Application

A mortgage broker will help you prepare all the correct information and documents required in order to maximise your chances of loan approval with minimum difficulty. As part of your assessment, the amount you’re allowed to borrow will be calculated. Your broker will present you with available loan options and together you can choose the most suitable option for you. Your application will then be submitted to the lender.


Pre- Approval & Settlement

After your application has been submitted, you’ll be informed if you’ve received a conditional approval, also known as a pre-approval. This means that you have met most of the lenders requirements for a home loan.

When you have chosen your property and the lender has everything they need, they will provide you with a formal approval and send over your loan contract. Loan funds can then be advanced and made available to you to secure your property.

Your mortgage broker will contact you after your loan has been set up to make sure that you understand the loan’s terms and conditions and how to make the repayments correctly. If you require any additional services, your broker can help you make an informed decision or answer any questions you may have.

I love my job of making people's dreams come true. The joy it brings when people thank me for having helped them secure a property they can call home or investment they can lean on when they retire is priceless. I have helped hundreds of people save thousands of dollars on their mortgage, unlocked valuable equity from their assets to buy investments, businesses etc., and helped them repay their debts and get their finances in order. I have been fortunate enough to help young couples grow from first home buyers to property investors by helping them at each step on their financial journey. In addition, I have helped many businesses seek finance when their banks would not lend them money because of their credit history.

With a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking, a Bachelor's Degree in Business Accounting and experience working with several financial institutions, I started Euphoria Loans in Feb 2015. The goal was to make finance easy for people from all kinds of life, and I am proud to say we have been able to do just that.
