ADVANTAGES OF USING A CERTIFIED LOAN BROKER
Using a Certified Loan Broker provides you
with substantial advantages that traditional mortgage brokers do not
have. These advantages
can be seen in four important categories: Training, Product Knowledge,
Customer Service and Pricing. Lets
talk about TRAINING first.
To fully understand this advantage
you must first know how a Certified Loan Broker differs from a mortgage
broker. A Certified Loan
Broker is the elite of the mortgage industry. A Certified Loan Broker
is thoroughly trained and certified by the nations oldest and largest
loan broker training company. Most
people would be surprised to find out just how little formal training
the average mortgage broker / loan officer actually has received.
Certified Loan Broker training helps to ensure that the
person handling your loan has access to the most current information
and lending techniques available in the market.
Also, unlike traditional bank loan officers, Certified Loan Brokers
receive substantial training on how to help borrowers whose
credit is "less than perfect, as well as those with good
credit". Because of
this training, Certified Loan Brokers are often able to close loans
that other mortgage brokers could not.
Whether you've had trouble paying your bills, are new on your
job or just a little short on the down payment, a Certified Loan
Broker is your best opportunity to get the loan you need.
In addition, Certified Loan Brokers are not restricted to only
handling your personal financing needs.
If you are self employed a Certified Loan Broker can also help
to arrange equipment financing, SBA loans, commercial real estate
loans and even finance your accounts receivables.
In other words, a Certified Loan Broker is the only source you
will need for almost any type of loan or lease.
Providing you with a superior level of
customer service is equally important to a Certified Loan Broker.
For this reason a Certified Loan Broker will spend all the time
necessary to provide you with a custom financing solution that is
right for you. Once your
application is started, a Certified Loan Broker will represent you
throughout the transaction so that you can focus on more important
things. Certified
Loan Brokers
also maintain contact with you throughout the loan process so
that you never feel "out of touch" with your own loan.
In fact, Certified Loan Brokers regularly provide their clients
with status reports to help keep you informed.
At every step throughout the transaction, you will know the
status of your loan. If you have ever been through the mortgage loan
process, then you know that this is not normally the case.
Most borrowers will endure the entire loan process wondering
what exactly is going on, or trying to get answers from other people
involved in the deal because their loan officer is never available.
Certified Loan Brokers understand the value in providing a
superior level of customer service and are focused on keeping you
involved every step of the way.
In addition to their knowledge and desire to make your loans go smoothly, a Certified Loan Broker will give you access to the most aggressive rates and terms available in the market. Since Certified Loan Brokers have the ability to work with hundreds of lender programs nationwide they can offer you more options than you may have thought possible. Also, because Certified Loan Brokers access "wholesale money" they can provide the same programs that major banks offer and pass the savings on to you. It is also important to note that a Certified Loan Broker does not get paid unless they are successful in funding. This means they will review your request and present it in a manner that poses the greatest probability of funding. As such, Certified Loan Brokers have a tremendous motivation to ensure that there are no hidden costs or fees that other mortgage brokers often charge you at the last minute. By choosing to work with a Certified Loan Broker, you are working with the elite of the mortgage lending industry.
