At first I found it hard to believe that there wouldn't be compromises for choosing to go with a local broker and getting a lower rate than I was offered by the national mortgage brands. Once all was said and done it turned out that if anything Vic was actually more helpful and more available than his corporate competition, and with cheaper rates. He answered our many questions and patiently helped us understand every step of the home buying process. I'm not sure if local mortgage brokers are always the way to go, but I am sure that going with Vic and Peak Seven Mortgage is the way I would recommend going in the Colorado Springs area.
