    100% Independent Mortgage Advisor

    At Frits, we understand that buying a house is a significant financial step. That's why our independent mortgage advisors are ready to assist you. What can you expect when you choose us?

    As independent mortgage advisors, we are not tied to a specific lender. We compare all banks for interest rates and conditions. In two sessions, we discuss the best options for your situation. During and after the conversation, you can view all calculations and options through your dashboard.

    What does a mortgage advisor do?

    A mortgage advisor provides personal advice when securing your mortgage. An independent mortgage advisor compares all banks, allowing you to obtain the best terms and interest rates.

    Our mortgage advisors take the time to assess your personal situation. They analyze your financial situation, determine how much you can borrow, and consider current market conditions. All scenarios and options are discussed and compared, allowing you to make the best choices for your personal situation.

    What are the costs of a mortgage advisor?

    The costs of a mortgage advisor can vary. At Frits, you are always informed about what to expect, including the costs for your mortgage advice. We aim to be as transparent as possible about our prices and use fixed rates. In the case of a special situation, additional costs may be incurred because the advisor needs to do more work.

    What should I ask a mortgage advisor?

    When speaking with a mortgage advisor, it's essential to ask the right questions. At Frits, we are happy to take the time to answer these questions and provide clarity. Curious about the questions you can ask, for example?

    • Which mortgage type suits my situation best?
    • For what period should I fix the interest rate?
    • Which monthly expenses align best with my income?

    In this article, you can read more questions to ask a mortgage advisor. 

    Is a mortgage advisor mandatory?

    It is not mandatory to engage a mortgage advisor, but it is advisable. Handling it yourself takes time, money, and is complicated. Currently, you can arrange your mortgage with about 14 banks, while there are more than 30 banks in the market. It may happen that you pay a lower interest rate with one of the other banks. Getting a mortgage is the most significant financial decision you make in your life, so good advice is crucial. At Frits, we take the time to explain everything to you in a way that you can understand and convey.

    We are happy to go through all the possibilities with you.
