What our clients say

"Stumbled across Tanta and I'm so pleased we did.
Luke guided us every step of the way and was a huge support during our first home buying experience. He was readily available when we had questions (I had a lot of them) and followed up regularly while we were searching for our home. Once our offer was accepted, he walked us through each step and regularly checked in until we had the keys in our hands.
Highly recommend!"

Your journey to homeownership - our 6-step process

Step 1: Initial Phone Consultation

A quick, no-obligation call to understand your position and explain the application process. We'll discuss the three key factors that determine your borrowing capacity:

• Your deposit
• Your income
• Your expenses

Outcome: Walk away knowing exactly how much you can borrow

Step 2: Secure Data Collection

Upload your information quickly and easily through our secure online portal. 

Outcome: Receive accurate borrowing estimates based on your real financial position

Step 3: Education & Strategy Session

Our signature "Strategy Sessions" are comprehensive online meetings that cover everything first-home buyers need to know. We cut through the confusion and online-information overload.

Outcome: Complete clarity on the home-buying process - it will seem straightforward and simple

Step 4: Pre-approval & House Hunting Guidance

We'll guide you to the lender most likely to approve your application. Not all banks are the same and choosing the right one can mean the difference between approval and rejection.

Outcome: You'll be ready to confidently make offers on your dream home

Step 5: Loan Structuring

Once your purchase is complete, we'll help optimise your mortgage structure. From fixed vs floating rates to revolving credits and offset accounts, we'll set you up to pay off your loan faster.

Outcome: A mortgage structure designed to save you money

Step 6: Ongoing Support

We don't disappear after settlement. We provide ongoing advice and will contact you when it's time to refix your rates.

Outcome: A trusted adviser for life
