Welcome to the real estate definition series!
Banks like Chase, Wells Fargo and Citi all reward their clients with discounts on mortgage loans when a client has multiple accounts with the bank, and those accounts don’t have to be long-standing accounts. For example, you can apply for a regular mortgage and get a 6.5% rate, but if you move money into a checking account or open a new savings account and make a deposit, that rate may be “discounted” .25 or .5. If you set up auto pay out of that account, you might get an additional reduction.
In the days of better rates, I used to only recommend brokers, but now that rate seems to be the determining factor for most buyers, I recommend that buyers reach out to institutional lenders such as Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citi, in addition to mortgage brokers.
You only need one prequal letter to write an offer, but if you know your credit score, it’s a good idea to start making some calls. Let me know if you’d like some recommendations and I will send!
