Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
When buying or refinancing a home, one of the biggest questions is whether to work with a mortgage broker or go directly to a lender. Here are the most common FAQs to help you decide.
A mortgage broker acts as your personal guide through the loan process. Instead of being tied to one bank, brokers shop multiple lenders to find the best rates and programs for your situation.
A lender provides loans directly and only offers its own products. A broker works with many lenders, giving you more options and the ability to compare rates and terms in one place.
Access to more loan programs and competitive rates.
Time savings since brokers handle the shopping and paperwork.
Potential cost savings — research shows borrowers may save around $9,000 over five years by using a broker.
Some brokers may charge fees, and not every lender works with brokers. Still, many borrowers find the wider access to loan options outweighs these limitations.
Look for licensed professionals with strong reviews, transparent communication, and experience in your state. A trusted broker should explain all options clearly and align with your financial goals.
