What is a mortgage broker company?
Answer:A mortgage broker company serves as an intermediary between a lender and a borrower. Mortgage brokers do not fund loans; they only locate the right loan for the client. A mortgage broker company employs loan officers to collect paperwork from borrowers and passes it to the lender. A mortgage broker is compensated through broker's fee and yield spread premium.
Mortgage broker companies are a little more complex entities than a mortgage broker individual. They are still only responsible for locating the most suitable loan for the borrower among tens and hundreds of lenders, and do facilitate transactions for lenders and bankers.
Licensing requirements for mortgage broker companies differ by state. If you are interested, you may have to check your state requirements.
Our advice: Be sure to ask your lender about FHA loans. FHA loans have very competitive interest rates because the loans are insured by the US Federal Government. Even if you have had serious credit problems, such as bankruptcy, it is easier to qualify for an FHA loan than a conventional loan. Also, taking an FIXED rate loan while the interest rates are still low is a smart idea. Check your eligibility here:
