Work with us to select the right loan for you and request loan pre-approval. As your mortgage broker, we will take care of the application and paperwork. - Operation dream home
Let the fun commence! You now get to search for your new home, safe in the knowledge of how much you can afford to spend. - Assess and inspect
Organise building and pest or strata inspection on the home of your choice. - Make an offer
To buy through a real estate agent, make an offer and begin negotiating on price. To buy at auction, place a bid and hold your nerve! - Sign & exchange contracts
Once an offer has been accepted, contracts are signed and exchanged. At this stage, you will pay your deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price. - Cool off
You now have a few days to change your mind about the purchase. If you back out, you may forfeit some of your deposit. There are regional differences in cooling-off periods, and if you have bought at auction, you won’t have the option. Auction purchases are final! - Settle & celebrate
Settlement usually occurs four to six weeks following the exchange of contracts. The keys are handed over, and you are officially a home owner!
