A Mortgage Broker Can Be Your Best Friend

That is right. A mortgage broker can be your best friend, or sad but true, your worst nightmare. Some people have not had a positive experience with a mortgage broker, it is a true fact. But so often a negative experience can be avoided. It is a matter of truly understanding what you need, and what you can afford before going to the mortgage broker to obtain it.

In many instances where the mortgage broker did become a nightmare, it was able to be tracked back to poor communication between the person looking for a loan and the broker. Good communication between you and your broker is a must at all times during the process. A completely understood set of parameters between you and your mortgage broker before he moves forward into finding you a loan is essential to success for both of you. Do everything you can to communicate openly and honestly ?with yourself and with your broker.

One has to keep in mind that the mortgage broker has the job of finding the right loan for you. And sometimes when he is finding the precise loan that truly will work for you, it requires that you sit down at the table, take a deep breath and honestly review all that he has presented to make sure you will be able to keep the commitments that he has laid out. If you look at the potential loan that the mortgage broker has presented with a brutally honest prediction factor of your own future, then you should have no trouble knowing if the loan is right for you. Don?t let your own desire cloud your own good judgment.

And if you cannot, with certain confidence, maintain that loan as it is written. Tell the mortgage broker. Let him know before you sign the papers and find yourself in the soup in the months or years to come. If he is truly operating in your best interest, then he will take that offer back to the lender and review the terms, rework the prices and bring you a better offer. If he can?t get a better offer with that lender, and if he is any good at all as a mortgage broker, then he will shop around for a different lender who truly can give you a loan that you, with good conscience, can uphold.

The mortgage broker is there to work for your best interest. He is there to make sure you get a loan that works for you for the long term. The mortgage broker has the job of presenting your case to the potential lender and finding an arrangement that will work for both you and the lender.

Remember to empower him with all the right information so he can empower you with an excellent loan. You will end up with a mortgage broker who actually is your best friend if you do! Don?t be surprised if you even invite him to dinner, just to say thanks!
