5 benefits of using an ALI authorised mortgage broker
It’s important to remember that there’s a lot of information to take in when it comes to finding the right home loan to suit your unique circumstances.
Thankfully, a skilled mortgage broker can help to alleviate more of the complex and burdensome tasks associated with finding a new home loan.
We’ve listed some benefits of using the services of a great mortgage broker.
You can talk to a mortgage broker at a time that suits you
Many mortgage brokers are often prepared to speak with their clients at a time that’s best for them. So, if you’re only free on evenings or weekends, see if your broker of choice is prepared to set up a meeting when it’s most convenient for you.
A broker can do the market research for you
Whatever your goals may be, doing your due diligence is an essential part of the home loan process. With an experienced mortgage broker at your side, you can rest assured knowing that all the aspects of the market research phase will be carried out to a professional standard.
Applications and paperwork are taken care for you
Whether you’re buying your first home or refinancing your existing mortgage, completing the application forms, and collating all the required supporting information and documents can be overwhelming. Mortgage brokers can take care of the hard work for you at each stage of the process, from your application right through to settlement, including sourcing pre-approval (if required), and investigating government grants, while keeping you regularly updated.
Brokers know the market and which lender is likely to favourably consider your application
Being turned down for a home loan by a lender can tarnish your credit history, which may affect your potential for approval if you apply again in the future. Thankfully, mortgage brokers have the expertise and specialist software required to navigate the home loan market and understand lenders’ appetites for approving loans. This translates to applying for home loans that offer you the best chances for approval.
Brokers can help you prepare for the unexpected
