High-flying Stock Market Better for Brokers?

 Mortgage Brokers are re-claiming market share as wealthy clients are only cautiously considering big banks due to increases at the stock market, according to Vernon Clement Jones, Mortgage Broker News. 

“In the last week, we’ve just had two of the biggest deals of my career,” Mark Herman, an agent and team leader for Mortgage Alliance Mortgages Are Marvelous Inc. in Calgary, told MortgageBrokerNews.ca. “One was a new purchase for $1.525 million, with five per cent down, and the other one was for a $750,000 line of credit on a $1.5 million purchase. High-end mortgage business for brokers in Calgary has picked up like we’ve never seen.”
