I keep hearing they are waiting on concrete block and no one is giving me a good response on estimated delivery date.

Basically does it all and the customer service and response time on the in app or online chat is insanely fast.

This way the broker can search hundreds of lenders (Including Easy Street Capital) instead of just hoping that one lender can get you a good deal.A direct lender can work very well for Conventional loans, but if you were hoping to get a good deal I would look elsewhere Or you could search for hundreds of lenders here on BP or online yourself and avoid paying broker fees..
