Obtaining Financing

Our firm assists clientele with exploring funding options through banks, mortgage brokers and credit unions.

  • Banks - work directly with borrowers to provide financing on the retail level.
  • Mortgage brokers - work as middlemen between banks and borrowers on the wholesale end to secure financing for the borrower. Pricing with mortgage brokers can be just as competitive as a bank, so long as the broker doesn’t take too much off the top. Wholesale rates can actually be much cheaper than retail interest rates you’ll get with banks.
  • Credit unions - are member owned nonprofit entities. As such, credit unions attempt to break even rather than make a profit on home loans. Therefore, processing costs including origination fees can often be avoided if you take out a mortgage at a credit union rather than a bank.
