Reputation
The best way to find a creditable mortgage broker is by a referral from someone you know and trust. It could be your real estate agent, a family member, your boss or even your best friend. If you know and trust them, then their advise may lead you in the right direction to finding a home loan professional that will get the job done with your best interest in mind.
The best type of broker to use is a company that is solely in the business of sourcing home loans. A mortgage broker or mortgage banker should be your only choice, the difference between the two is not important in determining your success in obtaining a good home loan, but what is important is that these companies have access to a mortgage lender network that provides the most competitive home loan rates and terms in the marketplace.
