Mortgage Brokers Save You As Many Hours As 40+ Hours (Or For The Average Aussie, $1,950 In Your Time!)

By Krishna Strickland - Mortgage and Finance Broker

When life is already full on with work, school runs, family and just trying to breathe, the last thing you want is more admin.

That's where I step in.

As a mortgage broker dealing with busy professionals and families throughout Australia, my role is not merely to secure you a competitive home loan. My role is to return your time to you. And based on the most recent industry study, using a mortgage broker such as myself can save you 40+ hours during your home loan experience.

Where Do All Those Hours Come From?

Let's have a look at the numbers:

1. Researching Lenders and Loan Products (10-15 hours saved)

There are more than 100 lenders in the Australian marketplace, with dozens of products each. You could spend days sifting through interest rates, fees, features and loan structures and that's before trying to determine what actually works for your circumstances.

I do that for you. Fast. Smart. And with the right software.

2. Understanding Eligibility and Policy Requirements (5-7 hours saved)

Not all lenders are equal in how they treat income, debt or self-employment. Policy can be a minefield and one misstep can result in an application that's declined or, at best, a lower borrowing capacity.

I pre-screen your details and take you directly to those lenders who are likely to say “yes”. 

3. Application Submission & Documentation (10-12 hours saved)

Completing forms, uploading reams of paperwork, chasing verification, it mounts up.

I simplify the whole process with an online onboarding software, making it easy for you to collect and upload everything at once with step-by-step instructions along the way.

4. Liaising With Lenders, Banks & Solicitors (10+ hours saved)

Rather than you being on hold with the bank or playing email ping pong with solicitors/conveyancers, I conduct all the to-and-fro. I keep it all on track and your file moving forward so that you can get on with your life.

5. Post-Approval Support & Repricing (3-5 hours saved)

Even once settled, I remain with you. From reviewing whether your lender's rate stays competitive, to assisting with refinancing or further loans in the future, you won't be left to look after yourself.

What Could You Do With 40+ Extra Hours?

That's a week of work, or a few weekends spent with your loved ones or time restored in your day to unwind and recharge.

You don't need to become a mortgage guru to purchase your ideal home or to make a good financial decision. When you're working with a mortgage broker who knows your objectives, respects your time and truly takes the pressure off, the outcome does the talking.
