Erin Truscott:
My name’s Erin, and I’m a financial advisor at Direct Wealth. At Direct Wealth, we have a number of services we offer around lending, and the two main services we offer are around personal lending for your home and, also, commercial lending. So, this could be things you might need to borrow for to get equipment for your business.

So, when we think about a referral to one of our specialist lenders, this would be mainly for two key areas, whether it’s a review of your existing loans and they want to reduce some cost, or to borrow money to fund a new purchase. This could be either the purchase of a new home or a commercial space, or also some commercial product for your business, whether it be equipment or a space for you to run your business from.

One of the things we see at Direct Wealth often is people coming to us looking for ways to just reduce the risks that they have and the debt that they hold. One of the easiest, quickest ways that we would look at for them is their debt, how that’s structured, and how we can get someone to help them restructure that. So once you sit down with an advisor at Direct Wealth and we identify that there’s a need there, we’ll refer you to our specialist broker who can help you work through the process, help reduce some of those debts, or the interest that you’re paying on those debts, to help you, in turn, pay down those loans more quickly, which reduces your risk and allows you to feel more comfortable and confident in lower debt levels and a healthier balance sheet.

The main benefit of having a personalised lending plan in place means that you’ve had your structure reviewed personally for you. It’s also being stress tested to ensure that you can feel confident that the plan you have to move forward is doable and that you are able to review that on an ongoing basis in line with your life as things change. So, if you are thinking about starting your financial planning journey, or perhaps you might be looking for a new financial advisor, please do reach out to the team at Direct Wealth. We have a number of wonderful advisors here who can really help you on your journey and give you peace of mind that the plan you have in place is going to make sure that you are okay now and into the future. We really look forward to hearing from you.

Since changing over from another Financial Advisor to Direct Wealth two years ago I find them to be a very professional and knowledgeable business. I recently had my yearly review with Ben, and I was very impressed with the way my finances are being looked after. I look forward to my next review. I would certainly recommend Direct Wealth to any interested prospective client.

Had my first meeting with Greg and Simon today.
Very professional and answered all my questions with the exact details I was looking for in a financial team.
Other companies beat around the bush.
Really friendly and down to earth team.

Should have just contacted them first

Today I met with Luke, his understanding of my financial position was very clear. The advice Luke shared with me for my retirement plan was clear and uncomplicated. I now feel much more at ease and confident with my view of the next step in my life. He was very down to earth and friendly to talk with and discuss all my options.
Thank you Luke
google
my wife and myself were introduced to Ben Marlow of Direct Wealth for a discussion on looking after our superannuation & pension requirements. I was a little doubtful at first as the fund i was with was performing ok for me. Ben gave us his background on financial planning and we had a second meeting with Ben. After this meeting my wife and myself decided to let Direct Wealth look after our finances. We could not be more pleased with our switch to Direct Wealth as the team there are so helpful and keeping us informed on our financial matters. I would recommend to anyone Direct Wealth for looking after their financial planning.

My husband and I couldn’t recommend Luke highly enough to look after your financial dealings for your retirement. We feel in good hands with his vast knowledge and his amazing ability to provide us with prompt advice. Luke is astute and has great personality, our catch-ups are never boring 😊

Our association with Luke Youd began around 5 years ago. His advice, guidance and expertise has steered us safely, successfully and profitably to a great semi retired lifestyle, arguably, 10 years or potentially more, ahead of schedule. We count ourselves very fortunate to have Luke in our corner. He has our sincerest thanks. If there were more stars we’d click everyone of them.

