Benefits of using a Strathpine mortgage broker

It all comes down to more choice and the satisfactionthat you found the best home loan available. Most people know that a bank, such as National Australia Bank or Bankwest 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 buyers grant.

What can I expect from my Strathpine mortgage broker?

The mortgage broker’s role is to show you what home finance is available from a panel of lenders including banks and non-banks lenders like Bankwest and ING and then help you choose the right home loan.  Your mortgage broker ca also help get it approved, settled and stay in touch afterwards. A good mortgage broker will also monitor your changing circumstances and the effect of interest rates and economic influences on your financial situation.

What does it cost to see a Strathpine 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.

Can’t I just go directly to my bank?

Most people just simply do not have the time to visit different lenders and search through hundreds of home loan options.  There are so many choices it can all get quite time-consuming very quickly.  A mortgage broker will be able to do a lot of the legwork for you and then talk you through the home loan products that best suit you. A good mortgage broker will offer advice, assistance, answer your questions quickly, and help negotiate a great deal with your chosen lender.

What if I want to re-negotiate my existing mortgage?

If you already have a home loan and are curious as to whether you can get a better deal, you should be talking to your mortgage broker.  They can source and compare various other home loan products to see if there is another loan that would suit you better, taking into account every part of the loan such as fees, charges and added features, not just the interest rate.  It’s not worth changing your home loan for another that has a lower rate if it ends up costing you more in the long run due to fees or ‘hidden’ costs.  Your mortgage broker is experienced in the finer details of home loans and therefore is the best person to be scrutinising your mortgage.
