How do I compare mortgage brokers?
A good mortgage broker should be a qualified professional who guides you through the process of selecting an appropriate mortgage and completing the application process. To make sure your broker is reliable, do the following:
- Look at their accreditation. Check that your broker has an Australian Credit License or is an Australian Credit Representative. They should also be a member of either the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) or the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA).
- Ask about their lending panel. Brokers cannot compare loans from all lenders, but most will have a large range. Ask about the broker's panel to check that they offer mortgages from many different lenders.
- Do your homework. The broker should do the hard work for you. But the more you know about the mortgage industry the easier it is to know when you're broker is really doing their best to help you.
- Research the broker. Chances are your broker has an online presence and previous customers who have left reviews of their experience. This can be valuable information when shopping around for a broker.

How do mortgage brokers get paid?
Brokers are paid via an initial commission when you are approved for a home loan, as well as a trailing commission each year. The amount is calculated as a percentage, based on the amount you borrow and the balance of the loan still owing on an ongoing basis.
These commissions are paid by the lender, not by you – so the cost to use a mortgage broker for you is free.
How does a mortgage broker work?
A mortgage broker has a duty of care to help you find a loan that is suitable for your financial needs. After assessing your financial situation and how much you can reasonably afford to borrow, a broker will present you with a selection of suitable loans from their panel of lenders.

When you are ready, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the lender’s website where you can proceed with the application or get in touch with their representatives for further inquiries you may have.
Alternatively, you can speak to a mortgage broker who can take your personal circumstance into account and offer you a range of borrowing options.
