Testimonial

“I cannot recommend Elias highly enough as a mortgage broker. My situation was far from straightforward. I was applying for a guarantor loan and faced numerous hurdles. Despite these challenges, Elias went above and beyond at every stage of the process.

His expertise, persistence and genuine care about my deal made all the difference. Even when things were looking grim and it seemed like the odds were stacked against me, Elias never gave up. He navigated every obstacle with professionalism and determination, always keeping me informed and reassured. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, I am now officially a first home owner, something I once thought was out of reach!

I am incredibly grateful for everything Elias has done for me. If you are looking for a mortgage broker who will truly go the extra mile, look no further. Elias, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying, refinancing or reviewing your loan can raise a lot of questions. Here are a few of the ones clients ask most often.

  • Mortgage brokers are typically paid by the lender once a loan settles. This is generally in the form of a commission for arranging and managing the loan. For most home loan scenarios, there is no upfront cost to you for our service.

  • In most residential lending scenarios, there is no upfront fee to engage ESF Finance. If a situation were to involve a fee, this would always be discussed openly before any work begins.

  • While ESF Finance has a strong focus on supporting police and emergency services, we also work with a wider range of professionals and families who value clarity, discretion, and a structured approach to lending.

  • Borrowing capacity depends on several factors including your income, existing debts, living expenses and the lender’s policies. For many people, especially those with allowances, overtime, or complex income structures, different lenders may assess borrowing power differently.

  • Not necessarily. While a 20% deposit can help avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), many buyers purchase property with a smaller deposit. Depending on your situation, there may be options available with lower deposits, including government schemes or guarantor support from family members.

  • Ideally, before you start seriously looking at properties. Speaking with a broker early helps you understand your borrowing capacity, available loan options, and whether you should obtain pre-approval. This can give you confidence when making offers and help avoid surprises later in the process.

  • Many people stay with the same loan for years without reviewing whether it still suits their situation. Interest rates, lending policies and personal circumstances can change over time. A loan review may help identify opportunities to restructure or refinance your loan so it better aligns with your current goals.
