Steps to Buying Your First Home
As a mortgage broker for first-home buyers, we guide you through the entire process.
Here’s how:
- Work Out Your Borrowing Power : Before you start house-hunting, we’ll help you understand how much you can borrow based on your income, expenses, and deposit. This gives you a realistic budget and stops you from falling in love with homes outside your price range.
- Check First Home Buyer Grants & Schemes : Many first-home buyers can access government incentives to help with the costs of buying a
home. We’ll check if you qualify for:- First Home Owner Grant
- Stamp duty exemptions or discounts
- First Home Guarantee (low deposit schemes)
- Compare Loan Options & Find the Best Deal : Not all loans are the same! We compare lenders to find a loan that fits your goals—whether you want low repayments, flexible features, or a fixed rate for certainty.
- Get Pre-Approved : Pre-approval shows sellers and real estate agents that you’re a serious buyer. It also gives you confidence when making an offer. We handle this for you, making the
process smooth and simple. - Find Your Dream Home : Once you’re pre-approved, it’s time for the fun part—house hunting! We can connect you with trusted professionals for property inspections and legal checks to make sure
you’re making a smart investment. - Final Loan Approval & Settlement : When you find the one, we take care of the application and bank approvals so you can focus on moving in and celebrating!

FAQs for First Home Buyers
The right loan depends on your financial situation, budget, deposit, and goals. We compare fixed, variable, and government-backed loans from over 40 lenders to find the right
fit for you.
Generally, a 20% deposit is ideal, but some lenders accept as little as 5%, or even $0 with options like LMI waivers, home guarantees and government grants to assist. We can help you find how much deposit you need for your goals and help you work on a savings plan to get there.
Start by setting a budget, researching areas, meeting with experts such as a mortgage broker and getting pre-approved. We guide you through every step, ensuring you make the right decision.
