I eventually got a good deal at my old employer credit union.

I am using them now for a home equity line of credit. Could have locked in a 3.99% but needed larger loan-to-value, so I took 5.25%. A little less than Wells Fargo.
I disagree with Buzzy. We refinanced on a previous home before moving to TV. Used Quicken Loans- excellent rate, no closing costs and good service for the 6 years we had that mortgage before selling house to move here.
