Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a local Greenville loan officer to get a South Carolina mortgage?+
No - mortgage origination is regulated by the borrower's property state, not by where the loan officer sits. A licensed South Carolina loan officer can close your loan from anywhere. Rate Direct is licensed and operates as a Loan Factory loan officer site, serving Greenville and across South Carolina.
What is a wholesale mortgage broker?+
A wholesale broker shops your loan across hundreds of wholesale lenders rather than selling a single bank's product. The wholesale pricing tier sits below retail and the broker passes the savings to you. In Greenville, this typically saves 50-100 bps in rate versus a retail bank.
