Sorry you had to go through the hassle when you went through the process. The rates that you see on the site are 100% real, and we do our best to quote the most precise fees – however, fees do vary from area to area. We also don't charge a percentage of the loan amount, since it doesn't make much sense to charge more for a $300,000 loan than for a $100,000 loan. Also, as a result of our technology and automation, we're able to pass the savings on to customers.

Okay, I was curious enough I got out my paperwork. Looks like my origination fee was a lot higher. But my closing costs also included lots of escrow for property taxes and homeowners insurance, and I guess it makes sense to leave that out. So I don't feel too bad. :-) Congrats on a great tool!
Ok yeah that makes sense. Thanks again for the comment. Let us know when you're looking to refi :)
