... mortgage managers offer much more flexibility than you would find going straight to a broker or bank. Mortgage managers source their loan products from different wholesale lenders and work across these to find the best deal for you. Also, unlike brokers, mortgage managers are often authorised to approve home loans on behalf of the lenders, meaning there are fewer hoops to go through and less time waiting to get approved.

OBS

Mortgage managers oversee only their clients’ mortgages, while mortgages managers oversee the mortgage department or section within a financial institution.
