Other than rates, why should I use a Mortgage Broker?
In addition to rates, because mortgage-based financing is the mortgage broker's primary business, he or she has developed expertise in what type of mortgage financing each lender prefers to pursue. This kind of knowledge not only results in the most favourable rates for each project, but often whether a project is funded at all. From first contact to closing, a skilled mortgage broker can have you funded from the comfort of your own home while ensuring you gain access to the best mortgage products on the market.
How do Mortgage Brokers find superior rates?
Interest rates are a concern to borrowers. Because of their daily contact with lenders, brokers know which project or home attracts a favorable interest rate from one institution, but a higher rate at another. Some institutions, in fact, will only accept mortgage submissions from mortgage brokers.
These rates, and preferences for types of mortgages, can change daily, depending on economic circumstances or based on the size of an institution's portfolio in a particular type of mortgage. Your Mortgage Broker keeps current and knows which lender to approach first. As a result, mortgage rates obtained by Brokers are among the best available at the time of placement.
Why should I go to a Mortgage Broker first?
A professional presentation to a lender on the first application will get the best response and save you valuable time and money. Secondary applications with previous credit bureau inquiries may be more costly.
Often the success of obtaining mortgage approval depends on the way a proposal is presented and to whom it is sent. Your Mortgage Broker is trained to present your mortgage proposal where and how it will get the most immediate, positive result.
You don't call an insurance company for insurance - you use an insurance broker, because of their expertise, product knowledge, and rates. So remember, call your mortgage broker first!
How do Brokers get better deals than many Banks?
The lenders who work with mortgage brokers include traditional sources like major banks, or trust companies, as well as corporate and private pension funds.
The difference between banks and mortgage brokers is that banks can only offer their own products, while mortgage brokers can present multiple mortgage options. Independent mortgage brokerages have licensed mortgage agents and brokers who have access to many lenders and industry-leading rates. They will always negotiate the lowest rate for you, and because they secure large amounts of mortgage products, mortgage brokers can pass volume bonuses and discounts on to their clients. Banks are only able to offer biased advice and offer their own services.
In addition to the facts mentioned above, mortgage brokers often develop professional relationships with private sources of funds, termed private lenders. These lenders can provide many various mortgages not available from conventional sources.
