Mortgage Brokers in Houston: FAQs
Is a mortgage broker better than a bank?
A broker shops many lenders at once, which can beat a single bank’s rate and helps borrowers with non-standard income or credit. A bank may win on relationship discounts. Comparing both, using the APR, is the smart move.
How are mortgage brokers paid?
Brokers earn roughly 1%–2% of the loan amount, paid either by the lender (lender-paid) or by you (borrower-paid). Federal rules prohibit charging both, and the amount must be disclosed on your Loan Estimate.
