Why use a Lender a thousand miles away?

Out of State / Out of Area

It's easy to understand why you might be tempted to apply to an out of state lender.

Rates and Fees

THE TRUTH is that all Lenders get their money from the same source. Rates and Fees are no better and no worse in another part of the country. What you will find by working with someone across the country is that you are an easier target for the Bait and Switch Artists.

For your best protection, work with a Lender who is

• Licensed in the State of California
• by the Department of Real Estate

We've seen quotes from Loan Officers who have been licensed for less than a month!

Or better yet, have actually faked their licensing numbers.
