Remember the first time you stepped into a gym? It\u2019s unlikely you swaggered your way over to the free weights rack and started busting out squats. Well, it turns out buying your first home can be just as daunting, with 91% of first-home buyers turning to a mortgage broker for guidance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to financial decisions, they don\u2019t come much bigger than buying a home.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s no wonder that plenty of first-home buyers feel a mix of nerves and excitement.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also understandable that\u00a0more than one-in-two first-home buyers<\/a>\u00a0feel the need for support throughout the home-buying process.<\/p>\n

And for nine out of ten first-home buyers, that valuable support comes from a mortgage broker, according to a recent report by lenders\u2019 mortgage insurance (LMI) provider, Helia.<\/p>\n

How a mortgage broker helps<\/h3>\n

Finding a home you like is just part of the home-buying equation.<\/p>\n

Identifying a home loan that is right for your needs, with a competitive rate, completes the picture.<\/p>\n

But without skilled help this can be easier said than done.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Helia survey<\/a>\u00a0found close to half (45%) of first-home buyers find it difficult to research which loans are right for them. More than one-in-two (52%) anticipate challenges in obtaining the loan they need.<\/p>\n

This is where mortgage brokers can help.<\/p>\n

We spend time getting to know you and your financial needs. This allows us to narrow down the choice of home loans that may be a good match for your needs.<\/p>\n

We also know what lenders look for when they approve a home loan.<\/p>\n

We can explain whether you\u2019re home loan ready right now, or discuss the steps you can take to help pave the way for home loan approval in the future.<\/p>\n

Better yet, we\u2019ll stay in touch to offer tips and encouragement along the way.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re about more than a home loan<\/h3>\n

The benefits of a mortgage broker go beyond helping you land a home loan.<\/p>\n

According to Helia\u2019s study, first-home buyers say mortgage brokers:<\/p>\n

\u2013 help home buyers understand their financial situation and borrowing power
\n\u2013 provide valuable support, guidance and expertise throughout the complex buying journey
\n\u2013 help save you time and effort.<\/p>\n

We can also tap into our wealth of experience to suggest strategies and schemes you may not have considered, such as rentvesting, having a close relative act as a guarantor for your home loan, or the federal government\u2019s 5% deposit\u00a0First Home Guarantee scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After all, there are multiple pathways to home ownership, and options such as rentvesting can open up new suburbs for you to buy in, while letting you live in the location of your choice.<\/p>\n
