Homeownership Steps

There are many steps to homeownership before getting the keys to a new home, and the biggest challenge these days is getting approved. Typically, most buyers would visit their local bank however in today’s changing environment, mortgage brokers have more options to help secure a mortgage. Let’s look at why home buyers are visiting brokers instead of a bank.

More Lenders Options

As the cost of homeownership continues to rise, buyers are looking for ways to save money and be approved to buy the home of their dreams. Bank representatives can only offer their clients the rates and services offered by their company. On the other hand, mortgage brokers do not work for any one lender and have over 30 options to help secure a mortgage. Having more options to secure financing gives you the buyer a better chance of approval.

Greater Knowledge of the Industry

Banks provide many different services to clients such as loans, credit cards, investments, and mortgages, and while knowledgeable, their expertise is limited to their banks’ services, policies, and loan structures.

Brokers specialize in just mortgages, we have superior knowledge of the industry as a whole. Having the knowledge of many lenders’ offerings, policies and structures help offer more mortgage products to assist in achieving a mortgage approval for a client.

A Mortgage Broker Works for You

A bank primarily works for itself, not its customers. The services are based on the institution’s gains, not the clients. This is why banks continually report billions in profit each quarter.

Mortgage brokers work for their client’s best interests. A broker will look at your short-term and long-term goals, then help find a suitable mortgage. We will go through all the pros and cons of each agency and answer any questions, so you have a clear understanding of the mortgage and the lender.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make and struggling to find the right lender can add unnecessary stress. Whether you are purchasing, looking to refinance, using a mortgage broker can relieve the stress and make the experience a pleasant one.
