Get your mortgage right and it's the easiest money you'll make
Our team of mortgage brokers are whizzes at perfecting a mortgage structure.
Rather than putting all your eggs in one basket at one interest rate, depending on your situation we'll usually advise splitting your mortgage across different terms and rates. We’re pretty clued up about the economy and rate movement so we’ll help you make an informed decision.
Why bother getting so technical?
The devil is really in the detail. When we’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars, a fraction of a percent change in interest or repayment rates can save you a packet. This could mean retiring to your super yacht a few years earlier than planned. If that's your thing.
1.
We’ll chat with you to understand your financial situation and what you’re wanting to achieve.
2.
Your adviser can provide honest feedback on any potential properties, and answer questions you’ve got along the way.
3.
We’ll work with the banks to get you a hot rate. We’ve got access to them all, plus a community of willing peer-to-peer lenders for custom solutions when needed. More options for you means better rates.
4.
Work out the best structure to suit your lifestyle, and negotiate your mortgage for you.
5.
Together we can build a plan to help you get mortgage-free faster. You might be amazed at what small things you can do to shave years off your mortgage.
6.
We don’t ‘set and forget’. Your adviser is always a phone call or email away and down the track we’ll help you when your fixed rate rolls over, and beyond.
We've picked up a few awards along the way
Stay on top of the property market
It doesn’t matter how fresh you are, someone has been in your shoes before. We’ve written a lot about all of the aspects of buying a property. Everything from “What the hell is a LIM?” through to “How do I buy my seventh mansion?” Check out our blog and get up with the property game.
