(Newswire.net — September 4, 2014) Surrey, BC — “For people who are inexperienced with negotiating, who aren’t sure what the best mortgage product is for them or have a less-than-stellar credit rating, they can save time, money and hassle by using a mortgage broker”- The Globe and Mail

There is No Cost to the Client

Mortgage brokers are paid by the lender, not their client. This means there are no out- of- pocket expenses for using their services. The only exception to this is the possibility of paying legal or appraisal fees; however, sometimes lenders may pay these fees as well. Inquire about these costs when you speak with your mortgage professional.

They Get the Best Rates

Mortgage brokers shop around and negotiate rates for you so they can present the lowest market rates available. Because they have access to a variety of lenders and purchase a high volume of mortgage products, they are able to pass on volume discounts to their clients. And since they compare rates for you, they save you valuable time that you would spent inquiring with different institutions yourself.

Personalized Service
