We are looking for a mortgage broker that will help us get pre-approved for a mortgage.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or any positive experiences they have had with mortgage brokers? We will be buying in Brooklyn.

  1. mortgage brokers are struggling for air, help them suffocate, do yourselves a favor and find someone at a bank: Wells, Citibank, etc. They aren’t treating their wholesale side (brokers) very well so you’ll get better rates AND no hidden fees and kickbacks and whatevers.

  2. My husband and I were first time homebuyers and were referred to Ari Minkowicz at Landmark Funding 212-710-8680. We found him to be extrememly knowledgable and helpful. We were a bit lost as it was our first time going through the process and he was very patient and really came through for us. A+A+A+

  3. I’ve used Frank Gooden at First Merchants (on 7th Ave in Park Slope) many times, and been very happy. I used Trachtman and Bach once, and was pretty horrified–they did a decent job, but the quality of the interactions was lacking, for me.

  4. I’ve been very happy with Shaul Betesh and Tina Blakeman at Manhattan Mortgage. either of them can help you out. Prior to being at Manhattan Mortgage, they were at Guardhill Financial, a boutique mortage broker on 57th Street. Alan Rosenbaum, President of Guardhill, is also worth having a conversation with.

  5. In our experience (in another state. . .) pre-approval meant that we had a commitment from a lender and we were locked into an interest rate. Perhaps NY is different, we will find out soon enough.

    Thank you so much for the rec. for Universal Mortgage. If anyone else out there has a different rec we would love to hear from you as we are shopping around.
