Commercial Mortgage Broker

Do You Really Need A Commercial Mortgage Broker?

A commercial mortgage broker is an indirect lender who places funds on behalf of other financial institutions such as banks and commercial real estate lending institutions, but do you actually need one to get the right commercial mortgage?

The short answer is no, as long as you do your research first!

Traditionally, you would use a commercial mortgage broker because they are not tied to a specific bank or lending institution and can therefore shop around on your behalf for the best deal. But how do you know if they are shopping around for the best deal for you and not them?

Why not go directly to the source of the funding? Well, as a small business, to do this you need to find a lender that understands your business and can offer a product suitable to your business needs. Lending institutions are more specific in nature, and are experts in the products they offer. Banks are more traditional in their financing products, while lending institutions are more entrepreneurial and creative. So as a small business owner, which lender should you use?
