Mortgage broker Maribyrnong and my home loan.

A mortgage broker Maribyrnong can help you understand the home loan market.  If you are a first homebuyer, using a mortgage broker can give you a good understanding of which lenders are available and what products may be best for you.  As mortgage brokers usually deal exclusively with mortgages, they will have experience in the market:

You can of course, apply direct to a lender, however you would not be able to consider the full range of options available, instead you would only have access to that lender’s services and products.  Using a mortgage broker offers you more choice and often a greater chance of approval.  A mortgage broker can also assist you all the way through the process, helping you right up until and including settlement.

Your mortgage broker will help you to get the most out of your money.  Whether you are looking to buy your own home, or an investment property, and depending on whether you need a fixed rate, low rate or high rate loan, your mortgage broker can help seek out the best home loan for you.  And when it comes to settlement, your mortgage broker will also be available to help you through the process.

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.

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.
