For the most part,
Florida mortgage
companies and brokers are usually home finance
agents for the purpose of locating, processing and submitting your home loan
package for
you to the lender with the lowest interest rates
and loan fees. Direct lenders offer only their specific loan products and don't
have access to other lenders products. This is very limiting. Mortgage companies
and Florida brokers obligation to you is to find the best loan for your
qualifications and circumstances. The
agency
relationship imposes a legal responsibility on Florida mortgage broker companies as
well as any out of state operations, to completely disclose to you the material
(important) facts that you need to know about the home loan that you are
applying for. On home
improvement loans and all programs, mortgage companies and brokers in Florida have an obligation of fairness and honesty to both you and the
lender they submit your loan package to. These legal duties and obligations can be very important in resolving
disputes which might arise after the loan is closed and funded, however, the best way to
avoid problems and disputes is to ask as many questions as you need to and be sure you understand the
terms of the loan and each of the loan documents before you sign them. There is
an old saying. "The only dumb question is the one you don't ask".
Florida mortgage brokers and companies, when acting as an
agent for home loans, speak for you in submitting your loan application package to a direct
lender. On a bad credit loan and first time
new home buyer loans make sure that you give the broker full and accurate information.
Also make sure
that any loan application or other document the broker prepares for your
signature is accurate and complete before you sign it. Make sure you understand
the terms of the loan before you agree to and sign it.
Florida's mortgage companies must
disclose brokers commissions and lender
fees
Florida mortgage brokers
companies' commissions and lender
fees are not usually set by law. They are either paid directly by
you or by the chosen lender who closes and funds the loan. You may choose to pay
the commission with one of the following methods:
-
Proceeds from the new loan - this will
increase your loan balance, or
-
Cash paid at closing - money out of pocket or
-
A lenders rebate or yield spread premium
paid to the agent by the lender.
Compare loan fees charged by several lenders,
brokers and
mortgage companies in Florida. You may be able to do this with a few phone calls or
on line. Ask about the amount of the loan fees and costs to be paid by you in
cash before the loan is closed, the amount of the loan fees and costs to be paid
from the proceeds of lender rebates or premiums, and the amount of fees and
costs to be financed into the loan. Request a custom
Good
Faith Estimate now.
It's always a good idea to request a good faith estimate
form in writing when shopping for a
home loan as fees and current interest rates will vary from place to place. Another important consideration is to shop
lenders on the same day as current interest rates can and do change daily.
A lender is required by the federal Real
Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) to provide
a prospective home buyer with a good faith estimate of
the loan fees due at closing within three days of a borrower applying for a
loan. These loan fees, also called settlement costs, should cover every
expense associated with your home loan. Examples include: inspections, title
insurance, lender fees, taxes and other charges. Be
sure to scrutinize. An
accurate Good Faith Estimate is essential for a prospective
refinance client or home buyer to make an informed decision
about the exact settlement costs associated with their loan.
