How to choose a mortgage broker

What are the 4 traits experienced real estate brokers look for when recommending a mortgage broker to their client? The mortgage lender can make your home-buying process as smooth as cream cheese or they can make you wish you never bothered trying to buy a home. It's critical to get this right step right when buying a home.

A lender who fails in any of the below categories can cause unnecessary stress, keep you from winning in a competitive offer situation or worse, put your earnest money in jeopardy.

When we consider lenders whom we would be willing to stake our reputation on, we look for 4 things:

1. Are they experienced?
2. Are they eager and willing to work hard?
3. Are they organized?
4. Do they have a good reputation within the real estate community and do they work evenings and weekends?

When we present your offer to a listing agent, we want to make sure your pre-approval letter is setting you up for success. We are looking for things like; Is the mortgage originator easy to get a hold of? Will they call the listing agent if asked to convey your financial strengths?
