A lender who already knows your industry asks better questions and closes faster. One who doesn't will treat your file as an education.

Not enough seasoned history to judge

Too few of this lender's loans are old enough to say anything useful.

What rate people got

average markup over prime

Borrowers here averaged prime + 2.62%. Compare that against what you have been quoted — the markup is the negotiable part, and most borrowers never try.

Each row is one year's lending. Read down a column to compare years at the same age — that is the only fair comparison, because losses take three to five years to appear and a fast-growing lender always looks clean on a raw average.

What this page cannot tell you

Federal records show what was approved, not how long it took, how the bank communicated, or whether your loan officer returned calls. Ask any lender directly: are you a preferred lender, how many deals like mine did you close last year, and who underwrites it.
