Compare LoanBuddy
- What does a mortgage broker do?
- A mortgage broker reviews your needs, compares loans from their lender panel, helps prepare an application and communicates with lenders during the process.
- When might a mortgage broker be useful?
- A broker may help if you want assistance comparing loan options or navigating an application. You can also research and apply directly with lenders.
- Does a broker compare every home loan?
- Usually not. Brokers compare products from an approved lender panel, so ask which lenders they cover and whether suitable options may sit outside that panel.
- How do I check a mortgage broker's credentials?
- Check that the broker holds an Australian credit licence or is an authorised credit representative by searching ASIC's professional registers.
- What should I prepare before speaking to a broker?
- Prepare identification, income, expenses, debts, savings, deposit details, credit commitments and a clear idea of your property and repayment goals.
- What should I compare between mortgage brokers?
- Compare lender-panel breadth, fees, commissions, communication, experience with similar borrowers and how clearly each recommendation and its costs are explained.
