You’re in! Congratulations

Once you’ve settled in and worked out where the furniture looks best, it’s understandable that you’ll want to keep it spick and span. Check out our tips on home maintenance and costs so you can prepare yourself. It’s all part of the fun of home ownership and is where you can add (and keep!) your own personal touch.

And it’s wise to remember that you’ll now likely have extra costs that you’ll need to budget for, so we’ve created a really handy budget template to help keep you on track and to help you understand your outgoings.

Remember, while you take care of your home, your Aussie Broker is here to take care of your home loan. Life changes and your Aussie Broker is here to make sure your home loan is right for your needs, so we’ll keep in touch so you know we’re only a phone call or email away.

Proud Aussie moments

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

"Scott has great integrity. I have done two transactions with him and he was wonderful. The first time he stepped me through the process, explained things before they occurred and did all the heavy lifting. The second occasion when I was looking for another investment property I went to him for mortgage advice which he provided with respect and alliance."
