It's Pretty Simple: Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates For Our Clients ("Don't Overpay For Your Mortgage!")

Image
It's Pretty Simple: Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates! We average .375-.50% Lower Rates versus the competition with the same or lower fees! 25 years ago, after working for large banks and mortgage banking companies, I figured out how to operate a mortgage company using a business model which allows us to offer ultra-low interest rates for our clients. By receiving Wholesale Interest Rates, and as the sole-owner/loan officer, I personally control our pricing model which keeps our rates very low versus the competition. We have cut out the extra layers of loan officer commissions, advertising costs, office salaries, rent and ancillary expenses and pass these savings on to our clients via lower rates. We also offer Free Rate Hedging, Floatdowns and Relocks which takes away the worry on when to time the rate lock.

Wholesale vs. Retail Mortgage Rates

Image
Wholesale vs. Retail Mortgage Rates Explained We work with several banks and mortgage wholesalers that allows us to shop rates for our clients.  Being that we do the origination and processing for these sources we receive Wholesale Rates which are discounted from Retail Rates (rates offered from bank branches, direct mortgage lenders, current loan servicers etc.). There can be a large variance (both positive and negative) between lenders on a daily basis regarding the Wholesale Rate that they offer as they compete for market share.  Being that we have several sources to choose from for our client we always have aggressive pricing options. Once we close a loan for our client the loan is then serviced by the bank, lender or servicing company.  The majority of the time they have an internal Retail division that may re-solicit the client for future business. They will make it seem that they can "streamline the mortgage process" as they currently have the loan in their s...
