I can think of Wells and TBW, but I could be off the mark
as I have not really scrutinized their total garbage add-ons
or other lender fees.

All pass-thru mortgage bankers, correspondents, and
wholesalers, tend to have higher fees and hidden add-ons than
the big lenders, is this a correct conclusion?

In today's market when escrow, title, and notary fees are
being brought down realistically with the market, I wonder
why lenders are still maintaining their high fees and
unnecessary add-ons to make them uncompetitive?

The $1,500 was a total ripoff! I recall Wamu Wholesale
was some $200 higher than Wells. Normally, the average
totak lender fees should not be more than $850, but they
could hit you with garbage add-ons, like escrow waiver,
credit score range add-on, LTV ranges add-on, ad infinitum.

lenders' ripoffs have not been much discussed and all the
blames are always put on the broker. It is time to reform
and standardize lender's fee to be within a range of
reasonnableness to consumers as this is a consumer issue
because the borrower is paying for them.

Then are we ready to standardize our broker fees as well? ie, commission, processing, commitment fee etc.

It's a free market so we go where they have less fees.

I think it depends on the situation more than the lender.
That is they way I see it anyway.
