SOME DRAWB ACKS OF NOT SECURING A LOAN THROUGH A MORTGAGE BROKER • Not having a mortgage broker can cost you a lot because they have their own resources and contacts that enable them to find the best deals in the marketplace. You may not be able to attain the same deals on your own because so many such deals are accessible only to experienced mortgage brokers. You have to understand that mortgage market is constantly changing and shifting and only an experienced broker can foresee and identify the best deals for you to secure a home loan at the most reasonable interest rates. Unless you have a personal relationship with a lender, you will never be able to negotiate the best rate. Even if the rate looks reasonably good it will be difficult to match the mortgage broker can help you get. • If you have some experience negotiating with lenders, you may, by all means, go ahead and look for a loan on your own. However, someone with little to no experience should never underestimate the importance of working with a mortgage broker. No matter how proactive you are, you will not be able to deal with the intricacies of the marketplace, and that is where a broker comes in handy. It may cost you some money – though some may be willing to offer their service free of charge – it is certainly worth the hard work.
