A Mortgage Calculator is Your Friend
Many potential home buyers will come to you as a mortgage broker with no idea what mortgage they qualify for. Many will have a set rate in mind, too, based on what they have heard on the news. A good way to begin to compare mortgage rates for home buyers is to understand how much the potential home buyer qualifies for. A mortgage calculator will help you determine that, as it takes into account potential home buyers’ home price, down payment amount, type of loans (fixed or variable-interest rates), property taxes, and more.
Consider Type of Home Loan
The type of home loan that the potential home buyers qualify for will determine mortgage rates, too. There are a lot of factors that go into mortgage types, such as first-time home buyer, seniors, or veteran-status. Your employment history matters, as well as your debt-to-income ratio. Consider the type of home loan for your potential buyer when comparing mortgage rates.
Consider Term of Mortgage
The term of the mortgage may affect the interest rate, too. For example, some mortgage lenders will give discounts if you choose a lesser-term mortgage over a more traditional, 30-year mortgage. This can be great for those looking to pay off their mortgage sooner. Mortgage lenders all offer different interest rates on mortgages, too, which is why it pays to shop around. Here at Radius Financial, we offer our mortgage brokers access to the best rates for their clients. See how we can help your career today.
Prime Mortgages Versus Subprime Mortgages
Subprime mortgages are for borrowers who have less-than-stellar credit scores, which usually means somewhere in the 580-559 range. Because these borrowers are at a higher risk of default due to their poor credit than those with higher credit scores, the rates on their mortgages tend to be higher. That being said, not all subprime mortgages are the best, so working with a top-rated mortgage lender that has access to the best interest rates, such as Radius Financial, can both help homeowners and help mortgage brokers, too.

Adjustable Rates Versus Fixed Rates
Home mortgages come in adjustable rate and fixed-rate types. Fixed-rate mortgages don’t change their interest rates for the life of the loan, while adjustable-rate mortgages have an interest rate that does change over the life of a mortgage. Adjustable interest rate mortgages tend to have a lower starting interest rate than fixed interest rate mortgages since there is more risk involved for the borrower if interest rates rise. That being said, as a mortgage broker partnered with Radius Financial, Canada’s Number-One Rated Mortgage Broker, we offer the lowest five- and three-year adjustable rate mortgages around, so you can offer your customers the best mortgage rates they’ll love.
