What is the difference between an Arizona Mortgage Broker and a Mortgage Lender?

This is a common question for the aspiring home buyer, and one with a fairly straightforward answer. Essentially, a lender lends the money. A broker cannot do that. A lender works for a lending institution (bank) and actually issues the loan to consumers. An Arizona mortgage broker, on the other hand, finds a lender and puts them in touch with the buyer and vice versa. Essentially, the Arizona mortgage broker is the go-between for the bank and the buyer. A broker is not committed to any one lender, and often works for several different institutions. Arizona Mortgage Brokers Have a Goal to Help You

You may be skeptical that an Arizona mortgage broker works for a certain lending institution. You want to make sure that YOU get the best rate, and you don’t want to be cheated in the process. This can happen if you don’t know what and who you are dealing with. Do a little research on the mortgage lending process and become familiar with typical interest rates of the time so you don’t end up with a sky-high interest rate and a payment you can’t afford.
Arizona mortgage brokers are on your side. Most don’t work for one specific lending institution and are willing to compare and contrast several bank rates to bring you the best deal. Others do work for one specific institution, but still their goal is the same. Brokers are working for you, and you need to be sure that they do just that.

If you need help finding an Arizona mortgage broker, do some research online, ask friends and family, and do some shopping. Don’t settle with the first person that says they can get the job done…get what you want out of this deal.
