Process FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most often about how we work.

How long does the whole process take?

Typically 3-6 weeks from application to settlement, though this varies depending on the lender and complexity of your situation.

What documents will I need?

Generally: ID, payslips, bank statements, and tax returns. We'll provide a specific checklist based on your situation after our discovery call.

Is there a cost for your service?

In most cases, our service is free to you. We're paid by the lender upon settlement. We'll always be upfront about any fees before you proceed.

Can you help with complex situations?

Absolutely! Complex deals are our specialty – self-employed, SMSF, development, credit issues. That's where our banking experience really shines.

How do you choose which lender to use?

We compare 60+ lenders based on your specific needs – rates, features, serviceability, and approval likelihood. We recommend what's best for you, not what pays us the most.

What happens after settlement?

We stay in touch! We'll review your loan annually and keep you informed of better deals or opportunities to save money.
