It can get confusing understanding the difference between a mortgage specialist and mortgage broker and deciding who to work with for the purchase of your future home.
A mortgage broker works independently and is able to have access to several institutions and their rates. This allows a home buyer to have many options when selecting a mortgage that fits their needs.
A mortgage specialist works under one institution and offers their clients mortgage options from their organization. There is less paperwork involved as the transactions take place within the company.
