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

Mortgage companies reach borrowers through different channels. In the retail channel, the company works with you directly through its own loan officers, and its own staff process, underwrite and close the loan.

In the wholesale channel, the company does not meet you at all. An independent mortgage broker takes your application and submits it to the wholesale company, which underwrites and funds the loan. Some companies run both channels. Knowing which one you are in tells you who your day-to-day contact is and who makes the final credit decision. Ask early so there are no surprises later.

Who you pay after closing in Richboro

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.

Questions Richboro borrowers ask about mortgage companies

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.

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.

Why did my loan get transferred to another company?

Servicing rights, which include collecting payments and managing escrow, are often bought and sold. A transfer does not change the terms of your loan, such as the balance or interest terms. You should receive written notice from both the old and new servicer. Federal rules also protect you from late fees for a short period if a payment goes to the old servicer.

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.
