Buying your first home is a HUGE milestone.

It’s exciting, nerve-wracking, and - let’s be real - a little overwhelming.

Banks, brokers, government schemes, hidden fees... it’s a financial jungle out there.

We specialise in helping first-home buyers in Hervey Bay get into their dream homes - without getting ripped off by the big banks.

We cut through the confusion, find you the best deal, and even GIVE YOU BACK a generous share of our broker commissions to help you save even more.

Want to own your first home and save thousands while doing it? Read on.

Step 1: Understanding First Home Buyer Loans (Without the Jargon)

A first home buyer loan is just like any other mortgage - except it’s designed specifically for people buying their first property.

Lenders LOVE first-home buyers because you’re fresh, new, and ready to commit to a long-term loan.

But here’s the catch…They’ll try to hook you in with attractive offers—only to hit you with hidden fees, higher interest rates, or loan structures that work in THEIR favour, not yours.

Our job? To make sure that doesn’t happen to you.We compare hundreds of loans, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure you’re getting a deal that actually helps you own your home faster - not just line the banks pockets.

Step 2: How Much Can You Borrow? (And How to Avoid Over-Borrowing)

Before you start picking out furniture or planning your housewarming party, you need to know how much you can actually afford to borrow.

Here’s a rough guide:

Most lenders will let you borrow 80–95% of a property’s value.If you have a 20% deposit, you can avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) - which can save you $10,000+.

If you have less than 20%, don’t stress! There are government grants and low-deposit home loan options that can help.

We crunch the numbers, show you exactly what’s possible, and help you set a budget that won’t leave you struggling to afford your morning coffee.

Step 3: Government Grants & Schemes - What You’re Eligible For

The government actually WANTS you to buy your first home.

So much so that they’re giving away free money to help you do it.

Here are some grants and schemes you might be eligible for:

First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)

What is it? A lump sum payment from the QLD Government to help first-home buyers.

How much? Up to $15,000.

Who qualifies? Buyers purchasing or building a new home under a certain price limit.

First Home Guarantee (FHBG)

What is it? A scheme that lets you buy with just 5% deposit - without paying LMI.

Who qualifies? First-home buyers with income under the program’s threshold.

Stamp Duty Concessions

What is it? A discount (or even a full exemption) on the stamp duty tax you’d normally pay.

How much can you save? Up to $15,925 in QLD.

We’ll check your eligibility and make sure you’re getting EVERY dollar you can from the government.

Step 4: Choosing the Right Loan (Fixed, Variable, Offset - WTF Does It All Mean?)

Here’s the deal: The right home loan isn’t just about the interest rate.

It’s about finding the right loan structure to fit your financial situation.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Fixed Rate Loan - Your rate stays the same for a set period (e.g. 2 - 5 years). Good for peace of mind but less flexibility.

Variable Rate Loan - Your rate moves up or down with the market. More risk, but often lower long-term costs.

Offset Account - A savings account linked to your mortgage that helps you pay less interest over time.

Redraw Facility - Lets you access extra payments you’ve made on your loan if you need cash later.

We’ll walk you through all the options and find a loan that actually works FOR YOU - not just the lender.

Step 5: The Buying Process (What to Expect & What to Watch Out For)

Buying your first home isn’t just about getting a loan - it’s a step-by-step process.

Here’s how it works:

Pre-Approval - We secure your loan approval so you can start house-hunting with confidence.

Find Your Property - Work with an agent or search privately for the perfect home.

Make an Offer & Sign a Contract - Negotiate the price and secure the deal.

Final Approval & Settlement - We lock in the loan and get you ready to move in!

And don’t worry - we’ll be right there with you for every step.
