*Loan,banking and credit>>>mortgage loan

Is it cheaper to get a loan through a mortgage broker or directly through a bank? And what's the difference?

The more info you have the better. If you use a mortgage broker they are going to search their base of investors, whether they are using big money like Washington mutual or some other lending sources or private money. You don't want to have every mortgage broker run your credit because the more hits you get asking for your rating the more your rating can be affected. The best thing to do is check your rating yourself and then present your info to the broker and ask him to give you a good faith estimate. There are many things to watch for when doing these transactions so do your homework and take no shortcuts. The lender, whether it be the bank or investors, is going to look at 1. Your income, through check stubs with year to date info
2. Your credit rating, 680 or higher is pretty good
3. Your current profession and how long you've been in it, or on the current job.
And maybe some other things also. I just got done with a loan package so somethings are still fresh in my memory. Make sure you get the info from a broker or a banker and then study the papers ask questions and don't go to every mortgage broker in town having them run your credit. There is a website for someone I know you might email him and get some answers,Good Luck!!!!! Source(s): ronshomeloan.com

i believe the bank, because the broker has to take his cut
It is cheaper to go directly thru a bank and some banks give you discounts on your interest rate if you open an account with them and set up an automatic withdrawal. I just finished doing this the other day.
ok look at it this way
Mortgage Broker= Loan shark
Bank = Loan Shark that Lends to the Morgage Broker
any further questions?
It is cheaper thru the bank. The mortgage will charge a fee but will do all necessary paperwork to ensure success with the mortgage loan application. You don't get the loan. they don't get pay.
it depends how better you are able to negotiate with the bank if you are comfortable and capable of negotiating with the bank you can approach yourself but if you are not then you should go through an agent though he will charge a fee for it but you will end up with a better deal.
