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.
