Dreaming of Home Ownership?

Many people dream of homeownership. There are many benefits to owning your own home.

Homeownership can help your finances with stable monthly payments and increased equity. It also can bring a sense of pride of ownership and accomplishment.

Unfortunately, those dreams of home ownership can feel fleeting and far away for many people. For those dealing with other types of debt or who barely make ends meet with their paycheck, saving enough for a down payment seems impossible. Others need more knowledge of mortgages and lending options before they feel confident pursuing homeownership.

But what if I told you overcoming these obstacles is easier than you think?

Becoming the best mortgage lender in Lakewood, Denver, Colorado, is precisely why I started my business, Rob’s Mortgage Loans.

Since 1993, I have created and managed loan packages for Colorado’s home loan borrowers. Over the years, I have closed over $617 million of loan volume and over 1,683 loans.

With this experience and the many loan products and investors I can access, I provide the best programs at competitive rates and low closing costs.

Options for Lenders and Rates

The Best Variety

Rob’s Mortgage Loans is an independent mortgage broker and loan officer. I have many choices of wholesale lenders to receive pre-approvals and compare rates. Lenders I partner with include mortgage banks, credit unions, retail banks, and direct lenders.

Lowest Possible Rates

Because I receive offers from multiple lenders, I can compare the same loan’s interest rates, origination fees, and other costs. I then break down each option so you can select a mortgage with the lowest possible overall rates and fees.

Why Choose An Independent Mortgage Lender?

Price

Banks and mortgage corporations often have higher rates and fees than independent mortgage brokers because they have to pay executive salaries, choose to pay higher marketing costs, and have higher overheads. As an independent mortgage broker, I strategically set my commission lower. With lower overhead and a choice of wholesale lenders, the savings are passed on to the consumer.

Product

Independent brokers aren’t tied to a single bank or lender. This means they can access more products through a choice of lenders. I also have the ability to select wholesale lenders that want to earn your business with lower rates and lower fees. As an independent broker, I can think outside the box and find unique loan offerings that specifically match each homeowner’s situation.

Process

When you work with an independent mortgage broker, you simplify the borrowing process. Along with impeccable customer service, our loan originator will be free of bank and corporate bureaucracy, meaning they can focus on your loan and wrap things up faster. Everything goes straight to the decision-maker, and you have individualized support every step of the way. This also means I can get you into a home sooner.

People

Each independent broker oversees their process and the people they work with. Working with an experienced, trustworthy, competent, available, and responsive mortgage broker with strong references ensures a higher success rate and a better overall experience. You won’t get a different person whenever you call or someone reading a script. As an independent broker, I am here for you and invested in building a lasting relationship with you.

We’ve been working with Rob for over a decade, and the experience has always been outstanding. Not only has he helped us with our own mortgage needs, but my family has also trusted him time and again. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the industry, and genuine care for his clients really set him apart. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer every question, and make what could be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. It’s rare to find someone you can trust for so many years. I couldn’t recommend Rob more highly for anyone looking for a mortgage partner who combines expertise with integrity.

I can't say enough good things about Rob! He has helped me purchase multiple properties over the last 10-15 years and I wouldn't even consider working with anyone else after all this time. Rob is honest, patient and extremely professional. He genuinely cares about helping me find the best option - not just the one that is easiest. I'm so grateful for his help over all these years and would highly recommend him to anyone who asks. He has helped my son's and daughter's mortgage needs too, and they too will not consider anyone else for future mortgage loans.

Rob Sturms is the best Mortgage Broker out there. Everyone has a friend or a pesky relative that drops their NMLS # in their Christmas cards and tries to recruit you nonstop. Working with Rob was quite the opposite. He was humble, unassuming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided us through our first home purchase on the terms that we felt comfortable paying. He was always available by phone, even on nights and weekends. He educated us on the pros and cons of every decision and always had our best interest, no pun intended, at heart. If I could afford another house in this economy, I would be calling Rob again. Thanks Rob!

Buying a home can be an overwhelming process, but not with Rob Sturms. We worked with Rob as first time home buyers and he made everything feel smooth and stress-free throughout the entire process. From pre-approval to closing to even setting up our loan auto-pay, Rob took the time to explain details, answer questions, and make sure we felt comfortable at each step. Rob combines professionalism with genuine care to not just make you feel like a priority but feel like family. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly committed to their clients, I can’t recommend Rob’s mortgage loans enough. We will certainly work with Rob again in the future!

FAQs

Questions

What is an independent mortgage broker?

It is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between borrowers and mortgage lenders. They work independently, meaning they’re not tied to any particular lender, and their main goal is to find the best mortgage terms that fit their client’s needs and financial situation.

Are you regulated?

Yes, all independent brokers are regulated. I am licensed by the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) and must comply with federal and Colorado laws related to mortgages and related services. Mortgage loan lenders are also overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

What’s the benefit of working with a mortgage broker?

I can simplify the process and find better terms with lower rates and fees due to their broad network and industry knowledge.

Questions About Approvals

How do I qualify for a mortgage?

Mortgage lenders look at several factors when determining your eligibility for a loan. These include your credit score, income and employment stability, debt-to-income ratio (the percentage of your monthly income that goes toward debt payments), and the amount of down payment you have available.

What credit score is needed to buy a house?

A strong credit score will help you get a better home loan rate. However, we can qualify people with a wide range of scores. Don’t let a lower credit score stop you from contacting me! Things like the cost of the home, the amount of your downpayment, and the type of loan we put you into may allow you to purchase a home. In some cases, there are opportunities for you to increase your credit score.

What is a mortgage pre-approval?

A mortgage pre-approval is a statement from a lender saying that you qualify for a certain loan amount based on your income and credit history. Getting pre-approved can make you a more competitive buyer, showing sellers that you’re financially ready to buy a home. Pre-approval is the next step after pre-qualification. A true pre-approval means that your file has gone to the decision maker (a human being underwriter), who has reviewed and approved your financial credit package. A pre-qualification is typically just a computer system approving the information you have input without confirming the accuracy of said input.

How long will it take to get funding for my Colorado home loan?

Typically, on a home loan without complications, we can fund your loan within 15 business days from completing a loan application. The sooner you can get started on the process, the better!

Can you work with bad credit?

Yes, I have experience in working with clients who have less-than-perfect credit. I help you understand your options and find wholesale lenders willing to work with you. However, remember that bad credit often means higher interest rates and stricter loan terms.

Can using a mortgage broker like Rob’s Mortgage Loans increase my chances of loan approval?

In many cases, yes. I package your loan application to highlight your borrower strengths and address potential concerns. Thanks to my years of experience, I also understand different lenders’ criteria and can match you with a lender more likely to approve your application.

Questions About Rates

What is the difference between fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages?

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that stays the same for the life of the loan, which means your monthly payment remains consistent. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change over time, typically after an initial fixed period. This means your monthly payment could go up or down.

Can a mortgage broker guarantee the lowest interest rate?

No mortgage broker can guarantee the lowest interest rate. However, because I work with various lenders, I often find very competitive rates. The actual rate you receive will depend on multiple factors, including your credit score, income, down payment, and current market conditions. Having a choice of many wholesale lenders increases the competition. The wholesale lenders want to do loans and want to earn your business.
