also asked for documents repeatedly...even after we closed! Our refinance took 3 months.

TIM WATSON IS A COMPULSIVE LIAR AND A COCKALORUM.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! TIM WATSON AKA "MORTGAGE MAN TIM" IS A CROOK AND IS GREEDY.
HE USES HIS PHILANTHROPIC WORK AND IDEAS IN ORDER TO COVER UP HIS PLOT AND HIS SCHEME. HE WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF YOUR EMAILS, TEXTS, OR PHONE CALLS. I FINALLY SPOKE WITH HIM AFTER I CALLED HIM FROM A DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER. HE IS A FATHER AND A HUSBAND, AND YET HE HAS NO MORAL VALUES OR CONCERNS FOR OTHERS.
ALL WE NEEDED WAS A QUICK RESPONSE FROM HIM. WHILE HE IS POSTING HIS GOOD DEEDS, AND PHOTOS OF HIS FAMILY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE ARE OTHER FAMILIES THAT HE CONTINUES TO DISREGARD. UNPROFESSIONAL AND PATHETIC.
IT'S SIMPLE, ANSWER YOUR PHONE CALLS MR. TIM WATSON!
I'm sorry - but does this review have anything to do with Mr. Watson's ability to complete a mortgage?
This review sounds more like someone wanting a handout. This website is for BUSINESS reviews.
What do good needs or someone needing "a quick response" have to do with Mr. Watson's ability to close a mortgage loan.

The worst experience ever!
I apologize for any issues you may have had. I personally have not worked on a loan for anyone in McAllen Texas.
To place my name specifically here is very disturbing. I work extremely hard for all my customers. It is true closing costs differ depending on the scenario of the transaction. Some programs offer lower closing costs than others.
I have been with HTL for only 6 months. Making the switch to HTL has not proven to be a very good move on my part. They are not adequately training their LOs on the products and pricing. Any issues you may have had should have been brought to my attention because if you truly worked with me, you know I make myself readily available for my customers 24/7 and I strive to do everything I can to resolve your issues.
Again, im sorry for your experience and I would love to help you again when I am working for another company. You do have my cell phone number.
