Commitment to Communicate Have you ever heard one of those horror stories about from a friend or family member who had a terrible experience trying to refinance their home? I’ll bet they were frustrated because their Loan Officer would not call them back, didn’t answer the phone, didn’t respond to e-mails and they really never knew what was going on with their loan.

Interest Rate Lock Information You are probably already aware that interest rates change every single day (sometimes several times per day). This is why I always recommend that you lock in your interest rate as soon as you select your home and we decide on the right mortgage for you. This way you aren’t subject to any of the changes in the market, which can be quite volatile these days. Please review the information below to see the Frequently Asked Questions about locking your interest rate. BE INFORMED—Before You Lock Your Interest Rate What does a rate lock mean? A Rate Lock is an agreement between you (the borrower) and us (the lender) that a specific interest rate will be provided to you for a specific period of time (the rate lock period). When is my rate locked? We will confirm and lock your interest rate with your written authorization when we sign your initial disclosures. What if rates go up before I close my loan? Once your rate is locked, we immediately purchase money from our investors (VA, FHA, FNMA) for you at that specific rate. So long as your loan application is approved and all other terms & conditions of the approval requirements are met, this money will be available to you at your loan closing regardless of market conditions after you have locked your rate. If interest rates have increased, you are protected and can be assured that your locked rate will be honored on your loan papers on the date of closing. We will NOT ask you to pay a higher interest rate simply because the market has worsened. What if rates go down before I close my loan? Because we have already purchased money to fund your loan at a specific interest rate, we have difficulty going back to our investors and asking to buy your mortgage at a lower rate. Think of it like buying a stock. If you purchased a stock at $45/share and the price goes to $43 the next day, you cannot call your broker and tell them you want the stock at the lower price. In essence, you “own” the rate lock you have agreed to. It is important to note, however, that in the event interest rates “drop” significantly during the processing of your loan (pre-closing), that we can and will restructure your loan again subject to this agreement. Showing our commitment to you, our client, we will facilitate the restructure if rates fall 0.75% or more during this period. This can only be done once during this rate lock period. If rates appear to be dropping, why shouldn’t I wait to lock a rate? An important question for you to ask is this: What would be more disappointing; Locking a rate and finding that you may have missed the lower rate or NOT locking your loan and rates go up? Be very careful here. It is our objective as advisors to assist you in determining an optimal time to lock an interest rate given our professional assessment of market conditions and your objectives. We may not be able to catch “the bottom” every time; however, trying to time the market is a risky game. Far too often the market can and does spike sharply higher leaving many clients wishing they would have locked in. Remember, if rates continue to fall, you can always refinance your loan again, subject to our Post-Closing Refinance Policy. How soon can I refinance my rate after closing? (Post-Closing Refinance Policy) As mortgage bankers, we receive our compensation through what is called “Service Release Premiums” which is a commission paid to us for “releasing” your loan to our investors to “service” (collecting payments, etc.). Our contractual agreement with our investors is to ensure that any loans we originate stay on their books for a minimum of 120 days from the date the investor purchases the loan. If the loan is paid off in any way, shape or form within 120 days we receive what is called a “charge-back” which basically means we pay back any Premiums received for our services on the initial loan. Although we surely cannot demand or require you to hold the loan for that period of time, as a valued client we can only in good faith ask you to consider doing so. The 120 day window does not prohibit us from locking an interest rate in during that time; It only says we cannot close the loan within that period. It is our practice to complete a Post-Closing Review approximately 60 days after closing so as to determine if rates have fallen further at which point we will contact you to discuss your individual situation and plan accordingly. We hope this helps your decision to lock in your rate. If you have further questions, you can call or email us anytime for market updates.

