Starting Smart: Savvy first-time home buyers are going to brokers
You’ve got to hand it to this younger generation. They’re internet-savvy, they do their homework, they ask questions, they look for choices… and they’re not inclined to let anyone “own” them or their business. According to the 2014 Mortgage Consumer Study conducted by the Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation (CMHC), more Canadians are working with mortgage brokers than ever before. But first-time homebuyers top the charts: 48% of first-time mortgages now originate with a broker.
Why are they choosing the professional mortgage route? You could start with choice, price, information, and education. I provide solutions from a huge range of mortgage options from a broad spectrum of lenders, including most of the major banks! Not a first-time buyer? No problem. It’s never too late to “start smart” on your financial future!
