Why Choose a Mortgage Broker Over a Bank?

Last week, I stopped into one of the largest banks in the U.S. and asked a simple question: “What’s your 30-year fixed mortgage rate today?”

The teller said she couldn’t tell me, but I could make an appointment with their loan officer. When I asked if I could speak to them right then—since I was already there—the response shocked me:👉 Their loan officer only comes into that branch one afternoon a week.

If I needed help outside that tiny window, another bank employee could maybe call the loan officer, then “translate” the conversation for me in their office.

I walked out smiling, because this is exactly why I’m proud to be a Mortgage Broker. Meredith and I are here when our clients need us—not just Tuesday afternoons. We don’t keep “banker’s hours.” We’re available, flexible, and focused on your schedule, not ours.