We have been a client for many years and would highly recommend. Kirsty goes above and beyond to assist and makes you feel extremely comfortable and have peace of minds that you are in good hands.

google
My wife and I met with Kirsty and she made us feel at ease with explaining how she would invest our money for retirement and resolved concerns we had. Kirsty was very thorough and made us feel comfortable with our decision to utilise Direct Wealth.
google
Ben Marlow was initially thrust upon us after the amalgamation of our accountants with Direct Wealth and this is without doubt one of the best financial outcomes to have happened to my wife and I. Initially I was sceptical of his enthusiasm and apparent desire to nurture and improve our financial stability moving towards retirement. Ben has tailored his communication style to not only be relatable to us but also educational and has further embedded our trust in his advice with proven outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Ben to any prospective client.
google
My wife Jackie & I have recently completed an annual review with Kirsty. Whilst we have been looked after by Kirsty for a few years now we continue to be impressed with her knowledge, professionalism & lovely outgoing manner. We would also like to add that the support & office staff at Direct Wealth appear to be of the same high standard.

Just started with this company and my adviser is Erin. So far I like everything about them and her- very friendly, relatable, down-to-earth and approachable. I am glad I found them and looking forward to see what comes next!

I recently had a follow up meeting with Luke Youd who has now joined the Direct Wealth team. As usual the meeting with Luke was very informative and he is always generous with his time to explain things to me – regardless of how obscure my questions might be.

I have great confidence in my dealings with Luke going forward and also with the friendly Direct Wealth staff in general, who are helpful and proactive with their communications with their clients.

As a new client of Direct Wealth, I have been very impressed with Ben and the time he has taken to understand my changing financial situation and to work a best solution for me for the present and into the future.

Ben took the time to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I was comfortable with each decision. His attention to detail and proactive communication helped me feel confident about my financial future.

Sam and Ella were excellent in providing general information for my parents who are looking to retire. Whilst we aren’t at the stage to utilise the service we are very impressed by their professionalism and genuine care.
google
Initial chat with Ben. Found him very patient, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Ben also came across as proactive – when presented non-financial industry information relating to an industry specific risk in a space that was removed from the finance industry, and that he wasn’t previously aware of – Ben indicated that he would go away and investigate that further risk so he could be informed for his other clients. Ben followed through on call times, and emails when he said he would send them. Cannot comment on the service beyond that. Would recommend as someone who was approachable and easy to talk to.

Can’t speak highly enough of the advise that Joel & the team at Direct Wealth have supplied. Joel is always available when we need to contact him & answers our questions with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mortgage broker is a professional who acts as an intermediary between you and lenders. They help you find the best mortgage options by comparing different home loan products from various lenders. Mortgage brokers simplify the process and ensure you get the best deal for your financial situation.

Be prepared to provide detailed financial information and discuss your property goals to ensure we can offer the most relevant advice. Our brokers take the time to understand your needs and develop a personalised plan to help you achieve your homeownership or investment objectives.

Using a mortgage broker can provide you with access to a wider range of mortgage options and lenders than going directly to a bank. Brokers can offer tailored advice, negotiate better terms, and handle the paperwork, making the process smoother and more efficient.

Mortgage brokers are typically paid a commission from the lender once your loan is settled. This commission does not usually affect the cost of your loan. Some brokers may charge a fee for their services, but this should be discussed upfront.

The cost of a mortgage broker can vary. While many brokers receive a commission from the lender, some may charge additional fees for their services. It’s important to ask about any potential costs during your initial consultation.

A mortgage broker specialises in residential home loans, while a commercial mortgage loan broker focuses on securing financing for commercial properties. Both types of brokers provide valuable services, but their areas of expertise differ.

When meeting with a home loan broker, consider asking about their experience, the range of lenders they work with, their fees, how they get paid, and the types of loans they specialise in. It’s also helpful to ask about their process for finding the best mortgage for your needs.

 

Choosing a good mortgage broker involves looking for someone with experience, positive client reviews, and a wide network of lenders. Ask for recommendations, check their credentials, and ensure they understand your financial goals and needs.

Yes, mortgage brokers can help you refinance your existing loan. They will assess your current mortgage, compare it with new offers, and guide you through the refinancing process to ensure you get better terms and rates.

 

In Australia, mortgage brokers help clients navigate the mortgage market, offering expert advice and access to a variety of loan products. They handle the loan application process, negotiate with lenders, and provide ongoing support to ensure the mortgage remains suitable for the client’s needs.

