Purchase and refinance with education, not sales.

Understanding the three buckets of closing costs, knowing what discount points really are, and seeing the actual cost of each program will leave you making the best decision for your family.

Refinance and HELOC

Lenders advertise no-cost refinance options constantly. The costs are always there, either rolled into the balance or bought with a higher rate. We will take the time to show you how we do ours and save thousands.

Rates

Why the advertised number is not real.

What is a teaser rate?

Look anywhere, online, big banks, credit unions, every mailer you have ever received, and you are looking at teaser rates. They advertise the best case scenario, which is almost certainly not your scenario, and charge points for a rate below market. The phone rings, and the costs show up at closing.

Why do rates move so much?

Fifteen years ago rates moved a quarter point over a month. Today the market is volatile, and the secondary market updates rates three times a day: at open, mid-day, and late afternoon.

How should I shop rates?

Apples to apples. Pricing from the same day, for the same scenario. A quote from Tuesday against a quote from Thursday tells you nothing useful.
