It's Pretty Simple: Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates!

Image
  It's Pretty Simple: Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates! 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, high office rents, office management and ancillary salaries and expenses. We then pass these savings on to our clients via lower rates and costs. Combined with our Free Interest Rate Floatdown Option we help our clients obtain the lowest possible rates prior to closing. At any time we can do a quick rate comparison to ensure that you are receiving the lowest rate and costs possible.

Why Your Current Loan Servicer or Bank May Not Offer You The Best Rates

Image
Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates Without question mortgage rates are a very hot topic..   One common question that  I am often asked  is how I can generally offer a lower rate than the homeowner's current lender/servicer (even though I may have originally closed the original loan for the homeowner with this same servicer)? As a wholesale broker I receive wholesale rates which are generally .25%+ lower than what a homeowner's current loan servicer will offer directly as they price rates as "retail" and not "wholesale". Their hope is that the homeowner does not question the fact the loan servicer is only handling the mortgage payments (most of the time Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or VA owns or insured the loan) and a  brand new loan  has to be originated on any refinance.  Ironically, I  work directly and receive wholesale rates from a very well known "automated" lender that advertises day and night on television, internet and the radio throug...
