How to know a real lender?
Good morning! I just want to know how you know who a real lender is. What kind of questions should I ask them? The reason I’m asking is because I’ve been talking to this lender, and I see they have a verified check mark on their profile with the work premium next to the check mark.

Hi Sole - Great questions as it can be tricky.
I recomend doing a web search on them in terms of their company and work social accounts. That usually can decipher a real lender. You can also hop on a call with them and ask tailored questions to see how they respond. Happy to send over some questions that might point you in the right direction when trying to weed them out
