LoanFactory Review

Depends

Should I use LoanFactory?

WE DARE YOU TO COMPARE - loanfactory.com

· 3 days ago

LoanFactory is a US mortgage brokerage, not a software product — only home-loan borrowers should 'buy' here. Independent Trustpilot reviews are Poor (2.6/5) while most praise is self-hosted, so compare lenders carefully before applying.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; many positive reviews are self-hosted by Loan Factory officers, so independent signals are limited.

Best for

  • US homebuyers wanting a broker instead of a bank
  • First-time buyers eyeing low-down-payment programs
  • Borrowers with middling credit comparing broker options

Not for

  • Anyone shopping for software — this is a brokerage, not a tool
  • Borrowers who rely on independent review sites
  • DIY borrowers wanting published, transparent pricing
  • Non-US buyers — US residential mortgages only

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Independent Trustpilot rating clashes with on-site 5-star claims — verify before applying.

medium

No published fee table; broker compensation varies per loan — request a Loan Estimate early.

Each officer's site carries its own terms and contacts; experience may differ by officer.

Advertised rates are marketing snapshots; real pricing depends on your credit profile.

Not software — a mortgage broker. Fine to shop a loan; Trustpilot 2.6 'Poor' vs self-hosted 5-star pages means verify first.
