Common questions

Does it cost anything to call?
No. Your first conversation with Craig is free and there is no obligation. Our service is free to you because the lender pays us, and we accept no referral fees.
How are you different from going directly to a bank?
A bank can only offer its own products. We compare loans across 40+ lenders, give you a personalised assessment before any application is submitted and negotiate rates on your behalf.
How much deposit do I need?
Typically between 5% and 20% of the property value, depending on the lender and your situation. Craig will walk you through government schemes and lenders mortgage insurance options that can get you into a home sooner.
Can you help with construction or renovation loans?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Construction lending releases funds in progress payments as the build advances, and Craig knows which lenders handle it best.
When should I talk to a broker?
The earlier the better. Before you start inspecting properties Craig can confirm your borrowing capacity so you can shop with confidence. Already made an offer? Call straight away and he will work to secure finance as quickly as possible.
Where are you based and who do you serve?
We are based in Coogee and serve Sydney's eastern suburbs including Randwick, Maroubra, Bronte, Kingsford and Bondi Junction, plus clients across Sydney and Australia wide by phone and video.
