Which means we are able to shop the entire marketplace to find the best mortgage solution for your particular needs.<\/p>\n Whereas, you might also be familiar with the term direct lender<\/em>, which we are not. Direct lenders work for one bank or lending institution and are only able to sell mortgages from the loan programs made available to them by their bank. In the state of California, only independent mortgage brokers are legal fiduciaries. So when you walk into a Wells Fargo, the direct lender you speak to is only held to the standard of a sales person, not a fiduciary, which means he or she can put their bank\u2019s and their own personal financial interests above your financial interests.<\/p>\n When shopping for mortgages, you should never just speak to a loan officer because you\u2019d be excluding yourself from a broad set of loan programs that most likely offer lower rates, better terms, and faster closings.<\/p>\n All big banks do is take the profits they made on originating your loan and then immediately sell your mortgage to another institution. An independent mortgage broker like America\u2019s Home Loans lets you cut out the middleman (the banks) and find the best rates directly with these other lending institutions. This is why once home buyers and investors discover independent mortgage brokers, they never shop mortgages with banks ever again![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bqhS5RvOt4Q” image_src=”https:\/\/www.eastbaysmortgagebroker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/thumbnail-640-x-360.jpg” thumbnail_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6)” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_testimonial author=”Jessie N.” quote_icon=”off” admin_label=”Testimonial: Jessie N.” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ global_module=”1275″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n “Close & record in 22 days!

He retired as a Sergeant of Marines and then attended U.C. Berkeley where he graduated with honors with a degree in Business Administration. From there, Chris started his career in the mortgage industry working for larger lending institutions. He opened the El Cerrito branch of America’s Home Loans in 2014 so that he could provide the type of client service he felt was missing from bigger lending institutions. <\/p>\n Chris believes in the American Dream and derives great satisfaction from putting first-time homebuyer families into their first homes and first time investors on a pathway towards financial freedom.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image
