Each lender has a form that you typically fax in for the rate lock. Some will allow you to lock online. Ask your broker or mentor and they'll walk you through it.

If your broker isn't available call your AE with the lender and ask them to email you their rate lock form....or you can ask the AE to lock it for you, but make sure they fax/email you confirmation when the rate is locked just in case something goes wrong later.

Hope that helps!

Troy

I am in process of refianacing my mortgage. The rate is locked however I don't think I need as much as think so I call my broker that I like to lower the loan amount. She told me since rate is locked the loan amount can not be changed. Is it ture? Any suggestion? Thanks........!!

Refinancing has implications of rate locks.
