Easy to work with and efficient!
I had a fantastic experience working with Ted Volynets and the Tomo Mortgage team. They were responsive, friendly, and helped me close quickly in just four weeks. I would highly recommend them to anyone else in the home buying process.

Our Editor’s Take on Tomo
Tomo is good for borrowers buying a home looking for a closing guarantee or other perks.
Breakdown of Tomo overall score
-
Affordability: Tomo’s rates are competitive against Bankrate’s averages, and the lender offers several opportunities to save money, whether it’s locking your rate or working with an affiliated real estate agent for a rebate.
-
Availability: Tomo isn’t available in every state yet, and it only offers purchase loans, not refinancing.
-
Borrower experience: Tomo’s website answers a lot of questions you might have about the loan process, and its intuitive rate calculator spins up current offers in seconds.
Affordability: 5/5
Tomo’s website features a “Find Your Rate” tool that allows you to input basic information (type of property, where it’s located, purchase price, down payment and credit score) and get an instant estimate of APR and monthly payment. You don’t have to share any of your personal contact information to get the estimates. The lender doesn’t charge origination or processing fees, but rate locks cost a flat $450.
Availability: 4.5/5
Compared to other lenders, Tomo’s loan offerings are somewhat limited, with a lineup made up of conventional and FHA purchase mortgages. The lender is only available to borrowers in about 20 states at this time.
Borrower experience: 5/5
Tomo is building a solid reputation from its early cast of customers, with a 4.3 out of five-star rating on Trustpilot. The lender is not yet accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
In addition to a convenient rate estimation tool, Tomo’s website offers a simple user experience: You can chat, call or schedule a time with a loan officer seven days a week. If you qualify, you can get a verified preapproval in three business hours, and also start your application online.
Refinancing with Tomo
Tomo only offers mortgages for home purchases. If you’re looking for refinancing options, you’ll need to consider other mortgage lenders.
Alternatives to Tomo
- Better mortgage review – Another digitally-focused mortgage company, but with more loan programs
- Guaranteed Rate mortgage review – Faster preapprovals, but charges lender fees
- Ally Bank mortgage review – No lender fees, plus a wider selection of loan programs
