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.

Professionally designed, professionally remodeled from the studs out, meticulously maintained, and lovingly lived in -on the inside this home is the next best thing to a new-build while on the outside it's a ''sleeper,'' retaining the timeless and unassuming charm of its established, original 55+ Sun City neighborhood. The owners had a vision to redesign this home as a vacation destination for their out-of-state family and friends. It was imagined and built to combine stunning visuals with both a casual and comfortable feel. It's practical for a retired couple of two, and equally as practical when all the kids (with all your grandkids) fly in. From 2016 through 2019, this home received the ultimate Cinderella make-over. Click on ''More'' for a sample of the exhaustive list of updates. New plumbing throughout; completely new electrical including recessed lighting and hard-wired smoke detectors to keep you safe; new drywall with rounded corners, high ceilings, and a beautiful Santa Fe texture that makes the walls look plastered; all one tile from the inside laundry room through the kitchen, closets and bathrooms to all three (or four) bedrooms; new bathrooms with uniquely designed, extra-large, travertine showers and chair-height toilets just to make life a little easier; new show-stopper expanded entertainer's kitchen with three ovens, a butler's pantry/laundry room with removable desk, and a 10 foot beverage center with built-in wine cooler, and a whopping 9-and-a-half foot by 5 foot quartz island and two quartz sinks; new dual-pane, Milgard windows; and a new roof with 38 panels of low $ leased solar on a contract that never goes up. Even the formal dining room has an added closet and removable built-in desk, so it can be used for a 4th bedroom, a den , or to sit the whole family for holiday meals. But wait, we still have the outdoor space: step through an over-sized sliding door from the kitchen, from the great room, or from the primary bedroom onto a vast (59'x14') covered patio large enough for five tables of eight, built-in cabinets, and a cornhole set up. There, your eye is immediately drawn to a stunning, propane heated, Pebble-tech pool with a salt system, an in-floor cleaning system, and a marble-topped, raised, and a huge 14-foot-long hot tub with spillway. This show-piece pool sits in an over-sized yard with 6-foot, stucco privacy wall, and it sits next to a gorgeous, granite-topped, 9 foot outdoor kitchen that includes a fridge and a 36 workstation sink with disposal. Finally, the two car garage also has room for up to two golf carts while an extra slab was poured next to the drive way to provide extra, off-street parking. If you're looking for a way to entice the kids to visit and/or a home professionally designed for entertaining, this home was built for you. You should come see.
