Direct Lender v. Retail Bank or Mortgage Broker

What is the difference and the benefits?

Direct Lenders control the entire process: underwrite, close and fund loans with their own money. 
We do all the work in-house and use our funds to offer the most comprehensive portfolio of programs. 

Retail Banks 
offer a limited portfolio of programs at typically much higher interest rates and fees.  
Costs include branch locations, employee salaries and expensive tv/radio/print advertising.

Brokers don't underwrite, close or fund loans and CANNOT issue Approvals or Commitments.
The final outcome is uncertain until the Bank makes their underwriting/funding decision. 

Take control of your financing to receive the best rates and service.

As a local Direct Lender we offer the best programs with the lowest rates and fees available. 

We have relationships with Fannie Mae, HUD, Retail Banks, Wall Street and Private Investors.
