Who is the best mortgage broker in Brisbane?
There isn’t one, and any page that tells you otherwise is selling something.
We looked at 44 Brisbane broking firms. Ten cleared the bar: five years or more in the job, an average rating of 4.5 stars or better, at least 50 verified reviews, and access to a wide lender panel rather than one or two banks. They are listed in no particular order. Number 9 is not worse than number 2.
Where they differ is geography and volume. North Brisbane Home Loans (Patrick Cranshaw, Aspley) carries 369 reviews and covers the northern suburbs out to Moreton Bay. Loan Market’s Andrew Timms works out of East Brisbane with 272. Caroline Jean-Baptiste runs Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley from Bowen Hills, closer to the inner-city apartment market.
So the better question is who has done your deal before. Self-employed? Ask how many low-doc loans they settled last year. Buying in a flood-affected pocket? Ask which lenders have accepted their valuations there. A broker who answers with numbers is worth a meeting. One who answers with “we work with all the major banks” is not.
How we rank mortgage brokers in Brisbane
We assessed 44 brokers, 10 made the list
Our list shows you the best-rated mortgage brokers in Brisbane, based on a tailored set of criteria including:
✔ A minimum of 5 years’ experience in mortgage broking or financial services
✔ An average customer rating of 4.5 stars or above, based on verified reviews
✔ 50+ reviews across trusted online platforms
✔ A dedicated team structure to support clients throughout the process
✔ A diverse lender panel to access a wide range of loan options
✔ Strong local expertise in the Brisbane property market, including suburb insights and pricing trends for units and houses
Every provider listed on this page met these standards. They are shown in no particular order: this is not a 1-to-10 merit ranking, and a provider’s position in the list does not mean it is better than the others.
“Brisbane” here means Greater Brisbane. A few of the firms listed work from surrounding council areas such as Moreton Bay and Logan rather than the inner city, and are included because they serve buyers across the wider Brisbane market.

Dan made buying our first home easy and approachable. My partner and I decided to buy our first home in a market that can be overwhelming and confusing at times, especially for young individuals. Dan explained everything with confidence and worked hard to achieve a fantastic morgage that works with us. He happily answered all questions and ensured that we understood all processes and documents were accurately signed. His communication with us was timely and friendly, and he made sure to keep us in the loop with all processes related to our mortgage.We have recommended Dan to our friends and family, and we will continue to do so. We cannot thank you enough Dan for making this process positive for us. We are very happy in our new home!
Jack and Kelsey were absolutely fantastic. Absolute first class service with a smile. They takes the time to communicate clearly and even sending explanatory videos where it can help. I’d recommend them both to anyone and be more than happy to go back again anytime.
Responsive, Knowledgeable & Clear CommunicationI recently worked with Jack and the team to secure a property for a client, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.

We are incredibly satisfied with our experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to our friends.Thanks Kelsey and Jack!
Highly recommend! 🌟Jack was an absolute goldmine of information! He was reliable, always responded promptly and made us feel comfortable - no question was ever too silly. His calm manner and hard working nature kept us feeling at ease during our pre-approval process. Jack presented multiple options for us and clearly explained best and worst case scenarios which helped us feel confident in our decision making. I have already recommended him to friends and I personally wouldn’t use anyone else!
We recently used North Brisbane Mortgage Brokers to purchase our first home. Jack and Kelsey made this such a seamless process from start to finish. We constantly worried that we were nightmare clients with all of our questions, but they went above and beyond every time to thoroughly explain and put our minds at ease.An easy 5 star for Jack and Kelsey. I highly recommended getting in contact with them to make an otherwise stressful time a breeze. Thanks team!

He took the time to understand our needs and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.We can’t recommend Jack and his team highly enough – they’re an absolute asset to anyone looking for support with their home loan.

Brisbane Home Loan Brokers
- 5.0
- 45 lenders
- Residential & Investment Lending, Refinancing & Debt Consolidation
A Strathpine brokerage with a 45-lender panel, covering home and investment loans alongside car, business, personal, commercial and asset finance.
The pitch is breadth. One broker, one conversation, whatever you are borrowing for. A client with a mortgage and equipment finance deals with the same person for both, so somebody is looking at the whole position rather than one slice of it.

