Understand the real difference between going to a bank and working with a broker — it could save you thousands.
When you walk into a bank, you can only access that bank's mortgage products. When you work with Rose, you get access to over 200 lenders — all competing to earn your business. The difference in rate, terms, and options is often significant.
A broker works for you. A bank loan officer works for the bank. That distinction matters enormously when it comes to the advice you receive and the outcome you get.
