I didn't realize the offers were altogether at Lending Tree's website.
Very convenient! Thank you for letting me know about that feature.

Having seen them altogether now, it is very clear who has offered the
best deal so far. The origination fees that your firm is charging push
the closing costs quite high. It seems just another way of buying down
the interest rate.

I have another offer with no origination fee and no points on a 3 yr
ARM, 3.63% interest rate (3.75% APR). So far, that is the best offer
I've seen.

Unless you can beat that by waiving your fee, I won't be able to accept
your offer.

Best,
Bronwyn

That is a very good offer. I can not compete with that.

Thanks,

Eric

Har. I didn't think so, Eric!

The other offer, with the higher buy-down fees, I just left a phone message saying, "thank you for your time, but I have a much better offer. Have a great afternoon."

This Lending Tree stuff is pretty damn cool!

I am waiting for one more offer, but they have a tough offer to beat, I tell you what.

Heeh! King of the Hill...

By the way, I didn't understand any of that. I think you're far more adult than I am.

YESSSS!!! That was Hank Hill's voice in my head as I typed that "I tell you what"!

Hello, my name is Bronwyn Ramey, and I am a grown-up.

See? This is what I'm sayin'. People call me a lot of mean things, but they just don't get this one simple and wonderful fact.

Screw 'em, I say! :-*

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid....

Yes, well, I'm a grown up with a shelf full of crayons, coloring books, comic books legos, matchbox cars and stuffed toys :-)

And there is the small matter of a couple of blankets.

*ahem*

Woohoo!

Did any of them make you breakfast in bed like on the commercials?

Thank goodness, no.
