My husband and I were extremely happy working with Patrick Martin and thanks to Lending Tree we were connected to Patrick. He made everything easy. He's highly knowledgeable and obviously cares about his customers. We highly recommend Lending Tree and Lower.com Because of them we are finally debt free!!

We worked with Ben Rosenthal to complete our mortgage contract quickly and with great satisfaction. We were most concerned about getting the best interest rate possible and with Lower.com we did, choosing them out of about five lenders we shopped. Ben also worked to direct us towards other ways to save money on closing. We appreciate needing less burdensome documentation and being able to upload all that electronically at our convenience. Ultimately the process was streamlined and simple.

I recently completed a refinance with lower LLC. I had the pleasure of working with Morgan Marvar. He was professional and always responded to my questions and concerns in a prompt manner. He made sure to let me know where we were in the refinance process, and what was going to happen next. I will most certainly be working with Lower and Morgan again.

I initially was only searching for a price range my fiancé and I could afford. Then immediately after filling out the information Emily from Lower contacted me and from the start she was so amazing and professional! Answered all my questions even if I repeated some! Definitely took care of everything we needed. And worked around my work schedule to contact us and let us know new details about things. Very considerate about timing and very helpful with everything! She’s amazing! Definitely would recommend her and Lower to everyone I know!

What really made me decide to give my business to Lower.com was the amazing job Andi did while working with me from the first call up until closing day.

What’s the Difference Between a Home Equity Loan and a HELOC?

A home equity loan provides a lump sum with fixed rates and set monthly payments over a fixed term. A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) offers a revolving credit line, letting you borrow as needed with variable rates and flexible payments.

What’s the Difference Between a Home Equity Loan and a Cash-Out Refinance?

A home equity loan is a second mortgage, allowing you to borrow against your home's equity while keeping your original mortgage. A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new one for a larger amount, giving you the difference in cash.
