Of course if you have any questions about the mortgage, be sure to ask the broker and get a clear understanding. They are there to inform and help you.
4. Don't do the Paperwork on your Own
The paperwork for a can be messy, and you might get a little confused. Allow the broker to do his or her job. They know the paperwork and what is needed to complete it. They have a much better chance of getting the information right, so let them do it or help you. However, never let the paperwork go unrevised by you. Make sure all paperwork is correct and read every word before you sign!
5. Follow Up
Mortgage brokers can get busy and have many people to attend to. You can help by staying in contact with them and follow up as needed through each of the steps of the process. A simple phone call, email or letter can keep the broker on track as well as inform you exactly of the status of your mortgage. You can request that they notify you of every step as well, as it is complete or changes.
