A mortgage banker is the local lender who would handle your entire loan start to finish. They are the ones pulling your credit report, issuing you a pre-approval letter, and handling the entire loan process start to finish. A mortgage broker does all of these duties except once they qualify you and gather all of your info they in a sense become the matchmaker between finding you a lender to handle the loan. They shop around for you and find the best deal out there which at the time may seem like a pretty good deal. The truth of the matter is even though they are finding you a great interest rate and saving you money they also need to get reimbursed in some fashion. My overall point is that although they may save you some money, in the long run it may be more beneficial to have someone local and easy to meet when you have questions or concerns. The savings in my opinion do not outweigh the ability to meet face to face with your mortgage banker.

This leads me to my case in point which was the basis for my opinion. My latest closing consisted of a client choosing a mortgage broker whom a relative had used in the past. Long story short our closing was postponed 2 weeks total and there was more confusion on the lenders part than I have ever encountered. From this point on I thought it valuable to educate my current and future buyers about these two different parties. Please feel free to contact me via email at matt@donnaandcompany.com or cell phone 252-571-9089 should you have any questions about getting started with a local preferred lender!

"Bernaroo began as a way to raise money for community projects", says Allie Runne, a then 17 yr. old who, with  friends and members of the teen council group through the City of New Bern, known as YAAC, brainstromed this exciting event. Allie also joined forces with the Student Musician Songwriters at NBHS, New Bern Parks and Recreation Department as well as Broad Street Music, who are actively involved this year as well.

Come celebrate Music and the Arts in downtown New Bern this Saturday and be sure and bring Dad along, for an excellent way to spend the weekend!

Last month, several wonderful women and some special men, gathered together to help build two Habitat Houses in our local community. The Women’s Build was a successful day full of many projects to be completed. Included were; installing a roof, “wrapping” a house with energy efficient wrap, installing windows, finishing a porch, hanging siding and painting interiors. Volunteers from all over the area, were hammering, sawing and painting, including local churches, Keller Williams ® Realty agents and amazing volunteers. There is an on-going need for female volunteers to help build a home from the foundation up. Please consider giving your time and talent to this amazing effort and help well deserving families in our area.
