What will my Hunter Valley mortgage broker do for me?

Your mortgage broker will want to find you the best home loan possible.  This means they need to look at your income, your expenses, any other debts or assets you have, and then look at the Mortgages that will suit you.  It may be that you want to look at first home buyers loans or professional home loans. Of course you want a mortgage that will be manageable and affordable, so a mortgage broker will only suggest loans that fit in with you.  Once you have chosen what type of home loan you want, a mortgage broker can apply for approval on your behalf, keep on top of the progress, close the deal quickly, and sort out all necessary documents.  They can even organize settlement so you can enjoy your new home faster.

Why don’t Hunter Valley mortgage brokers charge for their services?

The services of a mortgage broker are usually free, instead brokers are paid a commission by the lenders.  The rate on your home loan is still the same regardless of the commissions paid to the broker so you can be sure you will not pay more on your home loan.  This means that you can get assistance with your home loan application, whilst still be confident that you are getting a competitive home loan.

How is a mortgage broker different to the lenders?

Wouldn’t you rather spend your lunch breaks actually eating?  Do you have weekends free to spend glued to the internet comparing prices, or out visiting dozens of lenders?  By using a mortgage broker you save yourself having to call, visit and compare dozens of lenders and their products.  A good mortgage broker will listen to your financial goals, consider dozens of home loan products then find the best matches for you.

I am pretty happy with my current bank

If you have a good relationship with your current lender then you are very lucky.  This means you are probably already getting a good deal.  But new products come onto the market constantly, such as variable rate home loans and 100% offset home loans meaning it is worth checking them out occasionally to see if they could work for you.  A mortgage broker is always assessing many new home loans that become available, and is the ideal person to talk you through the options.  Things happen in life, and your circumstances may change, meaning that you need to adjust the terms of your loan from time to time.  A mortgage broker can help you make decisions no matter what your financial needs are.
