What is a Mortgage Broker?

A mortgage broker brings mortgage borrowers and lenders together but does not use their own funds to originate a mortgage loan. A broker helps borrowers compare interest rates and loan products to best fit the borrower’s needs. Brokers help the borrower provide the correct paperwork a mortgage lender needs for underwriting and loan approvals. Mortgage brokers are compensated either from the borrower or the lender at closing.

Loan Types

Refinancing can help lower payments and interest rates. Cash-out refinances can also help with renovations or large purchases!

Need help with a down payment? FHA Loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and allow down payments as low as 3.5% for qualifying borrowers

Working with Ralph and Kaylin Means was an extremely satisfying experience. They made everything easy even for someone who is not very computer savvy. My questions and problems were handled in a very professional and patient manner. Covid-19 has presented everyone with challenges and Mortgage Craft meets them and makes the entire experience easy. I will certainly recommend them to anyone i know who is looking for a mortgage company.
