Mortgage Brokers do serve a vital role in providing borrowers with a vast array of mortgage products. The term broker denotes the fact that brokers shop your loan application with many banks. The theory is that because a mortgage broker has access to multiple banks, they have the ability to shop for the best rates or the most appropriate mortgage program. Keep in mind that a Mortgage Broker is not actually your lender. The Mortgage Broker represents all banks in which they have a business relationship with. The final approval and funding of your loan request will always rest with the lender and not the broker.
