It is real simple. You give a deposit. That deposit is used to cover incidental cost incurred by the lender. You agree to the deposit. The lender then sends out and appraiser (one of the incidental fees). The appraiser is NOT connected to the lender in ANY way other than an order is placed and they accept to fill that order. The appraiser then does a complex comparison. This is where most of you get confused...if appraisal hits value needed or not... If the value needed comes in...then the loan closes and no issues. Now remember that deposit...it gets credited towards all of your closing cost. If the value does NOT come in then your loan may need to be re-worked if it can be...if it can be then you will be presented with that offer and you can choose to close or not. If you close then guess what happens to your deposit...you guessed it, it gets credited towards all of your closing cost. If you do not like the re-worked loan OR the loan can't be re-worked OR you CHOOSE not to close your loan. Your deposit is used to pay the INDEPENDANT appraiser and the other incidentals like credit report. The appraiser gets paid no matter if the loan closes or not, that is what your deposit is for, that is what you are told at the time of application, and that is exactly what happens and you still "file a complaint"...I don't get it. Quicken does not control the value of your home. 99% of ALL of the "complaints" against this company is in regards to the deposit and everything is fine until the appraisal is too low. If Quicken did that with its appraisers...if they said to the appraiser "get the value we need so we can do the loan or you will not get paid"...that would be illegal and they would be in as big of trouble as Ameriquest. That is exactly what all of you are trying to do. You are saying that if my appraisal does not come in at where we need to close...then please do not pay the appraiser and give my deposit back to me... Also Patti, how did you expect Quicken to pay your taxes if the loan didn't close? Do you not understand how the mortgage process works? It is ok if don't, but you can't blame Quicken for things that aren't their fault....

Please lady!! Get A life and A REAL Job!! Quicken is not a perfect system, try to understand that it has flaws! You are standing up for something that will fail YOU eventually! By the way, how much did they pay you to post THEIR opinion? Good Luck with everthing!

There was no resolution because she's full of crap. No one stole your deposit lady...READ YOUR DOCUMENTS! Also, Quicken Loans does not offer a pre payment penalty, give me a break. 97% client satisfaction. 1.5 billion in closings a month. Don't think your little "we hate quicken loans" club is going to thrive.
