This is for 15 yr fixed loan

Anyone cancelled a loan application with one lender and go with a different lender? My current lender has been sitting on it for over 50 days. Wonder if I should worry about anything before I cancel and go with someone else? Looking at loan cabin/better it seems like i can get at least .25 better rate.

Yes. Just make sure you do it before they order an appraisal or you might get stuck paying for that with the previous loan company.

Will my current escrow balance with my previous mortgage company be refunded to me or will that balance carry over to my next loan?

I'm not understanding why Better wants me to escrow 10 months up front when I already have 6 months of escrow accrued.
old escrow is with old lender. It does not get transferred over. Old lender will send money, eventually. You may be able to get Better to adjust the number of months. I actually got them to remove escrow all together when I complained that other lenders did not require it

Call, call, call call, and call again to keep bugging them. Took me 9-10 calls to get them to finally match. If you wait to long, they will request a new LE.. which is what they did to me the first time. Dont wait around.. bug them.. also setup a call from your guy on the website as well, to push the issue.. and then keep calling..

Usually same day - at least it was for me. You can call your Better Mortgage contacts or even schedule a call via their website; I have almost always found their email responses slow (keep in mind a lot of people are refinancing with these low rates)

In the rates, you might have to ask them.

So If I understood correctly. Better will not only match the points or cost of loan, but also give/beat it by $1000 right? or is it either or situation?

It's YMMV. The advertised goal is to beat by $1k. It happens often, but not always.

BUT - once you have locked, they will not do the $1k.... but they did match the other rate, and when I emailed them better closing costs (title), they matched that as well.

Just received my check for $1,000 from the Better real estate program. Should have my $2,500 in the next few weeks. This has been an amazing deal
Could you elaborate on check for $1000, is this something additional to $1000 to price match ?

If other lenders have fluff fee like underwriting and processing fees, does Better try to take those into account. I have a good rate with 0 points from loan depot but they add this fluff.
