So it's hard to get great staff in the bank that can have a long-term relationship with, which as a broker you could go back to and say, I need to get money for a renovation or et cetera.
So I think it's the long-term relationship is another key point.
So if you think of a bank wants to sell you a $500,000 mortgage, right?
How much they make roughly, let's say 2% on that mortgage is their margin over the next 30 years.
You know, they lend it to you at say crazy rates now, let's say 3%.
But their cost of getting that money is maybe 1%.

They know that you're not going to keep you for 30 years.
Every three or four years, a lot of people refinance.

And that's what they pay mortgage brokers for, really.
But we also package that customer up on a plate for them.
We get all their documents.
We make sure it hits policy.
