When Realtors or Builders Recommend a Lender
If your Realtor or builder make a suggestion for a lender, be sure to talk to that lender. There are several reasons they make recommendations.
One reason Realtors and builders make suggestions is because they want to recommend someone reliable. Reliability is important to you, so that you don't end up with a horror story to tell. Reliability is also important to the seller, the agents, and everyone involved in your transaction because is the deal doesn't close, everyone walks away with nothing.
When agents and builders recommend lenders, they often develop a certain amount of "clout" in dealing with those lenders. This can help in a situation where you need to cut through "red tape" and get something done quickly.
