Why First-Time Home Buyers Choose Mortgage Brokers
​
You've likely noticed more people turning to mortgage brokers for their home loans. So, what’s driving this growing trend? There are several reasons; mortgage brokers have access to a wide variety of lenders, giving buyers more options when it comes to mortgage products and terms.
​
Today's consumers are more inclined to shop around for the best deal, rather than just accepting the offer from their bank. Lenders working with brokers often provide discounted rates, which makes it clear that exploring different options can lead to significant savings.
Getting Pre-Approved: The First Step in the Home Buying Process
​
When you're house hunting, having a pre-approval gives you a significant edge. It not only shows you how much you qualify for but also locks in a rate with a lender for up to 120 days - even if rates rise during your search.
​
Additionally, a pre-approval signals to sellers that you're serious and prepared, and it streamlines the process with your lender, so once your offer is accepted, you're ready to move forward quickly.
