What’s the biggest misconception people have about mortgage brokers?

“Perhaps that we work on behalf of the lender and not the client. A mortgage broker’s role is to work with their client and provide them the best advice possible, the lender is a tool within a broker’s arsenal to obtain the best result possible for their client.”

What’s one thing about you that people might be surprised to learn about you?

What’s the biggest misconception people have about mortgage brokers?

“One of the biggest misconceptions people have about mortgage advisors / property investment advisers is that they only work with wealthy clients or those with perfect credit scores. In reality, mortgage advisors can work with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, self-employed individuals, and those with less-than-perfect credit.It is also important that relationships are built to ensure the journey is enjoyable.”
