Why use a Elizabeth Grove mortgage broker?

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 Westpac 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.
 

What can I expect from my Elizabeth Grove mortgage broker?

Put simply, a mortgage broker works to find you a mortgage 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 Elizabeth Grove 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.

Broker or Lender?

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.

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.
