In saying that, a mortgage broker is generally paid in two different ways. Firstly, the largest portion of their payment is in an upfront commission when you sign on to your loan.

Some have been known to pair a borrower with the mortgage that offers the broker the greatest profit, instead of the lowest cost to the borrower.
