Where Can I Find Others' Opinions On Reputable Mortgage Companies?

We are looking to refinance our mortgage. We had a bad savoir vivre with a mortgage broker the first time around. Aside from the BBB, are there any websites where I can find others' opinions/experiences with mortgage companies?

Having received some offers already, there are a few which look too probity to be true. The majority of the offers so far are at the same, somewhat higher rate (which seems to be the normal classification for our area). I just want to do some background research on the few companies that are offering the mark down rates before we accept one of them.

Thanks!

How Do Mortgage Companies Make Their Money?

Do mortgage companies neaten up money by offering a higher interest rate. For example- one mortgage lender is offering 6.5, and mine is oblation 6.75. If they are both equal for service, closing costs, etc., how could one offer a lower scale? Do they stand to make money off of the extra .25%? I tried to negotiate the assess with my current lender, down to 6.5%, but they told me they could not. Are they lying, because they feel they already "have me"?
But isn't their status, based somehow on the fed rate?


Lenders valuation individually using a procedure called hedging. Some lenders have a higher expenditure of doing business and so will hedge accordingly.

One thing to check though is to find out if the lender quoting you 6.5% has the same APR as the one quoting you 6.75%. If the APR is higher on the lessen rate, there are extra costs in there someplace.

For a 30 year fixed chew out today my rate sheet says that 6.75% is at par (no buying the rate down) with a 1% accommodation fee on a 30 day lock. 6.5% costs an additional 1% in discount to buy down to that price.

Can Mortgage Companies Pull Bank Statements And Verify Income?

Just now want to know what information mortgage companies can and can not verify. Do they just use the information you send to them.


Oh my heck...yes they will not start b withdraw the bank statements, they will have you furnish your bank statements, Retirement information statements, Statements on any in the red you might have, paycheck stubs. They will pull your credit history and fico score.

AND, they may have you supply this information several times and often won't give you much time to get it. They do use the information you give them, but you will most likely have to go to the bank and get a very official replicate of the information or have the bank send them a copy.

Here is what I did when I was doing my mortgage. I went in and talked with the Mortgage lender. I had her colour me a list of what information she would need and I gathered it all together and took it to her. That said, it took me a while to find my auditorium and so because so much time had passed I had to furnish all the information to them again.

Good luck.

Homeowner to Mortgage Servicing Company: "Step Up and Do the Right ...

I am a sap of Mortgage Servicing Four-flusher.  My thriller began with a go-between acquired mortgage, sold to Countrywide. Countrywide either misapplied or "strayed" $11400 in payments.  They filed in court against us although we had keep up of the payments. A we continued to oppose the amount they were in pecuniary tormenter so they sold our loan. 2 wks later they were bought by B of A.  Our allow went to a new associates named Quantum. They accepted $19200 in payments, but applied most of it to fees associated with the buried payments that had been sent to Countrywide.  We contacted our Splendour Attorney All-inclusive and paid an attorney ($5K).  Kondur in the end came to an concurrence with us because of twist someone's arm applied by the Splendour and our attorney.  They agreed to agree to bear our support, wrote off the many fees (although were were still out the liquid assets that was captivated by Quantum and applied to fees, not payments), stuff up the court proceedings and accepted our back payments ($20K).  They sent us a verify detailing the parameters of the accord and required us to put one's John Hancock on and notarize the certificate and wire the $20K to them within 24 hours, which we did.  They accepted the next month's on beat payment and then sold the allowance to another convention. The new group now sent us a account showing all the up to the minute fees and buried payments as being due and the mortgage in dishonour. When we contacted them they said that Kondaur sent them notification that they were in discussions with us, but that there was never any covenant.  We are faced with paying more judicial fees and usual around and around again on this already settled climax. We are frustrated, irritated and infuriated.
