Should You Use a Bank or Mortgage Broker?
This is an easy one! Banks know banking. Mortgage Brokers know mortgage loans. Frankly, it is fairly common knowledge that banks suck at mortgage lending. Very poor communication and up front pre-qualification. Banks typically only offer 1 line of loan programs while mortgage brokers shop and search many programs to ensure you are receiving the very best mortgage loan option, rate and term. Banks also rarely meet the escrow timelines required in this hot real estate market.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
Broker’s are independently trained professionals licensed to represent and provide you with the best advice for your mortgage and financing needs.
Brokers primary expertise is locating funding for mortgage financing. We know where the best rates can be found because we have the benefit of dealing with multiple lenders at one time. What’s more, we have the knowledge required to present a proposal for financing to lenders in the best way possible to successfully obtain mortgage financing.
At Valor Lending Group we take great pride in the service we provide. We have a vested interest in satisfying your needs, since we rely on referrals and your repeat business.
Brokers represent you, our customer, not the lender.
Because brokers are not employees of a lending institution, we are not limited in the products we can offer you. As your Broker, we seek out the best lender package to suit your specific situation, whether it’s with a Chartered Bank, Trust or Insurance Company.
With the wide assortment of options and features available to home buyers today shopping around takes a lot of time and effort. The mortgage process within today’s very competitive marketplace intimidates many California home buyers, so it pays to work with our mortgage professional who will represent you and ensure that the mortgage you get is the one best suited to your needs. Our mortgage brokers have access to the latest information from over 40 mortgage lending institutions and the negotiating power of California’s most influential mortgage brokerage. Let us help you find the best mortgage.
How Brokers Get Paid
Professionals are fairly compensated for arranging mortgage financing on your behalf. In most cases, their fee is paid by the lender.*
In order to attract your business, lending institutions must allocate a portion of their income to marketing and sales, but representatives working for these institutions have only one financial product to sell – their own. Lenders know you won’t do business with them unless you have had ample opportunity to shop and compare. Therefore, it is in their best interest to compensate mortgage brokers for helping you do exactly that.
*Situations exist where specific clients or properties do not meet conventional lender expectations. In these cases, a mortgage broker may attempt to find suitable financing through alternate sources. A fee, agreed upon in advance, may be charged directly to the client by a mortgage broker.
