Different lender, different mortgage rate!
The mortgage rates you'll be offered will depend not only on the mortgage lender, but other factors too.
Your credit score, debt-to-income ratio and down payment or home equity will affect the mortgage interest rates that a lender can offer you.
If you have good credit, a lender may offer you more attractive rates or fees.
A lender may also offer you better rates and fees if you have adequate income to repay your debts and a down payment or some equity.
Mortgage rates and fees may be negotiable!
That's another reason why you should shop for a mortgage and compare mortgage products and rates.
Rates also differ depending on whether you pay points.
A point = 1% of the loan amount. For example, on a $100,000 mortgage loan one point would be $1,000, 1 &1/2 points would be $1,500, and so on.
Pay more points, and a lender probably will offer you lower rates.
Pay fewer or no points, and a lender likely will offer you higher rates.
