"I recently switched from a more expensive rate alert service. Your new site is awesome! I now have the confidence to know when to lock my loans via text, e-mail or online and so much more, all at much better price. And the new MBS Tracker rocks! I love the trend lines and the levels of support. Outstanding!" -- Ray Blindauer, CA(10/5/2009)"I couldn't survive without Rate Alert!" -- Hary M. from St Louis, MO(1/14/2010)"For over a decade, with the help of Dave Shirmeyer, I have been better informed on a timely basis, than with any other market commentary I have subscribed to...I know them to have been a reliable and consistent benchmark for decision-making, which in itself is worth more than the subscription price." -- Scott F. from Green Bay, WI(10/4/2009)"Today was my first day using Rate Alert and it has already paid off! I was floating a $175,000 deal from last evening. The market opened strong and the recommendation was to float until 1:00pm. At 12:34pm a Lock Alert was sent and the MBS Tracker jumped from -6 to -20. I went ahead and locked my deal and within 1 hour I had 4 investor re-prices for the worse. I ended up $357 to the good on the very 1st day with just 1 deal. That proved to be a great return on my investment." -- Frank Ruzicka from Conerstone Mortgage Inc.(1/13/2010)"I’ve been enjoying the e-mail notifications, but never took the time to go to the website. I tend to get embroiled in loans and put off things I know I "should do". I have been going to the website throughout the day this week and have saved money for my borrowers and myself. It’s much more proactive than waiting and wondering if I will get an e-mail to see what the market is doing.

"I use the email reports to improve my vision to rate market adjustments. It helps me anticipate how the wholesalers will next price. Should I lock clients or float a little longer. This helps in the short term and the weekly reports help understand the longer term prognosis for rates."

"I used to spend an hour or so reviewing the market activity and news on several different web sites to try to ascertain which way the market was moving and what forces were driving the market. Now you do it all for me! I recouped the cost of the report within the 1st month - I would have locked a loan but waited one day based upon your analysis and gained .375% of a point! Yours is a great service which I would recommend to all serious loan officers."
