100.

Thank you to all our wonderful clients and experienced staff who are the reason we have been able to achieve this fantastic result of 100% Home Loan Approvals for 2013 + 2014 + 2015.

Talking to and understanding our clients’ requirements plus being able to speak directly to the senior people within the Banks who are not only willing to use “Common Sense” and actually have the authority to say “Yes” is the key to achieving this level of success over such a extended period of time.

Does this mean that every person who asks for a new Home Loan can be approved ???

Our Mortgage Specialists have and are continuing to help many hopeful homebuyers who are not currently in the position to be approved for a Home Loan. By providing ongoing advice and assistance our Mortgage Specialists can empower  these potential borrowers to understand “What the Banks are looking for” and learn “What actions they need to take” to improve their financial standing and  put themselves in a stronger position to be approved for a Home Loan.

March 10, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts

Broker vs BankWhy are more and more people seeking their new Home Loans via Mortgage Brokers rather than their Bank?

BANK:      Once your Home Loan has commenced you will be referred by the bank manager to the bank’s websites & call centres for any ongoing service requirements

 

BROKER: Your Mortgage Specialist will conduct reviews of your Home Loan and will inform you “How to achieve lower interest rates” if other Banks are offering better deals

BANK:       The Bank will not inform you if a competitor Bank has a superior loan product

 

BROKER: Is paid by the Bank not the client (i.e. Broker Commissions are NOT added on to your Home Loan)

Now is a great time for Borrowers to use the record low interest rates to own their Home sooner.

Many Banks will automatically reduce your Home Loan repayments when Interest Rates fall.

1. Pay off your Home Loan faster
2. Reduce your current + future interest costs
3. Create a “Buffer” which you may be able to redraw in the future if / when required
4. Own your Home sooner

Making your money work for you now whilst rates are low will save $$$ now and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the future.

Banks divided over next rate decision

January 28, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts, Rate Rises

ipad-art-wide-big-banks-420x0

The Senior Economists of Australia’s major banks appear to be divided in their predictions relating to whether the Reserve Bank will reduce interest rates when the RBA Board meets on Tuesday.

The differences in predictions relate to the latest report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics confirming significant falls in the price of fuel have reduced the quarterly CPI growth to only 0.2% resulting in a lower than expected Inflation Rate of 1.7% for the year.

As a result of the low inflation figures several of the Banks are predicting the Official Cash Rate will remain at the current level of 2.5% until late 2015 whilst their competitors are anticipating the RBA will reduce rates by 0.25% p.a. in February followed up by a 2nd rate drop in March.

The great news for borrowers is that no-one is predicting any rises in the near future to the record low interest rates we are enjoying today.
