Not every funding gap needs a full refinance. But too often, many valuable clients were urged into breaking first mortgages just to unlock urgent capital.
In 2025, more brokers are keeping clients ahead by using second mortgages as a fast, strategic financial bridge.
When done right, bridging beats refinancing because it saves your client’s rates and cuts out weeks of paperwork.
When is bridging better than refinancing?
Client has strong first mortgage terms they don’t want to lose.
Urgent settlement deadlines — think 3 to 5-day turnarounds.
Equity tied up across multiple assets that need short-term release.
Break costs would outweigh the benefit of a new full loan.
Bridging can boost speed-to-market
Timing kills deals. Bridging lets your client jump on new sites, stock or opportunities before a competitor does, without waiting weeks for a full ReFi.
Acting fast often means better purchase terms and stronger negotiating power. Brokers who bring this option win trust and more referrals.
