Loan Specifics - 5 / 5

LendingTree is a marketplace, so specific details about FHA loan offerings will depend on the lender the consumer selects. However, their FHA loan rate calculator indicates their lender network offers three FHA loan options. Regarding loan qualification requirements, LendingTree reminds prospective borrowers that the Fair Housing Administration sets minimum requirements, but lenders have the option of setting higher overlay requirements.

LendingTree Customer Experience

Customer Experience - 5 / 5

While their online quote tool is easy to complete, LendingTree requires you to create an account to view your offers. This may deter some consumers who would rather not enter any personal information at all. Their FHA loan rate calculator, however, is very useful. Consumers can enter the information about the home price if purchasing or loan balance if refinancing, your credit score, and zip code, and LendingTree will provide a summary of FHA loan interest rates for three different loan types from several lenders in their network.

LendingTree Lender Reputation

Lender Reputation - 5 / 5

LendingTree boasts a great A- rating from the Better Business Bureau, with fewer negative reviews than positive reviews. Most costumers complain that they receive calls from lenders after filling out LendingTree's quote application, but this stems from a misunderstanding about what LendingTree does. LendingTree does not provide loans itself, but as a loan broker, connects consumers with lenders. Forwarding prospective customers to qualified lenders is precisely the service the company provides.
