âNot shopping aroundâ can cost you more than you think.
Most people just go to their bank, sign the papers, and move on.
But hereâs what they donât realize:
Another lender could be just 0.5% lower.
On a $1,000,000 mortgage, that difference is:
â ~$500/month
â ~$6,000/year
â $30,000+ over a 5-year term
Same house. Same income. Same credit.
The only difference?
You didnât compare options.
You count on one thing:
Convenience.
But the easier it is for youâŚ
the more profitable it is for them.
If you didnât shop at least 3â5 lenders,
you didnât get the best dealâyou got the fastest one.
And âfastâ can cost you $30K+.
