  I accepted a contract for sale of my home at $183,900 with a settlement date of 11/5/21. I had a previous appraisal of $191,000. The buyer / lender (Guaranteed Rate) received an independent appraisal for $183,000, which appeared to be a mistake by the appraiser inputting the value. My realtor was provided the appraisal on 11/1 at 7:00 pm indicating the appraisal came back at $183,000 ($900 less than the agreed upon sale price). My realtor tried to call the loan officer multiple times the morning of the second and sent an email with no response. At 10:41 on 9/2, my realtor received a call from the buyer's agent saying that the lender said if we could get a price adjustment to them by 12:00 that day, we could still close on 11/5. In order to avoid delay of the settlement, I ate the $900. I find this very unfortunate as it appears to have been an error and the lender was not very timely or responsive to allow for the appraiser to make an adjustment and still settle on 11/5. The lack of communication did not even give us an opportunity to have a discussion without postponing the settlement. Furthermore, attempts by my realtor to at least seek an explanation after the settlement were non-responsive by Guaranteed Rate. I find it very unfortunate that I had to lose $900 of the agreed upon price when the buyer was definitely qualified and the house should have easily appraised for $183,900 and this all stemmed from an error (not on my part) that I had to take the hit for in order to not delay the settlement. At the very least, Guaranteed Rate should acknowledge our inquiry and respond.

  Good afternoon,
  
  

  As ************** was previously advised, we were unable to locate a loan with the information he provided. Additionally, as ************** was not the borrower associated with the loan, we are unable to discuss this transaction with him.

  We trust that this fully resolves the matter. If you have any further questions or if you require further information, please feel free to contact us directly.
  
  Thank you and have a wonderful day!

  More info

  In June of 2021 we refinanced with Guaranteed Rate. In August our first payment was due. We were provided an address to send the payment to but it was changed in between the closing and the first payment due date and were never notified of that change. Our first payment was deducted and paid on August 4th 2021 and the payment was supposedly forwarded to the new address. The payment that was deducted from my bank account on August 4th 2021 was NEVER applied to my mortgage. I have sent in numerous emails to show proof of this payment which are copies of bank statements and an actual copy of the check since September I have been trying to fix this with the company and have been getting nowhere. The representatives keep saying they will escalate this matter but nothing ever comes of it. I am tired of this run around and will be letting everyone know personally and on social media to NOT refinance or go with this mortgage company in general. Now our credit scores our effected and that is even a bigger mess. And we are "delinquent" with a $100 late charge. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. Any further documentation that is needed please let me know and I will provide. Thank you for your prompt attention to this frustrating situation.
