Lenders and originators often recover a ~1% cost either as an origination fee (paid upfront or at closing) or by stacking it into a higher interest rate (typically ~0.25% higher rate for 1 point equivalent).
The analysis above shows your effective comparison and estimated break-even.
Mortgage Broker: Shops your file across many wholesale lenders. Often the best rates and fees because of competition. Compensation is disclosed (typically 1–2.75% total, lender-paid or borrower-paid). Ideal for most purchase, refi, and complex scenarios.
Correspondent Lender: Hybrid — funds the loan then sells it. Can offer competitive pricing and more control than pure retail. Good middle ground.
Retail (Banks/Direct): One product shelf. Rates often include higher markup for branch overhead and marketing. Best for portfolio jumbo, construction relationships, or when you want in-branch service. Usually higher cost than wholesale channel.
For most borrowers seeking the best deal, a licensed independent broker provides the most transparency and shopping power.
