How we make a difference

I'm a 'can do' professional with a strong belief that service is personal. My role is to make things simple for you, so you can focus on doing what you love ! It's why I go the extra mile for my clients.

Better still, we don’t charge to find the right loan for you. We are paid by the lender once your loan settles. In some limited circumstances your broker may charge a fee, which would be discussed with you before proceeding. We're your mortgage broking team for the Brimbank-Melton area of Melbourne.

We recognise that the home loan market is complex and sophisticated, and our core purpose is to get you a home loan in a simple and convenient manner for you.

We've been helping people from all walks of life with different kinds of lifestyle and financial needs. 15 years of experience goes into everything I do for you.

We help first home buyers, investors and customers looking to 'health check' or refinance an existing loan when their circumstances change.

We also love finding solutions to complex loan scenarios – such as family equity loans, interest only loans, lending to trusts and businesses.

When we find a home loan to suit you, it's like having over 20 lenders competing for your business!

Whether it's your first home or investment property or you're wishing to relocate to another area or wanting to look at refinancing options for your existing loan, we're here to help.

Buying your first property

It's commonly believed that you need a large deposit to buy your first home or investment property.

Did you know that, depending on your circumstances, a deposit as low as 5% could be enough to get your foot in the door?

Let's talk about making your first property purchase stress-free and enjoyable.

Extra Information

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,650 depending on the number of children you may have.

Stamp duty concessions in NSW

From 1 August 2020, the NSW government has announced that stamp duty will not be applicable to first home buyers for properties valued up to $800,000 and vacant land valued up to $400,000. This stamp duty exemption will be in place for 12 months to 31 July 2021, in which the stamp duty exemptions will revert back to $650,000 for homes and $350,000 for land.

Additionally, a concessional rate of duty will apply to homes valued more than $800,000 but less than $1,000,000 and vacant blocks of land valued more than $400,000 and less than $500,000

How much is the First Home Owners Grant NSW?

The FHOG in NSW is worth $10,000 however conditions apply. To be eligible, your first home must have a total value below $600,000, and be either newly constructed or ‘substantially renovated’. A home is substantially renovated when most or all of the original house was removed or replaced, and it’s the first time the place has been sold, and lived in, after the renovations were completed.

If you plan to build a new home from scratch, you can still be eligible for the FHOG in NSW as long as your land plus the home you build have a combined value of less than $750,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant in the NT?

As of 30 June 2021, there are currently no stamp duty concessions for first home buyers in NT.

Previously the Territory’s First Home Owner Discount was in place from 8 February 2019 to 30 June 2021. It let you save up to a maximum of $18,601 on the cost of stamp duty. The savings were available whether you purchased a new or established home as long as the home was valued under $650,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant QLD?

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant. To be eligible, you need to buy a brand new home or build a home from scratch with the total value (including the land) below $750,000. You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

As a guide, substantial renovations include replacing or altering foundations or replacing or altering floors. Cosmetic work such as painting the walls or sanding floors doesn’t add up to a substantial renovation when it comes to the FHOG in QLD.

Concessions are available for vacant land valued above $250,000 and up to $400,000. Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $7,175 which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in QLD.

Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $530,000, you pay stamp duty of $6,300 a saving of $3,500. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more.
