Where we may do business

Straight Deal Mortgage conducts mortgage activity only in jurisdictions where the company and the assigned mortgage loan originator hold the authority required for the transaction. Website availability does not mean that a loan, program or loan officer is available in every state. Contact us or use NMLS Consumer Access to confirm licensing for your location before relying on product information.

Brokerage and correspondent lending channels

Straight Deal Mortgage operates as a mortgage broker and non-delegated correspondent lender. Depending on the transaction, we may broker a loan to an independent third-party lender or close and fund an eligible correspondent loan in Straight Deal Mortgage's name. The creditor, funding source, compensation and required disclosures will be identified in the transaction documents. Correspondent lending is not available for every product, property or jurisdiction.

Advertising disclosure

Information on this website is general advertising and is not a commitment to lend, a loan approval, a rate lock, or an offer to enter into an interest-rate or discount-point agreement. Programs, rates, fees, terms and eligibility may change without notice. All loans are subject to application, verification, credit approval, acceptable collateral, underwriting and applicable law.

Fees and closing costs

Fees are quoted per transaction. Every loan scenario is different, and the factors that impact fees include who the lender is, the property type, loan amount, purchase price, loan type, loan-to-value, loan product, and more. The apples-to-apples comparison between us and anyone else is in underwriting and processing fees. Underwriting fees vary from lender to lender, and our processing fees also vary depending on whether we originate the loan as a correspondent lender or broker the loan. Generally, these fees are under $2,000 combined on any loan type or transaction type. Appraisal, credit reporting, verification of employment, condo certification, title and escrow fees, and recording fees are all within industry-standard limits and are not controlled by us.

Straight Deal Mortgage is not a government agency and is not affiliated with HUD, FHA, VA, USDA or any other government agency. References to government-insured or government-guaranteed programs describe potential program categories only.
