Without A Mortgage Broker Los Angeles County CA Real Estate Deals May Fall Through

By Carolyn Gibson


For most people, finally being able to buy their own properties is a sure sign of financial security. Every family wants to live in a home that they own and where they can make their own decisions regarding improvements and maintenance. Businesses also tend to buy their own premises because they pay extremely high rent to landlords that impose a host of rules. Thankfully, by getting help from a mortgage broker Los Angeles County CA residents can be sure to get the best terms possible.

Most ordinary people will buy a property only once or twice in their lives. They do not have experience in dealing with the banks when applying for financing and often end up accepting a product that is not truly to their advantage. Brokers represent many different banks and they can help buyers to compare the offers of different banks against each other and they can help their clients select the most suitable product.

Bank employees are loyal to their own employers and will obviously push their own products. They are salesmen and they will most certainly not recommend the product of a competitor. Brokers are independent and they are advisers rather than sales people. They have nothing to gain or lose by recommending a product from one bank rather than another. Brokers focus on the needs of their clients and bank employees on the needs of their employers.

Brokers are known to push finance applications much faster than most bank employees do. This is because brokers work much harder on each application because they will be paid only once the entire transaction is finalized. Bank employees have no incentive to work harder or faster. In addition, brokers represent small numbers of clients while bank employees deal with numerous applications at a time.

Banks that have long standing relationships with brokers tend to favour applications submitted by them. This is because they know that brokers will not submit an application that is likely to be rejected. Then there is the fact that brokers often enjoy excellent relationships with senior bank employees. This puts them in a position to bargain on behalf of their clients for better terms.

Surprisingly, it does not cost a cent to obtain the expert services of brokers. They are not paid by their clients. Instead, they earn a commission from the bank as soon as the application is approved. They will continue to earn a commission of each successful application for the entire payback period. This also motivate brokers to do their best for their clients because unsuccessful applications will earn them nothing.

There are those that advertise their services as brokers but that represent a single bank. These are not brokers and they cannot be objective. Care should be taken to choose a professional that represents a variety of banks and that regularly submit applications to different banks. Reputable brokers will gladly supply such proof. It is also important to avoid brokers that charge any form of service fee.

There can be no doubt that brokers can help buyers to save a lot of time and money. They are also of great value to the banks because they will represent only clients that are very likely to obtain the financing that they need. One actually wonders why anyone would try to obtain financing without the expert advice of brokers.
