It also depends a bit on what kind of case you are. The "big" brokers are now so well off that they basically only want the easy cases. So either with a lot of equity (20-40%) and sufficient income or very high income, so that 100%-120% financing is not an issue. As soon as it gets a bit more complicated, like no equity but other lendable assets, they lose interest because it takes effort. Sometimes an independent broker is still willing to make the effort. Because they live long-term from recommendations and good reviews, as they cannot run TV ads.
