What’s ideal for first time Home buyers, work straight with a conventional bank or a Mortgage broker?

    Either work. Depends on what you are looking for but at the end of the day most FTHB wants guidance and competitive rate. No one can claim they have the lowest rate, as there are over 1,000 lenders in the Nation. You can spend time every single one to try and get the "lowest" rate and in that time miss out on buying something.

    In the current environment working with a reliable team of agent and lender goes a long way to ensure that you’re successful in your new journey. 

    Have fun and best of luck to you as you set out in your journey 😀.
