We're nothing like the rest
There are several types of independent mortgage brokers. The first is independent of a franchise group such as Mortgage Choice or Aussie, however different rates of commissions can influence the brokers recommendation. The second is not just independent of a franchise group, but has several important protections in place that ensure that the advice you receive cannot be influenced by commission or other incentives. Mates Rates is the second type.
Mates Rates mortgage brokers are salaried specialists, not the commission only sales people you are likely to find hidden by other brands. Perhaps even more importantly, every lender and product recommendation made by your mates rates broker will be checked by a quality controller even before you see it, so you can be sure we are doing everything we can to give you honest, independent advice.
