Help with your finances, no matter where you're at.

The team at Mortgage Choice Richmond, Hawthorn & Kew are more than just your local home loan experts. We are passionate about supporting you at every step on your path to property ownership and financial growth.

Why should I use a mortgage broker?

Imagine being able to speak to 25 banks at once – with just one phone call. When you talk with your broker, you are in essence talking to 25+ banks simultaneously.  A good broker knows the varying policies of each lender and will report to you quite quickly which lenders will support your goals and what their requirements are.  Armed with an understanding of your financial situation they will research, calculate and negotiate with the lenders and present you with their findings so you can make the most informed choice for your home loan.

Our home loan service does not cost you anything because the lender will pay us a commission when your mortgage is organised. You’ll also be pleased to know this doesn't affect the deal you get from the lender, the interest rate and other aspects of the home loan will be the same if not better than going direct to the bank.

We first saw Scott when we were thinking of embarking on the daunting task of purchasing a property. Scott explains the process in a very easy to understand way to anyone who has no experience getting into the property market. He was also able to provide us with further advice when our circumstances changed and gave us hope that we will be able to purchase despite the change in circumstances.

Brilliant service. Scott kept the office open late to accommodate our schedule and clearly walked us through the steps we need to take towards owning our first home. Completely demystified the process and allayed our fears about such a huge commitment. Would highly recommend to any first time buyers wary of making the first step.

I'm so glad I have met Scott. He has a fantastic depth and breadth of knowledge in his field. He can think flexibly and creatively to develop solutions, which helped me address my complex circumstances. He is willing to drop everything to deal with immediate crises.

Scott also has excellent contacts. He put me in touch with great lawyersconveyancers and an outstanding buyer's advocate who saved me an enormous amount of money on my property purchase

I cant recommend Scott and Brianna from Mortgage Choice Richmond enough As a first time home buyer, they explained and supported me through the whole process - happily running different numbersscenarios, answering my questions, responding to lender requests, and keeping me updated throughout. They secured me a great interest rate - I got other opinions and no one could beat it.
