How can a New Farm mortgage broker help me?

One of the big advantages of using a mortgage broker is more choice for you.  Mortgage brokers work with a panel of lenders, such as National Australia Bank and CBA are aware of what each lender is offering. Mortgage broker professionals save you having to do a lot of running around from bank to bank trying to find yourself a home loan, and can make the whole process a lot more efficient for you, meaning that you can get a great home loan as soon as you need it.  Especially when considering first home buyers.
 

The role of a New Farm mortgage broker

Put simply, a mortgage broker works to find you a home loan that will be competitive, yet still suit your life.  A mortgage broker knows the lowest interest rates, which loans offer the best features and knows some great tactics for paying off your home loan faster.   It is their job to identify home loans every day, to keep on top of changes in the market and offer you the best chance of getting a great mortgage.

Will it cost me anything to talk to a New Farm mortgage broker?

The service provided by most brokers is generally free to borrowers, as the broker is paid by way of commissions and fees from the lenders. This allows people to have access to a professional mortgage broker without having to pay the broker for the services they provide. Regardless of what commission the broker is paid, you will not pay more on your home loan.  However, a professional and honest broker should always declare their commission to borrower.

Can’t I just go directly to my bank?

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.

I am pretty happy with my current bank

A home loan broker can negotiate on your behalf should you wish to identify a better deal with your existing lender.  Home loan products are changing all the time, so there is always something new to consider.  And as life changes and your circumstances may differ, a mortgage broker can help you to decide what course to take.
