WHY CHOOSE US?

We know our sh*t

We have over 30 years of collective experience and are working in the thick of it every day. We know the application process inside out – the bank policies, the timeframes, possible delays, and the forms. All those FORMS. While there’s no getting around them, we’ll make them easier to understand and complete.

We find your right match

Loans are not a one-size-fit-all. Many people focus on the interest rate, and while this is important, it’s not the be-all-end-all. Your loan type will depend on things like your age, savings, equity, future business/work plans and family plans. Did you know, some banks offer a break from repayments when you take maternity leave? We have access to hundreds of loan products across 40+ lenders. We’ll find your fit!

We find competitive options

While the interest rate isn’t always the be all and end all, we still strive to get you the best possible rate and loan package to fit your circumstances. Even a savings of 2-3% of a home loan over a five year loan period can reduce your payments significantly.

We do the hard stuff

Once we’ve worked out which lender and which product is right for you, we prepare the application for you. We are your single point of contact so that you don’t have to sit on hold with various banking departments and explain your story to numerous representatives. We do the forms and the liaison so you don’t have to.

We love teaching

Whether it’s your first home and you need help understanding the basics like interest rates and LMI, or your tenth property and you want to talk strategy, capital gains and LVRs, we’re here to help. Diagrams, scenarios, spreadsheets… whatever you need.

We work for YOU, not the banks

Our service doesn’t end once your loan settles. We’ll be in touch when interest rates drop, when your fixed interest period expires, and every few months to touch base. New cars, home renovations and other big life events may mean we can swap your loan conditions to more favourable options.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

  • We met Matt Goodyear when we were looking for our first home on the Sunshine Coast. He was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to getting the best home loan available to us at that time. Even the bank manager was amazed that Matt got us a 1% lower than his bank’s variable rates for the lifetime of our loan. When it came time to buy our 2nd house, we didn’t hesitate to give Matt a call, knowing full well that he was going to get us the best deal in town…and he did. Both our investment property and the house we lived in were on Owner Occupier rate…how did you negotiate that, Matt? A few years down the road, we refinanced our existing loans and with in-depth knowledge of our finances, Matt managed to almost halve our monthly repayments with great juggling of our new loans. Thanks, Matt!

  • I would recommend these guys 100 times over and if I could give David 10 stars I would. They have the best communication and extremely high level of customer service.

    Brendan Moss
  • Matt helped me buy my first home in such record time! All though we were waiting for a while to hear back from the bank I had complete trust in the process and complete trust in Matt's work. I am so happy with my loan, and I will definitely use Matt again in the future and totally recommend him, he made it feel so easy for me! Thank you so much!

He has been our mortgage broker for a few years with a couple of refinances and some very amazing ideas with how to manage the money side of our lives!

    Ekaterina Skinner
  • If you're in need of a mortgage broker who goes above and beyond, look no further than The Happy Finance Company. Five stars all the way! Twice we have had the pleasure of working with Andrea. We are beyond impressed with her exceptional service and expertise. From start to finish, Andrea was available to assist us with what we thought wasn’t possible and fought for us to achieve the best possible rates. Andrea's knowledge of the mortgage industry is unparalleled. She took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the mortgage process, ensuring that we fully understood the terms and conditions. Her ability to simplify complex financial concepts made us feel confident and informed throughout the entire transaction. A shout out to Josh also, he makes things happen! Thanks guys.

    Loren Egan
  • Andrea got in contact with me after I had left a message about wanting to find a competitive rate for my mortgages. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable about the different products on the market and gave me some great advice about how best to proceed. Whilst I did not end up using the Happy Finance Company, as I decided to stay with my existing bank, I would confidently recommend their services to others. Thanks Andrea!
