TRADITIONAL BANK OR MORTGAGE BROKER
A Traditional Bank offers many financial products and services. One of the services offered by banks is mortgage financing and offers limited selection of mortgage options and a very defined range of interest rates for the home loan needs of their customers.
A Mortgage Broker specializes in offering the services of other mortgage direct lenders. Their pricing can be competitive because each Mortgage Broker has access to a variety of interest rates and programs. However, a Mortgage Broker gathers paperwork from a borrower and must depend on other lenders to underwrite, draw the necessary documents, and fund their loans. This can significantly limit their flexibility and control of the transaction having to depend on others to meet the targeted deadline.
MORTGAGE CORRESPONDENT
Mares Mortgage is a Direct Lender or Mortgage Correspondent and are specialists in all aspects of loan origination and mortgage services. We have unlimited flexibility to shop the entire lender market. This can provide significant pricing advantages over banks. In addition, Mortgage Correspondents are authorized to fund mortgages on their warehouse lines. They use their own funds, or funds borrowed from a warehouse lender to fund their loans. These in-house capabilities virtually guarantee quick and accurate closings for our customers.
