Exhibit A
Mortgage Brokers work in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh buyers search for mortgage help in a market built on older housing stock. Much of the city's for sale inventory is pre war brick in neighbourhoods like Squirrel Hill, Brookline and Dormont, and a lot of it needs work that changes how a loan gets structured. That makes searches for renovation loans, FHA 203k questions and first time buyer programs steady across Allegheny County. The firms competing for those searches are a mix of small independent brokers working one or two offices and bank loan officers tied to branch networks. Paid search in the metro is active around rate and refinance terms, which tells you people are comparing options before they call anyone. The demand is there every week of the year, spread across the city and the ring of suburbs around it.
