For many consumers outside the mortgage industry, the terms "mortgage broker (agent)" and "bank specialist" might appear interchangeable, but they carry distinct differences.
As a prospective homeowner, understanding these variances is crucial.
Mortgage Brokers (Agents) are your source for independent advice. These mortage professionals are provincially licensed and regulated; and adhere to all national lending rules/laws/regulations. They are up to date on current market trends and ongoing industry eduction. This independence allows us unique access to rates and mortgage products from a large number of lenders (banks, credit unions, trust companies, monoline/alternative lending as well as private and commercial lending).
Conversely, a bank specialist is employed by a single lender and works to sell that particular institution’s products; they are not required to hold a license.
