First home buyers

Do we help first home buyers? Absolutely. First home buyers are the ones who need our help the most. Buying your first property is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, usually with the least experience and the most at stake.

We take you from strategy and budget through to settlement:

  • A clear plan for what you can afford and where the numbers make sense
  • Guidance on buying a home to live in, or rentvesting (renting where you want to live and buying where the data says to buy)
  • Independent due diligence, so you don't overpay or buy a problem property
  • Negotiation on your behalf, so you're not up against the selling agent alone
  • Working alongside your mortgage broker and conveyancer through to settlement

Same fixed fee, same money-back guarantee until your purchase goes unconditional.
