You’ve been out looking for homes and starting to narrow down your search, or you are wanting to know what you qualify for before starting your search. With that, now is the time to find the best mortgage for you. One way to get a mortgage is with a mortgage broker in Brockville.
A mortgage broker is the middle person between you and the lenders. They work for you and not the lender and they have many lenders to choose from. Their goal is to find you the best mortgage rates and help you find a mortgage lender. Mortgage brokers are regulated and licensed. They are there to do the work to save you time. They have access to dozens of lenders including banks like TD Canada Trust and Scotiabank, all your shopping around to compare mortgage rates and options is done for you.

Your bank representative works for the bank and not you. To ask them if they have a good mortgage and good rate, is like calling a hotel and asking if they have a good pool and good beds. The answer will always be yes, whether it’s good for you or not.
Also, as the bank representative only has one bank to choose from, your options are very limited. It would be like wanting to go car shopping and only having one car company to choose from.
Fortunately a mortgage broker in Brockville does all the work for you, for free. Just like a real estate agent that helps you find a home is paid by the seller, the broker is paid by the lender. Why not take advantage of someone that will do all the work for you and you don’t have to pay them. If only all things could be that good.
