We'll help you understand the loan types, grants and incentives to get you into your First Home

Buying your first home is likely to be one of the largest purchases you'll make. In Australia, First Home Buyers can take advantage of the current market conditions as well as generous Government Incentives (including the first home owner grant) to get on the property ladder.

We've worked with clients across Australia to access the different first home owner grants (FHOG) as well as the various stamp duty and other concessions that may be available depending on which state you are in. We can talk you through your various options as well as helping you compare things like buying vacant land vs. an established home. You may also be eligible for the Home Guarantee Scheme which can make a big difference in the type of property you may be able to purchase.

Understanding the process to buying your first home is critical as well as understanding how much you can borrow and how much you should borrow. We've been supporting First Home Buyers through the purchasing process for years and can help guide you through purchasing your first home.

We're a proud member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia and can help First Home Buyers right across Australia. If you're looking to buy your first home, we have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process and make the right choice.

She also really cares about getting the best outcome for her clients.. I felt that she treated me like a person and provided me with valuable education and guidance without putting me under any pressure while helping me with refinancing my mortgage. Look forward to working with you again Renee ????
