Pros:
- mortgage brokers are experts in the field, so they can help you make the best decision for your situation.
- mortgage brokers help you find the best deals and rates, which saves you time and money.
- mortgage brokers don't provide any financial advice. You'll still need to work with a financial advisor to get advice on how much house you can afford and what kind of mortgage is right for you.
The pros of using a mortgage broker are convenience and access to a wider range of lenders. The cons are that you may be charged a higher interest rate and you may not get the best deal.
When choosing a mortgage broker, it's important to compare rates and fees, and to read reviews from past clients. It's also important to be clear about what you want from a mortgage broker - do you need someone who can help you find the best deal, or someone who can walk you through the process step by step?
Whatever route you choose, it's always important to shop around and compare rates.
