Are there any fees for a Lock?
zionmortgages.com does not charge a fee for the initial rate lock. The rates posted reflect 30 day pricing and there is
no fee to lock in the posted pricing. If you choose to lock an ARM with an extended lock 90-360 days, your lock will
carry a Non Delivery Fee. If your loan does not close for any reason, you will be charged the Non Delivery Fee, which is
based upon your chosen lock-in period and loan amount.
Is a Fixed Rate mortgage better than an Adjustable Rate mortgage?
The answer to this question depends on your situation. Many people prefer fixed rate mortgages with the low rates
available today. If you are going to stay in your home for a short time, an adjustable rate may make more sense.
Very popular options offered exclusively through zionmortgages.com are ARMs. These loans provide the security of
a fixed rate loan and the lower rate benefits of an ARM. When you select your loan preferences, we will recommend
the loan best suited for your needs.
