The details below cover structure, channels and servicing in plain terms.

Mortgage company or bank: what is different

The core difference is the funding model. Banks can lend out deposits. Non-bank mortgage companies borrow short-term to close loans, then sell those loans to investors to free up money for the next borrower.

For you, this often means a company focused tightly on getting home loans to closing, with processors and underwriters who specialize in mortgages. It can also mean your loan moves to a new owner after closing. Neither model is better by default. Ask how the company funds loans and whether it plans to keep or sell yours.

Retail and wholesale channels

When you talk with a mortgage company, ask whether you are working in its retail or wholesale division. Retail means you deal with the company's own employees from first call to closing.

Wholesale means a broker stands between you and the company. The broker gathers your documents and shops programs, while the wholesale company reviews the file and provides the money. There is also correspondent lending, where a smaller company closes the loan in its own name and sells it right away to a larger investor. Each setup can work well when roles are clear.

Local offices and Pennsylvania rules to know

Deed and mortgage recording: Delaware County Recorder of Deeds. Your mortgage is recorded here after closing.

Mortgage lenders, brokers and loan originators serving Pennsylvania are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. You can confirm any company's or loan officer's license on NMLS Consumer Access before you apply.

Who you pay after closing in Broomall

Ask any mortgage company whether it services its own loans or sells the servicing. A company that keeps servicing will collect your payments, manage your escrow account and handle questions for the life of the loan.

If servicing is sold, you will receive a goodbye letter from the current servicer and a welcome letter from the new one. Never send money based on a single letter or call. Verify the new servicer's contact details through your existing statement or account, and keep records of every payment made during the switch. Save the letters with your closing papers.

Before you call

Recent statements for accounts you will use for closing costs
Proof of income such as pay stubs, W-2 forms or tax returns
A question about whether the company services loans or sells servicing
A question about whether you are in its retail or wholesale channel
Your most recent mortgage statement if you are refinancing

Questions Broomall borrowers ask about mortgage companies

Can a mortgage company offer FHA, VA and USDA loans?

Many can. A company must be approved by the relevant agency or work with an approved investor to offer government-backed loans. Ask which programs the company offers directly. Programs vary by borrower, property and investor, and every loan is subject to credit approval, so the company will need to review your situation before discussing which options may fit.

What is the difference between retail and wholesale lending?

In retail lending, you work directly with the company's own loan officers and staff. In wholesale lending, a mortgage broker takes your application and sends it to the company, which then underwrites and funds the loan. Your main contact differs depending on the channel, so it helps to ask which one you are in at the start.

How can I tell if a transfer notice is legitimate?

Scammers sometimes send fake transfer letters. Compare the notice with information from your current servicer, using the phone number on an existing statement rather than one in the letter. A real transfer usually comes with notices from both companies. Do not send a payment to a new address until you confirm the change through a trusted source.

What is a loan servicer?

A loan servicer is the company that handles your loan day to day after closing. It collects your monthly payment, manages your escrow account for property taxes and insurance, sends year-end statements and answers questions. If you run into trouble making payments, the servicer is the company you contact about options. The servicer may or may not be the company that originated the loan.
