Some brokers have access to bank wholesale rates that the public can not get if they went to the bank directly.

But you typically have to put down 20% to get these types of rates.

Yes but they have to get paid somehow. JMO but I would cut out the middle man if you can.

Brokers get paid yes, but if they sell many loans for the bank the bank will give them a discount on the interest rate. It's like buying a product in bulk.

In my experience I have had different brokers during different periods of mortgage shopping beat the interest rates for Chase and Bank Of America. The fee I paid the broker was far less than what I would have paid in points if I went to the bank directly.

And like I said *some* brokers will do this. Many won't. You have to shop around. Bankrate.com is a great source of mortgage brokers.
