How mortgage broking works: getting a home loan, inside & out

How do you actually get a mortgage? How do you get a loan for a property and what happens on settlement day? Work with Chris: Rask + Blusk mortgage broking In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Chris Bates, the founder of Blusk who was recently voted one of NSW's top mortgage brokers; and myself (Owen Rask, founder of The Rask Group), dive deep into every single step of the mortgage broking process. Chris and I cover every step of mortgage broking and how a really good mortgage broker should treat their client (you). If you're new to getting a mortgage, buying a property, or simply thinking about partnering with a good mortgage broker, I think this Australian Property Podcast episode is for you!In short, there are two ways most people get a loan in Australia to buying a property: Go direct to a bank. Use a mortgage broker. This is now the most common option, by far. Over the past decade, the mortgage broking industry has blossomed because, I think, it helps would-be property owners make a more informed decision when it comes to picking lenders, finding a good rate, understanding the different types of 'products' (offset accounts, redraw, fixed versus variable loans, etc.). However, in my opinion, the distance between good mortgage brokers and bad mortgage brokers is incredible. Unfortunately, picking a good one out of the gate is really tough!
