Helping you

Buying your first home is one of life's biggest milestones, but knowing where to start can feel confusing. From understanding your borrowing power to navigating government schemes and finding the right home loan, I'm here to guide you every step of the way so you can buy with confidence.
Your journey to homeownership.
Buying your first home doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here's what the journey typically looks like when we work together.
Let's Chat
We start with a conversation about your goals, budget and timeline so I can understand exactly what you're looking to achieve.

Government support could help you buy sooner.
You may be eligible for government initiatives designed to make buying your first home more affordable. I'll explain which schemes may suit your circumstances and guide you through the eligibility requirements.

- Eligible buyers may purchase with only a 5% deposit.
- Avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
- Available through participating lenders, subject to eligibility criteria.
First Home Super Saver Scheme

Not sure which scheme is right for you?
Every buyer's circumstances are different. During our first conversation, I'll explain the available government initiatives, check your eligibility and help you understand which options may put you in the strongest position to purchase your first home.
It's not just your deposit.
Many first home buyers focus on saving their deposit, but there are a few other costs to consider when purchasing a property. Planning ahead can help avoid surprises.
Deposit
Your deposit is usually the largest upfront cost. Depending on the loan and any government support you're eligible for, you may not need a full 20% deposit.
Stamp Duty
Depending on your purchase price and your state, you may qualify for stamp duty concessions or exemptions as a first home buyer.
Legal & Conveyancing
A conveyancer or solicitor helps manage the legal side of buying your property and ensures settlement runs smoothly.
Loan Costs
Some lenders charge application or settlement fees, while others don't. I'll help you understand these costs before you commit to a loan.
No Hidden Surprises
One of my jobs is to help you understand exactly what costs to expect before you buy, so you can move forward with confidence and avoid unexpected surprises.
