Trustworthy A mortgage broker’s confidence, experi-
ence, knowledge, and transparency will al-
low you to trust them more. This trust also
gives you the confidence that you will be
getting the best advice, guidance, and solu-
tion.

Honest One of the reasons why the mortgage in-
dustry is so heavily regulated now, is be-
cause of how unscrupulous some mortgage
brokers were prior to 2008, with the real
estate meltdown. An honest broker won’t
try to overcharge or mislead you. Not only
because it is against the law but because of
their integrity.

Has testimonials You don’t want a rookie broker to be han-
dling your $300,000.00 investment, unless
there is a solid team or experienced partner
is in full support. You judge your broker on
the number of persons they have helped
before you. Don’t be afraid to ask for refer-
rals and testimonials.

Realtor (especially for your 1st home)
Your realtor is the person who will find your home in the neighbor-
hood you want, and at the price you want. They will submit your
offer price and negotiate with the seller to get you the best deal.
They will travel around your neighborhood searching, inspecting
and recommending. And of course, they will provide you with
important information about the properties you see.
