Being a Broker with a reputable company like C2 Financial Corp I truly believe that a good Broker will usually have your best interests at heart and be able answer all your questions and offer you the best loan options available on the market. A good broker can often meet your needs and shop several banks and lenders while a direct bank like Wells Fargo or Chase is limited to the spectrum of their own products and underwriting guidelines. A good broker will also stick with you if you have Credit Repair Issues and offer advice as to what you would need to do in order to qualify if you currently are not.
Advantages of a Mortgage Broker
The biggest advantage of working with a mortgage broker is that you can save time and effort. A good broker will research loans from a variety of financial institutions and recommend one or two loans that are a good fit for your needs. The broker will function as a middleman between you and the lender, funneling the appropriate paperwork to the lender. Rather than spending days comparing loan rates and fees from one lender to the next, you can turn over that job to a professional. Chances are also high that a broker will have access to a greater variety of loan programs than a banker.
