Do rates move at all today with the US markets being closed?

Unfortunately, my experience with better.com has been extremely stressful. They ignore all emails. It is very hard to get hold of anyone even for important changes. Moreover the title company doesn't even provide the email address of the person who will be dealing with closing docs. I am seriously considering backing out of the deal. $2500 amex offer is awesome but i wonder if it worth this much stress.
I am sure some run into this. Maybe something about your loan that the do not like? No idea.

I think I have only talked to someone on the phone maybe once. Maybe none. Got at least 4 different LE from them before I locked. Got emails from various people as it moved through the process including their title company. Sent a better title estimate and lowered it the same day to match. From first email to final disclosure was about 10 days. Mainly because I sent them multiple competing LE. I am doing a $180k refi with 746 FICO, 30% LTV.

Got note today asking for AMEX account for eventual credit. Closing has $2,200 for all costs and a $1210 credit from lender. So about $1000 for closing, and $2500 credit later.

Not sure how rates are determined. I'm sure global markets have a factor in US interest rates...

It appears you have not read any of this thread.

Common comments are get multiple quotes. Now.
Thanks! My.concern is agent might not be willing to match or beat at all(as she has hinted that I am better off going there). My refinance would only.make financial sense if I get 2.75% on a 30year with 2500 from amex. It doesn't help me going with competitors quote( unless they give a huge lender credit). So I am checking if anyone had similar experience and if they worked around this issue of agent unwilling to match competitors quote

I started about 10 days ago I think... locked within a week. Is everything uploaded to them? Awaiting appraisal? (we did not have to do one).

What are your details? You must already have a low 3% loan if only 2.75 works for you. As to the agent not willing to match, move on to another. Share a bit more detail and folks will help out.

Looks like AimLoam turned off their automatic LE process if you apply via the website. Now its only giving a calculation sheet instead of LE. Oh boy... getting more and more difficult to get any LEs now...

I just got a lender estimate online from AIM loan. The rate is 2.875 % with $1400 lender credit plus $1000 lender fee for an investment property ($180k; 15 y). I emailed LE to Better for a rate match but not many are working today.

Earlier, Better matched 3.25% rate (15 y) with a lower cost and I locked at that time.

I know this has been discussed before but I saw conflicting responses. So just want to double check. Is personal delta skymiles amex card eligible for the offer? Thanks!

Hard pulls cant be removed. Some people refinance four times a year. They dont care about a hard pull. Lenderfi is a terrible company. They make getting an estimate a nightmare.

Loan depot is going to spam you like crazy. Why cant companies give online estimates without personal info? This whole refinance game is a terrible experience. Buying tsla is much more fun.
Hard pulls can be removed if you have cause. But sometimes it's more work than it's worth.

Anyone see this specific issue?


I applied last week at 3.375% with $2000+ in costs and 2 days ago I had Better Match down to 2.75% with $1000 in credit.


I went to go lock today and I am seeing the rates all different and almost back at the 3.35% rate and am not sure if its because of the holiday but the Loan Estimate numbers are not the rate.

I just got another LE from AimLoan. If your credit is frozen, just go through the application process and you'll get a chance to print the LE after submitting.
