Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers to Common Questions

What is a mortgage broker, and why should I use one instead of going direct to a bank?

A mortgage broker (like us at First State Home Loans) acts as your independent guide — we compare loans from a wide panel of 30+ lenders (big banks, specialists, and competitive non-banks) to find the best fit for your situation.

We don’t charge clients upfront fees for standard home loans — our service is free to you. We receive a commission from the lender when your loan settles (this is standard and fully disclosed). This keeps things transparent and client-first. For complex loans (e.g., some SMSF or low doc), fees may apply — we’ll always explain everything upfront.

Yes Absolutely! We encourage you to get in touch if your situation is complicated. This could mean that you are currently under employed, on leave from work, have a low deposit, have had a significant life event (such as divorce or illness), have poor credit history, have a tax debt or a large upcoming unforeseen expense
