What Customers Say About Working With Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro

Frequently Asked Questions

Banks sell you their own products at their own margins. Independent brokers like Duane Buziak shop dozens of wholesale lenders simultaneously — accessing pricing that isn't available to retail borrowers or bank loan officers. Wholesale pricing is structurally lower than retail on comparable loan products.

As an independent broker I submit your scenario to multiple wholesale lenders and let them compete for your loan. You get the best available rate across the market rather than whatever one institution decides to offer. I also have a Dare to Compare guarantee — bring any competing offer and I'll beat it or explain exactly why I can't.

On FHA, VA, and USDA loans — yes. I can wrap all closing costs into your rate so you come to closing with zero out of pocket. I also refer realtors to negotiate seller-paid closing costs first. If that fails, I handle it through the rate on government-backed loans.

A soft pull pre-approval that shows you your full buying power — monthly payment analysis, closing cost breakdown, debt-to-income ratio — without a hard inquiry. Your credit score is not affected. Zero risk, real answers.
