Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions asked by agents and sellers. If you’re a buyer, learn more on our what is a buyer listing? page.
How do I choose the right mortgage broker or lender?Browse mortgage brokers and lenders and review the buyers and loan types they specialize in, such as first-time buyers, investors, or FHA and VA loans. Choose one whose experience fits your goals.
When should I speak to a mortgage broker or lender?It’s smart to start early. A mortgage broker or lender can help you understand your borrowing power, compare loan options, and guide you through pre-approval before you start house hunting.
What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a lender?A mortgage broker compares loans from different lenders to help you find a good fit. A lender works directly for one institution and can offer competitive options. Both can help you secure financing.
Why is it important to work with a mortgage broker or lender?Working with a mortgage broker or lender shows agents and sellers that you are prepared and serious. In a competitive market with low inventory, being pre-approved can strengthen your offer and help you move quickly when the right home appears.
Will my details be shared or sold?No. Your details stay private. We do not share or sell your information, and you choose which brokers to contact.
