But what's the rate for consumers? According to Jim Starkus, former Mortgage Loan Officer with US Bank, “People do not realize that they cannot get the Freddie Mac rate, and that banks have to add ‘servicing’ to the Freddie Mac rate to quote to borrowers.” Jim explained, “If you add about 0.25% to the Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae rate, it will give you the street rate,” which is the rate consumers pay.
