I already have a good relationship with my bank.  Why use a mortgage broker?

If you have a happy relationship with your bank already then that is very useful.  However, you will be restricted to the products and services offered by one lender.  Using a mortgage broker allows you to consider a range of lenders and gives you the chance to find a better deal.  Considering your own personal financial situation and needs, if you only apply to one lender you may not be as lucky as to get the right match.

What does a mortgage broker actually do?

The main responsibilities of your mortgage broker are to offer you a range of options and then help you to get the best deal that is right for you.   They will look at your financial situation, what your long term and short term property goals may be and then help you select the correct match of home loan.  Your mortgage broker will also be able to guide you through the settlement process.

Why doesn’t my mortgage broker charge me for their services?

Mortgage brokers work on a ‘contingency basis’ and are paid by the lender when the settlement is completed.  You pay nothing to the mortgage broker for their services.  Regardless of what the lender pays the broker, you will not pay a higher interest on your home loan.

Will a mortgage broker be able to help me negotiate with my current lender?

Your mortgage broker will have experience in the market and be armed with a vast knowledge.  The lender will know that it is the role of your mortgage broker to work to get you the best rate possible.  This can be very useful when negotiating a better deal, even with your current lender.
