Our Commitmen
Budgeting wisely
We'll help you determine a realistic budget that considers not only the property price but also ongoing expenses like maintenance, utilities, and council rates as well as your current lifestyle. It’s important you can manage your mortgage repayments without them causing you stress when you move in.
Loan options
Navigating through the myriad of home loan options can be confusing. We'll break down the differences between fixed and variable rates, repayment terms, and eligibility criteria to find the best fit for you. This process means we not only get you into the right loan, but also maximise the chance of a successful outcome (approval from the lender) as we focus on mortgage solutions, not mortgage products.
Government Support
There are various grants and schemes available for first home buyers in Victoria. We'll guide you through the application process and ensure you're maximizing the benefits.

We use our knowledge and experience to provide a streamlined approach and give you the advantage.

Getting to know you
We need to understand your current financial situation so we can determine the most competitive and appropriate lending solution and strategy to help achieve your lifestye and property goals.
The Nitty Gritty
With your Mortgage Strategy in place, our team will coordinate with you to gather all the relevant documents and information we need to help you get a speedy and positive outcome from the lender.
Pre-approval
Getting pre-approval on your home loan means you can start looking for property or making plans. With the confidence of knowing that the lender has agreed in principle to lend you the money.
Unconditional approval
This is the green light that the lender has fully approved your loan with no conditions. It's not quite time to pop the champagne though, until settlement occurs.
Settlement
Phew, we made it. The final inspection has been conducted, the title has been transferred into your names, and you have the keys to your new home in your hot little hands. Happy days!
Mortgage Mentoring
When the dust settles, we are still here to guide you along your property journey. From smart strategies to help you pay down your loan quicker or to build equity for future goals and projects. We've only just begun.
