Is a FREE Appraisal Really FREE?
I had a past client call me to let me know that he was in the middle of a refinance with another lender but he was uncomfortable.
While I never like to hear that one of my clients went elsewhere, I am always grateful when they need the right advice and return to me! He asked that I review the loan estimate the lender had provided and let me know that they told him they would give him a free appraisal. I told him that I would be happy to let him know if it was a good loan for him or not.
After reviewing the loan estimate, I found that not only was I able to provide an interest rate that was almost 1/2% lower (saving more than $60/mo on the monthly payment they quoted), I was able to do the loan for more than $6000 less in fees.
$SIX THOUSAND LESS!
When I let him know, he asked what I needed from him to move forward.
In this case, that FREE Appraisal certainly was not FREE! I am so glad that this client paid attention to his gut feeling and reached out. My guess is that he won't look elsewhere again!
