9 Reasons to use a mortgage broker

better rates

A mortgage broker can shop the best rates and products from 90 different Banks, Credit Unions and Trust Companies including the large banks and other mortgage providers.

Save time

A mortgage broker can shop the market to find the best mortgage products out there. This means that you only need to fill out one application form and the broker will find you the best options.

It's free to you

A mortgage broker gets paid a finder’s fee from the bank. The only time a fee would get charged back to you is if a private lender’s services are required. 

Easy to Book

There’s no need to work around a bank’s business hours.  Some brokers can be available when it’s convenient for you, days, evenings and weekends!

Protection

Applying to multiple vendors can lead to lowering your credit score. A broker only needs to pull your credit score one time and can use that to apply to various lenders.

Choice

Brokers have access to a large range of products, eliminating the need to rely solely on one bank’s suite of products.   

Expertise

Mortgage brokers are certified and can point you towards the best product for you, not just what’s offered at one lending institution.

Unbiased Advice

A mortgage expert works for you  not the lenders and therefore provides unbiased advice focused on your needs.

First Choice

Mortgage experts are quickly becoming the first choice of the educated borrower.

Putting the Pieces Together

Finding the right mortgage product is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together. There are  many choices and resources available to help you decide which is right for you. But a mortgage broker can make sure you’re dealing with the complete picture.
