“Every step made easy.”
That’s exactly what I hope for when someone comes to me for help with their home loan.
There can be a lot to navigate when you’re buying a home, and my job is to guide you through the process, answer your questions and keep things moving.
Thank you, Rhys, for taking the time to share your experience. I really appreciate your support.
If you’re thinking about buying a home or would like to talk through your finance options, send me a message. I’d be happy to help.

Your mate says one bank. Your parents say another. Someone on Facebook says you should fix your rate.
Everyone’s got a recipe for the perfect home loan. But they’re not all working with your ingredients.
I’m a chef now. I know these things.
Kath looks at your income, deposit, commitments and plans to help you understand which loan options could suit you.
Buying your first home, moving, investing or wondering whether your current loan still stacks up? You don’t need to have it all figured out before asking for help.
Message Kath here with what you’re planning and she’ll help you work out where to start.
Now, who’s in charge of tasting?

One email addressed to “Kath and Nelson” and I’ve got my own email address and laptop.
The attention has gone straight to my head.
Kath handles the mortgage advice. I handle supervision.
Buying your first home, moving, investing or reviewing your current loan? Kath can help you work through your options and make sense of what comes next.
Send her a message if you’d like a chat. You can address it to both of us. I’m part of the team.
I’d reply myself, but these paws aren’t built for typing.

Nelson Says…
I’m learning that “sit” and “stay” are very important.
Apparently, that’s good advice for puppies, but not necessarily for home loans.
If you’ve been sitting with the same lender and staying on the same rate for years, it might be time for a check-up.
A home loan review can confirm whether your current rate and loan are still working for you, or whether there may be a better option available.
Send Kath a message if you’d like her to take a look.
She’ll do the checking. I’ll supervise.

If you’re new here, you should probably know who’s really in charge.

Meet Nelson, our Chief Barketing Officer.

His responsibilities include attracting attention, supervising the office and reminding everyone when it’s time for a snack. His home loan knowledge is still developing, but his social media skills are already impressive.

Then there’s me, Kath.

I’m the mortgage broker and owner of My Mortgage Hacks. Before becoming a broker, I spent more than 25 years working in credit management and debt collection.

Now I use that experience to help people understand their options, compare lenders and make confident decisions about their home loans, without the jargon or pressure.

Nelson had his puppy check-up this week and got a clean bill of health.
With the RBA increasing the cash rate by 0.25% this week, bringing it to 4.60%, he thinks home loans deserve a check-up too.
When did you last check your interest rate? Even if your lender hasn’t passed on the increase yet, it’s worth finding out whether they can offer you a better rate or whether refinancing could improve your position.
Send me a message with your lender and current interest rate, and I’ll let you know whether it looks competitive.
Nelson’s check-up went well. Now it’s your loan’s turn.

Nelson has been a Brisbane Lions supporter his entire life, so he’s feeling pretty smug about this one.

Congratulations on an incredible third premiership in a row. What a team.

Feel like your bank is hiding from you?
Nelson says it might be time to stop waiting for them to make the first move and sniff out whether there’s a better deal available.
If you’ve had the same home loan for a while, don’t assume your lender will automatically offer you a better rate. Sometimes all it takes is asking for a pricing review. If they won’t move, you can compare the cost of staying against the potential savings of refinancing.
A lower rate isn’t always enough reason to change lenders. Fees, loan features, cashback offers and the overall structure all need to be considered.
Not sure whether your current loan is still competitive? I can help you check.
Follow along for more simple home loan tips from Nelson.

Please welcome the newest member of the My Mortgage Hacks team, Nelson.
Nelson has taken on the very important role of Chief Barketing Officer.
His current responsibilities include supervising Zoom calls, greeting clients, attracting attention on social media and negotiating the daily treat allowance.
He’s still learning the finer details of home loans, but we’re working on a new “Nelson Says” series where he’ll help explain some of the things home buyers and homeowners should know.
I suspect he may become the most popular member of the team.