The Owners Guide To Shopping Around Shopping Around? Here’s the inside scoop on how to do it right! First: Make sure that you are working with an experienced, professional loan officer. The largest financial transaction of your life is far too important to place into the hands of someone who is not capable of advising you properly and troubleshooting any issues that may arise along the way. But, how can you tell? Here are FOUR SIMPLE QUESTIONS YOUR LENDER ABSOLUTELY MUST BE ABLE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS… RUN…DON’T WALK… RUN… TO A LENDER THAT DOES! 1. What Are Mortgage Interest Rates Based On? The only correct answer is Mortgage Backed Securities or Mortgage Bonds, NOT the 10-year Treasury Note. While the 10-year Treasury Note sometimes trends in the same direction as Mortgage Bonds, it is not unusual to see them move in completely opposite directions. DO NOT work with a lender that has their eyes on the wrong indicators. 2. What Is The Next Economic Report Or Event That Could Cause Interest Rate Movement? A professional lender will have this at their fingertips (or know off the top of their head). For an up-to- date calendar of weekly economic reports and events that may cause rates to fluctuate, you can visit http://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/calendar/ 3. When Ben Bernanke And The Fed “Change Rates”, What Does This Mean…And What Impact Does This Have On Mortgage Interest Rates? The answer may surprise you. When the Fed makes a move, they are changing a rate called the “Fed Funds Rate”. This is a very short-term rate that impacts credit cards, credit lines, auto loans, and the like. Mortgage rates most often will actually move in the opposite direction as the Fed changes, due to dynamics within financial markets. For more information and explanation, just give me a call. 4. What Is Happening In The Market Today, And What Do You See In The Near Future? If a lender cannot explain how Mortgage Bonds and interest rates are moving at the present time, as well as what is coming up in the near future, you are talking with someone who is still reading last week’s newspaper, and probably not a professional with whom to entrust your home mortgage financing. Be smart… Ask questions… Get answers! More than likely, this is one of the largest and most important financial transactions you will ever make. You might do this only 3-4 times you entire life… but we do this every single day. It’s your home and your future. It’s our profession and passion. We're ready to work for your best interest! - Joe Massey Office: 303-501-1413 jmassey@castlecooke.com Fax: 303-928-8359
The Owners Guide To Shopping Around (Part II) Shopping Around? Here’s the inside scoop on how to do it right! (Part II) Once you are satisfied that you are working with a top-quality professional mortgage advisor, here are the rules and secrets you must know to “shop” IF IT SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT PROBABLY IS. But you didn’t really need me to tell you that, did you? Mortgage money and interest rates ALL come from the same places, and if something sounds really unbelievable, better ask a few more questions and find the hook. Is there a prepayment penalty? If the rate seems incredible, are there extra fees? What is the length of the lock-in? If fees are discounted, is it built into a higher interest rate? YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you are looking for the cheapest deal out there, understand that you are placing a hugely important process into the hands of the lowest bidder, that in the end while saving you a couple of dollars, could cost you thousands! Best case, expect very little advice, experience, and professional service. Worst case, expect you may not close at all, and if you do, you may lose thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. All too often, you don’t know until it’s too late that cheapest isn’t BEST. But if you want the cheapest quote, head on out to the Internet, and we wish you good luck! Just remember, that if you’ve heard any horror stories from family members, friends, or co- workers about missed closing dates, or big surprise changes at the last minute on interest rate or costs…these are often due to working with discount or Internet lenders who may have a serious lack of experience and knowledge. MOST IMPORTANTLY, REMEMBER THAT THE CHEAPEST RATE ON THE WRONG STRATEGY CAN COST YOU THOUSANDS MORE IN THE LONG-RUN. This is the largest financial transaction that most people will make in their lifetime. That being said - we are not the cheapest. Of course our rates and costs are extremely competitive, but we have also invested in the systems and team we need to ensure the top quality experience that you deserve MAKE CORRECT COMPARISONS. When looking at estimates, don’t simply look at the bottom line. You absolutely must compare lender fees, as these are the only fees that a lender controls. And make sure that lender fees are not ―hidden‖ amongst the title or state fees. A lender is responsible for quoting other fees involved in a mortgage loan, but since they are third party fees - they are often under-quoted upfront by a lender to make their bottom line appear lower, since they know that many consumers are not educated to NOT simply look at the bottom line! APR??? Easily manipulated as well, as worthless as a tool of comparison. Office: 303-501-1413 jmassey@castlecooke.com Fax: 303-928-8359
The Owners Guide To Shopping Around (Part III) Shopping Around? Here’s the inside scoop on how to do it right! (Part III) UNDERSTAND THAT INTEREST RATES AND CLOSING COSTS GO HAND-IN-HAND. This means that you can have any interest rate that you want - but you may pay more in costs if the rate is lower than the norm. On the other hand, you can pay discounted fees, reduced fees, or even no fees at all - but understand that this comes at the expense of a higher interest rate. Either of these balances may be right for you, or somewhere in between. It all depends on what your financial goals are. A professional lender will be able to offer the best advice and options in terms of the balance between interest rate and closing costs that correctly fit your personal financial goals. UNDERSTAND THAT INTEREST RATES CAN CHANGE DAILY, EVEN HOURLY. This means that if you are comparing lender rates and fees - this is a moving target on an hourly basis. For example, if you have two lenders that you just can’t decide between and want a quote from each, you must get this quote at the EXACT same time, on the EXACT same day, with the EXACT same terms or it will not be an accurate comparison. You must also know the length of the lock you are looking for, since longer rate locks typically have slightly higher rates. Again, our advice to you is to be smart… Ask questions… Get answers! As you can imagine, we wouldn't be encouraging you to shop around if we weren’t pretty confident that we feel that we can give you a great value and serve you the very best. Thanks for taking your time to review this package. Please call me with any questions and I look forward to working with you!
