Mortgage brokers in Madison, WI

Choosing a mortgage broker in Madison

Get quotes from at least two or three lenders on the same day. After you apply, each must give you a standardized Loan Estimate, which makes it easy to compare rates, points and closing costs line by line.

You can confirm a loan originator's license through NMLS Consumer Access. Ask whether they're a broker (shopping several lenders) or a direct lender, and how they're paid.

First-time buyers should ask about programs from WHEDA, Wisconsin's housing finance authority, which offers loans and down payment help for qualifying buyers.
