Many different websites promise quotes from several different lenders. Is this the same thing?
No, this is not the same thing. Do you know someone who has made the mistake of applying on one of these “get multiple quotes now” websites? I bet they were surprised when they were overwhelmed with phone calls from different mortgage brokers trying to sell them a loan. Is that what you really want? To be flooded with calls from pushy salesman trying to sell you on why they are the latest and greatest? If you think about it, they are asking you to raise your hand and say, “Please have at least four salesman, if not more, call me and try to sell me something.” Who in their right mind would want this? You know what you want. You want to know the details of the loan and you want to close it simply and efficiently with no gimmicks. We do not shop other lenders for their rates. However we do strive to offer you a streamlined mortgage process, with no high pressure tactics, and excellent customer service.
I have been hearing ads about applying online for years now. Is this the same thing?
Most other mortgage companies have a generic “apply here” section on their websites. But, if you look closely, they are simply asking for you to give them all of your personal information so a salesman can call you and sell you a loan. If you wanted that, wouldn’t you pick up the phone and call them? At CloseYourOwnLoan.com, you will view your new interest rate and payment options, choose your own loan program and select your own rate without ever dealing with a salesman. If you enjoy haggling with salesmen trying to get them to reduce their commission, we’re sorry. You’ll have to go to the used car lot for that.
I have always used my local lender to close all of my previous home loans. How does CloseYourOwnLoan.com differ?

This sophisticated computer underwriting system is able to analyze every aspect of an applicant’s ability to qualify and has streamlined the loan process significantly. Don’t worry. You won’t have to figure out how to use this system. Once you complete the online application and send the requested information to one of our experienced processors, they will run your file through this automated underwriting engine. No more high pressure salesman. No more empty promises by someone trying to earn a commission. Just a simple, automated and efficient loan closing.
