The Importance or a Mortgage Broker
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH —The best person to have in your corner besides a Realtor®️ is a really great Mortgage Broker! Their job isn’t just to find you the best rate from all lending sources; it’s also to get you set up with a budget that you can be 100% confident with as you go into offers and negotiations for your purchase.
If you have a good broker, then great! But pleeeaaase don’t just go to your bank because “you’ve been there forever.” A good broker will tell you if your bank is the best rate or not.
Please see my two referrals for great brokers. Every deal I’ve done with them has gone extremely smoothly.
