Frequently asked questions
If you haven't used a mortgage or finance broker before, you may have some questions about how it all works
1. What does a broker do?
We work with you to understand what you want to achieve, and then together we nut out a plan to make it happen. We help you understand how much you can borrow, and which loan products are available to you. Our job is to make sure you don’t take out a loan that’s not right for you.
We have access to over 40 lenders and are familiar with the ins and outs of their policies. This places us in a unique position to guide you to the loan products that are most suitable.
And of course, as you may be aware, the finance process can be convoluted, time-consuming and frustrating! We take the pain out of the process and do a lot of that hard yards for you.
2. Do you charge fees?
We don’t. While we’d love to say we do this work out of the kindness of our hearts, we’ve got to eat! It’s the lender who pays us a fee. The commissions we’re paid are almost identical across all lenders, so there’s certainly no financial incentive in recommending one lender over another.
3. Is your recommendation based on the commission?
Absolutely not. Besides the fact we want to be able to sleep at night, your interests are also covered by law. The mortgage and finance brokering industry has legislation called the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (or NCCP), that is designed to protect consumers and ensure ethical and professional standards in the finance industry.
We are required to present you with a selection of suitable loans from different lenders and tell you upfront what commission we will be getting. We take our responsibility to find you the best loan for your needs very seriously.
4. Is it more expensive to use a broker?
Definitely not. The costs of the loan are the same, whether you go through a broker or straight to the lender. In fact, in many cases, we’re able to negotiate a better outcome for you.
5. How much can I borrow?
The short answer is: it depends. Give us a call and we can walk you through your options. You can also start crunching the numbers yourself with our handy calculators.
6. Should I go with fixed or variable?
It really depends on what your needs are. Get in touch, and we can discuss how each type of interest rate would affect you.
7. What about if I don't live in Toowoomba?
That’s fine, we have clients all over Australia and are happy to meet up via Zoom. We also see clients all across our expansive state, so if you’re living in rural Queensland, we can either come to you or meet up remotely.
8. Which lenders do you deal with?
We have a broad range of lenders to choose from, from the Big 4, to credit unions, mutual banks and even private lenders – our strong lender relationships pave the way for a pain-free experience. Check out the lenders we’re experts on.
9. Why use a broker instead of just going to the bank?
It comes down to choice, support and convenience. We compare loans for a living, and help you decipher the fine print so you understand your options and can choose the most suitable one for you.
