Q&A with Carla Estep

What made you decide to be a BankSouth Loan Officer?

I became a mortgage banker when my first boss said I can teach you how to run this calculator, but I can’t teach customer service skills and yours are Top Notch! I relate to folks because I have gone thru this process living in another State, and country. I know what it feels like to be living in a hotel with your kids and animals so we do all we can to make sure we meet and sometimes beat their closing dates.

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

I wanted to be a flight attendant when I was 10 and see the world, little did I know I was going to marry a military man and see the world. Fourteen moves across both Oceans in the 23 years he was an active duty member.

What do you enjoy doing on weekends?

My weekends are spent planning for the week ahead, cooking and meal planning to make the work week easier

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.

This is not a commitment to lend and does not guarantee the availability of any particular product or interest rate. Rates/terms illustrated in the chart may not be available through BankSouth Mortgage. Rates and information in this chart are powered by OBMMI™ (“Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices”). 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. No adjustments to the rates that account for buy-up or buy-down decisions made by individuals are performed. These indices leverage data from Optimal Blue PPE lock requests (approximately 35% of all locks nationwide) aggregated daily and updated nightly with the previous day’s locks.

Carla and Scott were amazing. They were very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions. They reviewed my credit profile and provide a plan that help me in 30 days boost my score to allow for a better rate. The whole process was seamless. I've heard horror stories about buying a home however, Carla and Scott made it so easy. I would recommend them 1000x's to everyone looking to buy a home.

Carla Estep is very helpful and I would refer anyone I know in the Savannah area looking for a mortgage lender to her. In fact , I think she should move up the chain in the bank south lending department. She not only is extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is compassionate and has a great sense understanding of her clients. Thank you Carla Estep!

Everyone was 100% transparent and was willing to work everything within our budget. They weren’t pushy like other lender and realtors and very honest about the whole process.
