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

Image
It's Pretty Simple: Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates! 26 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. (Averaging .25-.50% lower rates with the same or lower fees). We also offer Free Rate Hedging, Floatdowns and Relocks which takes away the worry on when to time the rate lock and ensuring the lowest rate at closing.

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

Image
Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates  A question that I am often asked is how I can offer a lower rate than the homeowner's current lender/servicer? As a wholesale broker and owner, I receive wholesale rates which are generally .25%-.50% 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.  If you have any questions or would like to make sure that you are in the best mortgage available feel free to contact me.  And, as always, your referrals are greatly appreciated!   Bob McCormick, President   Toll Free 800-328-0144   Email-  McCormickLending@gmail.com Visit us at  www.McCormickLendingGroup.com