 

Australian mortgage brokers offer numerous benefits, including access to a wide range of lenders, personalised mortgage advice, and assistance with the entire loan process. They help you find the best home loan options and ensure the terms suit your financial situation. Most importantly, they have deep knowledge of the Australia mortgage market and factors that influence mortgage options, interest rates, trends, and more. 

Interest rates significantly impact your mortgage by determining the amount of interest you’ll pay over the life of the loan. Lower interest rates reduce your monthly payments and total interest paid, while higher rates increase your costs. Our mortgage brokers can help you find the best interest rates available, being sure that your mortgage commitments are manageable. 

 

A comparison rate includes the interest rate and most fees and charges related to a loan, providing a clearer picture of the loan’s true cost. It helps you compare different loan products more accurately. However, remember that the comparison rate may not include all fees, so it’s essential to understand the terms and conditions of each loan.

 

A mortgage broker works with various lenders to find the best mortgage options for clients, while a home loan consultant typically works for a single lender and offers loan products from that specific institution.

Mortgage brokers provide a broader range of options along with personalised advice, which can have tremendous benefits over both the short and long-term. 

Yes, a mortgage broker can assist with investment property loans. They have expertise in securing financing for investment properties and can help you find loan products that suit your investment goals and financial situation.

Mortgage brokers can guide first-time home buyers through the complex mortgage process, helping them understand their options, secure pre-approval, and find the best home loan products. They provide valuable advice and support, making the home-buying experience smoother and less stressful.

 
 

A commercial mortgage broker specialises in securing financing for commercial properties. They help businesses and investors find the best loan products for purchasing, refinancing, or developing commercial real estate. They also negotiate terms and handle the application process.

A good mortgage broker will provide transparent information about the loan options available to you and explain why certain products are recommended.

You can then compare the broker’s offerings with other lenders to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

It’s also beneficial to ask about their experience and client reviews.

 

During the loan application process, your mortgage broker will gather your financial information, submit your application to lenders, and negotiate terms on your behalf. They will keep you informed throughout the process and help address any issues that arise until your loan is approved and settled. 

Refinancing with a mortgage broker involves reviewing your current mortgage terms, assessing new loan products, and comparing potential savings. Your broker will guide you through the application process, handle negotiations with lenders, and ensure the refinancing aligns with your financial goals.

Using a mortgage broker for home loans in Australia offers several advantages, including access to a wide range of lenders, expert advice tailored to your financial situation, and assistance throughout the loan process. Brokers can often secure better terms and interest rates than you might find on your own.

Yes, a mortgage broker can assist with SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) loans. They can help you navigate the specific requirements and regulations associated with SMSF loans and find suitable lenders to finance property investments within your super fund.

Additional repayments can significantly reduce the total interest paid over the life of your mortgage and shorten the loan term. Making extra payments, even small ones, can help you pay off your mortgage faster and save money in the long run.

Principal and interest loans are the most common type of mortgage where your repayments cover both the principal amount borrowed and the interest charged. This type of loan gradually reduces your debt over time, as opposed to interest-only loans where you only pay the interest for a specified period.

 

During the initial consultation, ask your mortgage broker about their experience, the range of lenders they work with, their fees, how they get paid, and the types of loans they specialise in. Also, inquire about the mortgage process, potential timelines, and what documents you’ll need to provide.

A mortgage broker assists with property investment loans by understanding your investment goals, finding suitable loan products, and negotiating favourable terms. They also provide advice on leveraging equity, managing risks, and ensuring your investment strategy aligns with your financial objectives.

 

The terms “mortgage broker” and “mortgage agent” are often used interchangeably, but in some regions, a mortgage agent might work under the supervision of a licensed mortgage broker. Both roles involve helping clients find and secure mortgage loans, but brokers typically have more extensive experience and direct lender relationships.

The process of getting a home loan in Australia involves assessing your financial situation, securing pre-approval, finding a property, completing the loan application, and undergoing a property valuation. Your mortgage broker will guide you through each step, ensuring you meet all requirements and secure the best possible loan terms.
