Why Choose a Mortgage Broker?
Putting You First
If you've seen recent headlines about a certain big bank clashing with brokers, you might be wondering what's really going on. The truth is far from conflict. Our mission at Mountain Mortgages has always been to prioritise you, the borrower. That’s why three out of four borrowers now seek our help.
Navigating the Home Loan Maze
With over 100 lenders in the market, the choices for home loans are vast and varied. But who has the time to sift through them all to find the perfect match for your needs? Your mortgage broker does. For large banks, increased competition can sometimes mean lower profit margins, but that doesn't translate to a war against brokers.
Why Mortgage Brokers are the Preferred Choice
Mortgage brokers are becoming the go-to choice for 74.1% of home buyers, and this number is steadily rising. Here’s why:
1. Working in Your Best Interest
Behind every mortgage broker is a legal obligation known as the Best Interests Duty. This means we are required by law to put your needs first, offering home loan options tailored to your specific situation. This is crucial because a loan that isn’t the right fit might not save you money in the long run, regardless of how attractive the interest rate appears. Unlike banks, brokers are bound by this duty, ensuring your best interests are always at the forefront.
2. Guidance Through the Home Buying Journey
Purchasing a home is one of the most significant financial decisions you'll make, yet it's something you might only do a few times in your life. In contrast, it's a daily task for us. We serve as your trusted guide, helping you navigate the complexities of buying a home with confidence. From assessing your borrowing capacity to offering budget adjustments to become home loan-ready sooner, we're here to simplify the process. We break down the jargon and help you understand complicated issues like lenders’ mortgage insurance or auction preparation.
3. Long-Term Partnership
Your relationship with your home loan will last for years, and we’ll be with you every step of the way. Through regular home loan reviews, we ensure your loan remains the best option for you, adapting to changes in your life. Whether you’re planning renovations, buying a new home, investing in a rental property, or simply refinancing, we’ll provide the guidance you need.
