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. |
