Many homebuyers start their search with attractive offers from small, non‑licensed “loan officers.” While the deals may look good upfront, this path is risky—and often expensive. Without proper licensing, there’s no guarantee of adherence to ethical standards, transparent disclosures, or accountability. If anything goes wrong, there are few protections and no regulation.
In contrast, choosing a licensed loan officer like Arlene Dean provides peace of mind and safeguards your investment.
