Finding the right broker

Every broker has a website but it’s doesn’t necessarily mean they offer those services personally.

In fact you will find that many of the websites offering mortgages and loans simply want you to apply so they can sell your details to an expert.
These are called lead generators and they have no expertise other than marketing.
Worse still because they demand a slice of any commission the broker earns, it could cost you more if the broker has to increase fees to cover it.
Comparison websites are lead generators. They focus on marketing and so are often found at the top of google search’s.

Finding a Broker

Because of this finding a genuine broker isn’t so easy.
But when you do, you then need to decide if that broker genuinely has the level of expertise you need. Many cherry pick the simple cases and pass on the rest.

Look at the depth of the content and expertise. Has it just been written to rank high on google or are there videos and guides to help you.
Look at their reviews – do they cover all sectors, including specialist products.
Look to see if they offer their services to other brokers – If other brokers use them, that has to be a good sign.

A website is just an advert but look beyond the colours and images.
Is there real expertise and service behind it with valuable content and videos to help you make informed decisions and understand the breadth of products available.
