How to Choose the Best Colorado Mortgage Brokers

Despite the recent havoc in the Colorado mortgage business since the global Colorado credit crisis and housing meltdown which resulted in many Colorado mortgage companies both small and large going under (or being swallowed up by the largest banks) there are still plenty of Colorado mortgage brokers that offer great Colorado mortgage solutions to families, individuals and businesses seeking Colorado financing. The one great thing that has come out of the recent housing mess is that most of the low-quality Colorado mortgage brokers are gone leaving only the best, most dedicated and knowledgeable Colorado mortgage brokers to serve your needs.

If you are still deciding whether to use a bank or Colorado mortgage broker for your property keep in mind that your Colorado mortgage broker can offer wholesale interest rates from the same banks you like but they are also able to help you structure your loan application just right in order to obtain a speedy loan approval and close on your new home or Colorado refinance quickly.

So how to choose between the best Colorado mortgage brokers? Make sure you don’t simply ask for rates and make your decision there. While we will have some of the best rates in the industry, there are many other factors that you should consider as well. Whether it is a bank or Colorado mortgage broker in they do not have one rate that fits everyone and you could easily find your rate being offset by additional fees and other add-on expenses to the Colorado mortgage closing. Which rate you end up with depends on your individual application, what your Colorado credit score is, how much the home is worth, what type of property it is and how much you are trying to borrow. A skilled Colorado mortgage broker will gather plenty of information to make a highly accurate assessment of your Colorado loan costs.

You should avoid any Colorado broker who tries to rush you too quickly without explaining all of your options. The way to choose between the best Colorado mortgage brokers is to interview several and make your decision not only on the offer they make you but also on your confidence in their knowledge and ability to get your Colorado loan closed quickly and easily. You also want a Colorado mortgage lender who has access to their own investors, or they have Colorado brokers that are aggressive enough to argue on your behalf to get your loan pushed through if there are any problems in Colorado underwriting.

The greatest way to choose the best Colorado mortgage brokers is to get prepared by obtaining a copy of your Colorado credit report (we can help you run your credit at any of our offices) and getting all of your income and asset information together such as W2s, tax returns and bank statements as well as any current Colorado mortgage information. Once you have your paperwork in order, schedule an appointment (face to face if possible) and come in for an initial appointment. The more details you are able to provide us with the more accurate our Colorado brokers can be with their offers to lend to you. Colorado Refinancing or purchasing a home can be a complicated process even for those who have done it several times before so do not be afraid to ask questions and see which agent is the best fit for you and has the experience needed to make the process as smooth as possible.

Finally, when making a decision between the best Colorado mortgage brokers you are going to use it is important to verify their website and make sure you are dealing with someone reputable who has been treating others well. This can include checking their lending license on the state’s website, looking them up with the Better Business Bureau or verifying that they are members of the local state Association of Colorado Mortgage Brokers.
