How LoanShoppingPros Differs From Other Mortgage Comparison Sites Print E-mail

In addition to forwarding your request to up to three lenders, we pick up where other loan comparison sites leave off.

1. LoanShoppingPros shops/evaluates/interviews lenders extensively before including them in our network (most other loan referral sites simply sell your information to the highest bidder). Our employees are industry insiders, realtors, former loan officers/managers and appraisers, with extensive mortgage industry experience. We evaluate the lenders/brokers we work with based on the rates they are actually able to deliver/document (not just by rate quotes over the phone) , the staff/processors/underwriters they employ (how well they process and close loans), and the reputation they have among other knowledgable real estate professionals in the community (realtors, attorneys, accountants, appraisers, etc).

2. Benefit from pooled shopping and negotiating power.  Since you are not the only borrower we refer to our lender partners, lenders have more of an incentive to treat you well. Borrowers who are referred to lenders by using LoanShoppingPros.com are not just single individuals or couples mortgage shopping by themselves. Lenders who mistreat our referrals by using dishonest sales tactics, charging excessive rates or fees are dropped from the LoanShoppingPros network.

3. LoanShoppingPros.com can be a one on one guide for borrowers who request more assistance. Once you are referred to a lender in our network we can help you evaluate the offers you receive to make sure you are getting competitive rates and terms based on your particular lending niche.

Whether you are a first time homebuyer or an experienced investor, LoanShoppingPros can help you navigate the mortgage process with more information relevant to your particular situation and bring much more clarity to your mortgage shopping experience.

There is a great deal of confusion among consumers and the general public when it comes to mortgage rates, partly due to the amount of false advertising and disinformation put out by the mortgage industry iself, the rest due to complexity involved in the everchanging movement of interest rates. All borrowers are faced with a variety of questions. What rates am I truly qualified for? Why didn't my friend, family member or neighbor wind up with the rate they first saw advertised on TV, Newspapers and the Internet? How often do rates change? What are ratelocks? What factors affect the rate I receive? (variables such as types of loan documentation, income ratios, credit/FICO scores, etc). If you feel like you have not always received a straight answer from other mortgage sources often times there is a simple reason why. Many companies believe an ill informed consumer is a better consumer and rely on the gaps in knowledge in order to squeeze out higher rates and fees.LSPros can help mortgage shoppers understand the details involved in rateshopping. What reasonable wholesale/retail mortgage rate mark ups are, how often rates in reality change and understand insider terminology such as yield spread premiums.

Understand Mortgage Paperwork Flow/Steps In The Loan Process

Mortgage Shopping Is About GOOD RATES and GOOD SERVICE

Most consumers think mortgage shopping is exclusively about getting good rates quoted over the phone. There are quite a few companies out there that may be able to deliver competitive rates yet differ widely in their service and ability to get loans funded on time.

Understaffing is an industrywide problem. LSpros will help you understand the flow of paperwork in the mortgage process (not everything is the mortgage companies fault when things go wrong, many issues outside the mortgage company control can pop up during the process, such as title problems) from application to processing, underwriting and closing.
