What's the difference between getting a mortgage through your bank and working with a mortgage broker?
When you go directly to a bank, you're generally choosing from that bank's own mortgage products and must meet its lending criteria.
A mortgage broker can work with a broader network of lenders, including banks, credit unions, trust companies, insurance companies, finance companies, and private lenders. This can give you more options to consider when looking for a mortgage that fits your needs.
In this reel, Nick da Silva explains how the two approaches differ and why having access to multiple lenders can be valuable.
