For more than 80 years, Third Federal has been a leading mortgage lender. Our mortgage rates are among the lowest. And now with our Lowest Rate Guarantee program, if you find a lower purchase mortgage rate, we’ll beat it or pay you $1,000.

Here’s how it works:

Easier:

• Find a lower rate than ours? We’ll beat it or pay you $1,000.
• Simply provide us with the other lender’s advertisement, webpage, email, rate sheet, or other documentation of mortgage rates.
• In most cases, you’ll have a rate decision the same day.
• And if rates go down further, you can lock again!

Earlier:

• We can lock your rate at preapproval or before preapproval.
• We can even lock your rate without an application.
• We can usually beat and even lock a competitor’s mortgage rate before they can.

Longer:

• We can lock your rate prior to preapproval, all the way through loan approval. You can lock your rate for as long as 120 days on our standard rate lock or 300 days on our extended rate lock.

You shouldn’t feel rushed to the find perfect home. That’s why we lock down your rate at preapproval, before you sign a purchase contract or even find a new home! No other lender can offer a rate lock so early in the home buying process, protecting you from rising rates.

Imagine if you could get a mortgage at today’s low rates and not worry about closing costs. With our new Low Cost Mortgages, you can, because you only pay $295 in closing costs.

So go buy that new couch that’ll look perfect in your new family room!

• No PMI with 85% loan to value
• Jumbo loans at discounted rates
• Available on 10, 15 and 30-year fixed rate and Smart Rate for purchases

Most lenders charge higher rates for "jumbo loans" between $484,300 and $1 million. At Third Federal, we offer discounts on jumbo loans. Because we believe big borrowing deserves more bang for their buck, not less.

This lock goes into effect when you apply, because at Third Federal, we believe you shouldn’t have to pay extra just to get enough time to close your loan. Most lenders only offer a 30-day rate lock. If you close after that time period, your rates could go up. 

You’ll get a 60-day rate lock at preapproval. When you convert to a full application, we offer an additional 60-day standard or 240-day extended rate lock. That’s a rate locked for up to 300 days!

Many lenders will transfer your loan to another mortgage company, who may transfer it to another and so on, and so on. That can lead to problems. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about that with Third Federal. We service your loan for the life of your loan. And once it's paid off, we make sure it's cleared off your record, too.

Unlike some lenders, our associates work on a non-commission basis.  So their primary concern is finding the product that’s best for you, our customer, not what benefits them.
