A mortgage broker shops your application with more than 100 wholesale lenders, so one broker can compare multiple loan options without you applying at several banks. That matters in New Orleans because borrowers often want a faster path to a fit for the property, occupancy, and loan structure. PierPoint Mortgage is a broker, not a bank, and Shannon Swartz’s team handles the lender comparison for you.
Yes. PierPoint Mortgage uses a fully digital process, so pre-approval can start online with document upload and e-signing. That makes it easier to work with an online mortgage lender style process while still getting broker support from a real loan expert. The team then reviews the file and shops it across wholesale lenders to find an option that fits the borrower’s profile.
Start with loan options, file review speed, and whether the company is a bank or a mortgage broker. In New Orleans, buyers often benefit from comparing how each lender handles conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, jumbo loans, and refinance options. A broker can also check which wholesale lenders are open to special files like DSCR investor loans or bank statement loans.
Yes, many brokers can help self-employed borrowers by checking options such as bank statement loans and Profit and Loss Only loans. Those programs are useful when tax returns do not tell the full income story. PierPoint Mortgage reviews the file with its wholesale lenders and looks for the structure that best fits the borrower’s documentation and property goals in Louisiana.
They can, depending on the file and the wholesale lender’s guidelines. PierPoint Mortgage offers access to products such as DSCR investor loans, fix n flip loans, manufactured home loans, hard money loans, new construction loans, and commercial loans. That gives New Orleans borrowers a broader path for investment or nontraditional financing than a single-bank menu often provides.
