Mortgage broker
A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary who sources mortgage loans on behalf of individuals or businesses.
Traditionally, banks and other lending institutions have distributed their own products. However as markets for mortgages have become more competitive, the role of the mortgage broker has become more popular. Today in most developed mortgage markets (especially the U.S., UK, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Canada) mortgage brokers are the largest distributors of mortgage products for lenders.
