What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?
Q. Any advice on what to look for when shopping around for home equity loans? Are there referral commissions? I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan ... I told them I'd look into it for them. I'd like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I'd like to negotiate for that too. How do I figure out what is a "great deal"? PS. I'll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

A. You have to have a mortgage license to collect a commission. It is not legal to be involved without a license.
