Why I Don't Post Rates Online

Here's the honest truth about mortgage rates

Most websites show you fake "teaser rates" that you'll never actually qualify for. They're designed to get your click, not give you real information.

I refuse to play that game. Your actual rate depends on dozens of factors:

  • Your credit score (every 20 points changes your rate)
  • Down payment amount (20% down gets the best rates)
  • Loan type (FHA, VA, Conventional, Jumbo all have different rates)
  • Property type (primary home, investment, condo, etc.)
  • Loan amount (conforming vs. jumbo)
  • Which lender (I shop 20+ lenders to find YOUR best rate)

Here's what I'll do instead:

Call me right now at (805) 393-6278. Give me 5 minutes. I'll pull today's actual rates from my lender network, tell you exactly what YOU qualify for, and give you a real payment estimate. No runaround. No bait-and-switch. Just the truth.

What Affects Your Rate?

Here's the truth about what actually determines your mortgage rate. No BS.

Credit Score

Higher scores = lower rates. Every 20 points matters.

Down Payment

20% down avoids PMI and gets you the best rates.

Loan Term

15-year loans have lower rates than 30-year.

Loan Type

VA and FHA often beat conventional rates.

Real Talk: How to Get the Best Rate

1

Shop Multiple Lenders

Rates vary by 0.5-1% between lenders. That's HUGE. I shop 20+ lenders for you automatically.

2

Fix Your Credit First

Every 20 points saves you $50-100/month. At 680? Let's get you to 720 before applying.

3

Put Down 20% If You Can

Avoid PMI ($200-300/month) and get a better rate. Can't do 20%? No problem—we'll make it work.

4

Lock Your Rate at the Right Time

Rates change daily. I watch the market and tell you when to lock. Timing matters.
