Brokers search for the best lender package to suit your specific financial situation, whether it’s with a Chartered Bank, Trust or Insurance Company. There is a wide variety of options and features available to homebuyers today. To find the best offer takes a lot of time and effort. The mortgage process within today’s very competitive marketplace makes many Canadian homebuyers puzzled. It truly pays to work with a mortgage professional that will represent you and ensure the mortgage you get is the one best tailored to your needs.
NOTE: Choosing the wrong mortgage can cost you thousands of unnecessary paid interest money.
Why Should You Go To a Mortgage Broker First?
A professional presentation to a lender on the first application will get the best response and save you valuable time and money. Secondary applications with previous credit bureau inquiries may be more costly.
Often the success of obtaining mortgage approval depends on the way a proposal is presented and to whom it is sent. Your Mortgage Broker is trained to present your mortgage proposal to obtain the most immediate and positive result.
Example: You don’t call an insurance company for insurance - you use an insurance broker, because of their expertise, product knowledge and rates. So remember, call your mortgage broker first!
How Do Brokers Get Better Deals Than Many Banks?
Brokers often develop professional relationships with private sources of funds, termed private lenders. These lenders can provide many various mortgage products not available at conventional sources.
Can You Still Go Through Your Bank With Your Broker?
Yes, letting a Mortgage Broker represent you to your own financial institution can often result in a better rate than you could get on your own.
