Top 10 Mortgage Brokers in France in 2022

Mortgage brokers are active players in the real estate industry. They are mediators between lenders and borrowers. Therefore, they hold a key role in keeping the real estate sector active. As such, StarInsights decided to take a look into mortgage brokers in France and investigate how competitors perform against each other on Google Reviews.

The State of the Real Estate Industry in France 

The real estate industry is one of the most lucrative sectors, contributing largely to the global economy. The market presents enormous investment benefits such as wealth generation and equity building, long-term investment, reliable passive income stream, and vast investment opportunities, among others. 

According to a recent publication by Rentola, the forecasts of the French real estate market in 2023 will be marked by three main scenarios: a sharp increase in loan institutions’ interest rates, a re-stabilisation of the market, and a relapse in real estate prices. The interest rates are projected to be around 2.5% after which, they will escalate again.

In real estate, the driving force is an interplay between supply and demand. After an acute rise in interest rates, the market usually witnesses a decline in the willingness to buy and then re-posits the market at low-interest rates, which in turn, catapults the transactional dynamism (Rentola, 2022). 

An Overview of Mortgage Brokerage 

Participants in the real estate industry include developers, owners, tenants, sellers, buyers, lenders, and brokers. The latter designates the cohort that facilitates transactions between sellers, buyers, or traders. They are a type of financial advisor who works with clients to find them the best loan for their needs. They work with lenders but do not offer mortgages themselves. 

Engaging with a mortgage broker to secure a home loan has an array of benefits. Mortgage brokers have a special relationship with banks and other lenders, they may offer borrowers a wider range of products than if they were going directly to the bank. They can also save borrowers money by finding loans that fit their budgets and credit profiles.

Mortgage brokers’ commissions vary depending on the lender or broker, as well as the type of mortgage the borrower is applying for. Some brokers may charge a flat fee for their services, while others receive a percentage of the loan amount.
