How x inc Mortgage Brokers Work
How does a Mortgage Broker work and how do they get paid?
A mortgage broker offers loans from a panel of financial institutions, including banks and non-banks. In Australia now, there are literally thousands of home loan products with many, many more options than was traditionally available in the past. In simple terms, brokers evaluate your situation against the 20 or 30 lenders on their panel for the best deal. X Inc mortgage brokers use their relationships with our lender panel to negotiate great deals as well as assist you in key areas such as selecting the right home loan and structuring it most effectively. When you decide on which lender you want to work with, it is the lender who pays our mortgage broker.
How can a mortgage broker not charge for their service?
Banks and lenders work with mortgage brokers because they effectively give the lender a bigger “shop front” without carrying a traditional employee or “bricks and mortar” overhead. When you decide which lender you want to work with, that lender pays the broker fees or commissions for your business. Just as if you were dealing directly with a bank manager or lender yourself, these fees do not change the interest rate you pay on your home loan.

Specialised Software
The sheer amount of lenders in the market, coupled with the enormous numbers of products on offer, means that most good brokers use specialised software to access and keep up to date with the entire range of loans on offer from their lenders.
