I locked in the same rate today with a different lender. 2.75 with 1900 in credits. I am in NJ and the credit won't cover the loan costs. So going to try to match with better . With the Amex credit it would be 0 cost

same rate or lower rate?

ie (going from 3% to 2.875%) or same rate but more credit?
Lower rate, but if (a+b+c-j) is more than current better estimate, they will add on points and/or remove lender credit if you had any.

This deal is awesome. I locked in at 3.125 in January, and seeing this wants me to refi.

Quote from sarrisa :
The guy I'm working with is Mathieu. I submitted a loan estimate from Central Bank for 2.75% no points 20 yr and asked for a match. He came back with sure we can do 2.75% and then added 1.35% of the loan amount in points. He basically bumped added points so the closing costs and monthly payments would match Central Banks. This is not how it worked when I refinanced a few months ago Frown
Mathieu was my consultant as well and he was very responsive. It was the smoothest refinance process I have ever been through - lock to close in 3 weeks. I think Better is slammed and trying to not be as aggressive to manage workload.

Hi, did you personally receive an email offer from Amex? Asking because wiki states need to receive the email offer in order to receive the $2500 credit. Thanks.

Also had Mathieu and had loan funded less than 3 weeks from first inquiry. Was an awesome experience.

We closed on a 3.00% with $1770 credit. Could not find any lower offer for them to match. Just got funded this week and waiting to see when they wire my credit leftovers.

I just closed with better.com. Amex offer was 1) no charge for appraisal and 2) 2500 credited to Amex in the near future.

Loan amount of refi was $590,000 in Southern California.

Rate was 2.625 % at 15 years with $440.00 lender credit. 796 credit score.

They matched a loan estimate from lending.com. Fast closing. Great communication. I think loans above $500,000 have higher rates.

Hi all, I've got a multi-part question, any advice is greatly appreciated Smilie

I refinanced with Better back in 2018 and it was a very good experience. I saw this AMEX offer and applied/got pre-approved a couple weeks ago, been getting calls from a guy named Andres - quite responsive and calls me daily to try and get me to lock in rates, but the fees/points are not attractive:

*Currently 3.75% w/28 yrs to go, $230k/$1.1m value in SF Bay Area, 711 FICO per the soft-pull.
*Better is quoting 30yr @ 3% & $2700 in points + approx $1870 closing costs (no impounds).
*Andres will give a $500 discount for being a repeat customer. He tries to make me believe it's a deal since AMEX waives appraisal & the $2500 credit offsets the points (shady salesmanship, IMO)
*Lenderfi's quick quote (based on FICO & income, not actual app): 30 yr @ 2.875 & $693 in points + $1610 closing costs. Will put in an actual app and obtain LE

1) I've read through this thread and notice many of you have significantly larger credits - is that part of the standard rate quote or discounts offered by your loan person (like my tiny $500)?

2) When presenting the LE, is it customary for Better to beat or simply match the competition?

3) Owning.com: does anyone have any recent experiences to share? My whole office got the 2.99 with zero out-of-pocket costs, and now they're 2.75 but I'm waiting to for them to take loans under $300k

4) I've got an investment property as well, and Lenderfi's rates appear to be as low as owner-occupied rates: is it wise or do-able to have two applications happening at the same time? Ideally I would go with Better for my primary home and Lenderfi for the rental

Thank you in advance!
