Open Mortgage has been a Mortgage Banker for over ten years. When you work with a Mortgage Banker, you interact with the same people from the same company throughout the entire process – from application to close – ensuring special attention to detail. A Mortgage Banker approves the loan and can generally offer lower rates/costs and a quicker process. That is not always the case with a Mortgage Broker.
