Forget Mortgage Apps: 5 Reasons Why You’ll Want to Use a Human Mortgage Broker

A mortgage broker can be a helpful tool in finding the right opportunity for you, but it can be tempting to deal with mortgage apps that may be able to consolidate all the information you need in one place. While many modern apps can be quite convenient, there are a few reasons you may want to use a knowledgeable mortgage professional to ensure the credibility of your most important purchase.

Up-To-Date On Credible Lenders

A mortgage app can certainly provide many mortgage insights, but it’s not necessarily an able replacement for a broker who has dealt with many different lenders and knows the ins and outs. While an app can point you in the right direction, a broker will be able to keep you informed of all the little details.

Access To Better Rates

There are no guarantees that working with a broker will get you a better deal, but because brokers work in conjunction with a variety of different lenders, they can often get lower rates or special deals which you may not be able to find on your own.

Saving On Fees

In addition to assisting you with finding the best rates, a broker may also be able to minimize fees like the application and/or appraisal fees so that you can knock some of the costs off your mortgage. Since brokers have an established relationship with lenders, this is something you can use to your advantage.

All The Available Options

It can be overwhelming to go through all of the available lenders, and even a detailed app may not be able to provide this information. However, instead of the most popular current options, a mortgage broker will have lending information available from all kinds of institutions so you can choose what will work best.

Making The Process Run Smooth

An app may seem like a time-saver with all the information at your fingertips, but having a broker to look through things for you can provide a lot of comfort and clarity. While you do have the option of diving in on your own, having an expert to help you over the hurdles can go a long way.

There are so many apps out there that can make life a lot easier, but mortgage apps may not be the place to start when it comes to your mortgage process. If you’re currently considering your options, give me a call for more information – J.P. Cook – 602-320-4253.

The mature landscaping creates an inviting first impression as you approach the home. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a modern tile foyer, with the living room to your left. This space features a soaring flat ceiling, a cozy gas fireplace, a large picture window, and beautifully laid diagonal wood floors, creating a warm atmosphere. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining area, finished with the same stylish tile as the foyer, offering a seamless transition between spaces. The kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting stainless steel appliances, including a trash compactor, custom cherry-wood cabinetry, and stunning concrete countertops that add a unique, artistic touch. Just off the foyer, the den/office provides a flexible space that could easily be converted into a third bedroom if desired. The luxurious primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring an ensuite bath designed for relaxation. It includes a walk-in shower with rain glass, dual sinks with concrete countertops, ample cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in closet. This level also includes a second bedroom, a full bath, and a convenient laundry/mudroom that leads to the 2.5-car garage. Step outside onto the expansive covered deck, where you can soak in the panoramic views while enjoying Prescott's mild year-round climate. The lower level is a bonus, offering a large family room with picture windows that bring in plenty of natural light and access to the backyard and patio. The third bedroom is spacious and comes with an ensuite bathroom, perfect for guests or extended family. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a beautiful paver patio that extends beyond the deck, ideal for a firepit and providing privacy from neighboring homes. This home is a rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort and amenities of living in Prescott Lakes, with its resort-style offerings.
