November 2, 2014
What’s the difference between a Mortgage Broker and a Bank…
… other than the stuffy atmosphere and oversized building?
A bank typically can offer only one set of mortgage products while a mortgage broker can shop from a variety of different guideline’s and loan options.
This results in more loan options to choose from with your local mortgage brokers and normally more competitive rates and fees.
In addition, unlike a bank that offers many different kinds of financial products your local mortgage brokers only focuses on one product… your mortgage. Therefore we can usually provide you a higher level of service and attention.
