Frequently Asked Questions — Mortgage Brokers in Durham
What does a mortgage broker do differently than going directly to a bank in Durham?
A broker shops your loan across multiple lenders — banks, credit unions, and non-bank lenders — to find the best rate and terms for your situation. Going to one bank limits you to their products. Brokers are typically paid 1–2% of the loan amount by the lender (disclosed upfront on your Loan Estimate). For buyers who don't fit a standard profile (self-employed, complex income, non-QM situations), a broker's lender access is particularly valuable.
How do I compare mortgage rates in Durham?
Get a Loan Estimate (federally required within 3 business days of application) from at least 3 lenders. Compare APR — not just the interest rate — because APR includes fees and gives you a truer cost comparison. Also compare origination fees, points, and closing costs. On a $350,000 loan, even a 0.25% rate difference costs about $17,000 over 30 years.
What credit score do I need to get a mortgage in NC?
Conventional loans (Fannie/Freddie): 620+ minimum, best rates at 740+. FHA loans: 580+ with 3.5% down, or 500–579 with 10% down. VA loans (veterans): no official minimum, typically 620+ in practice. USDA loans (rural areas): typically 640+. Higher scores unlock meaningfully better rates — even a 20-point difference can save thousands annually.
What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officer?
A loan officer works for one lender (bank, credit union, or mortgage company) and can only offer that lender's products. A broker is independent and accesses dozens of lenders. A bank loan officer may have faster approvals and more streamlined processes for straightforward cases. A broker adds more value for complex income situations, credit challenges, or when rate comparison matters most.
How are the mortgage brokers on this page ranked?
Rankings use a transparent algorithm: star rating (35%), review volume (30%), customer sentiment (20%), profile completeness (10%), and availability (5%). Featured Partner listings have paid for enhanced visibility but must still earn their position through real customer reviews — sponsored listings are clearly labeled.
