What's the value in using a mortgage broker anyway?

Is it worth paying for a mortgage broker? What if I told you most of the time it doesn't cost you any extra to work with me as your mortgage broker?



Hello there! My name is Emily Miszk and I am a mortgage broker based in Mississauga, Canada. Today, I want to talk to you about the value of using a mortgage broker when purchasing a home. As a mortgage broker with over 15 years of experience in the industry, I have seen firsthand how my clients have benefited from my services.

Firstly, let me ask you this: have you ever spent hours upon hours researching lenders, mortgage products, and terms? Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn? This is where I come in. As a mortgage broker, I work on your behalf to find the best possible mortgage product that suits your unique needs and financial situation. I am your guide through the mortgage process, providing you with the knowledge and support you need to make an informed decision.

One of the biggest advantages of working with a mortgage broker is that I can save you time and effort. You can sit back, relax, and let me do the legwork for you. I have access to a wide range of lenders and mortgage products, many of which you may not even be aware of. By working with me, you can potentially save yourself hours of research and headaches.

Another advantage of using a mortgage broker is that I can often help you find a mortgage product that you might not have been able to find on your own. As a mortgage broker, I have access to unique mortgage products and special rates that you may not be able to access otherwise. This can result in significant savings for you over the life of your mortgage.

In addition, I can help you understand the terms and conditions of your mortgage. I can explain the different types of mortgages available, such as fixed-rate, variable-rate, and adjustable-rate mortgages, and can help you understand the pros and cons of each. I can also help you understand the fees and charges associated with your mortgage, such as origination fees, appraisal fees, and closing costs.


One of the most significant advantages of using a mortgage broker like myself is that I can negotiate better rates and terms on your behalf. With my extensive network of lenders and established relationships, I can often secure lower interest rates and better terms than you would be able to on your own. This can potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.


Now, let's talk about the cost of using a mortgage broker. As a mortgage broker, I do sometimes have to charge a fee for my services. However, in Canada, the fees are usually paid by the lender, not the borrower. This means that you generally won't have to pay me directly. The bank you choose to work with will pay me. If you do require alternative lending the fee for using a mortgage broker can range from 0.5% to 2% of the total mortgage amount. While this may seem like a lot of money, it's important to remember that a mortgage broker like me can potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage. In many cases, the savings from a lower interest rate or better terms can outweigh the cost of using a broker.

It's also important to note that not all mortgage brokers are created equal. When choosing a mortgage broker, it's important to do your research and choose someone who is experienced and reputable. As someone who has been in the industry for over a decade, I have a deep understanding of the mortgage market and the various products and lenders available. I pride myself on being honest, transparent, and client-focused. My goal is to help you find the best possible mortgage product for your unique needs and financial situation.

So is it worth paying for a mortgage broker? As someone who has helped countless clients navigate the mortgage process, I can confidently say that yes, it is worth it. But if you want to know more. Let's book a call today. www.emilycallme.com
