Battle against the Banks; How you can Fight the Bank and Globalization with your Mortgage
Posted by Top Home Loans in Economy, General Business, Mortgage Advice on August 13, 2010
Manufacturing jobs have, for the most part, disappeared from North American soil. However, service roles have taken up most of those lost jobs that have gone overseas. The problem is that domestic employment grows more expensive year over year. This causes big business to ship service jobs overseas to third world countries. The companies begin dirt cheap call centers in foreign countries. The effect is lost jobs in North America and higher unemployment. How can you fight back against corporations using your mortgage?
The simple fact is that banks will pay more money to mortgage brokers than they would pay internally. The banks may even try to ship business, processing, underwriting, and administration to other countries. The effect on the security of your personal information is questionable. The fact is that banks care about their bottom line over everything else.
That means that, given the opportunity, they would be more willing to send work overseas if they can earn higher revenue. They will do whatever is necessary and within regulations to make their money.
With less jobs in North America, makes more competition for the jobs that are available.
What can I do to protect jobs and the North American economy?
By using a mortgage broker! A mortgage broker operates locally, and the money they make will be fed back into your local economy. It also provides people in your community with jobs whereas if they didn’t have the job, then they may want your job. Mortgage Brokers will also provide you with a relationship. The relationship will allow you to leverage that relationship in the future, so if you need knowledge, advice, a mortgage, or financial help, then they will be able to assist you.
Also, brokers are known to work for the borrowers instead of the bank, so it is more likely that they will be able to get you a better deal than if you were to go directly to the bank. Mostly, they will shop many lenders to find you the best deal. Do yourself and your community a favor and use a Mortgage Broker.

Mortgage Brokers and Real Estate Agents Begin to Move Out of the Market
Posted by Top Home Loans in General Business, Mortgage Advice on June 6, 2010
The mortgage market has been very hot for over the past ten years. House prices have grown dramatically, while household incomes have remained stagnant. It was only a matter of time before the housing bubble ran out of steam.
The Canadian economy recently reported that it had huge growth rates, with some analysts advising that growth rates where in the 6% range; however, must of this job creation was in the housing industry. With many of the new real estate agents and mortgage brokers without any business, they will be left to move on into new roles; however, with increased workforce supply and decreased demand, will the economy dip again?
Hopefully not. The hope is that private employers begin to hire to fill the void that will be left when the housing market declines. However, by removing the ability for people to refinance, it will be only a matter of time before Canada finds itself in a credit crunch. New initiatives must be made to increase household incomes across Canada.
Luckily, house prices are not expected to decline much; however, they are expected to stay consistent over the next several years. Housing, unfortunately, won’t be a good industry of employment for the next several years.

Mortgage Originations; How to find a Lender that Suits you
Posted by Top Home Loans in Mortgage Advice, Mortgage News on May 26, 2010
When looking for a mortgage, most people do not know what they are looking for. A tough decision can be choosing the frequency of payments or choosing either a fixed rate or a variable rate; however, there are sometimes several more difficult decisions that the mortgage broker will make for you.
Sometimes these decisions can make a difference between tens of thousands of dollars. Most people, when shopping for a mortgage, will just visit their local bank, and get their mortgage setup without too much hassle: however, by doing this, you are severely limiting the interest rates, products, underwriting guidelines, and approval rates. With such limits on what you can do, then it would come with quite a large cost.
Fortunately, mortgage brokers have the ability to compare most banks to find out what the best deal would be for you and your family. This is because a broker can choose between rates, products, mortgages and discounting from several banks. In most cases, mortgage brokers want to maintain satisfied customers, so they will find the product that best fits their clients. This can usually net the client thousands of dollars in savings over the client shopping themselves.
All brokers are not alike though, and the best way to find a good mortgage broker is through referral. The more people have positive experiences, then the greater word of mouth. Ask friends and family for referrals. A good broker can save a ton of money for you, so make sure that you do your homework.
