How My Mortgage Insider makes money
Mortgage lenders compete hard for new customers. As a result, they offer their best rates and fees to win your business.
We make money when we connect a reader with lenders. However, we only do this when you ask us to, through one of our rate request forms.
You can read everything on this site for free, and you never have to talk to a lender. Some readers want help right away, though, such as a rate quote or a check of their home buying eligibility. For them, we offer ways to request a call throughout the site.
We do not represent any single bank or mortgage company. Instead, we work with many licensed lenders, including well-known national companies. Our Approved Partner Network lists them all.
In the end, you win. Up to four lenders contact you with their best offer, so you can compare them and choose the best value.
