Which lender/broker?


Better.com. They initially gave me a higher rate but I got a quote from Loan Depot and they matched it. Better also offering a $2000 credit on an Amex card.

I am looking for tips on lowering title insurance and title fees though.


Try Radian. I used them for my Better refinance this summer and their quote was 75% cheaper than Better's title insurance.

This Bogleheads mega-thread has lots of different options for title insurance: https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=289559&sid=688ca7761f1cbdeb4e13bfe86b62e0fd&start=12300


Radian won’t give you a direct quote anymore they make the lender request it. Look up local title companies and get some quotes. You can send those to better to either see if they will match or if they won’t just tell them to use that title company.

We are in the process of looking into a refi now. House worth about 2MM mortgage of 1.3. Anyone doing a refinance like this recently and care to share rates?
