While in general, I agree with you, it is one of those things that doesn't affect me personally too much. In 6 mortgages, the highest title insurance has been for my family has been $300, and half of them were closer to $200. At that cost, it isn't worth it for me to frustrate over.

However, I'd probably sing a different tune for those states where it costs thousands for a title insurance policy.

NC and previously FL
Wow. My title insurance here in Florida was definitely over $1000. Close to $2000 if I wouldn't have had the reissue credit.

Things easily could have changed in twelve years. However, looking at my HUD-1 from Feb 2008, the title insurance policy was $350.

Maybe a state-specific requirement?
Yeah, that could be it. I'm in Texas. Actually I started the process in Florida and then moved to Texas.

Ugh, Better is so useless without an LE. They won't even give their best rate other than what's currently provided by the system. 3.5% with $12000 in points when I current have a 3.375% already. smh.

Anyone try to refi less than a month after a previous refi? Did you have any title issues where the old loan was still on the title?

I had another lender price,--(2.62 with 800 in credit)...they beat that, I also am only borrowing 180k with a lot of equity and 830 credit.
Mind sharing or PM'ing the lender?

Where do you live ? I have never paid less than 1800 in title costs here in PA.
And you can't reissue title in PA.

My better.com guy is trying to match the competing lender by including the $2500 Amex credit in the calculation. I thought they'd match rate, beat ABC by $1000 and then I'd get the $2500 Amex credit on top of that.

Am I wrong?

They won't always beat or match. That's why they have the other $1000 policy in there that they will pay you if you close with a different lender after they couldn't compete with the offer. In my case, they could only match but they did mention the $2500 deal as a kicker.

I would say the Amex 2500 should be cherry on top. They should beat ABC

For all those trying to get LE from other lenders, do NOT sign anything and do NOT submit any docs. The most you should be doing is filling out information about your occupation, assets, etc. and giving your SSN for tax pulls. If they're asking for docs or wanting you to sign something, they're likely trying to rope you into their rate. Just be vigilant and if that doesn't work, find another lender.

Got my $2500 credit today.

Locked in my rate and had a competing loan estimate matched on April 28. Loan was funded on May 14. Credit received on June 16.

I'm doing that now. Previous refi close on 5/13, just locked again on 6/12 with the same property and going through the process. Title report was just ordered yesterday and have not heard back on any issue yet.
