 Getting
the Best Mortgage
For most of today’s consumers, “One Stop
Shopping” is a familiar term, but one that is rarely considered when
it comes to financial services, such as a mortgage. In days gone by,
one-stop financial shopping frequently meant convenience to consumers,
but with very limited options. People would deal with just one
financial institution for all their needs -- including their mortgage.
The down side was you were restricted to the features and rates of the
products of that one bank or trust company.
Limiting your choice of mortgage to one
organization can be a very costly mistake. For most Canadians, your
mortgage loan will be the largest and the longest-term debt you will
ever undertake. The small difference in your interest rate can add up
to thousands of dollars over the course of many years. For example, on
a mortgage loan of $100,000 amortized over 25 years, a difference of
only a quarter percent could easily cost you over $5,000.
Remember, the loan rate is just part of the
picture. Many financial institutions offer other attractive terms and
special incentives. These also have value, and you need a professional
to help you determine what you can afford
and make the choice that’s right for you.
The importance of shopping around for the best
mortgage is evident. However, today’s consumer is time-impoverished.
It’s often difficult to devote the kind of time this process
deserves. Searches for competitive rates are often limited to
contacting two or three banks.

estate market is I have work with a number of
