Emails
Email is a way that we communicate to you but at times it can be brief and informal. Due to this, emails may not accurately represent the entire matter in relation to getting a mortgage, or the mortgage process. In many instances, communications about a particular situation or loan example are exchanged through various channels like email, telephone calls, voicemails, texts, faxes, letters, postcards, instant messages, social media responses and engagement, and in person. Sometimes multiple forms of communication may be exchanged through multiple channels at the same time. Accordingly, an email, by itself, may not accurately reflect the complete communication or intent of Fidelity Home Group as it can be taken out of context. All official home loan matters should be subsequently confirmed in signed writings and documents. Also, the receipt of an email from Fidelity Home Group may not put us on notice of any matters/issues contained within that particular, email.
