A bank can generally offer only its own mortgage products, while a mortgage broker may have access to several banks, credit unions and other lenders. This gives you a broader range of rates, terms and qualification options to consider. A broker can also help explain the differences between offers so you are not comparing interest rates alone.
A local mortgage broker can help you understand how much you may qualify to borrow, estimate your required down payment, organize supporting documents, compare lenders and submit your application. They can also coordinate with your real estate agent, lawyer and lender as you move toward possession.
For an owner-occupied home priced at $500,000 or less, the federal minimum down payment is generally 5%. From $500,000 to under $1.5 million, the minimum is 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of the portion above it. Homes priced at $1.5 million or more generally require at least 20% down. A lender may require more based on the borrower or property.
Yes. When your down payment is below 20%, mortgage default insurance is typically required. It protects the lender if the borrower cannot repay the mortgage, and its premium can often be added to the mortgage balance.
The right choice depends on your budget, comfort with payment changes and future plans. A fixed rate provides more payment certainty, while a variable rate may rise or fall during the term. A mortgage broker can compare the costs, risks and features of each option based on your situation.
Yes. Before your current term ends, a broker can compare your lender’s renewal offer with options from other lenders. This can help you evaluate the interest rate, prepayment privileges, penalties and other terms instead of automatically signing the first renewal offer you receive.
