What is our Second Opinion service?
When it comes to important purchases, many consumers spend a significant amount of time conducting research: appliances, cars, homes, etc.
It’s surprising that so many homeowners don’t research mortgages as thoroughly given the significant financial commitment. For the most part, people simply accept whatever their bank offers them, or at most they will negotiate to receive a slight reduction of a few percentage points.

Why should you ask for a Second Opinion?
Because the majority of people tend to assume that the financial institution they’ve banked with used for years will offer them the most competitive option out there.
While it’s true that some banks provide their customers with exclusive offers and incentives, if you only rely on your bank, you may miss out on some better alternatives, and considerable savings.

Second opinions can be quite beneficial.
When the doctor gives you a disturbing diagnosis, it is only natural for you to consider another point of view. The same holds true for shopping for new clothes, or consulting various mechanics for the same car issue.
Why aren’t second opinions just as commonplace in the mortgage industry?
It’s always better to be safe than sorry, as the saying goes.
Having Budget Rates on your side can simplify the procedure and may end up saving you a substantial amount of money in the long run.
For instance, at renewal, you have the ability to completely renegotiate your mortgage terms without incurring any penalties, making this a crucial window of opportunity.
In the 3, 4 or 5 years since we obtained or last renewed our mortgage, the majority of us will realize that a lot has happened in our life, job, and financial situation. This means that the mortgage needs to be looked at again in light of these changes. The good news is that this is a pretty easy process.
Therefore, as soon as you hear from your lender about your mortgage renewal, request a second opinion!
We can ensure you are receiving the best mortgage by comparing rates, fees, services, and other financial puzzle pieces to make sure they are in line with your long-term financial goals.
We have access to over 50 lenders, a wide range of home loan products, competitive interest rates, and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service.
With our Second Opinion loan review service, we offer you a free, no-credit pull analysis of your mortgage agreement.
Even if you don’t choose financing through Budget Rates, we want you to have all the information you need to make the best decision possible.
Transparency and integrity are an integral part of our values, so if the offer from your bank is the best one out there, we’ll let you know that you’re getting a great deal! And we’ll encourage you to accept the banks offer.
