The first thing you need to decide is whether you’re going to approach your lender directly or use a mortgage broker.

A broker acts as the intermediary between you and your bank or lender. They will help you fill out any paperwork, negotiate the best deals on the market and be available to answer any questions you may have about your mortgage or the home loan application process.

However, there’s a big difference between quality brokers who work to get you the best deal, and those who are in the game to generate quick commissions while doing the least possible work.

To make sure you’re working with a seasoned pro who has your best interests at heart, we spoke to experienced mortgage broker Trent Bartels from Finance in Sydney. We asked Trent how you can go about finding the best broker to help you get the best deal, and he came up with this list of questions to help you quality your potential new mortgage broker:
