what do you guys think about rocket mortgage by quickenloans? Anybody used them to obtain a mortgage loan as a first time home buyer? Do they have good rates compared to other mortgage companies or banks?

Not sure if you are still shopping for loans, Benjamin. We recently refinanced our primary mortgage and chose Quicken Loans. I love their online capabilities. I set up the automatic biweekly payment in time for the first payment withdrawal. That’s how efficient it was. 

In terms of rates, I went for big names such as Wells Fargo, who had my original plan. WF was able to bit the rate but their fee was a bit higher. I ended up going with Quiken Loans through a broker who cut the fees almost in half. He also had a better rate from a different lender but based on what I found online I passed on it.

Depending on your loan origination state, he might be able to help you. PM me if you are interested. I loved working with him. Everything was online, with a mobile notary to boot on closing day.
