Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right mortgage broker in Minneapolis?

Shortlist at least three mortgage brokers in Minneapolis, ideally mixing a credit union or community bank with a broker or direct lender. Look up each one's NMLS ID on NMLS Consumer Access to confirm they are licensed in Minnesota, then request a Loan Estimate from each and compare the APR and closing costs, not just the rate.