Daniel went above and beyond to help my husband and I in a moment where another broker had let us down. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, kind and took time to clearly explain what the best options were for our circumstances. We really appreciate Daniel going the extra mile to turnaround formal approval on our mortgage in such a short window and have since recommended Daniel to a number of other people.
Great service and super helpful. My partner and i were very impressed with how seamless Daniel made the process. I would highly recommend Brisbane Loans for your next home purchase.

Would have given 6 stars if I could! Daniel was able to find a solution to securing finance for our new home where two other brokers had failed. He was able to think outside of the box and creatively find a way forward within our very complicated circumstances. He’s a sharp young man with the right skills, who works tirelessly with integrity and is able to keep the bigger picture in view. Very professional yet personable. Highly recommend to anyone needing home finance, particularly to those who have more complicated circumstances or have had other brokers fail to get things across the line.

Thanks guys. I've never had a refinance settle 15 days from application before. I appreciate how fast and simple the entire process has been, and of course, the savings. Thank you Daniel 🙏Kind regards
Daniel from Brisbane Home Loans & Mortgage Brokers assisted us to refinance our mortgage across to a new provider at a much better interest rate. We found his service to be nothing short of extraordinary.He is friendly, professional, capable, honest and dedicated. At every milestone throughout the process he did exactly what he said he was going to do, was always contactable and if not, returned calls within 30 minutes.A fantastic experience and we would recommend him 100% to anyone looking for a stress-free, successful refinancing solution.
Could not recommend Brisbane Home Loans more highly. We are first-time home buyers and Jordan helped us evaluate our borrowing capacity multiple times and find a home loan that worked for self-employed folks. He is incredibly patient and a great communicator, which made the process much less stressful. When asked, he was also able to recommend other services that were excellent as well. Not sure where we would have been without him and wpuld definitely recommend him and the BHL team.

Client Experience
Amanda and Andrew were really wonderful and provided incredibly helpful guidance that made the whole home loan process seamless! Amanda was absolutely first rate and provided exceptional service- she was incredibly responsive and available to respond to countless queries and concerns with seemingly endless patience. We are so so grateful for all of their help and couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
What an awesome team. We went from thinking about refinancing to being approved in 8 business days. We are so happy with the new arrangements and can now get on with what we want to do. Cannot recommend Andrew, Ruby and the rest of the team highly enough.
We have worked with Andrew as a broker twice now, and could not recommend him and his team more! The service and expertise provided by Andrew and Ruby throughout our most recent purchase has been wonderful, and removed a lot of stress from the process.
Great experience with Andrew, Ruby and the team. Everything was made really easy for us, communication was clear throughout, and we always knew what was happening next. Really appreciate all the help getting our refinance sorted.
Kelsey and Ruby were excellent support throughout the entire process of refinancing our mortgage. Communication was always friendly and responsive, and we felt well looked after throughout the process. Thank you!
An excellent professional. The service she provided was impeccable from day one. She was extremely diligent, professional, and had incredible patience in answering every single one of our questions, making sure we understood the entire process. She did an extraordinary job and was a fundamental support at every stage of our home loan application and approval. If I ever need a broker again in the future, I would hire her again without hesitation. Absolutely recommended!
My husband and I worked with Hannah to renew our home loan and change from a variable to a fixed/variable. Andrew and Hannah were awesome, provided so much knowledge and super quick to get things moving. I would highly recommend them.
My family had an exceptional experience with Kelsey and Ruby. They helped us secure finance for our first home, including navigating the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme. Everything was explained clearly, and every question we had (and there were many) was answered promptly. They found us the best loan possible and put us in a strong financial position. They were also incredibly quick in providing property reports. If we ever need to refinance, we know exactly who we’ll be calling.
Thank you to the Loan market team!Andrew and Amanda executed the process seamlessly, showing genuine care for our needs along the way. We couldn't have asked for better service from all involved.
Professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. Our broker made the loan process easy and stress-free, Highly recommend
We had an excellent experience with Loan Market, and in particular Amanda Girling, who was outstanding throughout the entire process of getting our home loan across the line.Amanda was consistently on point — informative, proactive, and extremely easy to deal with. What really stood out was her attentiveness and clear communication at every stage, which gave us complete confidence during what can often be a stressful process.A big thank you as well to Andrew Timms and the broader team for their support. We couldn’t be happier with the service and would have no hesitation in recommending Loan Market to anyone looking for a broker who genuinely goes above and beyond.Highly recommended.
Amanda was incredible to work with from the beginning to the end of our home loan process. She was able to get me a higher loan than we had even thought and was incredibly contactable throughout the entire process. Amanda absolutely knows what shes doing and has been a huge help for us in our investment journey. Highly recommend her if you're looking for high quality and prompt broker servives.Thanks again Amanda!
Outstanding Service from the Whole TeamI recently refinanced my home loan with Loan Market Andrew Timms, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, every member of the team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive.What stood out most was how they listened carefully to my concerns regarding the ethical practices of my current bank and my reasons for my bank of choice. They respected my values while ensuring I was fully informed about all available options. Their guidance was clear, transparent, and tailored to my situation, making the refinancing process smooth and stress-free.It wasn’t just one person who impressed me. Every staff member I interacted with was excellent.

