GETTING A MORTGAGE IS MUCH MORE THAN ABOUT THE RATE

General

Posted by: Tracy Luciani Price

Although even 1/4, 1/2 to 3/4 % can mean tens of thousands of dollars more interest. When you renew or refinance with the same lender(on your own, without a broker), you are likely not getting the best rate.
