Our Experience has seen...
Mortgage Brokers,
like Realtors
live for
"COMMISSIONS".
Motgage Brokers don't make
the final decision
for any Mortgage
Company,
they will give you
a
'best
guess'
after reviewing your
individual situation.
Just because somebody signed
a purchase contract
on your house,
does not neccessarily
mean
that the sale will go
through.
NOBODY can promise you a
closing
(unless the buyer is paying
"CASH"),
many times the purchase
price
and the Mortgage Company's
appraisal
will not be equal
and if the appraisal is lower
than the selling price,
the Mortgage Company will not
fund the deal.
Many times we have heard from
consumers
that from the very first
day
the Mortgage Broker told
them
that the deal was 95%
done...
then a few days before
closing,
he will state you are 95 %
done.
So what changed in all this
time?
NOTHING!
The fact is,
the Mortgage Broker is not in
control,
the Mortgage Company
is,
and the opinion of the
Mortgage Broker
is only as good as his
relationship
and experience with the
Mortgage Company.
There are 'GOOD' Mortgage
Brokers out there...
but they are not
everywhere!
Be Careful who you
deal with!
You may only have
time for one chance at the sale
