LENDER

A mortgage broker or direct lender.

A mortgage broker works with other lenders and farms your loan out to the one most suited to your situation.

A direct lender provides loans using his own funds. He may also be a broker which provides the greatest choice to the buyer.

It is an advantage to go with a local high desert lender who will have established contacts with the other providers on your home purchase (escrow, title, appraiser). Your REALTOR can put you in contact with a reliable local lender.
