Very easy to work with and they know the market well, unlike may other banks and CUs.
Just did a mortgage two weeks ago - 3.1%, nice to work with.

Most conforming mortgage loan rates are like fingerprints - no two EXACTLY the same. This is due to loan amount, equity, credit score, fees, points, term, on and on. When someone says they got a quote of say, 3.25%, you don't know if they have an 840 score or a 660 score, 80% loan-to-value or 40%, points paid up front or none at all, etc.

Don't get sucked in on a rate quote - get the APR for a fair comparison.

A couple of months ago dropped in to see what rates would be for savings and money market account and was shocked how uncompetitive they were compared to other banks

That has been my experience as well.

Default Thanks for all the great responses

We originally planned To finance through our credit union back home who is usually very competitive but we’re concerned about closing date deadline. Based on the great input we decided to visit citizens mortgage folks. Happy to say they beat our credit union easily. With opening a “Heroes” account for veterans and first responders And auto pay they knocked 1/4 percent off. Ended up with a rate under 3% I think 2.95 or something. Thanks TOTV friends
