Mortgage brokers are paid by the lender, not by you. Standard commission: 0.65% of the loan amount upfront plus 0.15% trail commission per year. For a $600,000 loan, the broker receives ~$3,900 upfront and $900/year ongoing. Under Best Interests Duty laws (introduced 2021), brokers are legally required to recommend the loan that's in YOUR best interest, not the one paying highest commission. They must disclose all commissions in writing before you proceed.

Yes — for the borrower in 99% of cases. Some specialist brokers charge fees for very complex deals (commercial, foreign income, bridging finance) — typically $1,500-$5,000, disclosed upfront. The lender pays the broker commission whether you go direct or via broker, so the cost to you is the same. Brokers often negotiate better rates than walk-in customers due to their volume relationships with lenders. There's no downside to using a broker for a standard residential mortgage.
