Lock Now. Shop Later.

Read Time: 1min

If you’re looking for a new home, you know it can feel like a race against the rates, trying to find your ideal place before the market moves. Again.

Not anymore.

At Wyndham Capital Mortgage, you can lock in your rate – then look for your home. A home is a big decision. You want to get the right home for you, not the best home you can find in a race against the rates. (You will be living there, after all!)

The details

A mortgage rate lock means your home loan has a set interest rate that won’t fluctuate within a pre-determined period of time. Locking in your rate lets you shop thoughtfully, not impulsively.

Here’s how our Lock and Shop program works: .

  • You secure your rate with Wyndham before you’ve made an offer or even started looking
  • WCM’s rate lock holds for 91 days – longer than the average lender
  • A purchase purchase contract is required on or before day 71
  • Rate lock fee is refundable when loan funds

Perks of locking early

Why lock and shop? Here are some of the top reasons homebuyers choose this program:

  • No-cost way to buy time. Once you secure your loan with WCM, the fee is refunded.
  • Gives you time to negotiate. If you know your rate is secure, you have time for some back-and-forth with the seller.
  • Look leisurely. If you know your rate is secure, you can extend your looking-around time.

Other perks

Our Lock and Shop program isn’t the only perk we offer. When you secure your mortgage with Wyndham, you also get:

  • $5K on-time closing guarantee
  • A one to two week faster closing time than average
  • Zero junk lender fees
