We are concerned about going with another bank as we have heard they don't always close on time .... any thoughts? Thanks
We closed on the 2nd, at 3.5%, they tried to bump us up to 3.62, I said I'll go to BB&T, they (Citizens) backed off.

Understand that every 1/8th of a point is only about $10 a month???????

As far as using any other bank, I believe it is unfounded that they may be late, but BB&T will be a bit lower than Citizen by an 1/8th or so.

Just lock in.....

BB&T contact is Juston on rt 466, nice guy.

But I must say Citizens closing other than an issue that was not in their control was very easy, 20 minutes, if you have $$ in their bank already U don't even need a check
