Unfortunately, those dreams of home ownership can feel fleeting and far away for many people.

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 Broker?
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.

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 originators 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.
