I put in a false scenario to Zillow's mortgage quotes section, this is how they describe it; I will post all of the quotes and what LO's say/promise..should be interesting!
I asked for this loan:
Type of loan you need: Purchase Loan program(s) of interest: 30 year fixed, 5/1 ARM, Interest Only Estimated purchase price: $500,000 Estimated down payment: $100,000 Your loan amount: Purchase price minus down payment $400,000 First-time home buyer: no Accept a pre-payment penalty: no When loan is needed: Within 30 days
Property
Property location: Scottsdale AZ 85255 Property type: Single family home Property usage: Primary residence Plans to live in the home: Less than 5 years
Borrower
Credit history: Fair (640 to 679) Credit score: none given Bankruptcy in last 7 years: no Foreclosure in last 7 years: no Self-employed: no Income can be documented: yes Income: $125,000 Annual
Monthly Assets and Debts
View debt details Debts: $350 Minimum monthly credit card payment: $100 Car payment: $250 View asset details Available assets: $175,000
With Zillow® Mortgage Marketplace, you're in control: You remain anonymous to mortgage lenders throughout the loan request and quote process — no one will call you or e-mail you -- until you want to make contact.
How it works:
1. Create a Mortgage Request You create an anonymous mortgage request to purchase a home, refinance, or take out a home equity loan. Your name, address, phone number or Social Security number is not required. However, you need to be accurate in providing other background information — such as the type of mortgage loan you want, your income level and an assessment of your credit rating — through Zillow's secure system. Being truthful and accurate is important and required under our Code of Conduct. Lenders see your anonymous request and begin submitting real mortgage loan quotes to your private account on Zillow. Borrowers fill out a mortgage request, which is anonymous to lenders, as accurately as possible and include information about the property, credit history, income, assets, and debts and then submit it into an open marketplace of mortgage lenders that compete for your business by providing competitive rates and good customer service. To protect your anonymous information, Zillow Mortgage Marketplace uses a Secure Socket Layer system (SSL) to encrypt your entire session. SSL is an industry standard for keeping data and information secure and is used by lending companies, banks, and credit agencies. Lenders review mortgage requests from borrowers and submit mortgage quotes for those requests. A mortgage loan quote consists of an interest rate with specific lender fees, easily broken down into average monthly payments that meets the requirements of a particular loan product (e.g., 30-year fixed rate). While we expect a lender's mortgage quote to be as accurate as possible based on the information provided by the borrower, the lender has not yet had an opportunity to verify the borrower's credit rating and other information in order to provide a Good Faith Estimate. 2. Choose the Best Quote Based on the information you provide, customized mortgage quotes — from an unlimited number of confirmed mortgage lenders — will be sent to your private Mortgage Quotes section on Zillow. You will not receive "insta-quotes" done by a computer; these are hand-written mortgage quotes personalized to fit your loan request by confirmed mortgage lenders. Each lender that participates in the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace is required to divulge all quotes, rates, and fees in the mortgage quote that is returned to you. You compare the information provided — including rates, and lender ratings — and then you choose the mortgage lenders to contact. A confirmed mortgage lender is a mortgage professional on Zillow whose professional status has been confirmed either by a leading independent third party hired by Zillow or by their mortgage institution. The review may include identity authentication, employment verification, broker license confirmation, and checking standard sources for complaints. 3. Contact the Mortgage Lender Contact the mortgage lender you like — either by e-mail or phone — and ask more questions about the loan quote or begin closing your loan. Please remember that once you contact the lender through our site, your e-mail (identity) will no longer be anonymous to that lender. Later, you can rate the lender based on quality of information and service provided so other borrowers can learn about your experience with the lender. |

I hear you are giving away free leads. Can I have some? It's ok if you give me ones that other brokers have paid for, that way you don't really loose money. |

Type: 30 year Fixed (Interest-Only) $2,506 Monthly Payment Interest rate: 6.75 % (6.8 % APR) Lender fees: $1,930 Mortgage Broker fee $1500
Note From Lender
Unless otherwise indicated, rate and fees quoted are based on the information provided. In this quote, I offered you a particular interest rate and settlement charges. You can choose another loan to get either lower settlement charges or a lower interest rate. Call for details!
Lowest Rate and Fee Guarantee: We GUARANTEE that the combination of the interest rate + the total closing cost will provide you with the lowest cost mortgage possible. If not, we’ll pay you $500! Call for details!
Guaranteed Closing Costs: Many homeowners have had bad experiences with lenders who did not guarantee their closing costs. The problem occurs when unethical lenders increase their fees shortly before closing, leaving the buyer or homeowner with no time to make other financing arrangements. We GUARANTEE your closing costs UPFRONT so that you can go to closing with confidence. Once you lock in your rate and fees, we GUARANTEE that those costs won't change throughout the loan process. That’s why we’re certified as 1 of only 5 Upfront Mortgage Lenders in the country!
Good Faith Estimate: A full Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is available by email upon request. Please email me or call me at TODAY to answer any questions you may have, to go over loan programs and options, or if you’re ready to move forward with your mortgage application.

