How trustworthy are mortgage brokers?

Mortgage loan originators must be licensed and registered in the NMLS, which lists their license, employer and any public disciplinary actions. You can look Ted up at nmlsconsumeraccess.org with NMLS #223442. Read reviews, compare Loan Estimates, and expect a good broker to explain costs and tell you plainly when a loan won’t work.

Loans Other Lenders Couldn’t Close

Two other lenders tried to fund our loan and failed. Time was running out, and the whole transaction felt stuck. We found our dream home but could not get the financing we needed. A friend suggested calling Ted, and it turned out to be the best advice we received during the entire process. He looked at the file, asked good questions, and found a path forward that the others missed. The communication stayed steady, the expectations stayed clear, and the loan moved faster than we thought possible. We closed on time, and the stress dropped the moment he took over. If someone needs a lender who can handle tough situations and keep things moving, Ted is the person to call. The work made a real difference for us.

I really thought my loan was dead…like fully gone. No pulse, ready for burial. But I didn’t give up—I turned into Ted: working hard, brainstorming like crazy, refusing to accept defeat. And somehow… against all odds… this loan came back to life. Not in a creepy, falling-apart zombie way—more like a glow-up resurrection. Less “brains…” and more “approved!” Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen something rise from the dead and come back better. Miracle? Maybe. Hard work? Definitely. Slight financial re-animation? I won’t deny it :). Thanks Ted!

I worked with Ted Erickson from Barrett Financial Group to secure financing for a home loan in Marin. Ted was the best person I could have asked to work with and he was an answer to prayer. I have very good credit but there were some tricky spots and complications for my loan application. However, that did not stop or hinder Ted. He worked tirelessly to help me be approved, found great solutions to any issues, … and he was there every step of the way and guiding me through the entire process.

I was referred to Ted for expert help and he did not disappoint. He followed the process closely, and was able to inform me, about next steps and who was responsible. If you need a loan, Ted is the person you want to have working for you.

Usually, if your loan isn’t simple. A broker compares many lenders with one application, which matters for self-employed borrowers, investors, jumbo loans and anyone turned down before. For a simple W-2 purchase a bank may do fine. Either way, compare Loan Estimates line by line.

Your bank knows you, but it can only offer its own loans and rules. A broker can take your file to many lenders and match it to the one whose rules fit. If your bank’s offer is good, a broker comparison costs you little; if it isn’t, the broker may find a better fit.
