Bigger Is Now Better With Fleet's Revised Jumbos
Jumbo loans used to mean jumbo headaches. But with Fleet's new revised Jumbos, bigger is now better because we make Jumbos easy for you.
Jumbo advantages
You'll find lots of big advantages for your business with Fleet's Revised Jumbo program. We've made changes to save you time, simplify work in your back room and give you more ways you can serve more borrowers. All for a competitive price, backed by the security you get from Fleet. And that's the biggest advantage of all.
We've made our Jumbo program better with new additions like Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs), more lock-in choices and all-in pricing. Plus, we welcome second homes, no-income-certification loans and third-party originations.
Flexible lock-in choices protect you against rising rates
Fleet believes that a volatile market shouldn't create volatility in your life. That's why we offer expanded commitments to protect you against rising rates. Fleet also offers mandatory deliveries.
You benefit with our flexible lock-in periods, providing you price protection to close more loans. It's reassuring to you, and your customers. And we do all of these for no up-front commitment fees. Choose from:

Fleet gives you more time to spend with more customers
Fleet believes your job is to serve your customers, not spend time filling out forms. That's why we have a streamlined process for easy delivery -- you only have to fill out one form in addition to your standard paperwork. Your back room will love you for it. And so will your bottom line.
Convenience and security, competitively priced
Fleet offers you convenience and security, competitively priced. That's why, year after year, you'll find Fleet ranked among the top five mortgage wholesalers in the country.