We’ve used Andrew Timms and team twice now to finance our loans and they have proved time and time again to be very reliable and responsive to short finance deadlines. The team are very experienced and supportive to deal with making the application process less stressful. I highly recommend Andrew and Kelsey!
Can't speak highly enough of Andrew and his team at LoanMarket. We have now dealt with Amanda twice and as a business owner nothing about getting a mortgage is straight forward but such a complicated process can be made easy and comfortable with a professional team like Amanda and Andrew. Thank you
First time I've used a mortgage broker, I dealt with Steve and Tanya from Andrew Timms team, they are both really helpful and very responsive. Steve did a great job finding us competitive options for our investment property. I'd happily work with them again and recommend them.
Loan Market was recommended to us by a local real estate agent and I am SO pleased we decided to work with Andrew and his team! Kudos to Amanda Girling who did most of the grunt work for us, you were amazing! We secured a great deal and any hurdles along the way were handled by Amanda minimising any stress to us. Andrew, Amanda & Tanya, thank you for helping us into our lovely new home, we could not have been happier with your service!
I had the pleasure of working with Steve and Tanya at Loan Market, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, their service and professionalism were outstanding. They took the time to understand our needs and provided tailored solutions that exceeded our expectations. Their expertise and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Steve and Tanya were always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way.Thank you both for your amazing service!
I'd like to thank Kelsey at Loan Market for all of her help ensuring I was successful with my home loan. We had some unforeseen hurdles but Loan Market were amazing and went above and beyond. I can't thank them enough!Thank you again Kelsey, Andrew and team.
Really appreciate Andrew and the team. Did all the hard work listening to a pretty unique situation involving re-finance, visas and a bunch of tricky options. The team synthesised all of that, narrowed down the options and came up with a great plan. Re-financed and new property purchased with an expedited contract as well! Thanks a million.
Loan Market provided an exceptional service to help secure our first home loan.Loan market were incredibly timely and were always available to discuss any questions we had.5 star service.
Very easy and very responsive mortgage brokerage services, including great after-sales service. Thanks for helping us get over the line!
We are so glad that we decided to go with Andrew and his team to secure our finance. Being self-employed always involves working through a lot of documentation. Andrew—and a special mention to Kelsey—was great to work with. The systems they have in place, along with their experience and expertise, ensured that gaining approval from our chosen lender was very straightforward. We would highly recommend them.
We have used Andrew Timms and his team several times now. Process has always been seamless, professional and accommodating. I recommend him to friends and family often.
Excellent experience and fully recommended using Andrew Timms and his team.
Andrew, Steve and Tanya were great to deal with. The team were very informative and we relied on their expertise a lot throughout the selection process. Thanks again
Thank you to Kelsey and Andrew for the great service and assistance with buying our first home and making the process as smooth and painless as possible.Highly recommended.
We have been with Andrew for 5 years and he has always provided excellent communication and you can tell he really cares about getting you the best result. Amanda and the rest of the team also provide excellent customer service and keep you posted as your application moves through the process. I highly recommend Andrew and team to everyone i know!
Have been working with Andrew and his team since we purchased our property in 2020. Exceptional service and personable team. Can’t recommend highly enough
Highly recommend Andrew Timms and his team .Their professionalism and dedication to supporting customers in their home loan journey is first class. Special mention to Steve who went over and above and was with us every step of the way. Thank you Team Timms!
"We bought our first home with Andrew, who got our loan approved quickly. After three years, we chose Loan Market to refinance, and once again, Kelsey and Andrew looked after us. They’ve been consistently delivering exactly what we needed, and the process was always swift. A well-deserved 5 stars!"
Andrew Timms and team (Kelsey B) were responsive, interested in our circumstance and keen to help us throughout the property purchase process. They were friendly and professional and worked as a team as required to ensure the anticipated outcome was met. Thank you!
AMAZING!! Ive just had a wonderful experience using these guys… They literally took care of everything and provided such a seamless experience. Andrew and his team are so great. Special call out to Kelsey who was so friendly and helpful and really went the extra mile for me!! 10/10
I recently used Loan Market with Andrew Timms for my first mortgage. Using a buyers agent, it took 9 months to find the right property. During this time, Kelsey completed 2 pre-approvals for me. However once the right property was found, there was a requirement to act immediately regarding finances.The thing that differentiated them from other brokers I had been talking to was the fact that they actually cared about me and that I wasn’t just another customer. Throughout the entire 9 months both Andrew and Kelsey were always reachable by phone and always quick to respond by email, and ended up having my mortgage formally approved within 2 business days of signing the contract.They made the stress of securing a mortgage that little bit easier and I would not hesitate to strongly recommend them to anyone trying to secure the best mortgage for their property purchase.
Andrew and his team were fantastic from the very start.We had a few complicated loan situations and it was really overwhelming for us to try and tackle. Andrew and his team really broke it down in simple terms and made the entire process seamless and also offered a lot of support to us even after settlement.We've used the team now several times and every time has been such a simple and easy solution. I would (and do) recommend them to everyone!
Kelsey was really great to work with. She was always quick to respond, super efficient and got my finance sorted in a short timeframe. Tanya was also really helpful with the settlement process. They made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend them.
A big thank you to Andrew Timms and the team for, yet again, making what can be a very stressful experience (getting the right home loan) into a smooth and easy process. Kahler Bates and Kelsey Bushell were also instrumental in our experience, and not to be forgotten. This was the second time that we engaged Andrew, and it felt very safe and reassuring to work with a team that genuinely cared for us and that also took the time to explain everything. And many times over, I may add... But they didn't mind the extra time it took to make sure that we understood properly what was needed and guided us every step of the way. We recommend Team Andrew Timms whole heartedly and who knows, maybe we'll buy yet another property one day! If we are, we'll definitely call them again. Well done everyone!
Andrew Timms came recommended to me by a family member, he and his team helped me to refinance and it was a great experience from start to finish. There was a sense of urgency from the team that is appreciated and the process was very straight forward. Would work with them again and recommend to others.

