Frequently Asked Questions

Do mortgage brokers actually get better rates?

Often, yes. Brokers have access to rates from multiple lenders, including some not available directly to consumers, and can compare them to find competitive options for your situation.

Will talking to a mortgage broker hurt my credit score?

No. Speaking with a mortgage broker and reviewing options does not impact your credit. A credit check is only completed if you choose to proceed with a pre-approval or application.

Is it better to go to a bank or use a mortgage broker?

A bank can only offer its own products, while a broker compares multiple lenders. Many borrowers choose brokers for broader choice, unbiased advice, and help navigating lender differences.

What matters more, the interest rate or the mortgage terms?

Both are important, but terms often matter more long term. A broker helps evaluate penalties, flexibility, and features alongside the rate to reduce future costs and risks.

Can a mortgage broker help if I’m self-employed?

Yes. Brokers regularly work with lenders that specialize in self-employed and non-traditional income, helping structure applications that reflect true earning ability.

Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage rate?

It depends on comfort level, cash flow, and long-term plans. A broker explains the pros and cons of each option so the decision is based on strategy, not guesswork.

Can I break my mortgage early if I need to?

Yes, but penalties can vary significantly between lenders. A broker helps explain these differences upfront so you avoid unnecessary costs later.

When is the best time to talk to a mortgage broker?

As early as possible. Speaking with a broker before buying, refinancing, or renewing helps set expectations, uncover options, and avoid surprises.
