Banks vs originator: How do you choose
A:My advice is definitely to contact a reputable bond originator in your area. The procedure is quick, hassle-free and reliable, and costs you nothing. The originator will guide you in certain areas, and can follow the process, motivating if there are any problems, and will then get you the best interest rate, by negotiating with the different banks.
