11. You’re Afraid To Deal With The Bank Directly

As we said above, a broker isn’t the only way to go. They aren’t just looking out for you, but for them bank and themselves as well. Furthermore, banks will also need pay to your broker a monthly or yearly commission, which – surprise, surprise – will come out of your pocket (even if you don’t know it).

Don’t be afraid to deal with the bank directly, especially if you yourself are adequately informed about finance. Book consultations with a helpful bank clerk, and go over everything with a fine-toothed comb. Remember, be smart and ask for help if you need it!
