Using good mortgage brokers can be like applying with all best home loan direct lenders in the country at the same time. Only you know you'll get the lowest interest rate at the best direct lender for your qualifications.

Mortgage brokers shop for you among several direct lenders through their wholesale departments.

One myth is that it costs you more using mortgage brokers due to "middleman" fees.

The truth is, you can actually find lower interest rates and total fees because a broker will shop the entire market for you and completely process and submit your loan file.

A mortgage broker will place your loan with the lender offering you the best loan for your qualifications. If one lender has a problem with you, the borrower, the property or has higher rates, the broker will take your file to another direct lender and get it done for you.

Mortgage brokers are paid a fair fee for service usually known as a "broker fee" of about 1% of the loan amount. If a broker fee is charged, an "origination fee" is not charged. Direct lenders charge an "origination fee" of about 1% but no broker fee is charged. It's a wash in that respect.

However, if one particular direct lender doesn't have the lowest rates and fees at time of closing they won't transfer your file other direct lenders for closing without charging substantial fees. Again, the broker will just go to another lender with your file for closing.

Reputable mortgage brokers only goal is to obtain the best home loan or mortgage refinance for the customer at the lowest price available for a fair and reasonable fee for service.

No direct lender or broker can work for free. They'd be gone next week if they did.

Don't get fooled. If it sounds too good to be true.......

An established broker has access to many direct lenders, hundreds of programs and can shop the market on the wholesale level. The customer will pay the lower end of current retail market.

If one direct lender has a problem with your qualifications or their rates are too high, you merely send your file to another direct lender for closing without any extra fees!

A broker works for YOU, not the lender. They don't participate in the interest rates.

The power of volume buying works for you!
