Poor Communication

Very poor communication throughout. My initial contact was essentially unreachable after he felt he had what he needed from me. Instead I would have multiple “assistants” pepper me with emails, phone calls and text messages, often times all asking for the same thing. The process seemed to take much longer than it should have as a result. Good communication and information-sharing is key in this industry and that really needs to be improved.

Very responsive until funded

While I appreciated the quick information and responses, by the time the loan closed, I had no information to log into my new account. I was told to look for the information, but no phone number to call if it didn't arrive. No reference number to update the insurance. The hand off should have been better. I was getting emails from Lending Tree for my title sign off, however,I didn't use lending tree. Was very weird.

Great work and super easy to work with

Great work and super easy to work with.

Getting the initial call back took a little longer than I would have liked. But to be totally fair, they said it would take 3 business days, and it did. But once I got on the line with the rep and the loan officer, they were amazing to work with and secured a lower rate than I expected.

Great auto refinance experience

I’ve had many other companies offer to help with an auto refinance, but what they would offer was really not much of an improvement. Caribou made the refinancing process easy, fast, and checked every box I wanted to achieve. Great experience!

Loan officer was never available

Loan officer was never available. No one ever helped me, they just demanded I send them information without telling me anything about the loan, who it was going to be with etc. They then told me I needed a down payment 😂. When I am obviously refinancing for a reason. Then I find the offer is $10 less per week on my payment while ADDING $1500 to the amount I would owe. Trash company.