Client Experience
Second time dealing with NBHL, firstly with a refinance and secondly with a nuanced property transfer between brothers. I dealt with two different brokers (most recently Paul). The team are accessible, professional, experienced and in your corner. They will be my default broker going forward and a broker I am happy to recommend
Mathew and the team at North Brisbane Home loans have provided an excellent experience and service. As shift workers he always made time out of hours to catch up, check in and see how things were going. Once we found our home he had it all approved in a few days. Couldn’t fault this business and the team. Fantastic at what they do, welcoming and nothing ever felt like a problem. Thank you Matt and the team and North Brisbane Home loans
I couldn’t recommend Paul & his team highly enough. From start to finish, they were exceptional. Their communication was clear, timely, and reassuring during what can be a very stressful process. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and made what felt overwhelming completely manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for their expertise and support.
Paul and his team are great to deal with and made the whole process easy to understand. He was able to flexibly navigate my unique financial situation and provide solutions. I highly recommend North Brisbane Home Loans
Matt and the team were amazing to deal! I will recommending the team there to anyone looking for housing finance
We highly recommend the service of Paul and the team at NBHL. We’ve accessed the team’s knowledge and expertise on two occasions now and have been blown away by their service and support. We found Paul to be both personable and professional, and extremely responsive to all communication. We are very grateful for their work.
Bought my apartment from them about a year ago. Was recommended by a friend of mine. Absolutely amazing work and willing to go the extra mile. Interacted with most of the team, each and every one of them are the best there is. - Matt.
Matt made the home buying process process massively easier for us. Being first home buyers we went into this with no experience. We had heard that the team you have can make or break the stress of it all. Matt and the team at NBH were was always within reach, were very knowledgeable, and were resiliently patient with all our questions. We appreciate all the extra effort they put in to make it a smooth operation
Matt and the team couldn't have been more helpful. We went from initial enquiry to loan approved in a very short space of time. This is the 4th time we have used NBHL and couldn't recommend them any higher!
I had a fantastic experience working with this team. They provided thorough information and are my top choice for brokering.
I never thought finance (even a bridging loan) would be the smoothest, most stress-free part of our home purchase process. Working with Brodie was excellent; he was calm, friendly, and always quick to respond, handling all the communication and guiding us through each step. When he wasn’t available, Georgia and Molly were just as helpful and across our application.We got exactly the outcome we wanted and would recommend the team without hesitation. Thanks legends!
We partnered with North Brisbane Home Loans to help secure financing for our first home. Matthew was very helpful, prompt, and moved at a fast pace - making sure we secured what we needed to succeed. Highly recommend, thank you
Matthew and the team at North Brisbane Home Loans turned what felt like a pipe dream of owning our first home into a reality. Matthew was able to demystify the process for us and help us confidently purchase our own home within a very tight time frame! We can’t thank him enough for his generosity, guidance and expertise.
Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Matthew as well as all other staff went above and beyond with helping me out secure my first home! They were very easy to deal with, explained everything very clear and promptly kept me updated!

