The value of mortgage brokers

Brokers offer a customer value proposition that entails choice, expertise and convenience. This manifests itself in product and service transparency and often a good customer experience during the home buying journey. This is particularly valued by the customer that place emphasis on face to face interactions that take the hassle out of the process and those who are less confident with the process.

Brokers are more popular than ever

Mortgage brokers are now responsible for writing over half of Australia’s home loans and are valued for their choice, expertise and convenience.

Brokers were also found to be proficient at matching the right product to customer’s needs. In fact, broker initiated home loans go to smaller lenders, demonstrating that brokers offer consumers real choice and have access to a wider range of mortgage products than banks or other financial organisations.

Investors in particular are convinced of the value of using a mortgage broker. 

Lenders are also complimentary of the role of mortgage brokers. Those interviewed for the MFAA study said lenders were moving to a partnership model with brokers, whereby both work together to provide customers with the most appropriate proposition. Great news for customers!
