Base rate or Prime Rate

Generally the lowest interest rate charged by a lender to its most preferred customers. Some loans are expressed as being "X" percentage points above Prime Rate. The Base or Prime Rate plus the percentage agreed upon are used to determine the amount of interest due on a variable rate mortgage loan.

Bi-weekly Mortgage

A mortgage in which you make payments every two weeks instead of once a month. The basic result is that instead of making twelve monthly payments during the year, you make thirteen. The extra payment reduces the principal, substantially reducing the time it takes to pay off a mortgage.

Blended Payment Mortgage

A mortgage with blended payments of principal and interest, generally resulting in the same monthly payment over the term of the loan.

Buyer's Agency Contract, Exclusive

A contract between a REALTOR® and a buyer, where the agent has declared to represent only the buyer in a transaction, regardless of whether compensation is paid by the buyer or the listing broker through a commission split. The buyer is also declaring to engage the REALTOR® exclusively for a specific period of time and for a specific geographical region.
