The Penland Team - Fairway Home Mortgage

5.0282 Google reviews

The Penland Team - Fairway Home Mortgage is a mortgage lender at 3001 Joe Dimaggio Blvd in Round Rock, so it funds loans itself rather than acting as a broker. Its website is a Fairway Home Mortgage loan officer profile for Josh Penland, which lists him as serving Round Rock and surrounding areas. Reviewers include first-time buyers, a newly self-employed buyer who was approved for a conventional loan, an out-of-state buyer relocating to the Austin area and a Realtor who works with the team.

What people praise

  • Every one of its Google ratings is five stars
  • A first-time buyer who is newly self-employed said the team took time to understand their employment history
  • A Realtor said the team explains unusual financing situations clearly
  • Reviewers repeatedly mention proactive communication and knowing where the loan stands

Worth knowing

  • It is a lender rather than a broker, so it offers Fairway products rather than shopping the whole market
  • Office hours on Google run Monday to Friday

Our take: The largest review base on the page and every rating a five. Choose it if you want one lender handling the loan from application to closing, and still compare its written estimate with a broker's.

How to read the scores

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average. Review volume shows how many people have rated each business, compared with other mortgage firms in Round Rock. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from a large crowd counts for more than a 5.0 from a few. Recency shows how recently reviews have arrived.

What shapes your mortgage cost

What a mortgage costs depends on your credit, the size of your down payment, the loan type, the property and market conditions on the day you lock. Brokers and lenders are paid in different ways, so ask each for a written Loan Estimate and compare the rate and the closing costs side by side. Nothing here guarantees an approval or a rate.
