What Is a Mortgage Broker?
Updated 8 days ago (March 6, 2026)
A mortgage broker is a licensed mortgage loan professional who acts as an intermediary between a borrower and a lender during the mortgage loan process. A mortgage broker works directly for borrowers to offer them a variety of mortgage loan options from numerous banks. Mortgage brokers further assist with paperwork, deadlines, and other loan requirements throughout the loan application and closing process.
As a borrower, you can consider your broker to be your personal guide through the mortgage loan process.
