what Col Kurtz didn't mention is that when you pay retail to a direct lender you end up with a higher rate and the lender gets more on the back end then a broker would, it's called SRP or service release premium.
Here's another little fact/difference.
The brokers yield spread premium has to be disclosed on the HUD1 settlement statement but the bank does not have to disclose their premium.
