Q. |
What is a rate
lock? |
|
A. |
A rate lock is a
lender's guarantee of an interest rate for a set period of
time, usually between loan application and loan closing. The
lock period can range anywhere between 15 days to 90 days
during which time the borrower is protected against rate
fluctuations. Generally speaking, the longer the lock-in
period, the higher the cost to the borrower, in interest
rate or points, or a combination of both. Rate lock

Q. |
How long does
the loan process take? |
|
A. |
That depends on a
number of things. For example, the closing date on a
purchase loan is determined by the escrow closing date that
is agreed upon between the buyer and the seller or builder.
Usually, purchase escrow periods range between 30 to 90
days. On refinance transactions, the process can vary
between 5 to 30 days depending on whether there are any
special circumstances surrounding the transaction. In most
cases, Great Oak Lending closes refinance transactions in
less than 21 days. |
