Methodology

To determine a mortgage lender’s Bankrate Score, Bankrate’s editorial team rates lenders on a scale of one to five stars based on a variety of factors relating to the lender’s products and services. Bankrate’s partners compensate us, but our opinions are our own, and partner relationships do not influence our reviews. Here is our full methodology.

Affordability: 3/5

As a wholesale lender, Homepoint’s rates vary on a case-by-case basis. While costs might include administrative and underwriting fees, you might be eligible for discounts or rebates through your broker. If you’re refinancing, you might be able to save on the appraisal with either a waiver or $500 credit.

Availability: 4.8/5

Homepoint’s loan products are available through brokers in all 50 states. Its offerings include conventional mortgages, FHA, VA and USDA loans, cash-out refinances and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs).

Borrower experience: 4.3/5

Since being established in 2015, Homepoint has originated more than $220 billion in loans and grown to one of the top 10 lenders in the U.S. It is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an A+ rating from the organization.

Among its capabilities, the lender offers the ability to e-sign documents, and once you close your loan, you can use the Homepoint app to manage your mortgage payments and explore refinancing options.

Homepoint’s customer service hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET.
