Why talk to a Fortitude Valley mortgage broker?

It all comes down to more choice and the peace of mindthat you found the best home loan available. Most people know that a bank, such as National Australia Bank or St George Bank is going to tell you all about the loans that they offer, and they aren't going to tell you about a better loan from another lender.  Compare that to a mortgage broker who knows exactly what each bank is offering, and talks to non-bank lenders too, comparing each home loan product carefully to see which ones really are the best choice for you.  This saves you valuable time, as your broker does the hard work for you, leaving you more time to find your dream home. Especially when considering first home grant.

What can I expect from my Fortitude Valley mortgage broker?

Mortgage brokers do more than just choose you a mortgage.  Your independent mortgage broker is able to help you in putting together a home loan application, chase up the lender to seek approval and organize settlement.  Any mortgage broker worth their salt will basically do all the hard work and tedious parts for you, such as comparing home loans, organizing the correct documentation and sourcing great rates.  Once you find a professional, accredited mortgage broker, you will be able to save yourself time and money on your mortgage.

What do Fortitude Valley mortgage brokers charge for their service?

The services of a independent mortgage broker are free.   Instead, brokers get paid commissions by the lenders.  The amount you pay for your mortgage does not change, no matter what the commissions are.  You pay the same as if you had gone directly to the lender yourself.  And reputable mortgage brokers are not influenced by the commissions offered by a lender, instead they work to offer you unbiased advice.

How is a mortgage broker different to the lenders?

If you go directly to the lender they will only promote their own products giving you less choice.   Mortgage brokers have access to a greater range of lenders and products for consideration.  Good mortgage brokers can also assist in the application step and negotiate a better deal with the lender on your behalf.  So whether you are buying your first home, or looking to invest in a second property, or simply looking to release some of the equity in your existing home, a mortgage broker can be your best chance of getting a great deal.

Can a mortgage broker help me with my current lender?

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.
