If you want to make sure the interest rate your lender offers you is the rate you get when you close the loan, ask about a mortgage lock-in (also called a rate lock or rate commitment). Any lock-in promise should be in writing. Make sure your lender explains any costs or obligations before you sign.
When refinancing, don't take the first offer that comes around. Instead you should actively compare both interest rates and lenders.
