IMHO you should do your homework and find the loan you want and then go directly to that bank.

Having said that at the moment a lot of the mortgage brokers will be willing to work a bit harder to keep you as a repeat customer and not just get the initial deal.

Obviously people should research loans and loan processes before going to anyone, MB or bank. Once you have a basic understanding, then use the MB to source information on lots of different banks/loans quickly for comparisons. Don't trust everything a MB/bank tell you. Having said that and having bought houses via both methods, I won't be dealing direct with banks again. You have to chase the banks for information and straight answers....at least the MB we use knows about customer service.
