Are you thinking about a fresh start in 2026?

Do you want to take control of your future, build your own business, and help people achieve their financial dreams?



As the State Relationship Manager for the MoneyQuest Group in South Australia, part of my role is to recruit and support the next generation of mortgage brokers — and in 2026, I’m looking for people who are ready to step up.

If you have:

✔️ A strong personal or professional network (your “little black book”)

✔️ A genuine desire to help people buy their dream home or build wealth through property

✔️ A passion for finance, service, and creating your own success

✔️ Ambition to run your own business and be in charge of your own destiny

… then mortgage broking could be the perfect career for you.



At the Money Quest Group, you won’t be alone.

You’ll be supported by a community of 130+ brokers in South Australia, including:

Keylend – a combination of brokers who trade under their own brands or are located within our office trading as Keylend.

Bernie Lewis – one of the state’s most trusted consumer brand names.

MoneyQuest Franchise – for those interested in a turnkey business solution with a brand-backed business model.

Money Quest Group – complete flexibility if you prefer to build your own identity and brand.



There’s no ceiling on your earning potential, and you can shape your broking business the way you want — from solo operator to franchise owner.

Whether you are a banker transition into broking, a loan writer looking at starting your own business or someone who is new to the industry, we have solutions for you.



To get started, you’ll just need the Certificate IV in Mortgage Broking, which you can complete:

📍 Face-to-face in Adelaide as a fast-track program

📍 Or online at your own pace over the holidays



If 2026 is your year to take a leap and build something of your own, I’d love to talk.



📩 Send me a message

📞 Or reach out directly if you’d like to explore what your broking career could look like — whether as a broker, a business owner, or even a MoneyQuest franchisee.

Your future business could start with one conversation.

🙌 4 ways to save up a deposit sooner 🙌⁣

It takes 5.6 years on average to save a 20% deposit, according to recent PropTrack data.⁣

But why wait that long if you don't need to? Here are 4 ways you could save up a deposit sooner.⁣

✅ Pay LMI: some lenders accept a 5% deposit if you pay lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).⁣
✅ Get a guarantor: can a close relative guarantee your loan? It could let you buy with a 5% deposit and no LMI.⁣
✅ The First Home Guarantee scheme: the government guarantees your loan, so you can buy with a 5% deposit and zero LMI.⁣
✅ Use your super account: fast-track your savings by making use of the First Home Super Saver Scheme.⁣

🤳 TikTok vs talking to your broker 🤳⁣

TikTok and Instagram Reels are fun, fast and free.⁣

But if you’re looking for help with your home loan it's important not to just take information you discover during a random scroll as gospel.⁣

Try to stick with posts from a licensed Australian mortgage broker. 👍⁣

We have strict rules to follow on social media.⁣

But you obviously can't control what's fed to you by the algorithms. ⁣

So if you do come across financial content created by people based outside Australia, just know that in many countries the rules are far less rigid, different, or non-existent at all.⁣

If you're ever in doubt about what you've seen, pick up the phone and give us a call.⁣

Sure, we’d (probably) lose in a dance-off against your average TikTok creator. 😅⁣

But we can provide you with home loan information tailored to your situation. 👇⁣

🤔 Is now a good time to buy? 🤔⁣

One-in-three people don't think so, according to PropTrack research (which means about two-in-three do). 😅⁣

If you're in that one-in-three group: rest assured it’s natural to have doubts - a home is a big commitment after all.⁣

But uncertainty can mean sitting on the fence much longer than you need to.⁣

And the longer you delay, the more house prices may rise. 📈⁣

So how do you know when's the ‘right’ time to buy?⁣

The short answer is: it's when you’re ready to do so.⁣

Call us today to find out if you’re home loan-ready - finding out might just give you that extra confidence you need to take the leap. 👇⁣

💪 First home owners rewarded with capital gains 💪⁣

If you’ve purchased a first home recently, you could already be ahead in the capital growth stakes.⁣

First home buyers often target the more affordable end of the market.⁣

And CoreLogic says the cheapest 25% of the market saw price growth of 2.7% in the 3-month period to August. 📈⁣

By comparison, the top 25% saw gains of just 0.3%.⁣

It goes to show that the sacrifices of saving for a first home can be well rewarded.⁣

😎 Are you auction-ready? 😎⁣

The spring market is ramping up - and so are sales by auction.⁣

✅ Understand your borrowing power⁣
👍 Have your home loan pre-approved⁣
🔨 Arrange a pre-purchase inspection to avoid unwanted repair bills⁣
🙌 Attend other auctions to get a feel for how they work.⁣

✅ What to research when buying in a new development ✅⁣

Searches to ‘buy’ on popular listing sites are up 7% compared to last year, according to PropTrack data. 📈⁣

But with homes in tight supply, more buyers are looking at new developments.⁣

If that sounds like you, here's a quick initial checklist to run through.⁣

✅ Look into the developer’s and builder's track record.⁣
✅ Check out the estate’s masterplan to know what it offers.⁣
✅ How are the transport links?⁣
✅ Will the area have new schools and shops nearby?⁣

If it all looks like it's stacking up, contact us about finance. ⁣

We can run you through a range of loan options that are available when you buy/build a new home. 👇⁣

🏡 How might rate cuts affect home prices? 🏡⁣

Speculation is mounting that the next move for interest rates could be down.⁣

But if you're in the market to buy, be warned: this could lead to increased competition and push property prices up. 📈⁣

Home prices could jump 0.6% nationally - a rise of about $5,000 - in just the first month following a rate cut, according to a recent Ray White analysis.⁣

So, if you’re ready to buy now, why wait? 🤔⁣

Today’s market offers more choice than we’ve seen in over three years, according to CoreLogic.⁣

Your ideal home could be out there right now: and you might be able to comfortably afford it with your current borrowing capacity.⁣

Contact us today to find out your borrowing capacity. 👇⁣

😮 Where to buy a home with a $50,000 deposit 😮⁣

Good news if everywhere seems outside your budget.⁣

Below are a number of suburbs where it’s possible to buy a house or unit with a $50,000 deposit (according to Canstar):⁣

- Sydney: check out Wiley Park, Jamisontown or Liverpool.⁣
- Melbourne: consider Melton South or Brunswick West.⁣
- Brisbane: head to Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills.⁣
- Adelaide: consider Evanston, Elizabeth Sound, or Plympton.⁣
- Perth: think units in Belmont or East Perth.⁣
- Hobart: look at Clarendon Vale or Risdon Vale.⁣

Ask us about the Home Guarantee Scheme too. 🏡⁣

It can allow first home buyers to buy with just a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance. ⁣

Or 2% for single parents. 👇⁣

🙌 Home buyers shift strategies, more go solo 🙌⁣

A whopping 40% of first home buyers purchased a property on their own in the first six months of 2024, according to CommBank data.⁣

How did they do it? 🤔⁣

Well, apparently 45% of first home buyers are now using government-funded guarantees to get into the market.⁣

That means tapping into initiatives like the First Home Guarantee, which requires just a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance.⁣

Or 2% for single parents.⁣
