WHY CHOOSE A MORTGAGE BROKER?
Here are five reasons why you should use a mortgage broker:
1. Lower rates
The most frequent reason people use a mortgage broker is that brokers can access multiple rates and lenders. They have access to the interest rates the banks don’t want you to know about! Mortgage Alliance Professionals send lenders millions of dollars of new business each month, they always offer us the deepest discounts which are passed on to you immediately - whether you are purchasing, refinancing or renewing.
2. Free services
Our services are free and at no cost to you (so long as you approved credit). Mortgage generally operate on commission; they are paid by the lenders who grant you your mortgage. Critics may argue that the cost of the broker is passed onto the borrower from the lender. But even if this is the case, if the interest rates offered through a broker are lower than the competitors - which they often are - you still end up the winner in the end.
3. Customization
A mortgage broker can tailor mortgage products to your specific needs, whether that be finding favourable prepayment terms or working with a more flexible lender for those who are self-employed. Because mortgage brokers tend have access to more lenders, they’re better able to find a mortgage based on your unique needs and financial situation.
4. Experience
Mortgage brokers can identify scenarios that had never crossed your mind and find ways to save you thousands over the duration of your mortgage. Cutting Edge Lending also has more than a dozen mortgage brokers serving Vancouver Island. Some members of team have 15-30 years of experience and many also have a real estate background. This provides a deep pool of experience for finding the right mortgage.
5. Convenience
You work full time, may have a growing family, and still have to remember to feed your pets. How can you find time to head into a bank branch to meet with a mortgage specialist? Our mortgage brokers are available on your terms - day, evening and weekends. They shop the market to save you time.
