Step-by-Step: What Happens When You Work with a Broker

Curious what actually happens when you engage a broker? Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:

  1. Initial Consultation — We get to know you, your goals, and your financial picture.

  2. Loan Strategy & Comparison — We compare products from 40+ lenders to find the best match.

  3. Pre-Approval (Optional) — If you’re house-hunting, we help secure a pre-approval to boost your confidence.

  4. Application Submission — We prepare your documents and manage the full submission process.

  5. Approval & Settlement — Once approved, we coordinate with your lender, conveyancer, and agent to ensure smooth settlement.

Throughout, we explain each step in plain language and stay with you post-settlement for ongoing support.

Behind the scenes, we also manage back-and-forth with banks, troubleshoot issues with assessors, and ensure every document meets policy requirements. That means fewer delays, fewer surprises, and a higher chance of approval—especially for complex scenarios like self-employed borrowers, non-residents, or multiple income streams.
