How it works

Three steps to a clear answer — then the decision is yours.

01
Upload your Loan Estimate

Upload the official PDF your lender provided — all three pages.

02
Answer a few questions

Share basic property and loan context so the advisor can evaluate it properly.

03
Receive your report card

A licensed advisor sends you a clear breakdown of what looks good and what deserves attention.

04
Choose your next step

Your report card gives you a clear path forward. You can move ahead with your current lender, use the findings to negotiate better terms, or connect with one of our licensed loan officers to see whether we can improve your rate, fees, or overall loan. If we can offer a better option, we'll help you make the switch and move forward.

What we grade

Four areas reviewed. One clear grade.

We evaluate the rate, points and credits, lender fees, and overall loan structure—then give your Loan Estimate a simple grade.

Interest rate & pricing

Whether your rate looks competitive for your credit and loan type.

Points & credits

How much you're paying up-front to lower your rate — and whether the trade is worth it.

Lender fees

Origination, underwriting, and processing charges your lender controls.

Loan structure

Term, program, ARM features, prepayment or balloon terms.

Your report card also covers cash to close, rate lock status, break-even on points, and other details most borrowers never check.

Why borrowers use GradeMyLoan

Loan Estimates are harder to read than they look.

A lower rate does not always mean a better deal.

High discount points can make an attractive rate expensive.

Lender credits often come with a higher interest rate.

Closing costs mix lender-controlled and non-lender-controlled fees.

Comparing APR alone doesn't tell the full story.

Small structural differences change your break-even by years.

A human reviews your loan. Not an algorithm.

Every review is completed personally by a licensed loan officer who understands how rates, discount points, lender credits, loan programs, and closing costs work together — the way they actually interact on real loans, not in theory.
