Independent mortgage broker · 40+ lenders, one application

The bank quotes you one rate. We make banks compete.

Three doors. Forty lenders behind each.

Buying

Pre-approval in 48 hours that listing agents actually respect — underwritten, not a form-letter "pre-qual." First-timers get the full FHA/conventional/down-payment-assistance comparison.

Refinancing

We run the break-even math first — months to recoup costs vs. your plans for the house. If refinancing doesn't pencil, we say so and set a rate alert instead.

"Our bank offered 6.625 like it was a favor. Keyrate's sheet had nine lenders on it and we closed at 6.125 with a credit. Same loan. Twenty minutes of paperwork. $31,000."

Fair questions

Asked before every application

How does a broker get paid — and does it raise my rate?

The lender pays us a set percentage, printed on your rate sheet. Because wholesale rates run below retail, the shopped rate usually beats the bank's even after our comp. When borrower-paid comp is cheaper for you instead, the sheet shows both. Transparency is the product.

Will shopping lenders wreck my credit?

No — mortgage inquiries within a 45-day window count as one pull, and through a broker it literally is one pull covering every lender on your sheet.

Is a broker slower than my bank?

Usually faster — wholesale lenders compete on turn times, and our average clear-to-close is 24 days vs. the 30–45 banks quote. The 48-hour underwritten pre-approval is the speed that matters in an offer.

Rates just moved. Should I wait?

Nobody times this market — but you can set a free rate alert with us: your exact scenario, re-shopped automatically, and we call when it crosses your target. No spam in between; the alert is the whole promise.
