Home Loan Advisor Selection

After receiving your home loan rate quotes online, review each LoanEXA Home Loan Advisor’s Star Rankings, reviews, license and business information.  The best home loan rate quote may not always be the lowest interest rate quoted. Your home loan advisor’s service level is critical for a successful home loan closing.

Loan advisors should never ask for any money up front, and you should be careful in releasing any personal information to anyone. Be diligent in researching your loan advisor:

• Google Search their name and company name - You'll find a wealth of information online
• Call their employer - Verify the individuals employment and license status
• View their license - If required by their state, each loan advisor will upload a copy of their license
• Check with your state regulator - Before selecting a loan advisor, please contact your states mortgage lender or broker regulatory authorities to verify your home loan advisor's license.
