Do I Need A Mortgage Broker in Order to Refinance My Mortgage
Do you need a mortgage broker? It's pretty easy these days to get your mortgage refinanced and save on broker fees.
Online rate shopping is easily accessible and painless. Most lenders have quick calculators and pre-approval applications on their websites, so that you can readily research the competition. The ample convenience of online pre-approval has managed to turn the once grueling and lengthy process of seeking loan approval into an easy application that can be complete in a matter of minutes.
It won't hurt you to call a mortgage broker for current rates as well, as you can pick up some helpful tips speaking to prospective lenders and get an idea of their closing costs up front.
While shopping, be aware the rates advertised are often based on paying 1-2% origination points
If you are seeking a no point loan, you’ll probably pay a bit higher. Lag time of up to three days before published rates are listed account for advertised rates being somewhat lower than the actual market rate that will apply to you.
