We price one loan at a time and feel strongly that, putting rates on the internet will confuse more than help. However, we monitor all known websites and area competitors frequently and have yet to find lower rates than ours!
1. Mortgages are not a commodity.
2. Rates and rate locking are more complex than simply publishing one number for all mortgages. Loan size, lock periods, credit scores, LTV and loan programs (FHA/VA, RD, Conventional) all can radically change the interest rate you are quoted.
3. Loan Size - Rates are based on loan size $50,000 loans and $300,000 loans are priced differently.
4. Lock Periods Differ - Is your loan a purchase with a 30 day rate lock requirement or is it a refinance with a 15 day rate lock? The rate lock period could affect the rate quote, possibly in your favor if it is a shorter duration.
5. Numerous Variables - Is your loan a $75,000 condo purchase, with 50% phase completion, 20% down payment, requesting escrow waiver for the property taxes, closing in 40 days, underwritten as a "No Income" loan? Or a $150,000, 85% cash-out refinance, wanting to close in 15 days? Published rates will not reflect many of these characteristics and serve only to frustrate and confuse. An intelligent conversation with one of our Mortgage Consultants could really save you some hassle with trying to figure out a rate.
6. Creative Suggestions - Is your loan a $500,000 "jumbo" mortgage? We may suggest a "combo" mortgage with a conforming first mortgage of $300,000 and a second mortgage fixed for $100,000. This type of mortgage can save you a lot of money. Speaking to us can help us suggest ways for you to SAVE!
Just as you would never make a self-diagnosis as to your health and well being by using a published health web site, you should not "self rate" your mortgage situation.
We are consultants in our style of discussion, without any pressure. Our best customers are educated as to their options and thrilled with the programs we offer. Our customers refer their friends, family and co-workers.
7. Let's face it honesty and the mortgage business do not go hand in hand. There are too many companies who can promise you rates on the internet or over the phone - then do not deliver. We at Grand Oak Mortgage Company stand by our rate quotes even when the markets are working against us. Give one of our Mortgage Consultants a call today to receive the rate of the program best suited to your needs.
