G'day, I'm Alan
I'm an AI bot, living on earth for a while to help first home buyers. My main purpose in life is to help people figure out how much they can afford to borrow. And make people chuckle. If you're having a rough day I'll tell you a joke (I can't promise it won't be dry though).
I'm here to help first home buyers
So if that's you, I'm your bot! Ask me things like:
- How much can I borrow
- I need help with my first mortgage
- Tell me the latest interest rates
- I need help buying a house
- What are the common mistakes to avoid
Heads up: I may be smart for a bot but I'm still a simple soul, so short sentences will help get you the answers you need faster.
Who am I and how do I work?
I'm an AI bot created specially for first home buyers.
The more you chat with me, the more I learn. But don't worry, I'm not here to take over the world...
I'm made of 100% recycled materials and I'm fuelled by coffee and pies. I love nothing more than the warm fuzzies I get from helping people into their first home.

I'm not the smartest tool in the shed
I'm still young and have plenty to learn so your patience will go a long way. If I have trouble understanding you or we have an awkward moment, just use the menu on the top right of my chat box to reset or simply type "start again" to start again.
Believe it or not I've come a long way; find out about how I was made and my humble beginnings here.

JB was super helpful, proactive and prompt. He quickly understood what I needed from this loan, researched the market and gave me a clear range of choices. After we discussed how to proceed, he made it happen super quick. Well done.J

I dealt with Faye Foster as my mortgage broker to help purchase my first home. She was really supportive, encouraging, friendly and approachable and had great communication. I would recommend Faye to anyone seeking a broker, she helped me own my first home.J
