Pros & Cons Of Working Directly With A Mortgage Lender

When investigating real estate financing, the average consumer does not have the time, experience or resources necessary to adequately evaluate the plethora of loan programs that exist. For this reason, the majority of buyers seek the assistance of a mortgage broker. The role of the broker is to act as liaison between the borrower and multiple lenders, and to present the features of the available loans. However, a small percentage of borrowers choose to do the leg work themselves, rather than rely on a broker, and they face some different challenges.

Benefits - Some of the benefits of working with a broker include simplicity and efficiency of communications, an educated and experienced assistant, an independent opinion, access to various lenders and loan programs that would otherwise be overlooked, and consolidation of information for easy comparison. Those borrowers who choose to work directly with a lender will usually experience faster approval, less complicated decisions, a representative with more intimate knowledge of available programs, and lower closing costs.

The Downside - Apart from the varying benefits of these two options are their potential downsides when compared to each other. When a borrower enlists the services of an independent loan broker, there will be higher closing costs, potentially higher interest rates, and a more lengthy and involved process both before and after a loan application is even submitted. Those buyers who work with a single mortgage lender must understand that they are sacrificing the opportunity to compare loan programs from other companies, they may not be receiving completely unbiased information, and they may not have constant interaction with the same representative throughout the process.

There is no right or wrong choice when beginning the search for real estate financing. The most important consideration is the trust and comfort level of the borrower, and each aspect of the real estate lending process should be carefully and thoroughly evaluated prior to making any final decisions or commitments.
