I am looking for a new broker, one who will provide “service”, by service I mean
Call me if they have a need for further information,
Document any proposals to the extent that the benefits, costs (i.e. duties and fees) and issues are detailed.
Act genuinely in assisting to grow my wealth and in turn there’s, not the other way around.
Act in a timely and efficient manner.
I live on the South Side of Brisbane and work in Milton. So some one with Qld knowledge would be preferred. (Although I hold mostly Victorian properties)
Any help would be appreciated on how I would assess a good broker from a lazy one upfront , rather than learn the hard way as I have just done. Having provide all my details, tax returns payslips etc. 3 months on I have not had one written letter on how they could help only a Mortgage Variation Checklist with highlighter marks of “sign here” giving authority to XYZ with my current lender to do more of the same.
I have a couple of fixed term loans expiring and need to do some real homework based on the knowledge gained from the forum.
Given your expectations I think you should consider contacting Mel on this forum. I am sure she will give what you need and more. She is in your area as well.
Whichever broker you choose remember that communications goes both ways. The broker needs to know your expectations and what you need in your finance to be able to meet your needs.
Comments may not be relevant to individual circumstances. If you intend making any investment, financial or taxation decision you should consult a professional adviser.
We are based in Milton and have been in the industry for over 20 years. If you would care to contact me off the forum please email me and i would be happy to see if we could assist.
Bank and brokers are the real hinderance to wealth creation. We too have had poor service from brokers particularly now as our portfolio starts to grow and with everyone jumping on the bandwagon to get rich through property, I think our broker thinks that many small fish are better than one larger one. After all, its a numbers game. It is taking over two weeks even before it gets to the banks and the last application meant that we had to seek extension of time for our finance.
Ome thing I have found in respect of communication, more so through the forum, is that a good broker should help develop the right fit from asking questions as some times we dont know what we really need, as we dont know what is out there. If they are not asking question it is hard to give answers.
I’ve had some great experience working with NFC in Brissy and can pass on some names and numbers.
Basically, they’ve got virtually every mortgage/investment loan product in the country covered as best I can tell, everything from prime to sub-prime lenders, so if there’s a loan out there you qualify for (which I suppose is likely if you’re posting on these boards) they’ll help you out with all the options.
Thanks for the tip Mortgage Hunter – haven’t been online for two days, was in Melbourne listening to a developer Peter Comben, who’s a friend of Steve’s, and was totally inspired AND am thoroughly delighted that the Lions get another opportunity for glory!! []
