About Rates
If you're reading this, we are probably not the only mortgage brokers you've seeked out. Sure, everyone under the sun is offering the lowest rates (attached to some very fine print that is always impossible to read), but are they guaranteed? Just like when we purchase anything else, we'll visit several other vendors trying to save as much as possible, but mortgages don't work that way. With any other industry, there are those that will lure you in with promises of grandeur and surprise you at the closing table. We stand by our motto, "where our word is gold," and don't need to lower to bait-and-switch tactics.
To gain your confidence and ultimately keep our word, there are variables that factor into ensuring the rate you qualify for is the rate you will close with. Please understand that no two loans are alike. For example, let's say you and a friend buy homes next door to each other on the same day for the same amount. The both of you will definitely not be approved for the same rate. The best way to explain why is with an acronym, PICA. PICA, or property, income, credit history and assets, represents the four most important variables in qualifying you for the lowest rate possible. Other factors include loan amount, type and term.
We offer extremely competitive rates and pride ourselves in maintaining unbelievably low closing costs. Let us amaze you,