Absolutely amazing experience purchasing my first home with Pat & the team! 👏 thanks again team!
10+ Years of Exceptional Support – Wouldn’t Go Anywhere Else!!I've been working with Pat and the team for over 10 years now, and honestly, I wouldn't go anywhere else for home loan advice. They've helped me through multiple property purchases and every time the service has been exceptional.What stands out most is how personal and genuine the experience is — you're not just a number. They take the time to really understand your needs and always come back with clear, honest advice. Nothing is ever too hard, and their responsiveness is incredible — always on the front foot, always calm, and always professional.You can really feel the care and pride they put into what they do. I’ve recommended them to friends and family over the years and will continue to do so. It’s rare to find people this dependable, knowledgeable and easy to work with.Massive shout out to Brodie in the team for the help recently, truly awesome and a pleasure to deal with!!!Highly recommend.
Great experience! Super easy, low stress, and everything was pretty much on time with the expected dates (not that NBHL have any control over the banks, but they advised us of expectations with this particular lender hahah).Thanks Brodie and team!

Highly recommended. They made the buying process both possible and pleasurable with fast, efficient service. Will gladly use again and recommend to others. Thank you.
Keely was amazing for my first home purchase. She had a can-do mindset and explained all my options clearly. She also checked in 6 months after as promised to do a revaluation, resulting in an interest rate reduction without me having to lift a finger. Highly recommend! Thanks Keely and the team in Fortitude Valley.
I highly recommend Renee. During my recent home purchase, she was clear, honest, and upfront about my options, helping me find the right lender for my circumstances. The entire process was quick and efficient. I also want to acknowledge Kristin, who made the paperwork side of things seamless. Even while I was overseas during the loan application, everything continued smoothly without interruption. Thanks to both Renee and Kristin for making what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless.
Renee Cunningham has helped me with a mortgage and refinance over the past 4 years, Renee also helped my little sister in another state buy her first home. Renee's professionalism, commitment and honesty goes above and beyond and i can't recommend her highly enough. Do yourself a favour for all your mortgage needs, give Renee a call. Thanks Renee and looking forward to doing more business with you in the future. Clint
Great experience with Keely and Kristin from Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley. This is our third property purchased through Mortgage Choice and I highly recommend the group. Keely and Kristin navigated us from pre-approval through to settlement, their advice was a constant reassurance that guided our decision-making.
Keely was absolutely incredible to work with. She got my loan approved in record time, handled every detail with professionalism and care, and made the whole process stress-free. She truly went above and beyond, I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Renee Cunningham at Mortgage Choice was extremely helpful and took us through the process step by step - no question too dumb! This is the second mortgage for us and we'd go back again!

