A mortgage rate isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In the latest episode of The Smart Start Podcast, Senior Loan Officers Cara Reese and Gary Rieboldt explain what can influence your rate—from credit score and loan term to down payment and closing timeline.

They also share why the lowest advertised rate may not always be the best overall option.

Marcus Auerbach of OnPoint Realty Group explains why that’s contributing to homeowners staying put and tight housing inventory.
