I'm in texas. Better assigned me Radian..
Title - Endorsements $192
Title - Guaranty fee $2
Title - Lender's title insurance $2,337
Title - Settlement fee $225
Title - Tax certificate $75

i asked for the reissue rate of the title but they haven't updated that yet. this seems really high.
I was in same boat as you couple of weeks ago (in TX). Hence, I sent them a competing title quote from https://www.titleclose.com/. It took them about a week but they increased the LC to match the difference. Eventually, when the final CD was issued prior to closing, Radian changed their rates to reissue rates and hence, I came out ahead because they had increased the LC earlier. Hope this information helps.

BTW, I closed on 6/11 and loan was funded on 6/16. Rate was 2.5% for 15 years.

I don't have Amex card, did this $2500 offer work for anyone who just opened the Amex credit card account, and the next day applied for a mortgage through better.com?
I'm counting on that. From what I can tell the offer is available to any Amex card holder (as long as the card isn't a co-branded card). I applied for the Amex card last week and I'm in the process of doing my refi now. Fully expect to get the credit. The amex offer has been referenced in some of the email communication with better so that also makes me pretty sure I'm good to go.

Yes. After locking they changed/matched two times.
Is this true? even after locking and you've submitted everything. They can still match again?

Umm because rates and terms are often better when agree to escrow? I've been successful in removing it a few months later with actual servicer.
It depends on your ltv. If ltv is low enough (how low? That idk) the rates and credit/ points won't change.

No. One of the loan applicants must be the primary owner of the Amex.

You don't "add" anything. Follow the link on the first page.

And that 20k has to be paid in any case, escrow or not. I know that escrow can suck especially when are asked to overpay some reserve amounts on top of what's actually due. However would you give up 2k in lender credits or accept an interest rate of .125% higher to remove escrow (or take the chance that some months down the line after closing can again remove it)? That was the difference quoted to me for a 500k 30 yr loan with LoanDepot
People paying 20k in taxes and insurance are typically in houses that appreciate heavily and have an extremely low ltv like 30% or lower. Escrow doesnt save you anything in those cases. Plus 20k paid half a year early is a big deal. Throw it into tsla and it will become 40k in a month.

Quote from psmoove :
After 4 weeks, I am finally closing with Better on Friday. I was not happy with the title company they used (Title365) as there were numerous delays during the process. I had initially wanted to use my own title company but Better convinced me not to because they said it would delay the process. Well, it eventually got delayed anyway. I complained and they issued me another $250 in lender credits as a recourse.

Aside that, it was a fairly smooth process. Good communication from their employees throughout. Happy with the rate that we are getting (2.5%, 15 year) and I received enough lender credits that will pay for all costs and most of the prepaids. And of course the $2500 Amex credit is just icing on top. Thanks to this thread for all the tips and advice!
What is the loan amount ? How much credits did they give and what state ?

Has anyone tried to match against a lower LE 2nd or 3rd time after closing? I just signed contract and about to lock rate with Better. Wondering if I should immediately get matched the lowest rate I currently have from competitor or wait in case I can get a better rate to match?
Dont try too many times.. Wait till the end ..Second time they shot down..

Yes. I initially locked at 2.5% with $1.5K in points paid by me. After a week, I negotiated on points to reduce it to $500. At the end, I pushed back closing date and submitted another loan estimate - which they matched. I ended up closing at 2.375%, 15 years, No points. Thinking about it again - I would wait until the end, get the best loan estimate and do it once.
