Customer Testimonials

"Thanks so much for taking the time to review my information. It has been  extremely helpful. While I know it's just business on the part of the lenders, it really hurts that some of them do not hesitate to prey on folks like me who simply don't understand this type of thing. But your insight and expertise has been more than eyeopening. I will certainly recommend you guys  to my friends and family."

K. Northington, MA

 

"Everyone should deal with a RMA.  My first broker was making 4.5 points on my loans - 3 of which came from putting me into a higher rate without my knowledge or consent.  Thanks MortgageTrap!"

Michelle Martinez, IL

GFE / Settlement Statement Review Order Form

A review is essential in getting a good deal.  Have an objective 3rd party analyze your fees to check for overcharges or even undercharges (which can give way to a big unpleasant surprise at the closing table).

We review each Good Faith Estimate or  Settlement Statement relative to your specific home loan for one price (sorry, we're no longer able to offer free reviews).  You will be provided with information on how to submit subsequent GFEs or HUDs for review when we respond to your initial request.

Recent studies show over 70% of borrowers get overcharged on their home loans due to excessive fees or junk fees.  Be one of the 30% that gets a good deal! 

Remember! We're an objective 3rd party and have NO financial interest in your loan.  We never ask for personal info, just your contact info and the fees shown on your GFE or HUD1 - and no RMA™ Member Lender or Realtor is provided with your analysis or participates in the review in any way!

$14.95 could save you thousands on excessive or junk fees! 

Look how much we've found so far!

  I agree to an analysis by MortgageTrap.org of my fee structure as present to me by my lender.*

*Overcharged or excessive fees are calculated by using the industry accepted norms and standards for each fee type and are only our opinion based upon our experience and knowledge. Each GFE/HUD was reviewed and analyzed while considering their FICO score as reported by them, their loan amount, interest rate, LTV, DTI and product type. Our reviews are meant as a guide and tool, not as a guarantee or certainty of what fees you will be (or should be) charged or the amount.  If you agree with our opinion, you have the right to negotiate with your lender or look for a home loan from another source. No member lender participates in the review or analysis.
