What’s the difference between working with a mortgage broker and a mortgage bank? A mortgage broker offers several important advantages, including saving you money.
In this episode of The Peter Dellane Mortgage Show, Craig Reynolds and I discuss the differences of working a mortgage broker and a mortgage bank and why working with a broker offers several important advantages.
For your convenience, here are the time-stamped highlights of our discussion:
(0:24) The difference between a mortgage broker and a mortgage bank is we have several different banks we work with, so when we’re taking a loan application, we’re eliminating the banks we’re going to deal with because banks have certain overlays. Our job as a mortgage broker is to find the best product and price for our client.
(2:00) Last year, we average $4,700 less cash to close than a retail bank.
(6:06) The little things we do increase the income per hour of the Realtors we work with and allow them to present better opportunities to their buyers.
(7:22) Our state-of-the-art communication system keeps our clients and Realtors in the loop through every step of the mortgage process.
(8:06) Not closing on time is one of the biggest complaints we get from Realtors, but we’ve never missed a closing.
(13:29) One of the things that has changed a lot of Realtors’ business is a personal note card. Writing personal note cards to clients, customers, and other people you come in contact with can increase your business substantially.
