There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada: From a bank or from a licensed mortgage professional.
While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada's largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.
Whether you're purchasing a home for the first time, taking out equity from your home for investment or pleasure, or your current mortgage is simply up for renewal, it's important that you are making an educated buying decision with professional unbiased advice.
As a mortgage broker, I'm often asked about the benefits of working with a broker when obtaining a mortgage. Here are a few of the advantages that come with using a mortgage broker:
-
Access to a Wide Range of Lenders: While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada's largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.
-
Expertise and Knowledge: Mortgage brokers are experts in their field. They can help you navigate the complex world of mortgages and explain the different types of mortgages that are available to you. They can also provide you with valuable advice on things like interest rates, loan terms, and down payments.
-
Time Savings: Finding the right mortgage can be a time-consuming process. When you work with a mortgage broker, you can save time by having someone else do the research for you. Brokers can help you find a mortgage that meets your needs and fits within your budget.
-
Cost Savings: Working with a mortgage broker can also save you money. Because brokers have relationships with multiple lenders, they can often negotiate better rates and terms on your behalf. Additionally, brokers can help you avoid costly mistakes that could end up costing you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.
Overall, working with a mortgage broker can be a smart choice for anyone who is looking to obtain a mortgage. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of using a mortgage broker, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
