Pros of working with a mortgage broker

There are a number of reasons why working with Alterna Mortgage is better than working with a bank. We decided to make a list for you!

Drawbacks of working with a bank

• They have conservative loan programs.
• They don’t disclose the yield-spread premium.
• Working with banks is generally a lengthy process and can be very bureaucratic.
• Large banks tend to lose track of the details. You might get false promises.
• They may overcharge you because their commission doesn’t need to be disclosed.
• Sometimes the people you are working with are not educated about the home loan process. In some cases, they’re just general bankers or customer service representatives.
