Broker vs Bank Comparison

Choosing between a mortgage broker and a traditional bank is one of the most important decisions Toronto homebuyers make. While banks offer familiar in-house products, they typically have limited lending options, standard qualification rules, and little room to negotiate rates. Mortgage brokers, on the other hand, provide greater flexibility, faster approvals, and access to dozens of lenders—including major banks, credit unions, and private lenders.
At City Mortgages, our licensed mortgage agents help you compare 40+ lenders to secure the most competitive rate and the mortgage that fits your financial situation. Whether you are a first-time buyer, refinancing, or exploring alternative lending options, working with a broker ensures you receive unbiased guidance, personalized solutions, and a smoother approval process.

FAQS

Is it worth paying a mortgage broker?

Yes. A mortgage broker can save you time and money by comparing multiple lenders on your behalf. Brokers have access to exclusive rates, flexible mortgage products, and can provide advice tailored to your financial situation.

What income do you need for a $400,000 mortgage in Canada?

Income requirements depend on your down payment, credit score, and debt obligations. Typically, a combined household income of around CAD $80,000–$100,000 may qualify for a $400,000 mortgage, but exact amounts vary by lender. Our licensed mortgage agents can provide a personalised assessment to determine what you qualify for.

Is it better to use a mortgage broker or go directly to a bank?

Using a mortgage broker often provides more options and competitive rates than going to a single bank. Brokers in Toronto compare multiple lenders—including banks, credit unions, and private lenders—to find the best solution for your situation. Banks may have limited products and stricter criteria.

How much do mortgage brokers charge in Ontario?

Mortgage brokers are typically compensated by the lender, so their services are generally free for homebuyers. Working with a broker like City Mortgages ensures you get expert guidance without paying out-of-pocket fees.

Do I need a mortgage broker in Toronto?

Yes. A broker helps you compare rates, find flexible approval options, and guides you through every step of the mortgage process, saving you both time and money.

Can I get approved with bad credit?

Yes. City Mortgages works with lenders who specialise in alternative credit approvals to help clients secure financing.

How long does the mortgage approval process take?

Many clients receive pre-approval within 24 hours, depending on documentation. Full mortgage approval timelines may vary based on lender and property type.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. Applications, approvals, and consultations can be completed entirely online or over the phone for your convenience.
