CenturyPoint Mortgage Certified as an Upfront Mortgage Lender



CenturyPoint Mortgage, a division of First Century Bank, N.A., announced today that the company recently received certification as an Upfront Mortgage Lender.

The Upfront Mortgage Lender (UML) program was created in 2003 by Jack Guttentag, professor emeritus of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The program was the first of its kind to help borrowers identify lenders that are committed to treating them fairly throughout the lending process.

Guttentag, also known as the "Mortgage Professor," runs the MtgProfessor.com (http://www.MtgProfessor.com) website, which educates consumers on how to evaluate their home mortgage options, compare the true cost of loans and find lenders that are committed to open and honest lending practices.

CenturyPoint has met the rigorous requirements to become a certified Upfront Mortgage Lender, which include providing detailed loan pricing online, disclosing and guaranteeing all lender fees, and clearly explaining rate lock requirements. A UML must also inform borrowers if its loan officers are compensated in a way that might incent them to overcharge a borrower, such as a percentage based commission or bonus structure. (CenturyPoint loan officers are paid a flat fee per loan.)

With its exclusive RateMatch web-based loan pricing system, CenturyPoint makes the search for a home loan fast and efficient for borrowers. Through the company's website at www.CenturyPointMortgage.com, borrowers can search rates on hundreds of loan products, and apply for a mortgage or request a rate lock at any time. The website contains free mortgage calculators as well as educational information about mortgages, home buying and consumer credit.
