Was offered from quicken: 4.375% for 15-year fixed if we buy down our loan to 125%. Closing cost is around 2800. Can anyone do better? by viveen_522_794 from North Hollywood, California. Mar 22nd 2012
Sounds beatable..Find a local CA mortgage broker
Hi Viveen - That offer seems pretty high. It would be helpful to have more information, but based on what you provided, I can offer a 15 year fixed at 3.5% with around $900 in cost. I also have lower rates with higher costs, and higher rates with lower costs. I have some of the lowest rates in the industry, so if you would like to get a quote, please call me at 800-299-0270 extension #101.
Shoot me an email with your number and I'd be happy to discuss this with you.
You should be dealing with a local mortgage broker, not a bank and certainly not a 50 states internet lender... the broker has access to numerous lenders and can find you the best deal for your particular scenario... WilliamAcres.com
Right now on a typical 15 yr loan conventional rates are sitting around 3.875 today with no costs for the rate. If you need assistance or just some professional advice please give me a call and I can refer you to someone who can give you a better deal. Good Luck
Get a quote from one of the Lender 411 professionals. That quote sounds high to me but there are so many factors that go into the rate. Talking to a local mortgage broker will help you make a better decision. Always best to get a couple of quotes. Good luck.
That's an OK offer, but you can definitely do better. I agree with Ralph. Work locally. The big banks and the Nationwide Mortgage Operations are mostly just order takers. You want to work with someone that knows what they are doing. To become a Mortgage Banker or a Mortgage Broker, you must take 20+hours of education, pass two tests and a thorough background check. At the big guys? None of the above. Who do you want working with your private information on what is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life?

The short answer is yes. I recently completed a no cost, 15-year loan for a client at a 3.375% interest rate. However, without knowing your FICO score, monthly gross income, monthly gross mortgage/revolving/installment debt, and your home's loan-to-value ratio it is impossible to quote you a specific interest rate and costs. The best I can do is tell you it can range from 2.875% to 4% depending upon how much of the loan costs you are willing to pay. 4.375% with a $2,800 loan cost is extremely high for this loan. Give me a call 16/7, or email me, and I'll be happy to walk you through the process. To learn more about me and our mortgage brokerage, click on my picture.
