I am pretty happy with my current bank

Mortgage brokers are experienced in all types of negotiations and as they deal with mortgages every day, they know what each lender can typically offer.  Your current lender will already have all your details and credit history, so your mortgage broker can talk to your current lender and see if any new home loan options are available that would suit you.  Sometimes changing your mortgage comes with fees and charges, and your mortgage broke will be able to talk you through these to make sure it makes financial sense to renegotiate.  Circumstances change, and from time to time people do need to change the terms on their home loan.  Mortgage brokers understand this and work on your behalf to negotiate a great new home loan for you.
