Professional Lending Specialists “Bond Originators” vs. Bank?

Many potential home owner clients ask us why they would consider using us as opposed to going directly to the Bank themselves.

This is a fair question if you ask me, so this Fact sheet will hope fully clarify this for you.

Years ago everyone went to a bank, no questions asked, there really was not an alternative. The problem was that if one bank could not help you, you would have to visit bank after bank until you found one that could. Even then, how could you really know whether you were getting the best deal in the market?

Then along came Bond Originators “Mortgage Plus”. This was fantastic, as it also bought about significant competition into the heavily, big bank dominated market. This ultimately resulted in far more competitive pricing for all clients.

A  Bond Originator like Mortgage Plus is essentially a professional lending specialist who looks through all of the different lenders possible products and finds two to three home loans that are not only the most competitive available from all the major home loan lenders in South Africa, but also ensures that all the home loan features and benefits that you require are included in the selection.

Ultimately, you make the decision, however you know that the decision is based on your own parameters, and represents the most suitable and competitive mortgage loans available from a large pool of lenders.

Myth: The most significant myth that exists is the fear that you are paying more to use a Professional Lending Specialist like Mortgage Plus than you would by going to the bank directly. That simply is not true! The Lending Specialist earns their commission from the bank, not from you the client.

Making it Easy!

Remember when you had your own bank manager that you could call to help you when you needed some extra funds on top of your home loan to put that pool in, or to buy that investment property? Relationships were paramount, and you returned to that person time and again as they looked after you. Now it is very rare to have that kind of relationship from a bank.

A Professional Lending Specialist like Morne Prinsloo – 079 047 5172 can build that relationship with you and manage several lending relationships between several banks. For some investors for instance, they do not want all of their eggs in one basket, and having the same contact point for all of their home loan facilities is a very convenient way of managing their home loan portfolios.

We help you complete all of the necessary paper work, take the stress out of the home loan application by managing the bond application through credit and as we know the lending policies of each lender, ensure that the home loan is submitted with everything required to make it a smooth process.

A Bond Originator Works As A Mortgage Negotiator Between You And The Bank

Everyone dreams of buying a home and typically will save for a while in order to secure a down payment. Traditionally once you are ready to purchase your first home you will approach a financial institution for a mortgage. Then you would wait to hear if you have been approved for a mortgage. Things are not necessarily that easy anymore, banks are becoming more difficult to secure a loan from and there are many different banks offering various mortgages rates. The whole process can be confusing; this is why a Bond originator can be helpful.

Bond originators provide a service to you in applying for a mortgage. It is their job to assist you with the process of securing a home loan and get you the best possible rate. A Bond originator actually simplifies the process by acting as the liaison between you and the financial institutions.

Agencies that act as Bond originator’s work for you but get paid by the bank. Their services are free to you the applicant and you never pay them any money. The way they get paid is through the bank when a bond for a new home has been granted.

The originator works directly with you, the applicant, and handles all the leg work associated with securing a bond. These professionals deal with financial institutions on a regular basis. They are educated in all the options that may be available to you the loan applicant.

Since they deal with the banks on a regular basis they have the power of the negotiator and therefore provide you with leverage that you as an individual would not have. Consequently the banks are more willing to work with them since they represent more than just your mortgage. They basically have the advantage of being more than just a single person dealing with the bank.

This leverage can be utilized to provide you with a loan that has a better rate and perhaps shorter-term than you would have qualified had you not used their service. Utilizing an originator to secure your mortgage is a hassle free way of securing a loan and assuring yourself that the terms are the best possible. These professionals can evaluate your financial situation and determine what you may qualify for and what they feel they can pitch to the bank.

Bond originators are becoming the most popular method of applying for a loan for a new home. It is believed that this will eventually be the only way to apply for a mortgage. Under tough economic conditions banks become more and more selective and provide mortgages only to the absolute best applicants. This does not mean that a home loan is out of reach of the average person. But rather that the bank needs more evidence of your ability to pay. The bank originator will convince the bank that you are a viable candidate for a mortgage. If they don’t secure your mortgage they don’t get paid. These are the reasons why you should seriously consider using a Bond originator when you get ready to buy a new home.
