Why a broker — not a big-bank retail LO
As a broker, RICH Home Loans shops the same loan across multiple wholesale investors on your behalf. Big-bank retail loan officers can only sell their own bank's product, whether or not it's the best fit. For a purchase in Olathe, that often means a lower rate, lower closing costs, or both.
