Kate's Mortgage Rate Lock Guarantee

My mortgage rate lock guarantee is an insider's view on locking mortgage rates. Are you unsure about when to lock? You are not alone.


Interest rates are not predictable and I should know!

Hi, my name is Kate and I am a retired mortgage broker. For over 20 years, I personally helped thousands of people obtain mortgage financing. My favorite saying used to be, "When in doubt, lock!"

Lowest Current Mortgage Interest Rates

Check here for current mortgage rates No need to hunt through confusing websites.

Clients often asked me...will mortgage interest rates go up or down tomorrow...when is the best time for a mortgage rate lock...how do I get the lowest current mortgage interest rates?

For over 20 years, I had one answer to these questions. I called it Kate's Mortgage Rate Lock Guarantee. Today, I continue the same advice.

Kate's Interest Rate Lock Guarantee

Mortgage interest rates are guaranteed to...

  • Go up
  • Go down, or
  • Stay the same

It's my opinion that it is better to lock sooner rather than later. I saw more borrowers lose than win holding out for what they thought would be lowest current mortgage interest rates. Statistics bare out the truth that gamblers lose far more than they win.

So my advice is don't be a gambler.

This common sense approach can be summed up in the old saying,

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

In other words an interest rate that you know is most likely better than the interest rate you are holding out for.

Locking in your rate is the key to low mortgage payments. Make sure you get answers to these important questions about your mortgage rate lock.

After all, it's your home and your mortgage. You deserve the best!
