Coffee & Mortgage reads your Loan Estimate, tells you plainly what's competitive and what's worth questioning, and stays with you — ask anything, any time, from application through closing. It's free for you, offered as a courtesy by your real estate agent.
Borrowers: use the link your agent emailed you to get started — there's no separate sign-up here.
We help homebuyers understand their mortgage so they can make confident decisions — no lender relationship to protect, no sales quota to hit.
We work for you, not your lender or your agent's brokerage — every read of your numbers is unbiased.
Ask anything about your Loan Estimate or the process, any time — no jargon, no guessing.
We check your offer against live market rates and real-world benchmarks, not a guess.
Prepayment penalties, escrow overages, fee creep between disclosures — we catch what is easy to miss.
Stay with your file from application through closing, not just a one-time report.
Most tools that review a mortgage are paid for by a lender or a loan officer — which means they can never fully be your advocate against that same lender's numbers. We're not.