The team’s patience was beyond anything we’ve ever experienced; they took time to listen, answer every question, and make us feel like we were their top priority. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism, yet it felt so warm, like we were family. To Lee your team’s kindness and dedication have made such a difference to us, and we can’t thank you enough. As a business owner it’s not always easy to navigate such a challenge and over months of delays due to unforeseen circumstances… you delt with all quick and efficient, even in your own time .

My partner and I had a wonderful experience with Caroline at Mortgage Choice. She made the whole process of buying our first home less overwhelming with her knowledge and expertise. We really loved that Caroline reached out to multiple banks in order to secure us the best possible home loan, which is something our previous mortgage broker had not done. Once we had purchased our home, the bank that had initially offered us the best detail changed their rates, and Caroline didn’t hesitate to reach out to other banks and find us a much better deal. It was lovely working with her. We are very grateful we found a reliable broker who really had our best interests in mind, and took the time to talk us through each step along the way. Thanks again Caroline!
We have engaged Caroline and her team on multiple occasions now. Their service is always professional and extremely committed to getting us the best deal. Many thanks once again!
Couldn’t recommend Mortgage Choice in Fortitude Valley highly enough. Renee was incredible, helping us over multiple meetings across 2 years to put all the right steps in place to set ourselves up. And when the time came Renee and Kristin made the whole process incredibly easy. We’ll be back for our next purchase, no question about it! Thanks again for the help and support.
We have been working with Caroline and the team from Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley for 16 years. Caroline has helped with the mortgages to purchase 3 homes and has always made the process seamless. We couldn’t recommend the team highly enough.
Both Renee and Kristin were a great help and made the process as smooth as possible. Thank you!
Efficient, fast, polite and understanding....you are the BEST of the BEST and we cannot thankyou enough....
Building a home is the biggest stress we went through as a family. So many variables and a lot of things can go wrong. It's always nice to have a one constant that you can really really trust.For us, Kristin, Renee and the team was that constant. They took all our stress away and helped us step by step.Day, night, weekdays, weekends, public holidays, whatever it is, Kristin always responded and stood by our side.Thank you so much team. Looking forward to work with you in our future properties as well.
Sensational experience from a first home owner. Thanks Renne & MC FV Team! 🥇
The Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley under Caroline's leadership is the best one! First, they are willing to listen to your needs, assess it, doing the financial figures before giving their best honest financial advise. Caroline will tell you straight in the face what you can or can't afford, not wasting time. I even tweak a couple times the purchase figures up or down, P&I or interest only, variable or fix rates, there was no issues with Caroline and got the different financial scenarios emailed to me right away for me to review. She always willing to provide for the customers even doing this in midnight at times. The pre-approval process was seamless due to hardworking staff with customer focus and attention to details. After we have signed the contract of sale, it was all green light from there and Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley was always there guiding us, constantly communicating, checking all statements and paper works were all in place until settlement day. There was no delay or hassle at all during the process. I would like to thank Caroline, Vicki, Michelle, Kristin and the whole team for the awesome service provided to us. It was a pleasure to have you in our side during this emotional and stressful time of purchasing our new home. Thank you!!!
I chose this Mortgage Choice based on the reviews and I would have to say all of the glowing reviews are absolutely true. Everyone I have dealt have gone above and beyond. No question too silly and they are extremely helpful and insightful. Vicki, Renee, Kristin and team have been wonderful to deal with. I would highly recommend talking to this team. Especially if you are a first home buyer!
Caroline and the team have just navigated us through our second home purchase as we moved to a more convenient area.While buying and selling will never be a stress free process, it is made easier with the help of friendly professionals that get the job done!Thanks Caroline and Kristin in particular, but the whole team!
We would like to thank Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley for helping us with purchasing our home. In particular, Renee, our broker, for providing a relaxed and comfortable experience throughout the whole process.

