Ever wonder why your mortgage payment sometimes goes to a different company than the one that approved your loan? In this week’s Two-Minute Tuesday, I break down the difference between a mortgage lender and a mortgage servicer in plain English. Understanding these roles can save you confusion and help you navigate your homebuying journey with confidence.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
What a mortgage lender does and why they’re responsible for your loan approval
What a mortgage servicer does, from collecting payments to managing escrow
Why your loan might get “sold” or transferred and what that means for you
How knowing the difference can make you a more informed homebuyer

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or just curious about how mortgages really work, this video gives a clear, practical explanation so you can make smarter decisions and avoid surprises!
