What questions should I ask a Brisbane mortgage broker?
When finding the best finance broker for you, you may want to ask mortgage brokers you’re considering working with about:
- The range of lenders and home loan providers they work with
- How they get paid, and what their commission structure is
- What their approval rate, or recent track record of securing loan approvals looks like.
Our team of brokers all have access to the same range of home loans and get paid in the same way, so no matter which of them you work with, you’ll be getting the fullest picture possible from us.
How much does a Brisbane mortgage broker cost?
Working with one of our expert mortgage brokers is totally free and doesn’t add any upfront or out-of-pocket costs to your home loan application process. We get paid by your lender, not you, leaving you to focus on your upfront homebuying costs like conveyancer fees and stamp duty.
How do mortgage brokers in Brisbane get paid?
Like mortgage brokers around the country, Brisbane mortgage brokers are typically paid by the lender via commission – usually as a set percentage of the settled loan amount. However, they may also earn trail commissions from the lender over time, which are ongoing returns from the settled loan.
Our mortgage brokers are salaried employees of Compare the Market. In addition to their salary, they may also receive a commission or incentive payment that is directly linked to the credit assistance they provide to you.
The commission or incentive paid to our mortgage brokers may be based on the successful settlement of your loan or other performance criteria. The commission is not paid by you, but by Compare the Market from the commission we receive from the lender.
Can mortgage brokers in Brisbane help first home buyers?
Our team of mortgage brokers are ready to help aspiring first-time homeowners in Brisbane achieve their new home purchase. We can also advise on home loan topics specific to first home buyers, including Queensland’s First Home Owner Grant and the First Home Guarantee (FHBG).
What types of home loans can our Brisbane mortgage brokers help with?
Our Brisbane mortgage brokers can help prospective property-buyers apply for a number of different types of home loans, including:
- Fixed rate home loans, which come with an unchanging interest rate for up to five years and restrictions on additional repayments.
- Variable rate home loans, which come with a fluctuating interest rate and no limits on making extra repayments.
- Split rate home loans, which allow you to mix and match the pros and cons of both variable and fixed interest rates.
- Investment home loans, which are designed specifically for the purpose of buying an investment property rather than a home for the buyer to live in.
- Refinancing, in which you replace your existing home loan with a different home loan from a different provider, usually with more favourable terms.
