I WORK FOR YOU NOT THE BANK!
Great Service---Great Rates

 

 

What does a mortgage broker do? The process of finding a loan can be a daunting prospect. There are countless lenders out there, and you may not have much of an idea where to begin, much less when you should stop looking because you have found the best deal. That is where I come in. I serve as an intermediary between you, the borrower, and lenders. I do not actually lend you the money, and do not work directly for the lenders (I work for you!). I do receive a commission from the lenders only after you are satisfied with my work and the loan goes through (closes), however.

 I work on your behalf to find the best possible loan for you and then guide you through the entire process of securing a loan. This includes pre-qualifying for a loan, finding the loan and applying for the loan. These may sound like simple tasks, but once your realize the sheer scope of this process you will understand just how valuable I can be. While you would have to begin blindly searching through a number of lenders to even begin your search for the right loan, my company and I already have connections with multiple lenders. We use these connections to educate you on the many loans that are available through different lending institutions.

 I begin the process by taking a long hard look at what you need and then match that to the loans that could possibly meet those needs. This network of possible lenders allows you nearly instantaneous access to information that it could take weeks to gather on your own even if you knew exactly where to start looking.

 Aside from the connections, I have over 18 years of experience and knowledge and pretty much know almost everything there is to know about mortgages and how they are currently being done. I can fill you in on anything you need to know and answer any questions that you may have. This alone makes me and my company a priceless commodity.

 I will assist you with all the paperwork that is involved in applying for a loan. This is another timesaver because not only do I know how to fill everything out correctly, I also know what certain lenders are looking for. This can help you target the proper loan and get it. My assistance with paperwork does not stop there! Once your loan has reached the confirmation stage, I will continue to help you handle all the remaining paperwork to insure there are no mistakes and to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible until the final settlement has been reached.

 What does a mortgage broker like myself do? This is a question that on the surface, is easily answered. Once you dive below the surface, you realize just how much a mortgage broker's services can positively impact the whole mortgage process and how that process will impact you.

Shopping on your own for interest rates and points is important but a lot of the time this process can be misleading and confusing. LET ME SHOP FOR YOU TO GET YOU THE BEST DEAL BASED ON YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATION!
The current rules to lending have dramatically changed in the past six months. You now need excellent credit scores. You need to have, at current guidelines, 15% down to purchase a property and in most cases, for the best rates, 20% down. You must prove to the lenders you can afford the payments. The days of no down, iffy credit and stated income loans are gone for now. People, actually need to afford their homes.
Investment Properties/2nd homes/Apartment Loans offered as well.
I can counsel you on how you can raise your credit scores to get the best rates. Helping people with their financing needs. All types of loans for all types of situations. I will LISTEN to your wants and concerns to help find the right loan for you.
