Counsel Mortgage has a Mortgage Broker License in Arizona, a Financing Law License in California, a Mortgage Loan Originator Company License in Hawaii, and a Residential Mortgage License in Illinois.  We have relationships with many banks, insurance companies, and private investors and have access to wholesale rates and products that are not directly available to the public. We canvass our resources daily to find the lowest rates and costs for you. Even if you have a long-term banking relationship, we have been successful in finding lower rates and costs in the wholesale market.

We believe borrowers deserve honest, ethical and competent service, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their mortgage needs. In today’s dynamic environment, this service and counseling is invaluable.

We have access to the same mortgage products advertised on radio and TV which promise low interest rates and no closing costs. HOWEVER, be careful, these products may not be as they appear. We will inform you about these and other types of loans with hidden costs and terms so you can make an informed decision.
