HOW IT
WORKS

Locking your rate is a straightforward process that gives you control and protection during your home buying journey.

1. Get Pre-Approved

Complete your mortgage pre-approval with your loan officer. This determines your loan amount and rate eligibility.

2. Choose Your Lock Period

Select a lock period that matches your timeline: 30, 45, 60, or 90 days. Longer periods may have slightly higher rates.

3. Lock Your Rate

Your loan officer locks in your rate and provides written confirmation. This protects you from rate increases.

4. Shop with Confidence

Find your perfect home knowing your rate is secured. Your locked rate remains valid throughout your lock period.

5. Close on Time

Complete your closing within the lock period. If needed, extensions are available at your loan officer's discretion.

WHO SHOULD
LOCK THEIR RATE?

Rising Rate Markets

When rates are trending upward, locking protects you from further increases during your home search.

New Construction Buyers

Lock in your rate early and extend as needed while your home is being built over several months.

Budget-Conscious Buyers

Need payment certainty to shop within your budget? A rate lock eliminates the unknown variable.

Longer Timelines

Extended home search, complex transactions, or delayed closings all benefit from rate lock protection.
