He actually took the time to go through my financial situation and discuss strategies with me — something other brokers I spoke to didn’t really do. Even though my case was high LVR, the loan was approved within 2 months of our first contact. He was incredibly patient with all my overthinking and endless questions, and never once made me feel rushed. Couldn’t recommend Dougal more highly.

Communication was great from the start to the end with a great result. Dougal and the team know what they’re talking about and made the experience smooth and stress free.

Had a really great experience working with Dougal. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Always quick to answer questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!
We can help with Home and Investment Loans, Construction Loans, Car Loans, Personal Loans and much more. If you're looking to borrow to buy something, we can probably help.
Mortgage Brokers are there to help you find the right loan whether it be from the major banks, smaller lenders or other sources. We have a broad range of products (more than any single lender can offer) which means we can do all the legwork to find the right loan for you.
Of course! Refinancing is a big part of what we do. We compare loans across a panel of 30+ lenders so you can see how your current loan stacks up on rate, fees and structure. What's right depends on your situation — and there's no cost to you, as the lender pays us at settlement.
We love helping First Home Buyers! We're experts at the entire process and can help you get the right Home Loan. We're also across the various schemes to help First Home Buyers such as the First Home Owners Grant and the various stamp duty exemptions available.
All of our Mortgage Brokers are accredited and members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. They are extremely professional and provide exceptional service across a range of lending options.
We take look at a wide range of products available from Banks, Credit Unions & other lenders across the country. This means we can search thousands of products and make sure we're always recommending the best Home Loans for our clients.
