How can a Punchbowl mortgage broker help me?

You can save yourself a great amount of time, effort and frustration by using a Punchbowl mortgage broker. Trying to decide what type of home loan, and which lender to choose, is a big decision as a mortgage is usually a lot of money.  A mortgage broker can help sort through the loans available, such as line of credit loans and ,fixed rate home loans, and find one that will match with your circumstances and financial goals.  When it comes to getting approval, having an experienced broker on your side will work in your favour.  A mortgage broker can track your application, chase up any extra paperwork needed by the lender, as well or organize settlement on your behalf. 

Your mortgage broker will want to find you the best home loan possible from a range of options such as renovation home loans or fixed rate home loans.  This means they need to look at your income, your expenses, any other debts or assets you have, and then look at the mortgages that will suit you.  Of course you want a mortgage that will be manageable and affordable, so they will only suggest loans that fit in with you.  Once you have chosen what type of home loan you want, your borker can apply for approval on your behalf, keep on top of the progress, close the deal quickly, and sort out all necessary documents.  They can even organize settlement so you can enjoy your new home faster.

Good mortgage brokers will not charge you for their services, and certainly most initial consultations should be free.  We can assist you with finding a loan, getting approval, and settlement, without charging you at all.  We are paid a commission by the lender which is fully disclosed to you, and regardless of what commissions the lenders are offering, we are not influenced, instead we work to find the right loan for you.

 It’s basically about more choices and an unbiased approach.  Mortgage brokers act independently therefore they can look at each home loan objectively.  Going direct to the lender limits your options as they will usually only push their own home loan products.  A mortgage broker can give you more assistance in your decision making and can also help you negotiate with your chosen lender, which gives you a better chance of securing approval than if you went directly yourself.

If you already have a home loan and want to see if you can get a better deal, a mortgage broker can help you weigh up the options.  If you want to refinance, or change the terms of your loan due to your personal circumstances changing, or simply because you think you can get a better mortgage, talking to your existing lender makes sense.  They will already know your credit history, and have all your details.  Some people find negotiating their mortgage stressful and are worried they wont be confident enough.  A mortgage broker can negotiate on your behalf so you can get a better deal with your current lender.
