Hello, I'm Mike Barakat, your 007 Mortgage Broker. One of the most critical aspects of buying a new home or refinancing an existing mortgage is securing the best possible rate and cost combination. As a mortgage broker, I specialize in helping clients navigate this complex process to ensure they get the best deal available. Let's explore how working with a mortgage broker can save you time, money, and stress.
The Role of a Mortgage Broker
A mortgage broker acts as a bridge between borrowers and lenders. Unlike loan officers who work for specific banks, mortgage brokers have access to a wide range of mortgage products from multiple lenders. This means they can shop around on your behalf to find the best interest rates and loan programs that fit your unique needs.
Access to Wholesale Rates and Pricing
As a mortgage broker, I have access to wholesale rates and pricing that are not typically available to the average retail borrower. This access allows me to secure more competitive rates and terms, potentially saving you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. According to Freddie Mac, borrowers who shop around for their mortgage save an average of $600 to $1,200 per year, which can amount to tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
Wide Range of Home Loan Solutions
With access to over 100 lending partners, including Rocket Mortgage, Kind Lending, Carrington Mortgage, Figure HELOC, Plaza Home Mortgage, Loan Stream, and more, I can offer a diverse array of home loan solutions. Whether you're looking for a conventional loan, FHA loan, VA loan, or a specialized program like a bank statement loan or 1099 loan, I can find the right fit for you.
Convenience and Flexibility
One of the key advantages of working with a mortgage broker is the convenience and flexibility we offer. Unlike banks that operate during regular business hours, I am available to assist you when it's most convenient for you. Whether it's evenings, weekends, or even late at night, I am here to help.
Leveraging Technology
In today's digital age, technology plays a crucial role in simplifying the mortgage process. At Olympian Mortgage, we use advanced tools that allow you to originate mortgages right from your phone. With e-signing and document uploading capabilities, you can complete the entire application process from the comfort of your home. This not only saves time but also ensures a seamless and efficient experience.
Personalized Service
When you work with me, you get personalized service tailored to your specific needs. I take the time to understand your financial situation, goals, and preferences to find the best mortgage solution for you. This level of personalized attention is often not available when working directly with a retail lender.
