Getting started: Your roadmap to buying your first home

Want to buy your first home but not sure where to begin? Let's have a chat! We're eager to guide you through the maze, starting with the basics of the lending process and what lenders are looking for in your application. It's never too soon to prepare, even if you're thinking of buying 6 - 12 months down the line. We can set you on a path to save for your deposit and boost your credit rating (we'll explain what that is, too!). Plus, we can secure pre-approval for you, so you're ready to grab your dream home the moment you find it.

The experts you'll need

Our services to you are complimentary

We get paid by the bank when your loan settles, meaning the benefits of using a broker don’t come as an extra charge. And just to ease your mind…. The commissions paid by Australian lenders are all within a similar fee structure, so there is no benefit to us for choosing one lender over another. It’s ALL about you.
