8 AS SEEN ON 7 NEWS LAST NIGHT Did you know there is a 2% difference between the cheapest and the most expensive home loan interest rates on the market? But with over 100 lenders offering over 1,100 different loans, how do you know how your home loan interest rate compares with the others? Do you have time to look up the rates of all these lenders and call them to see what they can sell you? Don t forget, they are not working for you, they just want to sell you their own product. Well that s where a great mortgage broker is invaluable. A mortgage broker will listen to what you need, not just for now, but for the future as well. They then work on your behalf to find the best loan to suit your individual requirements. All this at no cost to you. All it takes is one call to your local broker, and major sponsor of our swim club, Graham Ede at Yellow Brick Road Belmore to get the ball rolling. Graham will meet with you at a place and time that is convenient to you, listen to what you need, then search the market for the best loan to suit you. Make the call that could save you thousands.
