Local Lender vs Ally

I’m looking to close on a property by April 21 but have not locked in a rate with my lender until this point. My lender came back to me with a 3.75% rate that I would need to pay points to get while I could get a 3.25 with Ally by only paying 1k more in points than what I would pay for a 3.75 with the local lender. If I was to go with a 3.75 with Ally, I would be credited about 5k.

I’ve been playing around the math all day and if I go with the local lender, I basically lose 5k - either in closing costs or interest paid over 5 years or a combination of both. I am 100% sure that the local lender will close on time but I am very wary of Ally and have my doubts that will be possible even though they said they can do it.

Do I go with the local lender and lose 5k or go with Ally and risk having to delay closing?

I truly do want to go with the local lender because I trust them and will pay for quality so any Ally horror stories are welcome. I just feel like a 3.75 is not a great rate right now for a 780 credit score, especially if I need to pay to get that rate

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
