A better, all-digital experience with 30,000+ 5-star reviews.

Quick and Simple. These are qualities we all need when trying to accomplish a new home purchase amidst our daily obligations. Austin and his team at Lower went far beyond my expectations in assisting me with moving into my new home. I am in a customer experience line of work myself and I’m convinced Austin COULD NOT have made this any easier for me. I’ll be back for my next one!

LendingTree Review

I reached out to about half a dozen banks when looking for a Home Mortgage. Lower came back with the best rates and the agent was extremely responsive and helpful.

My score wasn't the best but Adam was pretty confident he could work something out and this was after being told no by other lenders. I didn't get my hopes up but to my surprise I was approved!

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got adjustable rate mortgage questions. We’ve got answers.

What do terms like 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 mean?

In ARM terms, the first number represents the initial fixed-rate period in years, and the second number indicates how often the rate adjusts after that period. For example, a 5/1 ARM has a fixed rate for five years and then adjusts annually.

What is an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), and how does it work?

An ARM starts with a fixed interest rate for an initial period (such as 5, 7, or 10 years), followed by a rate that adjusts periodically based on market conditions. This structure allows you to benefit from lower rates upfront, with adjustments occurring annually after the fixed period.
