Role of the mortgage brokers/Intermediaries

What exactly does a mortgage broker do?

A mortgage broker serves as the middleman between the lender and borrower and is responsible for the process of securing the loan and gathering and compiling the paperwork involved. That includes credit reports, bank statements, and employment history for borrowers purchasing or refinancing a property. A mortgage broker can anticipate problems that might surface during the application process and determine which issues might create difficulties with one lender versus another.

Is it better to go to a mortgage broker?

While deciding whether or not to use a mortgage broker is up to you, working with a mortgage broker can save you time and money.

Therefore, it is essential to look for a broker with the necessary skills and experience who will be able to provide you with the best to suit your requirements.

Are mortgage brokers free?

Like many financial advisers, mortgage brokers get paid a procuration fee. It’s often the lender of the mortgage that pays the broker commission for referring and managing the application and closing the mortgage.

What’s better; mortgage broker or bank?

While the decision depends on you, most of the time, homebuyers who have trouble applying for a mortgage or have complications, often get turned away at big banks that don’t necessarily do specialist underwritings for mortgages. And in such cases, using a mortgage broker may be a good option. Also, remember that the brokers sometimes have exclusive deals from Banks.

On the positive side, it should be kept in mind that using a broker may sometimes allow you access to some of the bank’s exclusive deals.

What is a typical fee for a mortgage?

The fee paid by the borrower usually ranges from 1% to 2% of the total loan amount. It can be paid as a huge amount at closing but is sometimes rolled into the total loan amount or otherwise added into loan fees. However, by adding this fee to the loan amount, a client may pay more in the long run.
