Home loans and mortgages can be<br />
confusing and complex, with which<br />
bank or lender to apply, interest rates<br />
and terms, and the initial application<br />
process. Making the right choice is<br />
crucial, so receiving the expert advice<br />
of a mortgage broker may offer a<br />
solution to a stressful situation.<br />
What is a mortgage broker?<br />
A mortgage broker is a financial<br />
adviser who is a go-between for the<br />
borrower and a lender to get the<br />
required loan. <strong>The</strong>y specialise in the<br />
mortgage market, loan products,<br />
lender policies, interest rates, and the<br />
mortgage application process to give<br />
you tailored advice. <strong>The</strong>y may also<br />
refer borrowers to other services in the<br />
purchasing process, including lawyers,<br />
valuers, or builders.<br />
Louise Taylor from <strong>The</strong> Mortgage<br />
Girls suggests several reasons why a<br />
mortgage broker may be beneficial:<br />
• Mortgage brokers have access to<br />
a wide network of multiple lenders,<br />
including all the banks, meaning they<br />
can offer you a broader range of<br />
mortgage options and opportunities to<br />
secure a loan successfully.<br />
Although the broker usually receives a<br />
commission from lenders, they<br />
work on your behalf, not the<br />
banks. Often, brokers have strong<br />
relationships with lenders and<br />
can negotiate to secure the most<br />
favourable terms, better interest rates<br />
and other incentives, including cash<br />
throughout<br />
contributions.<br />

documentation, from first-home<br />
buyers with limited knowledge of the<br />
process to investors and experienced<br />
property developers.<br />
• A broker will assess your financial<br />
situation and long-term goals to<br />
recommend a mortgage solution that<br />
best suits your needs.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y build relationships and provide<br />
personalised and customised solutions<br />
for each borrower. <strong>The</strong>y may suggest<br />
holding off submitting applications that<br />
will be unsuccessful and instead work<br />
with customers to put plans in place<br />
to work towards success. <strong>The</strong>y also<br />
remind customers when interest rates<br />
are due to come off fixed terms and<br />
explore options to refix, restructure or<br />
refinance.<br />
• Reputable mortgage brokers<br />
work in your best interest to provide<br />
transparent information to give<br />
you peace of mind. Louise advises<br />
customers to go onto websites, read<br />
potential brokers’ profiles, choose 3–4<br />
brokers to ring and ask questions to see<br />
if they are relatable and a good fit.<br />
Louise’s tips for getting a mortgage<br />
approved include having good account<br />
conduct, keeping up payments,<br />
limiting debt and cash withdrawals,<br />
avoiding overdrafts, Afterpay and<br />
regular gambling.<br />
Utilising a mortgage broker can be<br />
a wise decision when navigating the<br />
complex world of borrowing. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
offer expert guidance, give access to<br />
multiple lenders, save time and money<br />
and help you secure the best mortgage<br />
deal for your needs and financial<br />
circumstances.<br />
