I'm currently an assistant to a mortgage broker and I was very lucky to have worked with one of the ethical mortgage brokers though I will admit that sometimes he over stated some asset figures. I'm not too happy about that--but he would give his clients the best mortgage terms on the cheapest basis. i.e. he didn't charge them points when he didn't need to.
However, I'm hearing that the mortgage broker industry may end next year due to the alledged plans of several large banks like BofA (already did it), WAMU, Wachovia, Citi, Indy Mac, Wells, and so on. I've also noticed that these major banks are starting to expand their retail divisions thus making me believe that pretty soon we are aheaded towards a direction where mortgage brokers will become no more.
Does anyone else out there believe this to be so?
