Rocket Mortgage Lawsuit EXPOSED | Were Homebuyers Secretly Steered into Higher Rates?

A new class action lawsuit filed in January 2026 is accusing Rocket Mortgage of steering homebuyers into higher-cost loans even when better options may have been available. In this video, I break down what the lawsuit claims, what “mortgage steering” means, and why this could matter to millions of homeowners who financed a home since 2019. You’ll also learn what Rocket Mortgage is saying in response, how referral networks and lender kickbacks can impact your interest rate and closing costs, and what buyers should ask before choosing a lender. If you’re buying a home in 2026, getting pre-approved, or comparing mortgage rates, this is a must-watch before you lock in a loan. 🤝 CONNECT WITH ME Daily mortgage, real estate, and money talk 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matt.themortgageguy 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattGougeMortgage 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattthemortgageguy 📺 SUBSCRIBE FOR STRAIGHT-UP MORTGAGE & REAL ESTATE ADVICE No fluff.
