A Mortgage Packager acts as an intermediary between Mortgage Brokers and lenders. A Mortgage Packager’s primary role is to prepare, assess, and package mortgage applications to ensure they meet lender criteria before submission. Mortgage Packagers work with specialist lenders who may not be directly accessible to brokers or clients, helping streamline the mortgage approval process.
How Mortgage Packaging Works
- Application Assessment: A Mortgage Packager reviews the client’s financial and personal details to ensure the application aligns with lender requirements.
- Document Collection & Verification: They then gather necessary documents (e.g., proof of income, credit history, property details) and ensure they are complete and accurate.
- Pre-Underwriting Checks: They will perform checks similar to those a lender would conduct, increasing the likelihood of approval.
- Lender Submission: Once the application is fully packaged, it is submitted to the lender, reducing back-and-forth communication, and expediting the process.
- Liaison Role: They act as a bridge between the lender and broker, handling queries and resolving potential issues.
