How we get paid
In the normal course of business, we usually paid an upfront commission directly by the provider and in some cases an additional trailing commission over the life of the loan or insurance policy. Commission are typically calculated as a percentage of the loan value or issued insurance premium at a rate that can vary by the provider.
The commissions are between 0.55% and 0.88% of the initial mortgage balance or amount funded. We may/will also receive 0.15 % to 0.20 % of the mortgage balance on each anniversary. Some of the banks pay $ 150 for Refixing the existing Mortgage and some banks pay Trail commission.
A full schedule of all providers and their commission rates is available upon request. We may also receive a share of commission on the Insurance of a risk Insurance policy.
Commission from Insurance Provider (AIA, Cigna and Partner’s Life) 100 % to 200% of the total annual premium. I will also receive 5% to 10% of each year’s premiums (Depending upon the Insurance company) for as long as the policy remains in force.
Clawback Recovery fee
If the loan is repaid within 27 months of settlement (the ‘Clawback Period), TMLGURU may have some or all the original upfront commission ‘clawed back’ by the provider.

· The property is sold and the loan is repaid within the clawback period.