the problem with the "pitch" is that it is all interpretation.
First of all, the "client" is looking at numbers, then they try to identify with something that is "said" to make them call that broker.
I've done the automated response in the past and changed it up many times..never sounded perfect to me either.
Nice work Kyle...now get back to work ; ) |

This is not true. The proper TIL disclosure for ARM assumes the current indexed rate (at the time of origination) remains constant during the life of the loan. Randomly checking a CITI rate sheet from today, we see the current index is 3.54 with margin of 2.25 giving us a fully indexed rate of 5.79% so if the initial fixed rate on the ARM is higher than 5.79% then the correct APR will be less than the initial fixed rate.
Personally I think this idiotic rule for TIL disclosure of ARM is a significant reason why so many people are having financial problems now, since they have a legitimate case for saying they did not realize the mortgage payments could increase after the fixed period ends, since the TIL shows the payment decreasing (based on the assumption that the fully indexed rate at the time of origination would remain constant).
While the note specifies that the rate can increase according to the normal ARM caps, most borrowers (especially those who do not spend all day reading reams of paper) seem to focus mostly on the TIL and settlement statement when closing a loan, so its easy to see how they may not understand what may happen if they choose the ARM and the index increases between origination and the end of the fixed period...
It would make much more sense if the TIL showed the highest possible adjustments (according to the ARM caps) but this would make the APR on all ARM very scary, so nobody would ever be able to sell them (thus it will probably never happen). |

I agree. Maybe these brokers are using the old trick of leaving out fees that "are not exactly known yet" to bait and switch the borrower by saying they will provide a more accurate GFE and TIL later "when we know the exact amount of fees" ... |

Hey Kyle, I am a part of the zillow quoting group and I think you may be a little jealous that people are actually making some real business there. Yea, I see a lot of quotes that are so funny, but what is wrong with these quotes you have listed here? If a broker wants to do these loans at Par and just charge processing and maybe 1/2 to 1 point, then why shouldn't they do that? This is a bidding war on Zillow, thats the beauty of it..This allows the borrower to get the lowest quote possible. Go back and look at the responses left from borrowers on some of these brokers....Alot of them are good and the broker did what they promissed. I quote my rates at par or maybe a little more and basically only make about $1000.00 per loan from there. If you are a one man show, then 10 loans a month at $1000.00 or more is pretty good in these times. Why don't you stop making false requests on Zillow as it makes me wonder how much of your other business is crooked....quote: Originally posted by KHufford
I put in a false scenario to Zillow's mortgage quotes section, this is how they describe it; I will post all of the quotes and what LO's say/promise..should be interesting!
I asked for this loan:
Type of loan you need: Purchase Loan program(s) of interest: 30 year fixed, 5/1 ARM, Interest Only Estimated purchase price: $500,000 Estimated down payment: $100,000 Your loan amount: Purchase price minus down payment $400,000 First-time home buyer: no Accept a pre-payment penalty: no When loan is needed: Within 30 days
Property

