I applied for a mortgage online now I am getting harassed, what happened?

Q: I applied for a mortgage online and now I'm having 10+ telephone calls per day soliciting my business. What happened?

A: The online company where you applied may not be a mortgage company at all. Many "lead providers" have websites where they collect your information and sell it over and over again to the highest bidders. The solution: Use caution when applying online and never provide your personal information to a website without first determining their reputation in the industry.  Rest assured, you’re safe here. We’re an actual mortgage broker, not a lead source.  You’re information will not be sent anywhere else.
