Zigzy Mortgages Review

Zigzy Mortgage offers several types of home loans and refinancing options, including conventional loans, FHA loans, and cash-out refinance loans. This is primarily done through Zigzy’s Buyer Accepted program, which is funded through their direct lending division, New American Funding.

The advantage of going this route is that it can help you become a cash buyer. This could save you money – if the seller is willing to sell below the asking price – and make it easier to buy property.

Zigzy Mortgages Terms & Requirements

Zigzy Mortgage offers a variety of home loans and refinancing options. Unlike many direct lenders and marketplaces, the rates, terms, and eligibility requirements are not clearly indicated. You’ll need to apply or speak with a representative to get specific details on the financing options.

With that in mind, most mortgage lenders require basic contact, financial, and credit information (credit score). You will also need to indicate whether you have a real estate agent, as well as the estimated price of the property you want.

Zigzy does not provide cash offers for manufactured homes, condos, or new construction.

Customer Support

The best way to contact Zigzy is via phone at 855-659-4499. This directs you to their customer care team, which can also help you with the application process if needed. Generally, the team is responsive and knowledgeable about any questions you may have.

There is no live chat feature, nor are there bots. For queries that don’t require a fast response time, contact the team via email. It typically takes a couple of business days to receive a response.

Privacy & Security

Zigzy Mortgage’s privacy policy page indicates that they collect “Personally Identifiable Information.” This is standard information you provide when applying for a loan, requesting a quote, and so forth. It may include your contact information, name, or Social Security Number.

Like many online lenders, Zigzy may share specific information with their service providers or as required by law. This is typically done to help improve user experience, improve their products, and provide relevant ads.

Zigzy uses standard security measures to try to prevent data breaches or leaks. This includes encryption technology to keep application details secure. However, as with other online companies, these measures are not 100% secure.

In Conclusion

Zigzy Mortgage prides itself on making the home-buying experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Their model is to make a cash offer on your behalf and then have you take out a mortgage from them. This increases the odds of you getting the property you want – sometimes for a lower price.

The main drawback is that Zigzy doesn’t disclose much information about their mortgage amounts, repayment terms, fees, etc., until you apply. They also don’t clearly list their eligibility requirements, such as whether you must have good credit to qualify.
