Your Lender Made How Much on Your Last Loan?
Most lenders charge 2.75% of your loan amount, hidden in your interest rate — even on "no-cost" loans. We connect you with vetted loan officers in our network who have agreed to cap their total compensation at a flat $5,000 — fully disclosed on your Loan Estimate, regardless of loan size.
Would You Tip Your Loan Officer This?
Most borrowers have no idea their lender is taking a percentage of their loan as compensation. It's legal, it's common, and it's rarely disclosed clearly. We're changing that.
The examples below show what you likely paid your last lender — expressed as the real-world items that money could have bought instead.
