Written by the company

With HFS, you can rest assured you will be provided with industry-leading loan terms and the best customer service experience possible. Loans powered by HFS Financial are personal loans, which means no equity = no problem. The loan options are based on your income and creditworthiness. Unlike most home improvement loans, you as the consumer get the money funded directly to you upfront. HFS Financial loan programs do not fund to the contractor, which empowers YOU, the consumer, and makes life easier for the contractor when it comes to getting paid. HFS Financial prides itself on being one of the only options that ensures the full funds are disbursed directly to the consumer so that YOU control the money and not the contractor. Why let the lender fund the contractor directly and you have no say? That’s crazy! It’s your money and we believe you should be in control. Whatever your home improvement project is, inside or out, HFS Financial offers consumers access to the best personal loan options available based on our suite of custom-developed loan programs with industry-leading loan terms and low fixed rates. Once approved, loans can typically fund very quickly with little to no documentation required from the consumer. When you complete our fast and easy inquiry, the information you provide HFS Financial is securely transmitted to our in-house team of highly specialized financial loan consultants. In less time than any other home improvement loan process, we’ll have you connected with the project financing you need. We are your one-stop shop for any kind of home improvement loan: swimming pools, metal roofs, hardwood flooring, kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, outdoor kitchens, and so much more.

Easy application process

Easy application process, quick approval, quick funding. I liked receiving the money to disperse directly to the contractor on an approved schedule.

The interest rate can skyrocket!

While the process was as expected with a good credit score and enough income to service the loan. I will say the paperwork at the end really needs a close read. The most difficult thing to figure out is how the credit rate works if you do not give them paperwork which appears to be needed, but they say they will get. Their wording makes it look like your interest rate can balloon to nearly 19% if some paperwork isn't provided. So why does our rate skyrocket if you can't get paperwork from a 3rd party?, Why is the borrower on the hook if you can't get whatever it is that you need from a 3rd party. Not a comfortable position to be in, not knowing if one day your rate will just double. Also, it's unclear what happens if you sell your home either. Is the loan not attached or is it? Very confusing to say the least. (I will say, others complaining about the 4% charge are simply not researching before applying. We were looking at 2 different lenders and it's the first thing you should always look for...It is not hard to find the fees at all. Nobody wants to pay 4% fee upfront, but that's the cost of doing business with HFS, however...the small print on interest rates was something I find bizarre and we're completely uncomfortable taking a loan when the rate isn't actually fixed at all. That's dumb. It is actually a variable rate by letter of the law and marketing it as fixed is probably going to be a class action suit for HFS at some point.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Ok but cumbersome

So the only real issue was after pre approval. The website is very poor in this department. A lot of the back and forth of needs the underwriting needed could have been made clear and available if the info asked by the system was clean and clear. No real issues but I could have provided all info that was needed in one lump if it were explained correctly or asked for the first time. You need to run a test trial on a test person otherwise you won’t see the issues if you do a test with someone who works for you if they already consciously know what you need.

Initial application process was easy…

Initial application process was easy and went quickly. As the process went on, the communication and timeliness lagged compared to other financers I have used. It was fine for me, but if I had tighter deadlines, it could have been a problem.
