EDIT information from Better.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I work with Better,com and wanted to see if you could please add in the following information to your post on Amex/Better,com deal as it reads incorrect as it stands, especially regarding eligibility. We want to make sure the offer is stated as accurately as possible:
1) Mortgage rates of any specific customer, stated or otherwise, should not be taken as indicative of a mortgage rate available to all customers. Pricing is based on a number of factors, including the individual credit profile of a potential borrower.
2) The offer is only available to those borrowers who have been marketed to directly by American Express, and those who have not received the offer on their Amex portal or via email are not eligible.

Since this is a purchase, and the title is in the other owners name, it may be harder to get a re-issue rate.
If I were you, I would:
-Ask the seller if they have a copy of the Title Insurance or Policy Number
-Call Chicago Title, talk to an Agent and give them the address and Policy Number (if you have it) Ask for the re-issue rate or a discount.
It's worth the time for a couple of calls.......
Better.com is defaulting to their own Title and Settlement Services..... Better makes money by selling their own services, so they are not going to help you get a cheaper rate from another company. But you have the right to choose who you use.
I like how they give the breakdown of all the fees before you even apply.
I started the process three weeks ago on a 30 year refi and I got a 2.75% rate 2.806% APR with $1,800 in closing fess total (not including reserves for escrow). It had a $972 credit at the time. (Rates have gone up a litte)
If I look at it right now:
HighTechLending 2.75%, 2.828% APR $3,548.64 closing cost including appraisal
LenderFi 2.75%, 2.918% APR $6,714 closing cost including appraisal
Better 3.25% 3.2851% APR will not even give me a break down. All it says is $645 for points so it will probably be higher closing cost then both of them at a much higher APR.
Heck even hightechlending gives me a 3%, 3.056% APR $890 total closing including appraisal. So yeah I am sure Better is more then happy to throw in a $2,500 AMEX credit with a much higher closing cost and APR.

(I guess I am just a little concerned that perhaps I should have been paying a little less for this property... since in my opinion appraisals often are slightly over market value). Would appreciate if someone can share how their appraisal turned out...

Tip: Go directly with them first and lock the rate then ask for matching this offer so you get the free appraisal report as well as $2500. This way you can get the best rate. With the above amex link, there is a slight higher rates.

Is there any truth in that statement?
