Is Silverton Mortgage Reputable?
Silverton Mortgage is a reputable mortgage company, although the 2023 J.D. Power Mortgage Origination Satisfaction Study didn’t profile it. In 2018, it was acquired by Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, a Berkshire Hathaway company that has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. In 2023, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau received 24 mortgage-related complaints about Vanderbilt, most of them about trouble during the payment process. The company provided a timely response to all complaints and closed each with an explanation.
Silverton Mortgage only offers purchase loans, so if you’re interested in refinancing an existing mortgage or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
