Why use a Mortgage Broker for Your First Home?

Many first-home buyers make the mistake of going directly to a bank to secure the best deal themselves. While banks offer a range of loan products, they are limited to their own offerings and cannot compare multiple lenders for you. 

At Sarah Rose Finance, we work for you, not the bank. Our job is to understand your unique situation, assess your borrowing power, and match you with a home loan that suits both your financial goals and lifestyle.

The Step-by-Step on Buying Your First Home

We’ve designed a step-by-step process to make the home-buying journey as simple as possible.

  1. Initial Consultation: We start with a free consultation to understand your goals, income, and current financial situation. This helps us determine your borrowing power and identify the loan types most suitable for you. 
  2. Pre-Approval: We lodge a pre-approval application with the lender(s) that match your needs. Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of what you can borrow, giving you confidence when making offers on your first home. 
  3. Property Search Guidance: While we’re not real estate agents, our expertise helps you evaluate properties based on your budget, future plans, and loan suitability. We make sure you’re not just buying a home, you’re making a strategic investment in your future
  4. Full Loan Application: Once you’ve found the right property, we prepare and lodge the full loan application, including all required documentation. We liaise directly with the lender to streamline the process and manage any conditions they may require.
  5. Approval and Settlement: After the lender assesses your application and satisfies all conditions, we guide you through the final approval and settlement process. This includes ensuring insurance is in place, funds are correctly allocated, and your transition into homeownership is smooth.

First home buyers FAQ

What’s the first step to buying my first home?

As a first home buyer, your first step is to book a free consultation. We’ll review your goals, borrowing power, and current lending situation. From there, we’ll create a tailored strategy to suit your needs.

Why should I use a finance broker instead of going directly to a bank for my first home purchase?

A broker works for you, not the bank. We compare multiple lenders and loan products to find the most suitable option for your needs. You’ll save time, often access better rates, and get ongoing support long after settlement.

Additionally, brokers are paid commission by lenders, meaning our services are typically free for clients. This won’t affect the rate or loan structure we recommend, as our top priority is always finding the best outcome for you.

What documents will I need to provide?

When applying for a home loan, generally you’ll need:

  • Proof of ID (driver’s licence, passport)
  • Recent payslips or income evidence
  • Bank statements
  • Details of assets and liabilities
  • Property details (if applicable)

Whatever outcome you’re looking for, we’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed for your application.

Do you only help local clients?

Although we are based on the Gold Coast, we can assist clients from all across Australia via phone, email, or video meetings.

What services do you offer?
We assist with a wide range of finance solutions, including:

  • Home loans and investment property loans
  • Car and asset finance
  • Business and commercial loans
  • Equity release for renovations or deposits
  • Loan reviews and refinancing
  • Borrowing power assessments and lending strategies
