23.01.2022 Since the Royal Commission, lending has become increasingly more difficult to obtain. Loans that may have been approved 6 months ago, could very well be declined today, based on the fact that they don’t meet the lenders policy exactly i.e., don’t tick every box. Previously policy exceptions may have been made, however, this is becoming less acceptable today. It is so important to know before you apply to a lender for finance, that you meet ALL their criteria. This can only b...e achieved by looking at your full situation and based on this assessment, knowing which lender is going to have the policies to suit what you’re trying to achieve. This knowledge can only be achieved through experience and keeping in constant communication with lenders to know what their policy niches are. That is where I can assist, with access to over 40 lenders, I would be happy to meet with you and discuss your options. If you would like to discuss your situation, please don’t hesitate to call 0422 121 352. My assistance comes with NO obligation and at No cost to you. See more

23.01.2022 Nice to hear some positivity for our region .. bring it on !!

23.01.2022 WILL COVID-19 DEFERRALS AFFECT YOUR CREDIT REPORT ? The Australian Banking Association has updated its guidance around the effect on your credit file, of taking up a financial hardship option, with your lender. It has now been agreed that any Australian who is granted a deferral on loan repayments on their mortgage or other credit products, such as a credit card, will not have their credit rating affected as a result of that deferral (provided they were up to date with repayments prior to COVID-19). If you require financial relief, it is imperative that you contact your lender as soon as possible. Your lender should help you consider the options that are available to you, based on your personal circumstances. Lenders financial hardship policies do vary and if you would like my assistance, please don’t hesitate to call.

22.01.2022 Did you know that your borrowing capacity can vary between lenders? All lenders have their own calculators and asses at different rates, which could mean while one lender says NO another may say YES. Don’t make the mistake of just discussing you lending options with your bank. It may be that you don’t tick all their policy boxes eg. they require a higher deposit, or you’ve just started a new job. But hat doesn’t mean your situation won’t be acceptable to another lender.... Protect your credit score by applying to the lender with the best chance of success and suitability the first time. With over 40 lenders I have access to plenty of choice and we can always approach your preferred bank, if they are suitable. If you would like to discuss your situation, please don’t hesitate to call 0422 121 352. My assistance comes with NO obligation and at No cost to you See more

22.01.2022 Now that the vacancy rate is below three per cent, we can safely say the market is in a recovery phase with landlords now the beneficiary of the current rental environment," says REIWA President, Damian Collins.

22.01.2022 As we move into the festive time of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. Stay safe, relax and enjoy your time with family and friends. I look forward to catching up with you in 2019. Maree

22.01.2022 Have your rates increased recently? Even though the reserve bank has kept rates on hold, many lenders have increased rates over the past few months. BUT not all lenders rates are the same and you may be eligilble for a better deal! Some lenders are also offering cash back incentives if you refinance your home loan with them up to $2,000 from one lender. With access to over 40 lenders, and new products available in the market on a regular basis, there could be a more suitable deal for you. If you would like a review of your home loan, please don’t hesitate to call 0422 121 352. My assistance comes with NO obligation and at No cost to you.

21.01.2022 Reserve Bank leaves official cash rate rates unchanged at 1.5%. However regardless of this, lenders continue to regularly change their rates .. have you checked your loan statements lately to see what you are paying??? If you're a little surprised/shocked by what you see and would like to discuss, please call for a no obligation free chat and lets see if we can change that frown to a smile. :( to :)

21.01.2022 Repayment holiday (COVID-19 Buzz word) - What exactly does this mean? There really is no such thing as a 'repayment holiday'. While it is true that you may be able to pause your repayments for an agreed period of time, what’s not true is that you can pause the interest on these loans. If you choose a lender's financial hardship option to pause your repayments, they simply add the missed interest and fees to the loan amount. The end result is that you will owe more to the bank... at the end of the "repayment holiday" and have to payback more. Depending on your personal circumstances, pausing loan repayments may absolutely be the right option for you. However, it is important to talk to your lender, about what other options you may have. These may include: a rate reduction, reducing your repayments to the minimum required, using funds in an offset account or redraw where you have made extra repayments in the past, temporarily switching your loan to interest only etc. Of course, you should check the exact hardship policies of your lender as these do vary. Most lenders will have this available on their website. Determining what is the best option for you, requires a good discussion with your lender about your current situation and what you expect to happen. Please feel free to contact me if you need further assistance. Maree See more

Visit our page and send the government a message they need to hear - https://ww...w.brokerbehindyou.com.au/ Potential changes to broker remuneration are threatening the viability of the mortgage broker industry, without brokers you could face higher interest rates, fees and a reduced choice of lenders - this means less competition. 60% of borrowers now choose to use mortgage brokers, it's time to stand up and tell government that you support and value mortgage brokers. #yourbrokerbehindyou #dontkillcompetition

11.01.2022 This is a MUST READ ... if you are thinking of applying for a home loan. In the current financial climate, every move you make is being scrutinised. Personal spending habits on things like clothes, holidays, Netflix and Uber Eats are becoming a factor when a bank considers a loan application. However simple changes can make a huge difference. Being prepared before applying for a loan and making easy changes to your lifestyle in the months preceding a credit application can make all the difference. If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to give me a call 0422 121 352. Maree

11.01.2022 YES rates are on hold AGAIN. BUT with lenders continuing to review rates independently of the RBA, it is important to review your lending options regularly. Lenders consistently offer reduced rates for new business, that they generally do not offer to existing clients. As such it is important to have your loans reviewed on a regular basis. Don't throw away your hard earned money to a bank, through complacency. If you would like to discuss further, please call 0422 121 352. Maree

09.01.2022 Friends and family, we need your help! For reasons we struggle to understand and despite significant data that overwhelmingly supports our industry, the final Royal Commission Report has recommended changes to the Mortgage Broking Industry. Please do not be complacent and think this will not affect you these changes will affect everyone. Please take a moment to support an industry that supports YOU, by signing the petition. An industry that supports YOU by providing grea...t service, real choice and by keeping competition alive we keep YOUR mortgage costs down. We work for YOU and not the banks and we negotiate for what’s right for YOU, not what’s right for the banks. The reforms recommended with regards to our Industry, will give the banks more power than ever and threaten to destroy the Mortgage Broking Industry along with competition. Less competition = less choice = more cost to YOU. Thank you for your support. Maree See more
