To become a mortgage banker / direct lender, the company applies for a warehouse line of credit to fund loans in their company name so that it appears that they are the actual lender. When in fact, they sell loans to wholesale lenders / investors with whom they are approved. This enables them to recreate their own rate sheets and add a considerable margin to the rate and fees. Mortgage Loan Officers that work for that company don’t see the true core pricing being offered in the marketplace, but are forced to sell consumers a higher interest rate with more fees.

DISADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH A “DIRECT LENDER”

Considering Working with a Direct Lender or a Large Bank? Here are some key disadvantages to keep in mind:

Higher Costs:

  • Direct lenders pass higher interest rates, fees, and closing costs onto consumers due to their large operational expenses, including offices, staff, legal teams, marketing, and high-paid executives.

Service Limitations:

  • Slower service times can affect your ability to provide timely assistance to clients.

  • Less personalized attention means you and your clients may feel like just another number.

Limited Loan Options:

  • Direct lenders typically offer fewer loan programs, restricting your ability to find the best solutions for your clients.

Understanding these disadvantages can empower you to make a more informed decision when choosing where to secure your mortgage loan.

SOLUTION

A reputable mortgage broker without the high overhead to operate can offer the excellent interest rates and has the luxury to cut down fees that the larger bankers/lenders demand. Being able to offer better interest rates and lower closing costs for the exact same loan saves you money.
