Strategic Mortgage Broking

Unleash the Power of Strategic Mortgage Broking for Long-Term Financial Success

While most lenders and mortgage brokers sell you a product and a rate, we prioritise setting up an effective mortgage strategy that will:  

  1. Allow you to hold property while acquiring new assets 
  2. Optimise tax deductions 
  3. Allow you to take control of your money management 
  4. Optimise the use of offset accounts 
  5. Support you to manage risk 
  6. Determine the right repayment strategy 

By working with our Strategic Mortgage Brokers and Private Banking team, you can be assured of selecting the right lender and obtaining a great rate across our network of over 40 lenders.

Our award-winning service is ongoing for the life of the loan, ensuring that you receive unparalleled support and guidance. 

Our expert strategic advice and personalised mortgage planning come at no cost to you. We are compensated by your chosen lender.

A faulty mortgage strategy will cost you from the day of settlement.
This cannot be reversed – only rectified from now!

How Are We Different?

Fiercely Independent Property Advice

We do not sell Property. We do not act on behalf of property developers, project marketers, selling agents, buying agents, or financial planners. We have zero location bias, as we no longer buy property, despite being one of the first buyer’s agencies from 2004 – 2011. Determine a strategy that is right for you, not your buyer’s agent location. We refer you to the best buyer’s agents across Australia, so your property strategy matches your Property Plan.

No Investment Products

We do not sell investment, financial or insurance products.

Bespoke for professionals

Your Property Plan and Mortgage Strategy is tailored to your unique circumstances.

Mortgage Strategy

Most lenders and mortgage brokers do not understand how your Mortgage Strategy can empower you to create wealth, manage risk and align with your Property Plan. Speak to someone who does more than sell products or interest rates.

We all know 3.9% is lower than 4%!

Learn how to 

  1. Optimise and preserve tax deductions
  2. Hold property as you accumulate
  3. Set up an effective Money Management System
  4. Manage risk
  5. Optimise the use of offset accounts
  6. Have an effective repayment strategy to support all of the above.
Lifestyle and Investment Strategy

It is vital that your lifestyle pathway is considered in conjunction with your investment pathway and not in isolation. Property is the only asset class we live in and most wealth is lost via property decisions that ignore the future home in your investment plans.

Property Plan

Get access to the first and only Property Planning platform in the country where you can craft and design your own Property Plan through to retirement to see how you can achieve your financial goals. The algorithm will help you uncover when you should buy and at what price point to achieve your goals, and you can map out different journeys, all with the guidance of one of our expert Property Planners.

Work with the creators of the Property Planning concept since 2004.

Unique Expertise

Our unique expertise has evolved over thousands of conversations since 2004. We know the questions that you need to ask to make superior decisions now and for the long-term.
