Home Loan & Mortgage Broking FAQs

A Mortgage Broker acts on your behalf throughout the process of obtaining your home loan, investment loan, debt consolidation and refinancing. Their Primary role is to Prepare your home loan application, present to you your options, submit your file to the lender, manage communication between the other professionals involved and the banks; as well as signing your papers, educating you and being by your side from start to finish and beyond.

A mortgage Broker acts on your behalf (like a real estate agent would when selling your house) to obtain finance for your home loan. They are the middleman between you and the bank.

A Mortgage Brokers roll includes, educating you on home loans, preparing a pre-assessment and discussing with you your borrowing capacity and discussing your bank options (because unlike when you walk into a bank where you have one option, Mortgage brokers generally have a large panel of 45 lenders to choose from). They will assist in packaging up your application and presenting it nicely for the lender to approve.

A Mortgage Broker will manage communication with the lender, negotiate and come back to you to discuss what the lender is after. Often this will illuminate bank language jargon and waiting times on hold with the lender.

A Mortgage Broker will also go over and sign your application and formal loan documents with you. Explaining and answering all of your questions.
A Mortgage Broker will also be managing communication with the real estate agent and Conveyancer for settlement.

In short, A mortgage broker will save you a lot of time and stress.

The world is a busy place, and you are most likely a busy person, home loans and Mortgage are not a thing to rush, it is something that takes a lot of time and understanding. Using a Mortgage Broker will save you a lot of time, potential stress and money.

A Mortgage Broker can look over and compare many banks of your application, they can see what bank has the best products for your circumstances, the lowest interest rates and fees. This can save you a lot of money in the long run, where a lender may not tell you that the back around the corner has a better product for you.

While there is nothing necessarily wrong in choosing to walk into a lender directly and get a home loan, a Mortgage Broker does offer more options, they also have the ability to negotiate and often are more available on the phone and email.

In most cases we will not charge a for our services up front, but once you settle on your property your Mortgage Broker will receive a commission from the lender for giving them business. This will be discussed with your mortgage broker.

What a mortgage broker needs from you when completing your application does depend on your personal circumstances however as a rule of thumb, a broker will generally as for includes: a form a ID ie drivers’ licences or passport, evidence of income (payslips, NOA employment letter, Business financials, bank statements showing salary credits,), evidence of funds to complete (bank statements).

As brokers in most cases do not charge a fee for their services, mortgage brokers make their income though the commission they get paid when a client’s home loan settles. The commission amount will be stated on your loan documents. This all deppends on your loan scenario.

Where a lender lends money directly to you, a mortgage broker does not, they work between you and the lender to get you the best results.

A mortgage Broker simply can give you more value, from more flexibility with lenders, to meeting times and the ability to negotiate. Over 70% of home loans are through mortgage brokers.
