Lenders and brokers

Lenders and brokers are among the companies and services that you will most likely be dealing with as a first home buyer.

Types of Lenders

There are different types of home loan lenders. Each have pros and cons, and you’ll need to decide which one suits your needs. Banks are, of course, a most commonly-known lender. But there is a vast range of mortgage-lending services for you to choose from. Credit unions also provide mortgage-lending services, as do some other specialist “non-bank” mortgage lenders. Many Aussies default to their current bank for a home loan because it seems like the simplest option - but there could be another loan out there that is more suited to your needs, so it’s worth considering other options. For more information, see Types of Lenders.

Brokers

As Aussie Mortgage Brokers, we will help you find the right home loan by understanding your needs and goals. We work with you at every stage of the process - from our very first chat through to settlement and compare thousands of loans from our panel of lenders to find a loan that’s right for you. We can also negotiate a competitive deal for a home loan on your behalf!

For more information, check out our Mortgage Brokers 101 fact sheet. Or give us a call! We’re here to help you navigate the thousands of home loans out there, to find the right one for your situation.

Proud Aussie Moments

Hear from our customers who bought their first home with the help of Aussie.

"Dragan was an absolute champ, we previously visited other banks and they basically just turned us down straight away and were no help. As First Home Buyers he helped us out so much and explained to us what we can and can't do with the variety of banks and our borrowing power. Aussie saved us so much more time and money as we didn’t have to hassle with other banks and lenders. He took all our information within one meeting then found us the best deal and bank to deal with in our situation which led me and my partner buying our first home! "
