Disaster Assistance

Caliber Home Loans offers mortgage payment assistance to homeowners in the event of certain extenuating circumstances. Houses that are in designated FEMA areas potentially qualify for the following assistance under the direction of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the USDA, VA, and FHA entities:

• Late fees will be suspended
• Loan payments will not be reported as past due to credit bureaus
• Possible eligibility for additional disaster loan options (depending on your loan program and situation)
• Some foreclosure protections may be accessible

Real Estate Listings Search Tool

To help you find your future home, Caliber Home Loans provides a search tool to show real estate listings in your area, price range, size, and more. This is a helpful tool because you can find homes that you're qualified for right away, and you can get pre-approved for certain homes within just a few minutes.

Educational Resources

Because buying a home can be a somewhat confusing process, Caliber Home Loans provides a wealth of educational resources to help prospective homebuyers better understand what is happening. The company offers a resource library that includes information about loan qualification, mortgage rates, escrow costs, mortgage insurance, closing costs, and other topics helpful to the consumer.

No Rates Displayed Online

Caliber Home Loans does not provide several important pieces of information on its corporate website. For example, the company has not listed interest rates, closing costs (including origination fees), or minimum credit score on some loan types.

Though mortgage rates vary depending on loan types, loan amounts, and each customer's eligibility, many top companies provide calculators that give prospective borrowers an interest rate estimate based on a 30-year conventional loan scenario.

No Home Equity Loans or Lines of Credit

Caliber Home Loans doesn't offer home equity loans or lines of credit. If you are interested in these products you will need to look into other mortgage lender options.

Caliber Home Loans Reviews

The majority of Caliber Home Loans ratings reward the company only 1 star. Many customers outline dissatisfactory experiences with the company, with most complaints centered around poor customer service - difficulty in connecting with Caliber representatives, endlessly being sent from one representative to another, not receiving answers to questions, etc. 

It is important to note that Caliber Home Loans reviews are currently limited and so they may not paint the most accurate picture of the company.
