The fees worksheet says 1.5% of the sale price, but he is actually charging 1.425% of the sale price.


His fee should be based off of loan amount, not sales price.

OP: You're seriously buying into an extremely polished sales job. A guy cut his % from 1.5 to 1.425%????


I never said that he tried to tell me he was discounting. I was just looking at what the sheet said to help answer the question earlier in the post. It says 1.5% but the fee is 1.425% of the sales price. MikeBRLA shows how I confused the fee below.

I went back and that is where the confusion was. It is 1.5% of loan, which equals 1.425% of sales price because I am only putting 5% down.

The whole message is that he knew to jump on the lock for me which resulted in me paying much less, including his fee, than if I had been shopping on my own.
