While some mortgage brokers in Brisbane will charge customers a fee for their services (something they are required to disclose to you upfront), the majority won’t charge you anything at all. Instead, they’ll receive a commission from whichever lender you obtain the loan through. Because of this, some borrowers worry they’ll be charged more by the lender when they use a mortgage broker. But the reality is, a reputable broker will usually be able to get you a better deal than what you’d achieve by approaching the lender directly (due to the volume of business they create for the lender).
