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
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.

Brisbane Home Loan Brokers
- 5.0

- 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.

What clients say about Loan Market Andrew Timms
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.

What clients say about North Brisbane Home Loans
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.

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.
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

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.
