What Does a Mortgage Broker in Walnut Creek Cost?
Mortgage broker fees in California typically range from 1% to 2% of the loan amount. For a $500,000 loan, this means $5,000 to $10,000 in broker compensation. Some brokers charge a flat fee instead of a percentage. Costs can also include application fees, appraisal fees, and credit report charges. California law requires brokers to disclose all fees in a Loan Estimate within three business days. This is general information and not mortgage or financial advice.
