Blake has been been originating loans since 2005, is licensed by the CA Department of Real Estate to provide mortgage loan services, and is endorsed by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) to originate loans in California. All loan officers in America must have a NMLS ID number to legally originate loans. Before working with any loan officer, always ask for his or her number. To determine if a loan officer is NMLS endorsed go to www.nmlsconsumeraccess.com, enter either the loan officer's NMLS ID number or name, and follow the prompts. Do not conduct business with anyone who isn't NMLS endorsed because your loan could very well not close.

When it comes to getting a mortgage loan, borrowers are often unsure about whether to go directly to banks, or work with mortgage brokers.  On the surface, it would seem that doing business with banks is the wisest decision to make because they have the money, and, consequently; will offer the best interest rates at the lowest loan costs.
