For those of you who are wondering what rates are doing each and everyday, we’ve added a Mortgage Rate Update text message alert company on our website.  I think this is a great tool for anyone who is in the Real Estate world because it updates you with the U.S. Average Rates each and everyday and will also update you with rate changes that take place during the day.  If you’re out on the golf course with clients and didn’t go into the office to check on rates, you will already have them texted to you each and every morning.  It’s a great way to stay on top of the market and be able to quote a rate when you need one.

 People who can benefit from this text message alert are:

 Consumers: If you’re in the market to purchase a home or refinance your home this text alert is for you.  If you’re looking to refinance your home and are waiting for that rate to drop below 5.5% this alert will be perfect for you.  When you wake up in the morning and want to know if today is the day to refinance, all you have to do is wait for the text message.  Or if you are purchasing a home and your not exactly sure on when to Lock in your Rate with your Mortgage consultant, all you have to do is wait for the text.  It is the perfect tool!

 Real Estate Professionals:  If you’re in the real estate world and work with clients on a daily basis,  it’s always good to have an understanding of what the market is doing.  Rates change daily, and you want to have an edge on your competitors by being a wealth of knowledge.  If a client asks you “What are today’s rates on a 30 year fixed?”  All you have to do is look down at your cell phone and quote the rate that was texted to you that morning.  It’s a great way to stay on top of today’s market and inform your clients about what’s going on.

 Mortgage Loan Officers:  Obviously your business is based around Mortgage Rates and getting clients approved and locked in.  This tool is extremely helpful for your business especially if you’re put on the spot and not exactly sure if rates went up or down.  The best feature about this text message blast is that it sends you an immediate text if there has been a price change during the day on mortgage rates.

 Overall, I recommend subscribing to the Mortgage Rate text message.  If you work in the real estate world or just curious about what today’s rates are, then I would reccomend you subscribe today.  It’s just an overall great way to stay on top of the market and be in the know.  Type in your number below to sign up for your Mortgage Rate Subscription or text ”MortgageRate” to 41411.
