Your rate isn’t
a billboard number
Mortgage rates depend on your credit profile, loan type, down payment, property, and more. National averages tell you almost nothing about what you’ll actually pay. We’ll tell you your number — fast, free, and with no credit pull to start.

Why the number you
Googled isn’t your rate
Every week, Freddie Mac, Bankrate, and others publish national average mortgage rates. Those numbers are real — but they describe the average borrower, in the average situation, getting a loan from an average lender. That’s almost certainly not you.
Your rate is personal. It reflects your credit score, your down payment, your loan amount, your property type, and which lender we match you to. Two borrowers buying the same house on the same day can get rates that differ by half a point or more.
The only way to know your rate is to ask someone who can actually quote it — and that takes about 10 minutes.
Most rate surveys assume a 740–760 credit score. A 680 or a 800 both change your rate meaningfully — in opposite directions.
The rates you see advertised come from banks quoting their own products. We access pricing from 25+ lenders and find the one that fits your situation — often beating those advertised numbers before we even negotiate.
Condos, multi-family, rural properties, and investment properties all carry different pricing. One rate doesn’t cover all of them.
A rate you saw last Tuesday may not exist today. The only rate that matters is the one we lock for you, on your timeline.
What actually
determines your rate
One of the biggest drivers. Higher scores unlock better pricing tiers — though where exactly the best tier begins varies by lender and program. Below 680, some programs become unavailable, but others open up.
Higher down payment = lower loan-to-value = better pricing. At 20%+ you also eliminate mortgage insurance on conventional loans.
VA, FHA, Conventional, USDA, and DSCR all have different rate structures. VA loans consistently offer the lowest rates for eligible borrowers.
Conforming loans (under $806,500 in 2025) get the best pricing. Jumbo loans carry slightly higher rates due to different investor appetite.
Shorter lock periods offer better pricing. A 30-day lock is cheaper than a 60-day lock. We’ll match the lock to your realistic closing timeline.
This is where we add the most value. The same borrower can get meaningfully different pricing from different lenders. We evaluate options across 25+ lenders and match you to the one that fits your profile best.
Why an independent
broker beats a bank
A bank offers one set of rates from one set of products. We partner with 25+ of the nation’s premier lenders and evaluate pricing across all of them for every loan. That competition works in your favor every time.
We’re not just comparison-shopping rates. We’re leveraging established lender relationships — volume, trust, and history — to access pricing that retail borrowers simply can’t get on their own.
Bottom line: brokers beat banks.
Stop guessing.
