What is a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between borrowers and multiple lenders, helping individuals find the most suitable mortgage terms and interest rates from a variety of financial institutions. In contrast, a standard retail loan officer typically works directly for a single lending institution and assists clients in securing loans offered by that specific lender.

Think of me as your mortgage concierge, guiding you to the best decision by narrowing down your options to the best selections for your specific goals, needs, and wants.
