Are my mortgage rates and fees too high?

John Magnusson

Hello. As a first time buyer I went forward with the mortgage company my realtor recommended and now I'm worried I did not get enough competitive offers for a loan. About us: My partner and I have excellent credit (~800), <1% debt-to-income, stable and verifiable employment for the last 5 years, never declared bankruptcy. Our offer of $600k was accepted.

Does anything about the closing cost or rate seem unusual? I started getting calls from other mortgage companies telling us we're overpaying. We close in 7 days.

Rate: 2.875%
