How can a mortgage broker help me?
Using a mortgage broker gives you more options. Through the mortgage broker you will have access to many different lenders and hundreds of products. If you applied for a loan directly with a lender, you would be limited to only their products and services. Often a mortgage broker can visit you in your own home, sometimes out of office hours, therefore saving you time and giving you more flexibility.
What is the mortgage broker’s role?
Your mortgage broker works for you to get the best deal for your situation. They are highly skilled in the home loan market and have access to many different lenders and products. Whether you are interested in a fixed rate, low interest or high interest rate mortgage, your mortgage broker will be able to help you select the right match. Your mortgage broker will also be able to help you with the paperwork and settlement process.
What will I pay for a mortgage broker?
Mortgage brokers work on a ‘contingency basis’ and are paid by the lender when the settlement is completed. You pay nothing to the mortgage broker for their services. Regardless of what the lender pays the broker, you will not pay a higher interest on your home loan.
Can I use a mortgage broker to negotiate with my existing lender?
Yes, using a mortgage broker when negotiating with your current lender has many advantages. Firstly, if you are not comfortable negotiating yourself then your mortgage broker will be able to negotiate on your behalf, armed with their experience and knowledge of the home loan market. Secondly, the lender will know that the mortgage broker is working to get you the best deal and this can be a big advantage.
