What is a mortgage adviser?
Mortgage advisers are financial advisers registered on the Financial Service Providers Register. I am  engaged by licensed financial advice providers or financial advice providers authorised under a financial advice provider licence. I am your advocate in the home loan selection process, helping homebuyers to pre-qualify for a home loan, select a home loan and complete the required mortgage documents. I can assist clients by interacting with lenders to organise finance for new home purchase, purchase of investment properties, refinancing clients’ home loans.

By virtue of having access to banks, other financial institutions and private lenders, mortgage advisers offer consumers access to a wide range of home loan choices as I select the right home loan for your needs.

Consumers receive an expert mentor, in form of a mortgage adviser, to lead them through the complex home loan lending process. The mortgage adviser offers the consumer the convenience of doing all the leg work to access an affordable home loan while balancing the consumer's financial interests and goals.
