Mortgage Renewals
Mortgage renewals are one of the most
neglected decisions made during the life of a mortgage. Many
homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because
they believe it is too time consuming to shop around for a
better rate. Or, they simply think that the offer from their
existing bank is the best deal available. This is not correct.
The fact is that each Bank branch acts
as a separate profit centre independent of the Head Office.
They are rewarded and paid based upon the profitability of
their over all mortgage portfolio. They know that most
homeowners don't want to go through the hassle of shopping
around, and possibly having to re-qualify for their mortgage
at a different Bank, so, they offer you a higher rate and hope
that you will take it.
Our experience has shown that most banks
offer their renewing clients a discount of .25% off their
advertised rates. If a client wants to discuss a rate discount
with the branch they belong to, they usually receive a
response no sooner than 5 days.
If the bank wants to keep your business,
shouldn't they respond in a timely manner with a deep discount
for a returning client? At Mortgage Best Inc., all clients are
treated with the respect and courtesy they deserve. The best
rates are always offered and there is no consideration for one
client over another.
If the client does manage to negotiate a
better rate, it’s usually a maximum ceiling discount of .50%.
This is all the branch allows the mortgage representative to
discount any mortgage product. Some special cases are given
for clients who have many investments held within that bank,
but for the most part there are no exceptions made.
Some homeowners are smarter than others,
and they negotiate for a better rate. This usually results in
a rate that is 0.50 - 0.75% better than what was originally
offered in the renewal process. The smartest homeowners call
a mortgage broker!
We are able to gain competing offers on
your mortgage business and we usually return with a rate that
is -1.00 to -1.75% better than your Bank would offer you.
That's right, - 1.75% better! This can translate into
incredible savings! (See below with only a -1.50% savings)
If your mortgage is up for renewal, or
you are looking to increase your mortgage on more favourable
terms than you are being offered by your current mortgage
company, we will do your mortgage shopping for you. We will
find you a mortgage at the best rate currently being quoted in
the market for the term and on the conditions you want.
Provided you are a “qualified borrower” with respect to the
amount you want to borrow, there is no fee payable to us for
this service.
Imagine saving over $129 per month, and reducing
your mortgage by an additional $3,000 in 5 short years!

In addition to a better rate, we can
usually tailor fit a mortgage product to your specific needs.
We fit a Lender's product to your specific desire to have a
flexible mortgage versus a closed mortgage, or a variable term
versus a fixed term, etc. We deal with over 35 Lenders, so
options are always available!
Arguably the best reason to use us for
your mortgage referral is that we know the “ins and outs” of
obtaining the best rates. The secret is that you can secure
your renewal rate up to 180 days before your mortgage actually
renews. This often helps you save thousands of dollars in
interest. For instance, if your mortgage renews on July 1st,
we can secure a new rate for you as early as March 1st.
It often happens that rates fluctuate every 60 days, so, you
will often be able to get a preferred rate through us.
Interest rates have not been this low
for many years. Let us do the running around for you. We will
find the best rate for you to renew your current Mortgage
while saving you possibly thousands of dollars.
