Access to Multiple Lenders

One of the greatest advantages of using a mortgage broker is getting access to over 50 lenders. Unlike banks that only offer their own products, brokers can offer you more choices from multiple lenders. With this vast product selection, brokers can help you find the best mortgage that meets your specific needs and requirements.

Defining the Best Mortgage

The best mortgage includes a favorable interest rate and flexible payment options, as well as pre-payment privileges and the ability to qualify with no income verification for self-employed individuals. Additionally, the best mortgage lacks restrictions, fees, and penalties, and is portable or assumable to a new property.

Factors Considered by Brokers

When selecting the right lender, your broker will consider the following factors: term, rate (variable vs. fixed), payment flexibility, pre-payment privileges, restrictions, fees, and penalties, mortgage portability or assumability, and qualifying with no income verification (for self-employed individuals). Focusing solely on a low interest rate may result in higher fees and penalties with more restrictive terms, but a mortgage broker will provide a thorough evaluation of product options and help you make the best decision for your specific needs.
