Here’s what’s happening now

• Instead of being matched with a few trusted lenders, your personal information is sent to 30, 40, or even 50 companies.

• You’re bombarded with calls and emails, sometimes for weeks or months, turning what should be an exciting process into a stressful nightmare.

• Many of these companies lure you in with unrealistic interest rates that don’t reflect your actual situation.

​• And here’s the kicker: once a few lenders pull your credit, trigger leads are sent out to other companies, resulting in another wave of 30+ calls from lenders you never even contacted.

The Process Sounds Simple—But It’s Not

Here’s how the process unfolds:

1. After being overwhelmed with calls, you pick a handful of lenders—usually three—that seem promising.

2. These lenders will ask for your documents, run credit checks, and begin working on a pre-approval.

3. Based on this, you make a final choice, usually selecting one lender to move forward with.

But here’s the problem: many of the final choices are banks or direct lenders with rigid systems. Once you’ve handed over your documents and they’ve locked your rate, you’re stuck.

If something changes—maybe rates drop, or an issue arises with your loan file—they often can’t switch lenders or improve your rate. You’re locked in.

​Why? Because banks and direct lenders usually have one locking mechanism that doesn’t allow for flexibility. Even if better options appear, their system prevents them from adapting to your needs.

Why This Matters

The rigidity of these systems means:

• If interest rates improve, you miss out on better deals.

• If something unexpected happens (like a new debt or job change), your options are limited.

• You lose leverage. When a lender knows you can’t leave, your service often suffers.

​I’ve seen it happen over and over again: people choosing lenders based on misleading rates, only to feel trapped later when the process doesn’t meet their expectations.
