Over the years I have worked with many mortgage companies and many Loan Officers. I even made an attempt at originating loans myself and found it was harder than it looked. But one thing I can state with confidence is that a Loan Officer can make or break your purchase.
Whenever I work with a new client that is seeking to purchase a property using mortgage financing my first concern is "How will they obtain their financing?". While I know I cannot pressure or require any lender, the buyer is free to choose. I know that the lender they choose could be a factor.
As in any business there are going to be individuals that do an great job and some that don't. Over the years I have learned who some of the good guys are and who to avoid. So when I client asks for a referral I gladly offer a list of reliable lenders. It just takes the worry out of this aspect of the transaction.
Because getting money from the bank, should be like having money in the bank.