We are so happy we used Mortgage Choice Fortitude Valley and highly recommend them.Thank you again!Jess and Patrick.
Mortgage Choice FV has provided us a full complete advices and services from the beginning to the end of our property purchase journey. Caroline went through all the information and possible scenarios in detail for us. There has been a tensed delayed period when we waited the required documents from the bank, however Kristin was always there to guide and held our hands throughout the process. We were never felt that we left in the dark not knowing the process.

Beyond just the technical side of the mortgage process, he is genuinely caring and takes the time to understand your specific needs.

We had a wonderful experience working with Karlee as our mortgage broker. She was friendly, understanding, and took the time to explain everything clearly so we always felt confident throughout the process.Karlee was always available when we needed clarification and made everything feel smooth and streamlined. She also liaised with our buyer’s agent, which made the whole process even easier for us.We really appreciated her support and would happily recommend her to others.
Cara and her team at Borro have been nothing short of exceptional throughout our home loan process. From the very beginning, Cara provided clear communication and comprehensive information, making the process of moving banks and securing a loan for our new mortgage smooth and stress-free.She took the time to explain every step, answer all our questions, and ensured we felt confident in the decisions we were making.

Kelly from Borro was an absolute delight to work with! She made applying for a home loan feel easy, guiding me every step of the way and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Kelly was always prompt, professional, and communicated clearly with genuine empathy, which made a huge difference in helping me understand the loan process and feel fully supported. She consistently provided timely updates, even after work hours and during her annual leave, which I was incredibly grateful for. Thanks to her guidance, we secured formal approval on time. I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding service and would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mortgage broker.

FAQs about Brisbane mortgage brokers
1. How much does a mortgage broker in Brisbane cost?
In most cases, working with a mortgage broker won’t cost you anything out of pocket. They’re paid by the lender via commission – usually an upfront payment when your loan settles, and a smaller ongoing “trail” commission. Brokers are required to disclose how they’re paid, so you’ll know upfront if any fees apply (which is rare for standard home loans).
2. How is a mortgage broker different from a bank?
A broker compares loan options from a panel of lenders – including banks, credit unions, and specialist lenders – to find a loan that suits you. A bank can only offer its own products. Brokers act in your best interest and handle the paperwork, while bank lending staff represent the bank.
3. How long does it take to get a home loan through a broker?
Timeframes vary depending on the lender and how quickly you provide your documents. On average:
- Pre-approval takes 1–5 business days
Formal approval takes 5–10 business days once you’ve signed a contract and valuation is complete
Settlement usually happens 30–60 days after you sign a contract, depending on your agreement with the seller.
4. Can mortgage brokers help with bad credit?
Yes. Some brokers work with lenders who offer more flexible approval criteria. If you’ve had defaults, missed payments, or other issues in the past, a broker can help you present your application in the best light – and connect you with lenders who specialise in these situations.
5. What documents will I need to provide?
The paperwork depends on your situation, but generally includes:
- Photo ID
- Payslips or tax returns
- Recent bank statements
- Details of assets, debts, and expenses
- A copy of your purchase contract (if applicable).
Your broker will let you know exactly what’s needed to keep things moving.
6. Are mortgage brokers regulated in Brisbane?
Yes. Mortgage brokers in Brisbane, as in the rest of Australia, must hold an Australian Credit Licence (ACL) or be an authorised representative of a licence holder. They are regulated by ASIC and are legally required to act in your best interest when providing credit assistance.
7. Can a mortgage broker help me access first home buyer grants in Queensland?
Absolutely. A good broker will explain which government schemes you may be eligible for – like the First Home Owner Grant (currently $30,000 for new builds in QLD, with the boosted amount extended by the Queensland Government beyond its original 30 June 2026 expiry) – and help you apply as part of your loan process.
8. Can I use a broker to refinance?
Yes. If you already have a home loan, a broker can compare what you’re paying now with other offers in the market. They’ll help you switch to a better rate or structure, potentially saving you thousands or helping you access equity.
