FAQ

A mortgage broker is a licensed real estate broker that acts as an intermediary between a borrower and a lending institution. Brokers use their wealth of knowledge to find clients and pair them with a lender. A good mortgage brokerage can find exceptional products for prospective borrowers at minimal or no cost.

Banks and wholesale lenders pay us when we bring them new business. The lenders pay us for our services, not our clients, in most cases.

Due to our exceptional relationships with our banks and lenders, Golden Mortgage receives discounted interest rates that we pass along to our clients. We also work with wholesale lenders who offer niche products that your bank may not provide.

In some cases, the loans that we broker are backed by capital from the large banks. Our low overhead business model and exceptional relationships with our partnered lenders allow us to provide an interest rate that can be lower than the banks themselves. Our smaller size allows flexibility in finding quick approvals, exceptions, and solutions.

Our goal is to provide a mortgage loan at no cost to you. While every client is unique, our strategy is to structure a deal so that the lender provides a credit that covers your lender fees, appraisal, and other third party fees such as title and escrow costs.

“My Husband and I have worked with Golden Mortgage for over twenty years.  I highly recommend Golden Mortgage for your home financing needs. Scott and Chris are able to find quick solutions at low rates with no cost to close. They are always looking for ways to lower your payment and truly make the loan process easier.”

Cynthia Rotwein, Real Estate Professional

“I have known Scott since 2001. I reached out to Scott for his expertise after a very negative experience with my bank trying to refinance my home mortgage. Scott made the loan process simple, giving me options that I had not considered. I had such a good experience with Scott that I have refinanced my home mortgage and home equity loan two times with him. I consider Scott not as my mortgage broker but as my friend.”

V. Bachanas, Education Professional

“Golden Mortgage helped me finance my first home purchase. Scott, Chris and Melissa were always available for questions. I recommend Golden Mortgage to all my friends and family.”

Patrick Carter, Engineering Professional

“When we looked to buy a new home for our extended family, we knew the purchase process would be complicated due to our rather unique circumstances. But the team at Golden Mortgage helped not only to get us a great rate but also to streamline and make all aspects of the process very easy for us to understand and quickly complete. Golden Mortgage is a family business and it shows. They certainly made us feel like part of their family. If and when the need arises again, we wouldn’t dream of using anyone else. Golden Mortgage got us the perfect loan!”
