Mortgage Loan Consultant / Mortgage Loan Officer
Finding a Mortgage Loan Consultant is an interview process much like interviewing a possible contractor to build your dream home.  Take some time to get to know the person and company that you are selecting.  Here’s what to look for in your new mortgage loan consultant:

Inquire how long the company has been in business as well as how long the mortgage loan consultant has been in this line of work. 

Does the mortgage loan consultant offer enough information so I know what questions to ask about my new mortgage? 

A good mortgage loan consultant should be able to tell you about the type of loan you are inquiring about, as well as the process and documentation that will be needed.

Is the loan officer able to answer all your questions to your satisfaction? Are his/her answers to your questions straightforward, respectful and honest?  

Is this someone you are comfortable with? Remember, there are no stupid questions, only ones not asked!  

It may also be helpful to know if he were not available who else would be able to help on his behalf. The mortgage loan consultant will ask you many questions about your personal finances as well as he needs to understand your goals. 

There are a lot of good mortgage loan Consultants out there today so don’t be discouraged trying to find one.  The mortgage loan industry has a wide range of loan products to offer the consumer today.  This is great news, but also can seem to complicate the choice of which loan program best meets your needs and goals. The more information you share with your mortgage loan consultant the better he can serve you. If only part of your information is shared it may end in disaster later.  Communication is everything!   

In my view, the on- line mortgage companies have the widest range of products available today.  They have many lenders at their disposal to choose from as well as the ability to be very price competitive.  This also puts additional responsibility on mortgage loan consultants to know their products well.

Hopefully, I have given you some thoughts about choosing the right mortgage loan consultant and may you will have a life long relationship with him.
