Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
Taking out a mortgage is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make, yet most people spend more time researching and shopping for their new TV or great pair of shoes than they do their mortgage. For the average person, finding the time to educate themselves on the ins and outs of the mortgage world is far to time consuming; they end up at their local bank branch ready to accept whatever the bank is willing to give. Working with a broker takes the pressure off of you and puts it on us! A mortgage consultant will shop the industry on your behalf to find the best rate and terms for your personal situation. A mortgage consultant takes just one application and one credit bureau. Something that many people don’t realize is that every time a lender does a credit bureau inquiry, it affects your credit rating. When the average consumer seeks a Mortgage they may visit or call multiple lenders in an effort to secure the best rate. Each time one of these lenders pulls a credit bureau on the borrower in an effort to qualify them, the borrowers Beacon score drops. The Beacon score is a system used by the Chartered Banks and Credit Unions to score the credit worthiness of potential borrowers. In some cases, multiple inquiries may actually drop a qualified applicant below the required scoring threshold to qualify for the exact Mortgage that the borrower is simply pursuing the best rate for. A mortgage consultant can be a source of information; and because a mortgage consultant is not affiliated with any one particular lender, we can give you completely unbiased options to choose from.
So why use a broker? Your time is valuable. Brokers have established relationships with all types of lenders. By using a broker you can rest assured that you are getting the best deal possible. At Commonwealth, we pride ourselves in providing British Columbians with the finest mortgage brokerage services available. Our Residential Mortgage Service will ensure you pay the lowest rate and receive the most favorable terms available. All with no fees or hidden charges.
