Mortgage Banker vs.
Mortgage Broker
What you need to know
What is a Mortgage Banker?
A mortgage banker is a direct lender. It originates and funds its own loans, which are then sold on the secondary market. Because it lends its own money, a mortgage banker offers several advantages:
-Greater control over the loan process
-Increased flexibility
-Quicker response times
-Faster and more efficient closings
What is a Mortgage Broker?
A mortgage broker represents many lenders and acts as an intermediary between borrower and lender. Because a mortgage broker has access to a wide variety of loan programs through its network of investors, a mortgage broker can provide its clients with multiple loan options designed to suit their specific needs. The advantages of using a mortgage broker include:
-Access to a wider variety of loan programs
-Increased loan options
-Greater qualifying ability
-Ability to tailor a loan to meet your needs
