Today I received an email from PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) touting new lower mortgage rates:
"Limited-Time Offer -- PenFed Lowers Mortgage Rates AGAIN!"
The 5/5 adjustable rate mortgage is now just 2.75%, with no origination fees and PenFed paying closing costs up to $10K. (There's also the 5 year HEL with a 1.99% rate; the HEL rate is not new.)

The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now just 3.375%, with no origination fees (per fine print on the application page).
https://www.penfed.org/30-Year-Fixed-Mortgage/
PenFed used to charge a 1% origination fee on all fixed rate mortgages, but right now the 30-year fixed rate mortgage seems to be exempt!
There are many ways to join PenFed; for example, you can make a donation to the National Military Family Association. The PenFed website has further details:

Thanks, I didn't know that. I will request Thomas Racioppe.

The payoff amount listed for my current mortgage is $136,491.19, the new loan amount is $139,500 and they want $1462.03 in cash/certified check at closing Friday. They are rolling my current escrow of $1600 into new loan.
This is for a 20 year loan at 3.875%
Fees I see are:
Origination: $650
Points: $1220.63
Credit Report: $15.05
Tax service: $14
Flood Certification: $5
Daily Interest (7/1013 to 8/1/13): $325.82
Refer to Addendum for additional fees (but I see no addendum): $714.93
Reserves deposited with lender (homeowners insurance 12 months @ $81.75 = $981, Property Taxes 5 months at $233.34 = $1166.70, Aggregate Adjustment = $51.93)
Settlement or closing fee: $550
Lenders title insurance: $320
Government Recording charges: $175
Anyone think this is crap or is it ok? Keep in mind my house is not worth much more than the $136K or so I owe on it.
Then again I used a full price agent and she literally came out to my house one time, took some pictures, and put it on the MLS so I would say a lot of it actually depends on what agent you get.
As a buyer I would totally use a service like that though.
