What Are the Differences Between Mortgage Brokers and Loan Officers?

The loan officer works for the direct lender as a type of sales representative. They will show you loans offered by the direct lender.

A mortgage broker is a person or business that acts as a middleman. Mortgage brokers are not directly employed by a lender; they work with a network of lenders and are the intermediaries who bring borrowers and lenders together.
