          Buying a home can be a daunting process,
        
        
          especially when there are so many things to
        
        
          consider like:
        
        
          • where and what can I buy?
        
        
          • how much deposit will I need?
        
        
          • how much can I borrow?
        
        
          • who should I borrow from?
        
        
          • what are all the other costs involved?
        
        
          •  how can I repay my mortgage quickly,
        
        
          and
        
        
          •  what other decisions do I need to make
        
        
          during this process?
        
        
          Our role as your mortgage specialist is to
        
        
          
            guide you through the process to ensure
          
        
        
          
            that all your needs and options are
          
        
        
          
            considered.
          
        
        
          We make sure that this exciting
        
        
          opportunity is professionally managed to
        
        
          reduce the time and worry for you throughout
        
        
          the purchase.
        
        
          If you are researching your finance options,
        
        
          everyone will be advertising “the best deal”.
        
        
          But what they may omit to tell you about are
        
        
          the hidden costs, or just as importantly how
        
        
          to structure your finance to suit your ongoing
        
        
          and future needs. We have access to many
        
        
          lenders and will be able to guide you through
        
        
          your decision if you are thinking about your
        
        
          finance options right now. Don’t do it on your
        
        
          own. Ask us, your trusted finance specialist, to
        
        
          work through this with you.
        
        
          Don’t think that by going to your local bank
        
        
          it will get done faster or that it will be more
        
        
          beneficial to you. All loans go to a processing
        
        
          unit. Brokers have access to the banks’ Business
        
        
          Development Managers (BDM’s) who can
        
        
          escalate issues. We make them work harder
        
        
          for you to get your loan through. Because we
        
        
          have access to many loan products across
        
        
          many institutions, we can often find alternative
        
        
          solutions for funding that some banks just
        
        
          can’t access. It’s not uncommon for brokers to
        
        
          get a loan through the same bank whose local
        
        
          branch has declined an application. So make
        
        
          sure you
        
        
          
            call us first to save your time.
          
        
        
          Regulations in the broking industry are
        
        
          continuing to improve across Australia. Think
        
        
          of your broker as being a professional resource
        
        
          in the same way you think of your accountant,
        
        
          financial planner or solicitor. We are in the
        
        
          business of building ongoing relationships
        
        
          with our clients and to think of your best
        
        
          interests, not those of the bank.
        
        
          We will work with you and your service
        
        
          providers (real estate agent, conveyancer and
        
        
          lender) and sometimes your other professional
        
        
          affiliates (such as your accountant and
        
        
          financial planner) during this process, while
        
        
          ensuring we help you obtain the finance that
        
        
          best suits your circumstances and needs.
