Q&A with Rickey Powell

What makes you different than others in your profession?

  1. I like to treat all customers the same. I treat minimum wage workers with the same dignity & respect as millionaires with 800 credit scores
  2. Availability – I am available 24 hours a day for my clients & referral sources
  3. Treat every customer like I want to be treated. If you follow that principle, you will always be working in the best interest of the client rather than yourself. You will be rewarded with a satisfied customer who will refer you loans for family & friends for years to come.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekends?

On the weekends, I like to play golf with my lifelong friends, watch sporting events, & spend quality time with my family

Who is someone you admire and why?

I admire my wife tremendously. She is a giving person who always puts others ahead of herself. While being a beautiful woman on the outside, she is even more beautiful on the inside. She is a retired teacher who spent 31 years in the classroom. During this time, I saw her worry about her students & constantly giving the less fortunate kids her time & effort in helping to make their dreams come true. I have seen many letters & correspondence from former students thanking her for caring about them when no one else did. This correspondence was always hidden from her family & friends because she did it out of love for her students rather than gaining attention from others.

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. No adjustments to the rates that account for buy-up or buy-down decisions made by individuals are performed.

Ricky has to the most patient person there is. He was always available answer to every question my husband or I had. He took a lot of stress off our shoulders knowing that we could trust him. We will only use Ricky if we ever decide to purchase another home in the future.
