Good mortgage brokers will not charge you for their services, and certainly most initial consultations should be free. We can assist you with finding a loan, getting approval, and settlement, without charging you at all. We are paid a commission by the lender which is fully disclosed to you, and regardless of what commissions the lenders are offering, we are not influenced, instead we work to find the right loan for you.
Broker or Lender?
Mortgage brokers act independently from any lender, and use a range of lenders ranging from the big banks, and non –bank lenders, when considering home loans that will suit you. Lenders tend to only push their own products, and these may not always be the best option for your circumstances.
I am pretty happy with my current bank

They will already know your credit history, and have all your details. Some people find negotiating their mortgage stressful and are worried they wont be confident enough. A mortgage broker can negotiate on your behalf so you can get a better deal with your current lender.
