Common questions about our home loan services

Is it better to use a mortgage broker or go straight to my bank for a home loan?
A mortgage broker can compare loans from multiple lenders and help you find a product that suits your situation, while a bank will only offer its own loans. Brokers can often save you time and may access policies that fit non‑standard incomes, but some people prefer the simplicity of dealing with their existing bank directly. It’s usually worth speaking to a broker and your bank to compare options and see who explains things more clearly for you.
Do mortgage brokers in Geelong charge fees for home loans?
Most residential mortgage brokers in Australia are paid a commission by the lender, so they typically don’t charge a direct fee for standard home or investment loans. Some may charge a fee in complex situations, like small loans or unusual circumstances, and should disclose this upfront. It’s important to ask the broker exactly how they’re paid and whether any fees apply in your case.
How do mortgage brokers get paid and does that affect the loan they recommend?
Mortgage brokers are usually paid an upfront commission and a smaller trailing commission by the lender you choose. They are legally required to act in your best interests when recommending a loan, and must explain why a particular product is suitable. You can ask them to outline what each lender pays them so you understand any potential conflicts and how they manage them.
What does a mortgage broker actually do during the home loan process?
A mortgage broker assesses your financial situation, compares home loans from different lenders, and recommends suitable options. They help you with the application paperwork, liaise with the lender, and guide you through pre‑approval, full approval and settlement. Many also assist with restructuring or refinancing in future if your needs change.
What documents do I need to bring to my first meeting with a mortgage broker?
You’ll usually need photo ID, recent payslips or tax returns, details of existing loans and credit cards, information about your savings and other assets, and a summary of your living expenses. If you’ve already found a property, bring the contract of sale and any real estate details. Having these ready helps the broker estimate how much you can borrow and which lenders are likely to approve you.
