Transitioning into homeownership or refinancing your current mortgage can be exciting, but navigating the mortgage market can feel overwhelming. The good news is, you don’t have to go it alone! A trusted mortgage broker is here to help you understand your options and make smart lending decisions. Here are eight reasons why working with a mortgage broker can benefit you:
Before you start house hunting, it’s essential to know how much you can borrow. A mortgage broker will help you understand your borrowing capacity based on your income, debts, and overall financial situation.
Why is this important? Knowing your borrowing power helps you set realistic expectations and avoid wasting time on properties you can’t afford.
The mortgage market is filled with hundreds of different lenders and loan products. A mortgage broker has access to a wide range of lenders and can help you find the loan that best fits your financial situation.
Why is this important? By comparing a variety of loans and lenders, you ensure that you’re not just getting the best deal but one that suits your needs in the long run.
Interest rates can make a huge difference in your monthly repayments and the total cost of your mortgage. A mortgage broker will help you find the most competitive interest rates available in the market.
Why is this important? A lower interest rate can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan, helping you keep more money in your pocket.
There are many features in loan products that may be of particular benefit to you, such as offset accounts, redraw facilities, or fixed-rate periods. A mortgage broker can help you choose the features that align with your financial goals.
Why is this important? Customising your loan with features that work for your needs can make managing your mortgage easier and more flexible.
A mortgage broker will help you explore the different repayment options available, whether it’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments, and guide you in selecting the one that best fits your cash flow.
Why is this important? Choosing the right repayment frequency can help you manage your finances more effectively and even reduce the overall interest you pay.
Buying your first home can be overwhelming, but a mortgage broker can guide you through every step of the process—from understanding government grants to choosing the right loan for first-time buyers.
Why is this important? Having an expert by your side ensures you make informed decisions, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process of securing a mortgage.
There are more costs involved in securing a mortgage than just the deposit. A mortgage broker will help you understand all the additional fees, including application fees, valuation fees, and lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI), so there are no surprises down the line.
Why is this important? Understanding all the costs upfront ensures you’re financially prepared and can make decisions without hidden surprises.
If you’re already a homeowner, refinancing your mortgage can be a smart move to lower your interest rates or consolidate debt. A mortgage broker helps you compare refinancing options and find a solution that works in your favour.
Why is this important? Refinancing can help you reduce your monthly payments, access equity, or improve your loan structure, giving you more flexibility in your financial life.

Dear Melody, I would like to thank you for all the advice you have given us over the past 13 years. We met when my parents were given advice by you when they were placed in Aged Care. As Executor of their Estate I had first hand knowledge of the expertise you brought to us. My husband and I have benefited from that expertise for the years since, as we placed our financial affairs in your hands. Michael Nowland2023-11-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Years ago, a present Evalesco advisor had given excellent advice for my parents in law, who needed to be placed in aged care. My wife and I visited Melody Edwards as a result. We placed our financial management in her care. Later Melody joined Evalesco. Those decisions has been of great benefit to us. Her professional approach and clear advice has been highly appreciated. We highly value the personal and professional relationship with Melody, Evalesco and their seminars. We have had peace of mind and financial benefit and stability for the whole time.
