Transforming finances with our expert refinance mortgage broker: one client’s success

Our client’s journey so far…

Our client is a homeowner who had not reviewed their loan in approximately eight years. They were in a steady employment situation and single.

This background provided a stable foundation and indicated potential opportunities for improvement in their mortgage terms. This was because of the long duration since their last loan review.

Client's concerns and goals: overcoming financial stagnation

When the client first reached out, they felt stuck with their current home loan.

They were sceptical about qualifying for a better home loan. They assumed their financial situation had not significantly changed to warrant a better offer.

Their primary goal was to explore if there were any possibilities for refinancing to achieve more favourable loan terms.

Steps taken to refinance: what was our approach to refinancing?

Understanding the need for personalised service, we initiated the refinancing process with a comprehensive discussion about the client's financial situation. 

During a 6:30pm phone call on a Saturday night, we discussed their employment status, gross annual income, and estimated house value. We also confirmed their current home loan rate and balance.

In just a few minutes, we realised there was significant potential to secure much better terms for their home loan!

We pride ourselves on our flexibility and commitment to our clients. We offer consultations at times that suit them, even outside typical business hours.

Unlike traditional banks, we don't close our doors at 5pm; we're genuinely dedicated to helping our clients find the best possible deals whenever they need us - weekends and after-hours included.

Tailoring the perfect loan solution: essential factors we must consider

When selecting a new loan for the client, we considered several crucial factors to ensure the best fit for their needs. These included the amount of the loan required, any requests for equity release, and the client's serviceability.

Additionally, we focused on securing a competitive interest rate and ensuring the new home loan offered essential features, such as redrawing facilities. 

These considerations were vital in tailoring a solution that aligned with the client's financial goals. They also provided added flexibility for future needs.

The refinancing process typically takes around three weeks from start to finish. 

Unlocking $10k in equity

As part of our refinancing process, we facilitated the release of $10,000 in cash by tapping into the equity available in the client's property.

The result? Our client now has the money to complete essential repairs to their property and pay out their credit card.

Their new home loan has lower repayments than the mortgage at the old rate and minimum credit card monthly commitment combined! 

This approach not only provided immediate funds but also leveraged the existing value of their home to achieve their financial goals.

Are you overpaying on your home loan?

It’s very common for homeowners to pay higher interest rates without realising it, particularly if their loan is more than two to three years old.

Market conditions change, and lenders often offer more competitive rates to new customers. This disadvantages existing borrowers unless they actively review their mortgage and refinance their loans.

Client's feedback and experience: from doubt to relief

The client initially doubted their ability to refinance but was ultimately very happy and pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

They expressed immense relief at the dramatic improvement in their financial situation achieved in such a short period. This positive experience highlighted the value of exploring refinancing options.
