Negotiating a mortgage is about some knowledge that you need to know and implement in real life. If you do everything properly you might be surprised to find out that what you will get AFTER negotiating can be much better than what you have been offered BEFORE.
The tips are simple, but effective.
First of all, the rule of a thumb is not to believe in everything that home mortgage company rep-ve is telling you. That is why before coming down to signing any agreement – scrutinize every detail of the mortgage and possible options.
In any case – tell your broker in all details about financial situation and budget that you have. This will help your broker to estimate your capacity for the mortgage. And then it’s your time to listen for all possible options that can lessen your payments for the mortgage. Don’t let the broker out until you hear all options 
This is a joke, but make sure to ask several times if these are all options, because it will be about YOUR money and YOUR payments. Don’t be shy.
Also ask questions about the rates. You should know – though it’s not necessarily to tell this into the face of a broker – that home mortgage companies get bonuses from the wholesale lenders by overcharging you.
Then how to avoid huge, unnatural mortgage interest rates? Pay to real state expert to consult you before and after communicating talking to a mortgage broker. At least do that for the first time. Yes, this is extra expenses, but it will save you a lot more money in the long run.
And finally – shop around! When shopping around try to squeeze more info by saying something like "Well, I saw this company offering this – is that good? Can you show anything better?" – the questions are presented in a more naive form, but you got the point – usually during the fight for the client they are ready to disclose more secrets with you, especially when they need to turn their competitor down. Ask 3-4 competitive companies like this and you will have the clear picture of what is really worth attention and what is just a lure, advertising placebo to make you feel better about the mortgage.
