Your local Mortgage Broker in North Melbourne, Essendon, Brunswick and surrounding areas

Getting through the mortgage maze can be daunting at the best of times.

Finding the lowest interest rate can be as easy as a google search, but knowing what to look for and the potential issues each transaction can present is a challenge in itself. The key is in understanding ‘how’ your circumstances fit into the lending maze and which lender to choose is best done with experience and understanding.

So, this is what we do;

1. Coffee Time We sit down together and I ask you a lot of questions. This helps me to really understand you and why you are doing what you’re doing. This uncovers so much information which helps me to build the framework.

2. Design and Build I come back to you with options that are built just for you, providing you with the pros and cons to each so you know exactly what you are getting into.

3. Analyse and Decide The choice is yours. With all the hard work out of the way and all questions answered picking the product that has been built for you now seems easy.

4. Apply and Approve Our support team steps in and make you feel like a star. We get you to autograph all the formal stuff and then we handle the rest of your application with the lender from submission to approval, right through to settlement.

5. Keeping You Informed We walk you through each step keeping you informed the whole time by either phone or email, answering any questions you have and advising you of where your application is at. If you are getting finance to purchase a new property, we think think ahead for you providing you with checklists ensuring no stone is left unturned.

6. Aftercare Once your finance has been finalised we don’t just send you on your way. We check in to see that all your aftercare needs and queries are met - ie. account logins, direct debits etc etc. We also like to check in every now and then (but not too often) just to make sure your loan is still leading the pack. And if not, it’s coffee time again. My shout!
