Why you should choose an authorized advisor when taking out a mortgage
When you need to make important financial, mortgage or refinancing decisions, you need safe and independent advice. An authorized advisor can document up-to-date expertise and is obliged to follow the industry standard Good Practice and strict ethical rules.
At Eiendomsfinans, we authorize all our advisors to ensure competence, security and good choices for our customers.

What does it mean that an advisor is authorized?
“Advisor” is not a protected title. Anyone can call themselves an advisor.
However, an authorized advisor has:
- Passed a comprehensive knowledge test within their area of expertise (banking, insurance or investment)
- Passed a separate ethics test
- Passed a practical test where they have to show that they can use their ethical and professional competence in meeting customers
- Committed to following the industry standard Good Practice in all customer care
This gives you as a customer an extra assurance that the advice you receive is professionally solid and ethically sound.
Customer interest first - also for mortgages
The authorization schemes are designed to ensure that the consumer’s interest always comes first. This means, among other things, that:
- The advice will be based on your financial situation and needs
- You will receive good and understandable information about relevant alternatives
- You are always free to choose solutions other than the products suggested.
Finansnæringens autorisasjonsordninger (FinAut) authorizes advisors who work in:
- Banks
- Insurance companies
- Advisory companies
The aim is to ensure a high level of expertise and good ethics in all customer service in the financial industry.
When you take out a mortgage or make changes to your home finances, it is crucial that you get good advice.
An authorized credit advisor has documented expertise and follows strict ethical rules. This gives you as a customer extra peace of mind when making important financial decisions.
