Martinez Mortgage Broker

If you are looking for a Martinez Mortgage Broker, somebody to help you finance your purchase and get you pr-eapproved for a home loan, there are a few things you should learn and consider before you contact anyone.

Martinez Mortgage Broker or Banker?

The difference between a broker and a banker can be like night and day. The main difference is that most mortgage bankers work as an employee they get paid a salary and they are normally most concerned with keeping their job and performing well for the bank they work for.

I always recommend speaking with a season licensed mortgage broker who works with several different banks and lenders.

The good mortgage broker should be able to take your specific loan scenario and bring it to over 30 different lenders to compete for your business. The broker is normally paid a flat commission amount by the bank that he takes the loan to regardless of which bank he goes to. Since the broker does not make anymore or any less money he should be able to impartially shop all of the banks that he works with closely ultimately finding you the best deal.

The good mortgage broker will answer all of your most common questions and also give you access to his cell phone. He will likely be on call for you on weekends while you were deep in the process. Banks are typically only working from 9 to 5.

What type of home loans are there for Martinez?

A good mortgage broker in Martinez will have plenty of options for you to choose from and help you decide and show you which loan program will benefit you most.

Should I talk to a Martinez Realtor First?

Most people that are getting started 10 to work reach out to a realtor first. Almost every single time the realtor will refer you directly to a mortgage person to get pre-approved before they will actually spend time talking with you.

Ultimately it would be in your best interest to get pre-approved with a Mortgage Broker before interviewing real estate agents, if you want to truly have a productive conversation with them.
