What is a rate lock? How does it work? Do you really "lock" your rate? What happens if the lock expires? Your lender should have the answers to these questions. Naturally, ours does.

0:34 - A rate lock locks an interest rate. It requires 3 things: a borrower, a property, and a mortgage program.
1:01 - Can I lock a rate for a long time? Like 6 months? Yes, but there's a cost because lenders want to make interest on their money — they'll make money on a different borrower.
2:05 - What happens when your lock expires? You pay to maintain the lock, or you let it go. Construction is tough...there can be delays.
2:39 - What'd we learn today?
4:17 - Bloopers
