Before getting a loan, chat with a mortgage broker, think about your goals, and be ready with your money info and property details.

Broker presented to me.

Hello,I am a mortgage broker who does a few personal investment deals a year and used to go to quite a few ct REIA events.

IMO a good retail listing person is going to say F-that, I don't waste my time trying to make buyers lists, I have lists of finance brokers, r.e. brokers and other gate keepers who spend there time doing all these buyer lists and I know how to present and pitch to them to get action from them pressing for all there buyers to act.

Should I locate a mortgage broker or start with a realtor?

Hello David,I use Broker Plus as a loan officer, it's great and very intuitive. 

Thanks,but there is no financial benefit to the potential buyer when we compare  'with agent' vs 'with no agent',  also this law does not make sense in my opinion at least to the buyer, even in the case where a potential buyer goes with an agent - the signing of the documents(like seller's property disclosure & exclusive buyer agency/agent contract) even before touring the home does not make sense, the signing of the documents(like seller's property disclosure & exclusive buyer agency/agent contract(in this one , it is mentioned "Buyer will not enter into Buyer Agency Contract with another broker/licensee that begins before the Ending Date of this Contract.")) logically COULD ALSO BE done after touring the home and potential buyer decides to buy the home.

Is it common to use a buyer broker/agent when purchasing apartment buildings?

I'm a broker and property manager in Huntsville.

I'm actually a broker myself and I also have lender partners :)
