FACEOFF: Bank vs. Broker
We’re in hockey playoffs, so let’s talk about the faceoff: bank versus broker. The fact is, there’s no contest on this one. The broker wins the faceoff every time. That’s a heck of a game advantage. But let’s talk about why it happens: because it’s worth reminding ourselves why the smart money is always on the broker.

| Mortgage Choice | Over 50 lenders, including most of the major banks, credit unions, and national, regional and private lenders. | Every bank has its own menu of house mortgage products. |
| Mortgage Rates | Mortgage brokerages negotiate discounted rates with lenders, and have access to rate promotions and specials. | Rates are set by the Bank. If there’s a better deal in the marketplace, you’ll have to find it yourself. |
| Independence Objectivity |
A mortgage broker works for you, not any one lender. | Naturally, mortgage specialists are there to build business for the bank. |
| Ongoing Service | Brokers offer ongoing advice and conduct annual mortgage reviews, showing you how to pay off your mortgage faster, power down debt, finance renovations, or invest in property. | No proactive advice is typically provided. You will get an annual mortgage statement. |
| At Renewal | Your broker will go to bat for you again – to make sure you have the best product and rate. | You may not be offered the best deal initially, requiring you to proactively contact the bank to negotiate. |
