How To Find A Home Mortgage Lender - part 1

by Stu Pearson

Looking for a home loan? In searching for a home loan, there are three providers which you may choose from an officer at a bank, other lending institution or you may turn to a mortgage broker. Whichever provider you choose the end result is just the same and that is you get to have a new house.

Loan officers are actually employees working in a bank, a credit union or lending institution who work to sell and process mortgages and other loans. They offer a wide selection of loan types, but all originate from that specific lender. It is usually the job of the loan officer to take care of the client's application and look for a specific loan product that would best suit their client's needs. Once the client get credit approval, the loan officer will then start with the processing of the home purchase transaction.

On the other hand, mortgage brokers are people who match up lenders and borrowers. They are freelance agents, usually working with many different lenders. Mortgage brokers are the scouts of the mortgage industry since they are the ones that search and evaluate home buyers. They also analyze a client's credit situation in order to find the best lender for that client. An expert mortgage broker is capable of finding various types of lenders to suit diverse types of credit.