Borrower
Credit history: Fair (640 to 679) Credit score: none given Bankruptcy in last 7 years: no Foreclosure in last 7 years: no Self-employed: no Income can be documented: yes Income: $125,000 Annual
Monthly Assets and Debts
View debt details Debts: $350 Minimum monthly credit card payment: $100 Car payment: $250 View asset details Available assets: $175,000
With Zillow® Mortgage Marketplace, you're in control: You remain anonymous to mortgage lenders throughout the loan request and quote process — no one will call you or e-mail you -- until you want to make contact.
How it works:
1. Create a Mortgage Request You create an anonymous mortgage request to purchase a home, refinance, or take out a home equity loan. Your name, address, phone number or Social Security number is not required. However, you need to be accurate in providing other background information — such as the type of mortgage loan you want, your income level and an assessment of your credit rating — through Zillow's secure system. Being truthful and accurate is important and required under our Code of Conduct. Lenders see your anonymous request and begin submitting real mortgage loan quotes to your private account on Zillow. Borrowers fill out a mortgage request, which is anonymous to lenders, as accurately as possible and include information about the property, credit history, income, assets, and debts and then submit it into an open marketplace of mortgage lenders that compete for your business by providing competitive rates and good customer service. To protect your anonymous information, Zillow Mortgage Marketplace uses a Secure Socket Layer system (SSL) to encrypt your entire session. SSL is an industry standard for keeping data and information secure and is used by lending companies, banks, and credit agencies. Lenders review mortgage requests from borrowers and submit mortgage quotes for those requests. A mortgage loan quote consists of an interest rate with specific lender fees, easily broken down into average monthly payments that meets the requirements of a particular loan product (e.g., 30-year fixed rate). While we expect a lender's mortgage quote to be as accurate as possible based on the information provided by the borrower, the lender has not yet had an opportunity to verify the borrower's credit rating and other information in order to provide a Good Faith Estimate. 2. Choose the Best Quote Based on the information you provide, customized mortgage quotes — from an unlimited number of confirmed mortgage lenders — will be sent to your private Mortgage Quotes section on Zillow. You will not receive "insta-quotes" done by a computer; these are hand-written mortgage quotes personalized to fit your loan request by confirmed mortgage lenders. Each lender that participates in the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace is required to divulge all quotes, rates, and fees in the mortgage quote that is returned to you. You compare the information provided — including rates, and lender ratings — and then you choose the mortgage lenders to contact. A confirmed mortgage lender is a mortgage professional on Zillow whose professional status has been confirmed either by a leading independent third party hired by Zillow or by their mortgage institution. The review may include identity authentication, employment verification, broker license confirmation, and checking standard sources for complaints. 3. Contact the Mortgage Lender Contact the mortgage lender you like — either by e-mail or phone — and ask more questions about the loan quote or begin closing your loan. Please remember that once you contact the lender through our site, your e-mail (identity) will no longer be anonymous to that lender. Later, you can rate the lender based on quality of information and service provided so other borrowers can learn about your experience with the lender.

There are only seven upfront mortgage Lenders in the country.
http://www.mtgprofessor.com/A%20-%20UMLs/list_of_upfront_mortgage_lenders.htm
Amerisave
E-LOAN
National Mortgage Alliance
betterchoiceloans
Aimloan.com
Integrity First
Century Point Mortgage
Go to this list link to review how to get certified:
http://www.mtgprofessor.com/A%20-%20UMLs/What%20Is%20a%20UML.htm
The Upfront Mortgage Lender Cert. (UML) is not to be confused with the Upfront Mortgage Broker Designation. (UMB) which claims at the customer's request, UMBs disclose the wholesale prices (rates and points) they receive from lenders.
Regardless, the bottom line is what is the cost at this very minute to the borrower; are the costs fully disclosed and are they guaranteed through closing. You can search rates on my site www.callmortgagemike.com and get guaranteed results in less than 30 seconds. All costs are transparent and completely guaranteed (An attribute of a certified UML).

Hey Kyle, I am a part of the zillow quoting group and I think you may be a little jealous that people are actually making some real business there. Yea, I see a lot of quotes that are so funny, but what is wrong with these quotes you have listed here? If a broker wants to do these loans at Par and just charge processing and maybe 1/2 to 1 point, then why shouldn't they do that? This is a bidding war on Zillow, thats the beauty of it..This allows the borrower to get the lowest quote possible. Go back and look at the responses left from borrowers on some of these brokers....Alot of them are good and the broker did what they promissed. I quote my rates at par or maybe a little more and basically only make about $1000.00 per loan from there. If you are a one man show, then 10 loans a month at $1000.00 or more is pretty good in these times. Why don't you stop making false requests on Zillow as it makes me wonder how much of your other business is crooked....
Huh? jealous? Crooked? You are an idiot pal.
I was doing a case study to see responses and techniques and to share it with others, I never ripped anyone really or said I was pissed about anything. I just posted the responses. I did say some were weak, but thats all I said.
Chill out bro. real brokers earn their money and dont need to go Walmart style like you claim, in order to get biz.

Technology, clearly is the drive behind the UML certification. Even as a UML I was confused with the broker designation since it appears to be based on the "honor system" that a broker will, at the customer's request,disclose the wholesale prices (rates and points) they receive from lenders. I can't remember ever being asked for wholesale pricing from a customer, as a broker. So, I am not sure of the real benefit of being a UMB.

Not really agitated; unless you count dealing with pests on BO?, just raking in the cash from a productive week.... |

In my opinion sites like this and lendingtree.com, “where banks compete and you win” with their commercials of loan officers “lining up” to give you a rate quote have KILLED this business.
WHAT other profession does business like us? Car sales. Yes, and we all know the repetition they have. What if a doctor, lawyer, CPA, Financial Advisor, ect, started advertising “When doctors compete you win” and you go to a web site and have doctors “bidding” against each other for business. What if CPA’s started “dialing for dollars”
This USE to be a profession, now it’s filled with people who are no more then telemarketers. Rant over……
