The question I put forward to you was what would you do if this was your client - you had put forward the loan to the bank, the bank agreed and reversed their position shortly thereafter giving insufficient time for you to arrange an alternative.

So basically if the sheet hits the fan, your response is "should have used another lender" rather than going into bat for your client and getting the bank to honour the deal they previously agreed.

So what good would using a mortgage broker be? Seems like you would only add another layer of bullshit to the process.

If you were a good broker (doubtful), surely you would have a significant enough book of business that you can use as leverage to get deals done. But I guess you must be running a mickey mouse operation. Saying it is "bank's policy" would not fly with me, we both know the bank will ignore their policies when there is a business case for it (which is exactly what the first loan officer did before he left the organisation).

Banks will never ignore their own policies when there is a first home buyer and possible mortgage insurance involved. It would be like trying to get blood out of a stone. If the kid has seen a broker and been presented with a range of different options instead of one bank manager saying "she'll be right" he wouldn't be front page news.
