Why a broker?

One person in your corner, with the whole market behind them.

Arranging your largest-ever financial transaction is a huge undertaking. Here's why over 70% of Australians now put a broker between themselves and the banks.

A mortgage broker compares loans from many lenders (SCF Brokerage has 20+ on panel), is legally required to act in your best interests, and costs you nothing, the lender pays on settlement. Going direct to a bank gets you one lender's products; a broker gets you the market.

FAQs

Broker questions, answered.

Why use a mortgage broker instead of going to my bank?
Your bank can only offer its own products. A broker compares loans from many lenders, we have access to more than 20, with no loyalty to any single one. And unlike a bank, a broker is legally required to act in your best interests. It's why over 70% of Australians arranging home finance now choose a broker.
How do mortgage brokers get paid?
We're paid a commission by the lender when your loan settles, our service costs you nothing. The best-interests duty means our recommendation must suit you, not the commission.
Is a broker's loan more expensive to make up for the commission?
No. You pay the lender's advertised, often better-than-advertised, rate, because brokers know which lenders are sharpening their pencils and can negotiate. The commission comes from the lender's marketing budget, not your pocket.
