Lender vs. Broker
Who is a Lender? A lender is a financial provider.
A typical lender usually offers a wide range of financial services--anything
from home mortgages to car loans to personal checking and savings accounts.
A mortgage lender can be your local bank. And, more often than not, a mortgage
lender is a company that has a contract with your local bank or credit union
to provide that institution’s mortgage services. That’s right.
The vast majority of the financial institutions have their mortgage services
outsourced to a third party.
Why is this important to you?
Cost. Flexibility. Choices. Service. Because of this relationship,
the cost of doing business is passed onto you--the borrower.
Mortgage lenders are also limited to the type of mortgage products that
should be made available to you. Most banks and large
lenders only offer mortgage products for people with good income, good credit
and who have money for a down payment. They are not interested in helping
people find ways to fulfill the American Dream. When working solely with a
mortgage lender, you may be limited to the programs and underwriting choices
their company likes and feels comfortable offering.
You are a number in a numbers game.
Who is a mortgage broker? A mortgage broker is solely dedicated
to providing mortgage financing to a borrower. A mortgage broker is usually
a small company dedicated to providing home financing for a specific geographical
location. A mortgage broker is not under contract nor obligated to offer a
specific product line to its borrowers. A mortgage broker has relationships
with various mortgage wholesalers who provide the funds and products lines
which are in turn made available to you.
Why is this important to you?
Cost. Flexibility. Choices. Service. A mortgage broker is compensated
by the wholesaler--not you. This relationship also allows the mortgage
broker to shop and find the best product and pricing to fit your financial
needs. There are many wholesalers competing for a mortgage broker’s business.
This is a healthy competition that translates into lower rates and costs
which in turn means additional savings for you. A mortgage broker also has the
ability to be more flexible in lending guidelines than a traditional
lender is. Our wholesalers offer a wide range of programs to include but
not limited to: Stated and No Verification loans, 100% financing, and
products for credit challenged borrowers to name a few.
