Why should you use a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker simplifies the loan process by offering access to multiple lenders, negotiating better rates, and providing expert, personalized advice. They save you time, help avoid pitfalls, and support you throughout the loan journey and beyond.

Advantages of using a mortgage broker:

  • Access to multiple lenders – Brokers compare loan options from various lenders, giving you a better chance at finding competitive rates and terms.
  • Expert advice – They simplify the complex mortgage process, guiding you on the loan structures and strategies to match your short- and long-term goals.
  • Time-saving – Brokers handle the research, paperwork, and negotiations, saving you the hassle of applying to multiple lenders yourself.
  • Tailored solutions – A broker assesses your financial situation and recommends loans specifically suited to your needs, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a business owner.
  • Support throughout the process – From pre-approval to settlement, brokers provide continuous updates and ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Better negotiation power – Brokers have established relationships with lenders and can negotiate better rates and terms on your behalf.
  • Specialized loan access – They can connect you with niche products such as loans for self-employed individuals, SMSFs, or unique investment properties that may not be available directly from banks.
  • Avoiding common pitfalls – With their expertise, brokers help you avoid costly mistakes, such as hidden fees, unfavorable loan terms, or unsuitable loan structures.
  • Pre-approval readiness – Brokers ensure all your documentation is in order, making the pre-approval process faster and smoother.
  • Ongoing relationship and support – Many brokers provide long-term support, advising on refinancing, debt restructuring, or new investments as your financial situation evolves.

Do I have to pay to use a broker?

There are a lot of misconceptions that mortgage brokers charge hefty fees. Generally, this is not the case. Typically a mortgage broker will be paid by the lender (i.e. no additional cost to you) in the following way:

UPFRONT PAYMENT PAID TO ME BY THE LENDER, NOT BY YOU.

A one-off payment called an upfront commission is usually between 0.65% to 0.7% of the loan amount (+gst). We do all the legwork to get your loan approved.

TRAIL PAYMENT PAID TO ME BY THE LENDER, NOT BY YOU.

‘Trail’ or ongoing commission is usually 0.15% p.a., based on the balance of your loan. We’ll be in regular contact with you to check in on your situation and make sure your loan continues to work hard for you, your changing situation and goals.

How that plays out

Let’s say you choose to take out a $500,000 loan with Bank ABC. Bank ABC pays me an upfront commission of $3,250 (+gst) and a trail commission of $$750 in the first year,$675 in the second year, $600 in the third year. The trail payment will continue until you pay off your loan or your loan is changed. It will also cease if your loan ever enters in to default or arrears.
