$500 Best Price Guarantee
We’ll beat your Loan Estimate or we’ll pay you $500.
Available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas.
Effective August 6, 2026. Version 1.0. Offer expires December 31, 2026.
How it works
Step 1
Send us a detailed written quote or Loan Estimate from another lender on the day you receive it, and let us price the same file the same day.
Step 2
If we can't beat it, lock with the other lender and send us the locked Loan Estimate on the same date so we can try again.
Step 3
If we still can't beat it, close with them. Send us the final Closing Disclosure and Note within 10 business days of disbursement and we'll send you a check for $500.
One quote is not shopping. It’s accepting.
HomePilot is a broker. We don’t lend our own money, so we don’t have one price to defend. We price your file across our wholesale lenders and show you the line-item comparison against whatever you were quoted.
Bring us your best quote and we’ll beat it. If we can’t beat your combination of interest rate, lender fees, and monthly mortgage insurance on an eligible offer, we’ll pay you $500 after you close with the other lender.
Terms and conditions apply. Program restrictions apply. Not a commitment to lend.
Terms and Conditions
Effective August 6, 2026. Version 1.0. Offer expires December 31, 2026.
If you close a loan with another lender at a lower combination of interest rate, lender fees, and monthly mortgage insurance than HomePilot Mortgage offered you, we will send you a check for $500. The conditions below exist so that both quotes are compared on the same terms, on the same day, under the same market conditions.
1. Quote
Provide HomePilot with an official, detailed, written competitor quote or Loan Estimate. The document must show:
- Lender name and NMLS ID
- Date of the quote
- Loan type and term
- Purchase price or property value
- Loan amount
- Interest rate and APR
- Monthly mortgage insurance amount, if applicable
- Exact amounts for all lender fees
- Discount points and any lender credits or rebates
- Exact amounts for third-party charges including appraisal, credit report, and title
You must provide the competitor quote to HomePilot on the same day you receive it, obtain a written quote from HomePilot on that same day, and allow us to review both quotes with you by phone.
Interest rates change daily and sometimes several times within a single day. A quote from one lender on Tuesday cannot be fairly compared to a quote from another lender on Thursday. Quotes must be dated the same day to qualify.
2. Rate lock
If you decide to proceed with the other lender, notify HomePilot and lock your rate on the same day you obtained both written quotes.
Within one business day of locking, email HomePilot a complete, unaltered copy of the locked Loan Estimate issued by that lender, including all pages. The locked Loan Estimate must match the fee sheet or preliminary Loan Estimate you originally provided to us, and must state the lender’s name, the date, the interest rate, the APR, the loan type and term, the exact mortgage insurance amount if applicable, the lock length, and any points, costs, rebates, or credits associated with the rate.
3. Closing
Within 10 business days of your disbursement date, provide HomePilot with a complete, unaltered, signed final Closing Disclosure including all pages, together with the Note from your closing package.
Your closing documents must match the original written quote and the locked Loan Estimate you provided to us. This confirms the other lender delivered what they quoted, and that it was in fact a lower combination of interest rate, lender fees, and monthly mortgage insurance.
4. HomePilot’s right to match or beat
If HomePilot provides you with better pricing at any point after you lock with the other lender and before your closing date, and you choose not to proceed with HomePilot’s pricing, you are not eligible for the $500 Best Price Guarantee.
If HomePilot is unable to provide better pricing before you close with the other lender, and your original written quote, locked Loan Estimate, signed Closing Disclosure, and Note all match and show the same lower combination of interest rate, lender fees, and monthly mortgage insurance, and all conditions above have been met, HomePilot will send you a check for $500 within 30 days of receiving your complete documentation.
