General mortgage questions

We're independent — instead of offering one bank's products, we shop your scenario across 30+ lenders and bring you the most competitive fit. You get more options and one point of contact from application to closing.

QUICK SUMMARY

A mortgage broker shops your loan across many lenders to find the best fit, rather than selling one bank's products.

A broker generally offers better interest rates and more flexible loan options because they work with dozens of wholesale lenders. Your bank can only offer their own products, which might not be the best rate or fit for your financial situation.

QUICK SUMMARY

Brokers offer more wholesale loan options and competitive rates by shopping dozens of lenders for you.

We do not charge any upfront broker fees to our borrowers. In the vast majority of scenarios, our fees are paid directly by the wholesale lender who wins your business. You get independent expert advice at no extra cost.

QUICK SUMMARY

No upfront fees — in almost all cases, our broker fees are paid directly by the lender who wins your business.

No. When we start shopping loan programs, we perform a soft credit pull which has absolutely zero impact on your credit score. We only run a formal hard inquiry once you are ready to submit your full application to a specific lender.

QUICK SUMMARY

No. We start with a soft credit pull that has zero credit score impact.
