Why NEXA Lending Has The Most Competitive Rates Than Other Lenders
First to answer this important question is to understand the difference between a mortgage broker versus a direct lender. There is no such thing as free in the mortgage business. Mortgage companies charge every dime, nickel, and penny on everything from credit reporting fees, to lock extensions, to rush appraisals. Therefore, when it comes to compensation of the mortgage company, the higher the commission of the mortgage company, guess who pays for it? You, the consumer. The higher the commission, the higher the mortgage rate to you.
NEXA Lending operates on the mortgage broker compensation model, which means the maximum yield-spread premium (YSP) or commission the entire company can make is not greater than 2.75%. This means the maximum compensation of NEXA Lending is 2.75%. Mortgage lenders cannot survive on a 2.75% yield-spread premium due to their overhead. Most lenders need to charge 5% to 9% to be able to operate. This generally means that mortgage rates at NEXA Lending being on a broker compensation platform is lower than any direct lender. Mortgage brokers need to disclose the yield spread premium on the Closing Disclosure. Direct lenders are exempt from disclosing their compensation. Therefore, the bottom line is most direct lenders/mortgage bankers cannot beat rates of a NEXA Lending loan officer.
