Suraj M., North Melbourne , VIC
Marios Rokka was highly recommended by our friends who recently bought their first home. Since we too were in the process of buying our first home, we were looking for a mortgage broker who had the industry know-how, the experience and patience to guide us through the process. Marios and his team turned out to be the perfect fit for us.

My friend, Lisa referred me to Marios when I purchased my first house. I have returned to Marios with the recent purchase of my second home. The ease of someone explaining the process to me and making it stress free, as all the paperwork was completed for me. I now refer friends to Marios and his team for stress free and complete service when they need finance.

John T., Brunswick West, VIC
Loan Market and Marios Rokka specifically came highly recommended to me through the real estate agent assisting with the sale of my property. I found Marios to be flexible with his time commitments along with being extremely patient in explaining the whole home loan application process in meticulous detail. I achieved the outcome I was looking for in a timely fashion to facilitate the resolution of my property settlement process. I have referred Marios’ services to a close friend of mine to assist in resolving her refinancing predicament.

Marios helped my wife and I obtain finance for our first home 4 years ago and recently helped us with another refinance. He is amazing at what he does and analyses your situation right from the start and tells you exactly what to expect. Always finds you the best deal and gives you the best advice. We bought our house at an auction and he gave us absolute confidence to go ahead and bid. A day later we had approval and everything progressed smoothly towards settlement. I would also like to praise Monica his Relationship Manager for always going over and above call of duty to get things done every time. She is very proactive and makes sure that nothing is left out. We are lucky to have Marios and his team looking after us. Highly recommend Marios if you are looking for someone with experience and reliability to sort out your mortgages.

We’re starting later, it’s costing more - is the property dream unreachable in 2020?
Once upon a time, let’s call it the 80s, the average Australian would buy their first home at the age of 24. Here we are, three decades later, and buying property doesn’t occur until we’re 35. Why is that? Is it thanks to the price of housing in our popular cities, and the militant discipline required to save a gigantic deposit? Or is it that we’ve decided to ‘live a little’ in our twenties, choosing renting and share-housing over striving to attain our first property asset? And is property still the asset class it used to be? Let’s discuss.

The race to the bottom; banks start zealously cutting rates
In the midst of a terrifying and rough summer for much of Australia, it’s odd to reflect on the season that has been for real estate. It’s been a while since the temperature of the housing and home loan market has been so pleasant. Record low rates, looser credit criteria, lender competition, government incentives, much more market activity and property price growth have been coinciding of late. The sentiment has changed and it can be seen in renewed investor and owner-occupier activity, banks proudly shouting about new low rates, and first-timers getting a gift from the government.

Is your cash making you poorer?
You know the phrase, “asset rich, cash poor”? It’s never been uttered in a more provocative environment. Even if you’re generally flush with cash, cash as an investment type is hamstrung these days by the central bank cash rate, meaning you’re poorer than you need to be. Let me say it straight. Cash, right now, is kinda useless as an investment. Rates are about as low as they can go (or are they?) so any cash investments still held are no longer helping your cause. That’s presuming the cause is wealth creation. Cash investments are simply not delivering the returns and the low risk profile that have made them popular for so long.
