How can a mortgage broker help me?

You can of course, apply direct to a lender, however you would not be able to consider the full range of options available, instead you would only have access to that lender’s services and products.  Using a mortgage broker offers you more choice and often a greater chance of approval.  A mortgage broker can also assist you all the way through the process, helping you right up until and including settlement.

What will my mortgage broker actually do for me?

Your mortgage broker will help you to get the most out of your money.  Whether you are looking to buy your own home, or an investment property, and depending on whether you need a fixed rate, low rate or high rate loan, your mortgage broker can help seek out the best home loan for you.  And when it comes to settlement, your mortgage broker will also be available to help you through the process.

How much will a mortgage broker set me back?

You do not pay the mortgage broker for their services. Instead, the mortgage broker is paid by the lender once the home loan settles.  The interest that you pay on the home loan is usually the same as if you had gone to the lender directly.  How much the lender pays the broker does not affect the cost of your home loan.

Can I use a mortgage broker to negotiate with my existing lender?

Yes, using a mortgage broker when negotiating with your current lender has many advantages.  Firstly, if you are not comfortable negotiating yourself then your mortgage broker will be able to negotiate on your behalf, armed with their experience and knowledge of the home loan market.  Secondly, the lender will know that the mortgage broker is working to get you the best deal and this can be a big advantage.
