Picking Your Mortgage Broker/Loan Officer

(Part four of a five part series)
You can’t beat experienced lenders/brokers! I mean the people you deal with face-to-face! Not the institutions.
Professionalism is what you are looking for here. The way they handle themselves, the words they pick, are they clear?, their presence, dress, grooming! Yes, you might say - huh! This is ALL important. If they have a sloppy appearance, demeanor - the transaction could be a rough ride.
Meet with several! Get to know this person - he/she can make or break the transaction!
The person you choose should know - DAILY - what is happening in the world of money. There is so much that drives the financial world quickly these days. They are not miracle workers, they are human. They should have back-up, a ‘team’ that you get familiar with. This person should give you the feeling of confidence and security that YOUR interests in this very important investment in your life will be professionally handled. How do they respond to questions? Can you easily understand them, the financial lingo? Are they speaking comprehendible, in shortcut speech? You should feel as though you are building a professional relationship here. Trust, confidence, knowledgeable, honesty. If you leave with anything less - keep looking! Call me, I work with several Great ones!
