Should i use my bank or a mortgage broker? | mortgage broker vs bank

Mortgage broker vs bank. In this video I talk about whether someone should use their bank or a mortgage broker. Should I use my bank or a mortgage broker is a common question for me . I talk about mortgage broker vs bank and the pros and cons to each when it comes to mortgage loans. Each outfit has different mortgage rates, they have different loan products, and they have difference guidelines and processes. A loan originator/loan officer at a bank will have different products and guidelines than a mortgage broker and in most cases has to abide by some antiquated processes most banks use to process loans. Not only do brokers have the ability to shop multiple mortgage lenders for the best rates and terms, they also shop multiple wholesale mortgage lenders to find who is able to close the fastest and with the smoothest process. In order to be as unbiased as possible I provided a few scenarios where a bank would be the best option.

Hi Matt, Debt to Income issue has been an obstacle when dealing with banks for investment property deals. Would going through a mortgage broker be easier? Does a broker have same rules for debt to income?

[@howelljordan3469]

Doing a loan now... only difference i see is that there's no broker fee going directly with the bank. That's a few thousand saved at closing.

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

You're likely not looking at whole picture. Wholesale lenders on average are $9,000+ BETTER on pricing

[@howelljordan3469]

@@MattTheMortgageGuy I thought the same but even with some deliberate confusion on the lenders part, I got all the loan offers at the similar rate. The fee was the only significant difference.

[@janinehoke1166]

Thank you for this Matt....can you talk about loan servicing when a mortgage is sold? and do you serve Maryland?

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

Hey Janine, I’m only in CA for now. Do you have specific questions about servicing? Most lenders transfer servicing. It’s basically just collecting payments and bookkeeping so shouldn’t matter who is doing it.

[@janinehoke1166]

@@MattTheMortgageGuy Thank you Matt....I read where doing bi-weekly mortgage payments may not have the intended affect if the servicer of your loan is simply holding the payments to make one monthly payment to the mortgage holder. So I just wondered whether its beneficial to go with a mortgage company that doesn't service their own loans. I also wondered what happens servicing-wise when your loan is sold on the secondary market. Who decides how it will get serviced? Does the servicer change each time the loan gets sold? Hope my questions make sense and thank you very much for responding.

[@ruben85374]

Going thru same situation. Bank or loan officer/broker. Broker fee is 2k which he will include in the loan I believe that's how he put it. This is for a refinance. Unsure about the bank fee.

[@emanairwalk]

I have heard that mortgage brokers tend to sell your mortgage to other vendors relatively fast.My friend had his mortgage provider switched over 4 times in a year causing minor increases but it made tax season an absolute nightmare. Can you elaborate on why this might be done and what the problem created during tax season becomes?

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

4 times in a year sounds like a crazy unusual case. Most brokers sell to servicers or sub servicers that hold onto the loan for years. Just about EVERY type of lender will sell servicing since they cant service them all. (Especially in times of so many loans.)

[@zhonorebrown]

What’s your thoughts on using credit unions. How do credit unions compare with brokers and banks

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

The pricing is usually pretty close but the process is going to be longer and they have more antiquated systems like banks from what I have seen/heard. A broker or direct lender who ONLY does mortgage is generally the best place to get a mortgage

[@bigdelpresident]

When a mortgage broker is running your credit, will all the inquiries pop up of the banks you're shopping to or will it just show as one inquiry through the mortgage broker?

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

Great question- just 1 credit pull and the broker uses that same report to go shop your loan. Thanks for asking!

[@ImCallingYouOUT1]

@@MattTheMortgageGuy Its considered one pull no matter how many mortgage applications you fill out in 45 days.

[@musiclover78599]

The mortgage broker fee is so outrageous when we applied for refinancing . Broker fee is $5k+ and the highest APR and still interest rate with direct lender and credit union is the same. Is this normal to have charge a broker fee aside from lender & origination fees?

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

musiclover78able - that’s definitely not normal. Send me a copy of the estimate to [e-mail] - I’ll see what the issue is. Most Brokers don’t charge broker fees

Hello Matt what’s is the normal cost for refinance ?

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

Hey Armando We usually see between $2500-$3000 in true costs on most refinances (loan costs consist of lender fees + title fees) Almost always the client decides to roll those costs into the new loan along with costs to set up new escrow account

Thank you Matt for the quick response, I was wondering whether to go with them or my my bank BOA. Also this might be a really dumb question sorry I’m a first time buyer, my mortgage payments if I do decide with UWM, will be written to UWM or they sell my loan to some other bank? Thanks

[@MattTheMortgageGuy]

@@GreaseMonkChronicles - 8 days a week (twice on Sunday’s) you’ll want to use UWM over BofA! In regards to servicing it’s likely your loan servicing will land with a sub-servicer of UWM. They all do a great job (it’s just collecting payments) so I wouldn’t worry about that aspect of the loan

Thank you again. I really feel confident about going with UWM now.👍👍

If you have a bad broker, your loan could be denied 5 times. They will sent to 5 different lenders and all 5 of them denied you!
