What do you enjoy doing on the weekends?

I love water, so more times than not you can find me at the lake or ocean!! Water is just so calming and peaceful, and I love sunrise and sunsets! My family is the most important thing to me, I have two grown children and three grandchildren that I could not live without!! I love sports, especially the Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs!!! I am born and raised here in Atlanta and have lived in Georgia my entire life.

Who is someone you admire and why?

My Dad, he worked three jobs to make sure that his family was taken care of. We never knew if we were rich or poor!

Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? Why?

Mortgage Market Interest Rates

Interest rates for mortgages can vary significantly from one borrower to the next based on the specific details of the transaction. Some of the main factors that affect the interest rate are credit score, down payment or loan-to-value, the type of mortgage, and how long the interest rate is locked.

The information below depicts average rates on a national level. These rates are not specific to BankSouth Mortgage but are provided to give a general idea of where rates are nationally for different loan types. This information is calculated from actual locked rates with customers across 35% of all mortgage transactions nationwide.

The OBMMI™ methodology takes the average rate of all appropriate interest rates locked through the Optimal Blue, LLC (“Optimal Blue”) product and pricing engine (“PPE”) on a given day.
