What does a mortgage broker do in East Lansing?
A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between you and potential lenders. They gather your financial information, shop for loan options, and help you complete the application process. Brokers do not lend money directly but find lenders that match your needs.
Do I need a mortgage broker to buy a home in Michigan?
No, you do not need a broker. You can apply directly with banks or credit unions. However a broker may offer access to more lenders and competitive rates, which can be helpful for first time buyers or those with unique financial situations.
