Why use a Hawthorne mortgage broker?

When arranging a mortgage without coreadvice, many people are so eager and they may take shortcuts and fail to fully understand the contract they are signing.  This can result in not knowing whether they are getting value for money. Often they are disappointed when their home loan doesn’t give them what they wanted, or they are caught out by hidden fees.  Using a mortgage broker gives you the peace of mind that the home loan you choose will work and can provide advice and assistance to make sure you are properly protected.  Especially when considering first home buyer.

 What is a Hawthorne mortgage brokers’ role?

Mortgage brokers are not there to only find you a mortgage but also work with borrowers to assist with documentation to support the loan, help with the completion of paperwork, submit the loan application with the lender you choose and follow up with the lender during the loan application process.  Your broker should keep you informed throughout the entire loan process, and explain anything that is unclear.  A great independent mortgage broker will remain with you throughout the loan to offer you assistance. 

Will it cost me anything to talk to a Hawthorne mortgage broker?

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.

Do I need a mortgage broker? 

Going direct to a lender may appear easier, but without the proper advice and knowledge, going direct may well turn out to be an extremely expensive exercise. Because mortgage brokers deal with a range of lenders, they have access to a range of different policies. Brokers will be aware of the benefits, exclusions and costs of competing policies on the market. They will also help arrange the application and settlement.

Can you help me with my current lender?

Many borrowers consider re-negotiating their current mortgage, either when a fixed loan term ends, or simply as a way or unlocking some of the equity in their home.  These negotiations can be daunting to some people, even if you usually have a good relationship with your lender.  A mortgage broker can negotiate on your behalf and help you to get the best deal possible.  Getting a good mortgage is easy if you have someone who understands the market, so talking to a mortgage broker who deals with mortgages every day, makes sense.
