We believe that focus encompasses a diverse group of institutions involved in originating mortgage loans for homebuyers and property investors.
Mortgage Brokers
These act as intermediaries, connecting borrowers with lenders and facilitating the loan application process. They often work with multiple lenders to secure the best possible rates and terms for their clients.
Small Banks
These community-based banks typically have a more personal approach to lending and may offer competitive rates and flexible loan options compared to larger national banks.
Credit Unions
These member-owned cooperatives offer a variety of financial services, including mortgage loans. They often focus on serving their local communities and may offer competitive rates and lower fees.
Financial Lending Institutions
This broader category includes other institutions involved in mortgage lending, such as private lenders and specialty lenders focused on specific types of mortgages.
