Don't sign a mortgage until you've spoken to them!

Pros: excellent customer service, competitive rates, a variety of mortgage products
Cons: a fee is charged for the automatic payment option

 If you are thinking to take a mortgage loan from Well Fargo, prepare yourself to have a lot of problem, and do not even think you can close on time. It has been over 7 weeks since we applied for a mortgage. We still do not have a commitment letter ...
